Whether it's a murder attempt on the set of Fitzcarraldo or 70-year-old Frank Sinatra almost starring in Die Hard, these movie facts are unbelievable.
There are so many legendary stories in Hollywood that it's hard to know what's real or not, but a lot of unbelievable movie facts that sound fake are indeed true.

Die Hard is based on a novel called Nothing Lasts Forever, and that novel is a sequel to The Detective.
