When boring people bang on about 'health & safety', you can always thread the 1928 film Noah's Ark into the conversation. This epic Hollywood movie (a transitional talkie, i.e. sound technology became available towards the end of filming and they incorporated it where they could) culminates in a recreation of The Great Flood, with 600,000 gallons of water being pumped onto a set filled with thousands of extras. Three drowned, one had to have his legs amputated, and there were dozens of other serious injuries.
Director Michael Curtiz later avoided a repeat of this debacle by setting Casablanca in the desert.
These screenshots are taken just before the disaster, and feature pagan demagogue King Nephilim, and Jaguth, their imposing and terrifying Jacob Epstein-like idol. Don't worry, they'll both soon be underwater, and then Noah and his kids can repopulate the world with nice proper Christian people.
