Drag Me to Hell Stunt Switch

Alison Lohman is a good actress, but like all good actresses, she also has a double for scenes that are too physical or demanding in terms of action and body punishment. In her movie Drag Me to Hell, she has a scene (movie still at the bottom) where a witch pulls her out of her car by the legs through the door.

The scene is a quick one, and viewers aren't able to tell if it is indeed Lohman or a stunt woman who got dragged. But if you slow down the scene and freeze one frame, you'd see that it's not Lohman doing the stunt but some other girl. It's obvious even with the face contorted on purpose (still warranted in the scene, of course) to avoid recognition. It's definitely a stunt woman who has a much longer face than Alison's.

Delayed Reflection in Twilight Flight Sequence and Crumpling Car Door Effect

Twilight is a "horror" romance, thriller about a teenage girl who falls for a teenage boy who apparently lives forever, eats fresh deer for lunch, and has powers like flight. The teaser doesn't really tell us much about the story, except that maybe the boy is a vampire, or something similar (because he can go without harm under daylight). But, of course fans of the book series already know about the characters and the situation they are in.

In one sequence, where the girl, Bella Swan (played by Kristen Stewart) already knows that the boy Edward Cullen (played by Robert Pattinson) is different, they go on a flight. But notice how their reflection on the glass of the door in the third still (bottom) comes in only after they are already way out the doorway? That shouldn't have been the case. But, then again, if you check how reflections are seen in a mirror, it just might be correct and this isn't a special effects mistake.


But here's another scene where our vampire boy stops a vehicle from slamming into his girlfriend. Notice how the surface of the door of the car isn't smooth - suggesting that it's made of some easy-to-crumple material instead of the usual metal. Just a little push on it and it would give like a beer can. It's a "mechanical" sfx.

Twilight is based on the novel saga by Stephanie Meyer.

In the Twilight movie, vampire Edward Cullen says he's been seventeen a while. His action figure is also made to look like seventeen, but it's sure to be a collectors' item for many more years. Order Edward Cullen now!
