Matthew Fox

Terry O’Quinn stabbed Matthew Fox with a real knife rather than a retractable one while shooting a scene for an episode of Lost. In the prep session for the scene, it was decided the collapsible knife looked too fake, and that they would film the stabbing up to the penetration moment with an actual dull knife before swapping. Initially they couldn’t find a protective vest that looked real, and it took a stunt coordinator’s insistence to get them to let Fox wear one, as even collapsible knives hurt. Unfortunately, the knives ended up being swapped, and O’Quinn stabbed his costar with the real one, which was only stopped by the protective vest that he almost didn’t wear.

Gerard Butler came close to losing his life while filming the surfing drama Chasing Mavericks in 2011 and even shared footage of the incident on Good Morning America. The footage clearly showed him paddling on his board about to catch a wave before he “wiped out.” A huge wave could be seen crashing over Butler’s head, leaving him trapped beneath the water for almost a minute.

Jason Statham almost died during the filming of The Expendables 3. The brakes went out in a truck he was driving, and he was propelled into the ocean. Somehow, Statham managed to free himself from the vehicle and swim to safety. They don’t call him a badass for nothing, after all.

Isla Fisher may have played a magician in Now You See Me, but clearly the magic wasn’t there when she almost drowned on the set. The actress revealed during an interview that she was stuck underwater for nearly three minutes while filming a magic-trick scene for the movie. Fortunately, Fisher managed to escape thanks to a quick-release switch and a stuntman standing nearby.

During a practice round for Rocky IV, Sylvester Stallone told Dolph Lundgren to really go at it the way normal boxers do for fifteen seconds. He ended up with a swollen pericardia sac around his heart and had to be rushed to the hospital by plane, where he was put in intensive care for eight days.
