Knee Pads
When filming his scenes, actor Keith Stanfield, who played protestor and civil rights activist Jimmie Lee Jackson (who was shot and killed by a state trooper), denied the padding he was offered by crew members. Stanfield wanted the scene to be real but revealed that not having the pads was a mistake. He woke up the next day swollen and bruised.
