[post_page_title]The Abyss[/post_page_title]
In science fiction movie The Abyss, the characters dive deep into breathable liquid without equipment. These scenes were really shot underwater, but of course in real life, the actors could not breathe the water.
In order to keep the scene believable, actor Ed Harris would hold his breath as he dove underwater without oxygen. When he needed air, he would signal to the crew, and a diver would come down with an oxygen tank so Harris could take a few breaths. One time, however, the diver got stuck. Another diver came down to Harris but the regulator was upside-down, and Harris ended up with a mouth full of water. The cameras kept right on rolling, capturing the whole event.
