The Mummy Returns (2001) is often mocked for its bad CGI. The poor CG was actually intended by the filmmakers as we are seeing The Scorpion King through Rick O’Connell’s eyes. Because his wife was just killed his eyes are all watery from crying or something which is why the CGI looks like shit.
In 1908, Houdini stood at the edge of the Harvard Bridge—commonly referred to as the Mass. Ave. Bridge—and was shackled by a Boston patrolman. His hands were handcuffed behind his back and chained to a collar around his neck. The Globe estimated some 20,000 spectators gathered to see Houdini’s leap.
