Villains are probably the best part of a film these days. After all, they know how to keep both the heroes and the audience on their toes! While there are some villains that win us over by their redemption arcs, others are simply just too much to handle, and Gene Hackman’s sheriff “Little Bill” Daggett in Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven (1992) is one of those who fall in the second group.

The worst part about the character was that while he was supposed to be the film’s antagonist, he never saw himself as one. According to him, his actions were for the sake of good and the betterment of the world. While this may infuriate the average viewer, this is exactly what Clint Eastwood loved about the character.

Case in point: the puny, pre-serum version of Steve Rogers fans of the then-new series saw in 2011's "Captain America: The First Avenger." According to The Wrap, the movie achieved Steve's original look via a combination of strategies, and scenes set before his transformation into the Cap we know were actually shot three times.
In one version of the scene, Chris Evans would stand in place and deliver his lines. In another, a scrawnier stand-in — "Atonement" and "Merlin" actor Leander Deeny — would perform in his place. In a third variation, the scene was reportedly filmed without any actor. This gave the effects team tons of footage to work their magic on. While productions typically shoot out of order, The Wrap...
