In the Exorcist, the mother's scream of pain when she is backhanded into the wall by Regan is real. The director got the fx crew to crank the power of the harness up such that the actress cracked her (I think) pelvis. They zoomed in and got the reaction shot before calling cut.
In Terminator 2 Robert Patrick got carried away in one of the fight scenes and actually clobbered Arnie with a 2x4. He said how from then on Arnie was slamming him into the walls with serious force. After they had finished filming it Arnie walked over and told him "don't ever do that again".
In The Shining Kubrick got Jack to look so insane by insisting on hundreds of retakes of scenes, even ones where Jack just walked around a corner.
When John Marley (Jack Wolz) screams in horror when he finds the horses head in his bed in “The Godfather”, he isn’isn't acting – he is really screaming – no-one had told him it was going to be a real horses head (they got it from a dog food factory apparently)
In The Exorcist, there's the scene where the priest is listening to a tape of Regan's tortured screams when the phone rings and he looks up with compete shock. Well the way director William Freidkin managed to get such a convincing reaction out of the actor was by firing a gun next to his head.
And I always found that horse's head scene completely laughable, because it looked about as convincing as Dobbin from Rentaghost.
In Terminator 2, when you see Sarah Connor removing the chip from inside the Terminator's head, the reflection you see from the mirror they're sitting in front of isn't a reflection at all. It's actually clear glass, with the real Arnie sitting with Linda Hamilton's identical twin sister on the other side.
