Stranger Things has some of the most intense scenes put to screen! And that is in large part thanks to the incredible actors that bring the show to life. Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Dacre Montgomery and Sadie Sink are just a few of the amazing actors that give their all into creating their characters. This level of intensity means sometimes things get dangerous on set, both physically and mentally. There are numerous examples of our favorite actors losing their voices due to screaming too much. One actor stated they lost their voice nearly every day while shooting! There were also plenty of injuries to go around. From scrapes and bruises, contacts that burned eyes, temperatures that ranged from freezing cold to scorching hot, and nauseating stunts that made actors throw up, filming these scenes was no joke.
There was also the mental side of filming. Many of these actors were part of emotionally exhausting and mentally draining scenes. This would lead to actors crying before, during, and after shooting. Some scenes got really intense, to the point where the actors had to comfort each other when the cameras weren’t rolling. Balancing raw emotions with intense physicality was tricky at times. In one particular incident, it led to an actor putting his head through a glass window.
We are really impressed with the commitment each of these actors have towards their roles. They gave it their all every day, and the results speak for themselves. Which scene do you think was the most intense? Let us know in the comments, and thanks for stopping by at The Things!

What’s your fave Stranger Things scene? 🎬
Dustin and Suzie singing never ending story
When Dustin and Susie are singing because I like the rest of there reaction
When they find will in the upside down
the "i dump your..." scene
When hopper yells at mike and el when their making out and el slams the door
how does Millie act like it's normal to go off set to throw up, or almost pass out on set, or even scream until she cries? She really gives it her all
Yea🙂
My school has kids like that, but it's become the norm so much the custodians know how to clean it up.
She is an INSANE actress. It’s amazing 💗💪🏻
And the actor of billy
It’s an act and also it’s because she’s used to it
everyone is such good actors but dacre, millie and noah really got to show off their acting chops with such intense scenes for this show even though they had to go through some of the hardest stuff, it really payed off
✌👉 💖The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 💖✌
Sadie Sink is also an amazing actor in my opinion!! My favorite
And Sadie got to show off in S4
Who is dacre
And Noah didn’t get to show off his acting all him mike and Jonathan weren’t even in the last like three episodes
Sadie sink’s character Max has developed massively in season 4. Her acting is phenomenal!
yea
Love Sadie’s character
Don't froget fear street . A couple of Stranger things folks were in there, but in the 2nd episode (1976) that she's in, you can spot the "Max personality" immediately.
I know this is off subject but honestly I think some of the it( the clown movie) cast could of played on stranger things like Sophia lillis could of played max and jack dylan grazer could of played will
And Bill Skarsgård could’ve played Henry
I honestly HATED Billy's character but watching this makes me like him he worked really hard on this role and did amazing !
Hated as in he played it so well u hated the character or hated as in it wasn’t a good character
@@iingardinhio6173 hated as in he played it so well lol didn't like how he treated Sadie 😩😩😩
He saved them all and sacrifices his life I think that is a huge redemption arc, honestly such a good actor
I Honestly Loved His Character because His Past Had Me Him The Person He Was but Last Episode He Risked His Life because Eleven Was Telling Him About His Mom etc.
You're supposed to hate his character, that means he did good
Dacre is truly a phenomenal actor. Pity they killed off his character
he’s coming back in season 4
He’s back for at least 4 episodes in Season 4 apparently, since he’s down on the cast sheet
@@Jack-et2po he's also in the trailer
When has that stopped them?
Could he play the main villain or I mean the villain take the shape of Billy? I mean, that trailer was something...
Huge respect to all of them.
Yes!
1k like!
well they are getting paid millions so throwing up and getting a cut is nothing. fxck you. oh no it must be horrible getting a scratch on my leg, the least the duffer brothers can do is pay them millions, so frustrating. STFU
*disrespect
@@flaneuredits respect*😻
Dacre Montgomery and Millie Bobby Brown are so amazing. I'm so sad that Billy will no longer be in stranger things, maybe a flash back perhaps? Dacre did an amazing job I could feel his emotion during these scenes
yeah there was a flash back in season 4!
dang you predicted it HAHA
Called it
Why isn't he no longer in stranger things? I never really watch stranger things.
