Jurassic park
The weird barking sound the raptors use to communicate in “Jurassic Park”, is actually the mating sound of tortoises. Another interesting fact is that it took 6 hours to render a single frame of the rain soaked T-RexSource - http://www.dorkly.com/post/60320/7-inconsequentially-cool-things-from-movies-that-took-an-age-to-film

Cannibal Holocaust
The director of the movie “Cannibal Holocaust” was arrested for murder and had to prove his innocence by calling in all his “murdered” actors. This is because the courts could not understand how an impalement scene was done and believed an actress was murdered for the sake of the movie.Source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibal_Holocaust#Snuff_film_allegations

Matrix Reloaded
There is a scene in “Matrix Reloaded” when Trinity hacks into a power station’s computer that’s actually very accurate. The scene in which Trinity hacks into the power station’s computer is realistic and exposes an SSH vulnerability. While the program Trinity uses once she’s gained access is fictitious, it shows just how much research was made into filming the Matrix movies to ensure they were believable.Source - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/05/16/matrix_sequel_has_hacker_cred/

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
In “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory”, Tim Burton had 40 squirrels trained to crack nuts rather than use CGI. Tim Burton made a lot of effort to ensure “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory” was as real as possible. Part of this meant training squirrels to crack nuts rather than use readily available computer graphics. Some of the squirrels came from rescues and private homes, while others had to be hand reared and required bottled milk on set.Source - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4702653.stm
