Army of Darkness was shot in a quarry. That car the hero arrived in, was custom smashed, and placed in the quarry, by a medium sized crane.
The crane operator over-reached, while turned sideways on the only road in.
The crane toppled into the quarry, and the operator slid down the cliff face. He was not injured badly, but all filming had to stop, due to a crane in the shot!
It was cool as hell to watch, when about an hour later, two cranes arrived, and the big crane dropped the small crane into the pit. The two cranes worked together to right the medium sized crane, which was still upside down on the slope. Then the big crane, raised both cranes out, medium, then small.
It looked like they didn't waste a motion.
