No Fake Punches Or Dramatic Monologues Were Used In The Making Of These Set Fights

Take the typical workplace and multiply it by a billion, and you have the chaos that is a Hollywood set. With actors' egos, petty feuds, and creative differences, it's safe to say that not all sets are created equal. Some are actually downright toxic!

From Batman Forever director Joel Schumacher calling title actor Val Kilmer psychotic to Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise getting physically violent on the set of The Outsiders, here are some of the craziest set fights.

Tootsie: Dustin Hoffman Vs. Sydney Pollack

The 1982 film Tootsie is light, playful, and full of laughing moments. Somehow, a story about a cross-dressing down-on-his-luck actor doesn't make for a playful behind-the-scenes experience, with star Dustin Hoffman and director Sydney Pollack were at each other's throats.

Their arguments were primarily over creative differences with the script. Each of them even took it upon themselves to rewrite it over a weekend! In the end, Pollack thought the film was going to be a universal failure. Boy, was she wrong!

In 1983, The Outsiders was released, showcasing some of the hot young stars of the time, including Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe. But it seems as though the movie wasn't the only time the two co-stars were fighting.

Lowe got a little carried away during one ruthless fight scene, accidentally punching Cruise a bit too hard in the face. Cruise retaliated right away, and crew members had to break the two actors up. Apparently, he didn't get the "accident" aspect!

If you've seen The Lords of Flatbush, then you might recall that Richard Gere isn't actually in the film. Well, there's a very specific reason for that, and it's because of two things: mustard and Sylvester Stallone.

ADVERTISEMENT

Tensions were high between the two actors even before the mustard incident, but everything blew up during lunch one day. Long story short, the two were eating in a car, and Gere accidentally dropped mustard on Stallone's pants. To eliminate further feuding, the director fired Gere.

Fake fighting and punching might be common in action films, but there was nothing fake about Ed Harris' jab to director James Cameron's face. While filming a particular underwater scene, Cameron didn't take the necessary precautions to ensure all of the actors and crew were safe.

ADVERTISEMENT

This resulted in Harris being underwater a bit longer than necessary while Cameron proceeded to film! Clearly, the actor wasn't too thrilled he nearly drowned on camera, so he punched the director.

Joan Crawford and Bette Davis are known for more than their classic films; they're known for their years-long feud. Apparently, going after the same parts gets people a bit angsty towards one another. So, you can only imagine the pettiness on the set of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

ADVERTISEMENT

Pretty much, they made each other's jobs harder! During a scripted fight, Davis clocked Crawford across the face. In retaliation, Crawford filled her pockets with rocks during a scene where Davis had to drag her across the floor.

There is no love lost between comedic actress Lily Tomlin and I Heart Huckabees director David O. Russell. While the two might look cordial in public, it's said to be out of professionalism rather than actual forgiveness of what happened on the film's set.

Apparently, Tomlin could do no right in the eyes of the director, getting cursed and yelled at. At one point, Russell even swept an entire stack of papers off a table! Talk about a flair for the dramatic.

Christian Bale is well-known for being a hardcore method actor, connecting with his characters in such a way that truly brings them to the silver screen. Unfortunately, for those around Bale, that means keeping quiet and not distracting him.

Well, the director of photography for Terminator Salvation, Shane Hurlbut, didn't get that tiny memo, walking around set and distracting Bale's inner-John Connor to the point of a verbal assault from the actor. Bale later commented on the incident, calling himself a punk. Still, not cool, Mr. Bale.

Apparently, Batman isn't too nice. Well, at least Val Kilmer isn't, according to the crew and director of Batman Forever. While filming, Joel Schumacher wanted nothing more than to finish the film and not deal with Kilmar abusing his crew.

ADVERTISEMENT

But there is only so much a person can take, and one day Schumacher had enough of the egotistical actor. While the two were separated before a punch could be thrown, Schumacher's still on record saying, "I didn't say Val was difficult to work with on Batman Forever, I said he was psychotic."

Up next in the "on set punching match" is actors James Franco and Tyrese Gibson. It's unclear why tensions were so high between the two, but they made it well-known on set that they didn't care for one another. Even so, they kept it professional until their little sparring match.

During their fights scene rehearsal, Franco went a little too hard, prompting Gibson to tell him to lighten up. Franco didn't take that well, and an actual fight broke out. So much for constructive criticism.

One particularly bad argument was between her and co-star Jennie Garth. Their fight got so heated that blows were actually thrown, and their castmates had to step in to break them up. Eventually, Doherty was fired for her behavior.

Funny guy Bill Murray wasn't too comedic on the set of Charlie's Angels. At least, not according to one of his co-stars, Lucy Lui. Allegedly, one of the fights between the two actors is the reason Murray was replaced with Bernie Mac in the sequel film.

The story goes that Murray stopped a scene, pointed to Liu, and said, "what in the hell are you doing here? You can't act." Lui didn't take that too well, punching Murray until crew members got her off.

For actresses Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger, they might have well been their characters Aurora Greenway and Emma Greenway in Terms of Endearment. The two fought off-camera nearly as much as their characters fought on camera!

Thankfully, their arguments never resulted in physical blows, but that's only because of Jack Nicholson, who acted as the honorary bouncer whenever MacLaine and Winger were going head-to-head. It must have been something if Nicholson was seen as a level-headed one!

In this instance, his attitude was projected towards a writer and producer. He and the writer were at odds with how his character was developing. So, in an astounding display of "I didn't get what I wanted," Gibson kicked the producer! He was then written out of the show.

For Zodiac's cast and crew, working with director David Fincher was no walk in the park. He demanded hard work, long hours, and multiple takes (sometimes up to 70) with minimal breaks, something actor Robert Downey Jr. tired of real quick.

In protest of the toxic work environment, RDJ decided a little payback was in order. So, he relieved himself in multiple mason jars and left them around set. A visual and smelly representation of what Fincher was depriving everyone of -- potty breaks.

Herzog was even offered by one of the native chiefs of the area to poison the actor! After the actor's passing, Herzog said, "Klaus was one of the greatest actors of the century, but he was also a monster and a great pestilence."

So, naturally, Carrey did the same thing, taunting and picking on the wrestler off camera. It got to the point of Carrey spitting in Lawler's face and the wrestler having to be physically restrained so he wouldn't hit the actor.
