50 Weird Behind-The-Scenes Images That Put A Whole New Spin On Your Favorite Films (New Pics)
Making a movie is no walk in the park. It can take months, if not years, to produce cinematic magic. For every perfect scene we see in the final cut, there are countless retakes, bloopers, and bizarre moments that happen before "that's a wrap."
We might never even know about them were it not for the photographers tasked with snapping the chaos behind the scenes. Some of those photos aren't even meant to go public but they do. And they show us just how wild the world of filmmaking really is.
There's a special corner of the internet dedicated to sharing Behind The Scenes Pics That Look Like Sh*tposts. As the name suggests, it's a wall of messy, weird, jaw-dropping and oddly fascinating images that reveal the real and raw happenings on set.
Bored Panda has put together a compilation of the best, for you to scroll through ahead of your next movie night in. Grab your popcorn, buckle up and prepare to see some of your favorite films in a whole new light. We also take a look at some unfortunate mishaps that have happened on the sets of some Hollywood movies. You'll find that between the images.

The Walking Dead (2010-)
It is surprisingly easy to teach a horse doing this, and even more surprising, they often like sitting like this.
I think every animal forced to act should have a size appropriate pillowtop mattress bed to relax on between takes
ahaa yes, the beginning ! and where did you ran away, come back and complete the series🤦♂️
I was completely hooked until about Season 5… is the rest of the series worth watching (no spoilers, please!)
Load More Replies...The movie that took us around two hours to watch could have taken two years to make.
“While in production, schedules can change at the turn of a dime, and you have to be ready to pivot right then and there," says line producer and unit production manager Xavier Luis Salinas. "From the time you develop a script to a shooting script, you are looking at one to three years of your life trying to produce your project.”
And those one to three years are bound to be filled with a lot of ups and downs, highs and lows, craziness and chaos.
A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
Trivia - The movie Halloween (1978) is supposed to be in Illinoi but was filmed in California. They had a guy spreading dead leaves around for shots to make it look like Illinois in October. The man spreading those leaves and then bagging them and bringing them to the next shot - Robert Englund. I am filled with useless information!
The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King (2003)

As the Raindance Film Festival site puts it, a film set is truly a place where Murphy’s law applies. Loads can go wrong, and often it does. From equipment malfunctioning to people getting injured, the crew knows to expect the unexpected.
The site explains that props, weather and stunts play a big role in making a film. "Cast and crew can trip over wires or be hurt by an explosive from a stunt that’s defective or isn’t handled properly," it notes.
Batman (1966)
And the make-up over his clearly visible moustache.
Load More Replies...It was a movie. All of the villains teamed up, and Batman got to use his shark repellant spray.

Alien (1979)
Thomas The Tank Engine (1984 - 2021)
We had all of the videos back in the 90's. My middle son in particular watched them all the time. I grew to hate the opening music.
He looks like a kaiju that's summoned whenever Sodor needs a protector
Dude, I'm confused to. That's blue train has a face, and it's starring into my soul.
One of the most common accidents that happens to people on a film set is falling.
"Falling off a ladder, a scissor lift, a scaffold, or a rooftop: unfortunately, these accidents occur more often than they should," reads production blog, The Beat. "People exercise caution in their daily lives, yet on set, if people are waiting or if something’s running behind schedule, people take chances they normally wouldn’t and end up injured."
Cujo (1983)
I had two google and came up with at least 5 St. Bernard dogs, a mechanical dog, and a human in a dog suit were all used in the movie as "Cujo."
was worse if was a dog in a human suit wearing a dog suit
Load More Replies...I obviously knew they had to use a substitute for a real dog in shots but I had no idea it was a GUY IN A DOG SUIT. lmoooooo
TBH I identified with mostly with Cujo in this film. I just thought he was misunderstood.
X-Men (2000)
So, what does your job entail?...Explains job, badly, stumbling over words...gets arrested for public perversion...But I'm just a make-up artist!
I know exactly the shade of blue and what brand of makeup they are airbrushing right down to the airbrushes they are using. Just happens to be my job behind the scenes in Hollywood makeup artistry. It's a rare, strange job indeed. I've seen things...😳
Jurassic Park 3 (2001)
I remember reading that the only CGI dinosaurs in the first movie were when the entire dinosaur is on screen. When it was just a head, legs,etc. it was all practical
Load More Replies...Film set disasters aren't always about danger. Sometimes they're funny. Ask Renée Zellweger... She would know. Apparently, the actress had an awkward, but rather hilarious, mishap while filming a kissing scene while filming her Oscar-winning biopic Judy.
Just as she and her co-star Finn Wittrock locked lips, Zellweger’s prosthetic nose broke. And it didn't stop there. The nose gone rogue proceeded to ooze glue all over Wittrock’s face.
“I did not know until this kissing scene and I look at him with horror and I realise, ‘Am I more upset that I got that on his face – and we haven’t cut so I can’t be touching his face in a way to try and get it off – or that it’s attached to my head and there’s so much more where that came from?'” a mortified Zellweger later said.
The Spongebob Movie (2004)
Alice In Wonderland (2010)
Doctor Who (2023-)
So the nickname David Ten Inch is actually about the size of his fingers and not... ;-)
Margot Robbie has also spoken of a rather awkward and painful experience she had while filming The Wolf of Wall Street. Robbie says one particular scene left her scarred. If you've seen the film, you might remember her and Leonardo DiCaprio getting hot and heavy on a bed of money.
“I got a million paper cuts on my back from all that money! It’s not as glamorous as it sounds,” she revealed. “If anyone is ever planning on having s*x on top of a pile of cash: don’t. Or maybe real money is a bit softer, but the fake money is like paper, and when I got up off the bed, I turned around to get my robe and everyone gasped. I said, ‘What is it?’ And they said, ‘You look like you’ve been whipped a million times. Your back is covered in a thousand red scratches.”
Deadpool And Wolverine (2024)
Ghostbusters (1984)
Avengers Infinity War (2018)
There seems to be no shortage of mishaps when it comes to filming steamy movie scenes, despite the actors and actresses making it look so easy.
Lizzy Caplan once revealed how one particular incident left her a lot more deflated than she anticipated. The actress says she was already nervous about undressing in front of co-star Charlie Sheen in the TV series Masters of S*x. Things seemed to be going well, until they weren't...
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Dr. Strange (2016)
There's a thing for the X-Men movie where Patrick Stewart got a comic to read. His reaction was pretty much identical
Didn't he go into a comic book store in costume and buy a Dr Strange comic at some point?
Knowing about his sense of humour I would say that such action is definably within the realm of possibility

