Especially funny and/or audacious ones..

I find it hilarious that Coppola faked a seizure in front of Paramount executives when they said "Marlon Brando will never be in this picture". I think it helped because Coppola actually has epilepsy and used it in his favor.. Just imagine if someone else played Don Vito Corleone in "The Godfather"

Paramount put out a TV series not that long ago about the making of The Godfather. Apparently (according to that anyway) for the famous massacre scene in the restaurant Coppola instructed his staff to put the gun in the toilet higher than Pacino had expected. Pacino was then suitably angry after retrieving the gun and 'in the zone' when he played the scene!

Straw Dogs - Sam Peckinpah and Dustin Hoffman were both stark naked when they called Susan George into the office to announce she had got the role. (this only makes sense if you have seen the film!)

 I saw "Straw Dogs" but still don't understand why they'd do that!
