What's the most incredible prank a director has ever pulled on one of his actors on the set of a movie?
Long considered a legend, the prank that Steven Spielberg played on Harrison Ford on the set of #IndianaJones and the Temple of Doom is one of the most surprising ever!

In 2017, a video (of poor quality) finally emerged confirming that the deception in question was not an invention, but that it had actually happened.

Steven Spielberg took advantage of a visit to the set of Carrie Fisher, director Irvin Kershner (The Empire Strikes Back) and singer Barbra Streisand to play a prank on Harrison Ford.

During the filming of the scene in which Indiana Jones is tied to a rock and is whipped, Barbra Streisand takes the place of the executioner and pretends to whip Harrison Ford, as if to punish him for the bad films he starred in at the beginning of his career. He quickly realizes what is happening and decides to join in the fun, asking for even stronger lashes, as if he were enjoying sadomasochism games.

But a second surprise awaits. Then, Carrie Fisher throws herself at him, disguised as a guard with a scarf covering her face, and kisses him on the mouth, recreating the scene from Return of the Jedi in which she frees Han Solo from the carbonite.

Director Irvin Kershner then intervenes to criticize the performance.

The match was never officially broadcast, probably because it was a bit raunchy, and because Barbra Streisand – when Harrison Ford insisted that she whip him harder – shouted: “I can't do it, I feel like a fagot!”

Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers was released 26 years ago today.

ARAON: Tak ale kdyz uz tu scenu pitvame, tak mohla byt jeste mnohem zajimavejsi:

"According to a 1981 interview with the actress, she was initially keen on the idea of her character being naked because it “would have been a nice contrast” to the alien story unfolding before her character.

“You see the alien’s in its birthday suit the entire film, so I thought it was a cop out having me wear the underwear, and not stripping entirely,” Weaver said.

After receiving criticism for the strip after the movie’s release, Weaver said it never occurred to her that people might think the strip exploitative, but “having received the mail I have, I would now think twice about taking off all my clothes in a movie”.

“People have said, ‘Aw, how could you demean yourself by doing a striptease?’ And I say, ‘Are you kidding? After five days of blood and guts, and fear, and sweat and urine, do you think Ripley wouldn’t take off her clothes?’”

But for Cameron, who took over the helm of the second film in the series, Aliens, the scene simply crossed the line."

Jo a jak nekdo poznamenal, Ridley Scott je Brit:

"This isn't true by the way and the biggest giveaway is Ridley Scott would never call them "panties"

He would call them knickers."

ARAON: taky mi to uplne jakoby neprijde, dekuji, ze nejsem sam

TRAGED: Já jsem jeho knihy četl v mládí v 90s a na to, že je to jasnej nácek jsem přišel sám. Později jsem se v tom jen utvrdil.

VON_GILOTINE: Já mám určité pochybnosti o autenticitě tohoto výroku. Už jenom proto, že zaprvé film se blbě airbrushuje a pak taky proto, že je poměrně dost BTS fotek z té scény a nikde nic nekouká. Pokud je výrok autentický, Scott si nejspíš dělal legraci.

TRAGED: prodim te nesnaz se vysvetlovat a obhajpvat veci ci fenomeny jez se nachazeji hluboko za tvou maximou schopmosti abstrakce.

Heinlein byl jasnej vetsine uz kdyz vysel stranger in a strange land.

Tvavargumentace urovne mel rad zviratka nemohl byt zly clovek je zcela dokladajici ze nechapes ani na bazi ceho jsou jeho interni postoje jasne vyvoditelne.

VON_GILOTINE: Hmm, takze po reziserske by to jeste chtelo unretouched edition :-)...

TRAGED: “Autor tak vlastně zastává názor, který zároveň vyvrací. To samozřejmě ještě tenkrát vzbudilo rozpaky, nemyslete si.”

TRAGED: Hele že to z jedné knihy tak nevypadá, na tom nic nemění. Kromě toho je to celkem známej fakt.

SPIKE411: Amíci jsou máklí, ale líbí se mi ta první část. Dobře že to Verhoeven pojal po svém, protože natočil jeden z nejelpších filmů ve své kategorii. Škoda že pokračování dopadla jak dopadla.
