 During the scene in which a tank ploughs through a German town, a  stuntwoman was given directions to move out of the way of the tank  as it was coming towards her. She failed to do so, and had to be  pulled out of the road at the last minute (the footage of the  incident was included in the final cut). Director  Gregor Jordan (qv) described the moment as terrifying, as he was  convinced that she had actually been run over and killed.