Does it wander around saying "grains?" Thank you and good night.
Load More Replies...I'm a makeup artist but I really REALLY don't like doing zombies. If I had to I prefer "dry" zombies over "wet" zombies. This here is a dry zombie. 💀
Caplan told how they'd just completed the scene and the director yelled “Cut!”
"[Sheen] immediately walks over to a garbage can and throws up,“ Caplan said. ”My whole self-confidence plummeted to the ground and I realised that I’m a monster and anybody who touches me will immediately start vomiting and that’s just the way it’s going to be.”
What the actress didn't know at the time was that Sheen had eaten something that upset his stomach!
Teletubbies (1997-2001)
Look at them grooming kids to be gay, according to the Reverend Jerry Falwell (who certainly failed to groom the kinks out of his own kid).

Our Batman was definitely a tad flabbeier than the current.
That's the year I was born. Was not aware of color TV lol. We had a huge black & white with an album player inside the top.
I was kid that year. Color TV existed, but it was expensive. Rich people had it. We had a 19 inch black and white Zenith with a metal enclosure. The cat loved that thing (thank you, vacuum tubes!)

This is half true. They did use more of a practical suit in the first movie but they used a TON of CGI for the suit also.

AKA Jim Carrey has to spend weeks with CIA trainers to prevent PTSD from this makeup. Seriously.
sorta, they did bring in a CIA operative to teach him how to "resist t*****e" but his advice was literally "when you feel like youre gonna freak out take a break and smoke a cigarette, eat something and drink some water, then turn on the tv before you get back in the chair." i think the real thing that allowed him to keep doing it was the fact that the makeup artist was able to take the process from 8 hours to get in costume and 3 to get out, to 2.5 to get in and 1 to get out. imagine having to spend a whole work day being sewn into a yak fur spandex body suit, film for another work day, and then spend 3 hours after getting cut out of the yak hair spandex body suit. id freak the f**k out too ngl.

The actor who played Robbie Rotten on the popular kid's show "LazyTown" died after a long battle with cancer, age just 43.
Learner Panda: a shame, that. I used to really enjoy LazyTown (I have a child of the appropriate age...) Well. At least Stefán Karl Stefánsson almost certainly received good care to the end - although he was living in the US when he was dealing with cancer, moving back to Iceland for the end. He left four children.

One of my favorite behind the scenes footage was for Alien 3. They originally wanted to introduce a xenomorph that had dog-like features, so a costume was made for a whippet. The only problem was that the footage of the "alien" running around on all fours was far too silly to be scary. So the concept was nixxed.
This is what happens if you just steal from Reddit. A lot of these are obvious jokes.
X in this case, not Reddit (for once!) Even so, these made a change from the celebrity/AITA stuff, and was interesting to see "behind the scenes". Well, I thought so, anyway! Thanks Robyn.
