Nothing like laying around with killer sharks for a fresh photo op? Jaws was definitely a classic by definition.

It almost looks like director Joe Dante is negotiating with the werewolf from his movie The Howling back in 1981.

Here’s a bird’s eye view of the set from Big Trouble In Little China back in 1986.

Bruce Lee looks like he already knows how he’s going to kick ass as soon as the camera starts rolling in his movie Enter The Dragon. Fun fact: one of the extras from this movie challenged Bruce to a real fight to see if he really was that good. Lee won the fight and sent the extra back to work promptly after that!

James Caan having a smoke on the set of The Godfather. Caan, Al Pacino and Diane Keaton were all paid $35,000 for their work on the movie.

Jean Reno decided to play his role as “Leon” in the movie The Professional as if he were “mentally slow” (in his own words). He wanted to avoid the audience thinking that his adult character would somehow take advantage of a vulnerable little girl (Natalie Portman who was 11 at the time).

Who’s this “Joker” hanging upside down like a bat?
