One of the main ones involved how director Tony Kaye intended to shoot the scene. According to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/american-history-x-curb-stomp-scene-story\/\">Far Out Magazine<\/a>, they decided on crafting a dummy of actor Antonio David Lyons&#8217; head.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;[They] made a dummy of Antonio&#8217;s head so that from the wide shot you can see the thing get crunched. It didn&#8217;t look anything like the actor. It was just a bouncy head thing so you could stomp on it time and time again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s a blink if you miss it moment, one that lasts milliseconds as Norton&#8217;s character slams his boot down with a sickening crunch. What makes the horror all the more unnerving is the anxiety-laden close-up we get of Lyons just a frame before \u2014 one that sees his open mouth hovering above the concrete a split second before his life ends. &#8220;To me, the kind of nerve-jangling thing is the close-up of the teeth grazing the curb,&#8221; Kaye said of the shot and its necessity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lyons, on the other hand, had some concerns:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I was a bit sort of concerned about that. I was, like, We&#8217;re in Santa Monica. Dogs walk around and piss on this!'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It&#8217;s almost comforting that the worst thing being worried about during one of the film&#8217;s most violent scenes was sanitation \u2014 which, fair point by Lyons (I wouldn&#8217;t recommend going around biting down on the curbs anywhere in Los Angeles). So, instead they also created a faux rubber curb that the actor could put his mouth on without worry of germs, thereby creating one of the most agitating shots in modern cinema: the image of Lyon&#8217;s luminous white teeth scraping the concrete.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
