3. The Charge of the Light Brigade

The 1936 film The Charge of the Light Brigade starred Errol Flynn and told the real life story of the Battle of Balaclava. The battle was between Russia and the Ottoman Empire which is modern day Turkey. To shoot the battle scene they laid out trip wires to make it appear that the horses were being shot down. At least 24 horses lost their lives however, as did one stuntman. Trip wars were banned in film from there on out.
