*Turn CC on to see film credits*

When an accident or mistake happens on set, your first reaction might be to immediately call "cut". But great directors know when to recognize these unexpected bumps in the process as brilliant moments of kismet. Editor and filmmaker Kevin Klauber talks about some famous "accidents" in movies that made film history, and the importance of embracing the unexpected on set. In other words: just keep rolling.

What's your favorite accidental moment or scene in a film?  Have you embraced any accidents while filming your own movies and shorts? Tell us on our official forum:
