Al Pacino was almost fired by studio executives while filming "The Godfather." The actor felt "relief" after severely twisting his ankle on set.
For one scene, Pacino had to run and jump onto a moving car.
"I had no stand-in. I had no stuntman. I had to do it myself," Pacino wrote in his memoir "Sonny Boy," via The Guardian. "I jumped, and I missed the car. Now I was lying in a gutter on White Plains Road in the Bronx, flat on my back and looking up at the sky. I had twisted my ankle so badly that I couldn’t move.
