The actress almost drowned during the filming of the movie 'Now You See Me'. Fisher was performing a stunt in a water tank with chained hands and ankles, with the aim of freeing herself. Suddenly, however, the actress started screaming for help because she was really stuck underwater: the chain that was supposed to have locked the actress in place had actually locked her in place, but at first no one suspected she was drowning, only that she was acting very well.
Kate Winslet also almost drowned during the filming of a movie, specifically 'Titanic'. In the scene where Rose and Jack have to escape from the ship because it is filling with water, Kate's (Rose) coat got caught. Winslet said: 'I had to somehow get out of the coat to free myself. I was out of breath'.
Michael J. Fox
Michael J. Fox nearly suffocated to death during the filming of 'Back to the Future Part III'. Fox plays Marty, who in one scene is almost hanged by Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen. The actor, in order to avoid drastic consequences, was supposed to hold on to the rope, but at one point he let go and started suffocating for real. Fox said: 'I swung unconscious at the end of the rope for several seconds before Zemeckis (the director) realised that even I wasn't that good an actor'.
Jennifer Lopez almost fell off a cliff during the filming of 'Shotgun Wedding'. During one scene, the wedding dress worn by Jennifer Lopez got caught in the car that was actually supposed to drag her, risking her falling off a cliff.
Jennifer Lawrence almost suffocated on the set of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1'. During the filming of a scene, the actress was walking through a tunnel that was specially filled with smoke: however, the smoke machine produced too much, to the point that the crew could no longer see Lawrence. The actress was brought to safety by a rescue team.
