Who doesn't dream of being able to sit back stage on their favorite film or TV set? The opportunity would be priceless. To have that very different perspective and understanding of how the movie came together can really open your mind. The way the actors interact with one another, or how the director gets their winning shot - all awesome.
These photos will almost do that for you, taking you behind the scenes of some of the most famous movies ever made.

11. Gizmo
This prototype Gizmo costume was created during the production of Gremlins 2: The New Batch. This suit was an early test idea when the team was trying to solve the problem of having Gizmo walk. A costume was built to the proportions of a small actor, who would have portrayed the Mogwai in the costume. The idea was ultimately abandoned and the costume is never seen in the movie.

20. Filming the The Black Knight scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Knight was played by two actors. John Cleese is in the Knight’s armour until he is down to one leg. Cleese could not balance well on one leg, so the Knight is then played by a real one-legged man, a local by the name of Richard Burton, a blacksmith who lived near the film shoot (not to be confused with Richard Burton, the Welsh actor). After the Knight’s remaining leg is cut off, the quadruple-amputee that remains is again Cleese. Cleese still boasts that he had Richard Burton as his stunt double.
21. The Ewoks unmasked
Some of the actors who played Ewoks in Return of the Jedi.
22. Kurt Russell and Elvis Presley
Kurt Russell made his film debut at age 10 by kicking Elvis Presley in the shin in the movie It Happened at the World’s Fair (1963). Many years later Kurt Russell would portray Presley in the TV movie Elvis (1979) and also be the voice of Elvis in Forrest Gump (1994). He would also play an Elvis impersonator in 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001), where he gets kicked in the shin by David Kaye.
23. Humphrey Bogart and his platform shoes
Since Humphrey Bogart was shorter than Ingrid Bergman, he wore these platform shoes during the filming of Casablanca.
24. George Lucas and his dog Indiana
This is George Lucas with his dog Indiana, an Alaskan Malamute, that he owned in the 1970s. Indiana was the inspiration for the character of Chewbacca and also became the source of Indiana Jones’ name.
