Catherine Hardwicke used an actual mechanical apple-bouncing device to capture the ridiculous shot of Edward Cullen casually kicking a dropped apple back into Bella Swan's hands in the first Twilight movie. The production team realized that Robert Pattinson lacked the necessary hacky-sack skills to perform the stunt naturally, so they wasted valuable filming hours engineering a string-based fruit contraption just to make a shiny vampire look slightly cooler in a high school cafeteria.
