The Shining

In the iconic door-smashing scene in The Shining, Kubrick originally had a prop door in place. 

Jack Nicholson, who had worked as a volunteer fire marshal, got through it too quickly, so it was replaced with a real door. 

Nicholson was Kubrick’s first choice for the role of Jack Torrance; other actors considered were Robert De Niro (who claims the film gave him nightmares for a month), Robin Williams and Harrison Ford, all of whom met with Stephen King’s disapproval.
