Troy's (2004) centerpiece is the inevitable duel between Achilles and Hector, Troy's greatest warrior. Brad Pitt and Eric Bana performed the meticulously choreographed fight themselves without using any stunt doubles, rehearsing for months until every move became instinctive before filming. In a 2004 interview, Pitt said about the accidental hits: "We made a deal with each other that we're just going to go for it. We decided that we would pay off for slight infractions 50 bucks and for major hits, if one of us clobbered the other, it would be 100 bucks." Bana later showed a faint scar on the right side of his nose. "I've got a little Brad Pitt scar here," he said. "It's called a full-fledged backhand fist to the face. Luckily for us it was probably about 85 percent through that fight sequence because it does dull your confidence." Asked how much he owed Bana after the six-day shoot, Pitt replied: "750."

Sam Neill about slapping Isabelle Adjani in ‘Possession’: ‘The Most Distressing Thing’ I’ve Ever Done’ “I said: ‘Look, Andrzej, I have to say no. I can’t do that. You can’t ask me to do that. I have never raised a hand to another human being and I have to say no. Please don’t ask me to. I’m not going to do it,'” Neill said. “Then Adjani came up to me. She said, ‘Sam, you have to do this. You must.’ I said, ‘Please, Isabelle, do not ask me.’ She said, ‘You must do it.’ So I had to do it. I have to say it was the most distressing thing I’ve ever had to do on film.”

The Wrecking Crew, Sharon Tate's one of her last films, was regarded by her biographer Greg King as probably the finest performance of her brief acting career. Contemporary critics frequently singled out her comedic turn as one of the film's highlights, unlike reviews of her earlier work, which largely emphasized her physical appearance. The film also marked the Hollywood debut of two future action stars: Bruce Lee, who served as an action choreographer, and Chuck Norris, who made his screen debut in a small role. Bruce Lee remarked that he "tried to teach Dean Martin how to kick but he was too lazy and too clumsy" and that they had to mostly rely on stand-in Mike Stone.