@@flutterygacha1716 His character just died, thats why
She is an actual INSANE actor, she deserves the BEST of the BEST
Ikr
b o t
All*
They all are
I see you everywhere- are you a bot
Let’s give respect to Dacre and Millie for going all out for this show, it really was a masterpiece.
And Sadie
Fr
this.
fr, you gotta respect them for what they did im the show. especially millie, she had to shave her head, she was feeling sick while filming when she closed the gate, in it was her first kiss, and im pretty sure that part where she fell into mikes arms after throwing dacre through the wall was real. I never noticed until now how much she did for the show.
Frr
Poor kids, they're still young and seeing how much they've gone through for a show. Major major respect for them, such great actors !!
Wym
Young?! Haha!!! The guy who plays Lucas is over 20 and Millie turned 18 in February! So no, they are most definitely NOT young😂
@@potatuh2 they were 10-12 when they started this show though. A lot of these scenes were from 4+ years ago
Massive checks
@@7ktwan FR!! I’ve heard each actors could earn from $100k - $500k PER EPISODES
I can’t imagine how upset Dacre was when he broke the class open with his head, and then figured out they wouldn’t even be using that clip in the show!
Would be pissed and embarrassed. I gave that much effort only to have that scene cut from the public.
It was shown tho
They showed it tho haha
@@typicalxxelz8920 I meant how he was feeling in that moment, I know it was shown on here
I would’ve quit right then and there. if I broke a glass window with my head and probably get cuts and the scene not even get used, I wouldn’t do it
It’s crazy to me that people think Millie can’t act. I know there jealous and hating but still mind blowing
Seriously. Who says that
That’s how you know someone is talented
@@jims1046 ain't nobody finna read that
@@jims1046 calm down broski no need to be swearing up a storm here
@@Lil_Fatty when I have to deal with people with problems yes I have to swear...
I'm so excited for the upcoming season. The best moment for me was Will describing to Joyce what being possessed felt like, I got so much chills from Noah's performance.
Right? I didn't even understand why I was getting so emotional listening to him while watching that scene lmaoo
I just watched season 4 ep 4, and Sadie's acting ripped a fresh hole in my heart. Her reading the letter at the grave and the running scene at the end toward the light, omg! Her genuinely desperate expression on her face... I wept. 😭
and yet she’s the under dog she gets paid the least on set!!!!
And when Sadie ripped vecnas actors "skin" off that was crazy
Dacre Montgomery truly gave it his all in this season , I feel like he deserves more credit

omg i laughed so hard and might have cried a little at reading this BUT SRSLY it really seems like steve is going to kidnap them!! hes just like “COME ON KIDS” and the kids are like ‘who is this strange man’
That amazing 😭😭😭😭😭😭 hats off to you kind sir
@@baileymaddie21 done❤️ Alexi and Billy's death was the worst
I miss Billy as a character so much. If he lived Steve and him would have been a great friendship taking care of the children.
Yess I wish they became friends
Yeah that would have been really cool to see them both be the babysitters.
billy was racist and hated max around lucas 😕
@@tyasijaaa I forgot about that :/ hopefully after such a traumatic experience, he'd unlearn his racial prejudice
@@tyasijaaa I honestly forgot about that I haven’t seen season 2 in a min. He deserved to get his a** kicked too bad Steve didn’t win that fight.
Let us clap for millie and dacre for giving their full talent in acting and make stranger things season 3 more realistic and scary.
let me clap millie
@@edgeceooffujin3074 that’s gross. shes a minor, and even if she wasn’t, don’t just go around saying that, that’s disgusting, she’s a person too.
*Clap* * Clap* * More clapping* 👏🏼
@@emilyrahmanian3119 I don’t think she’s a minor anymore but I 100% agree with you their comment is weird. 😐
What's really impressive is that knowing how some of these scenes were filmed only adds to how impressive their execution really is. The acting, the writing, the directing, the special effects, everything about this show is ridiculously good. Barely known anything like it in terms of production value.
There are countless memorable scenes in Stranger Things that have the potential to be the best. From Steve’s big moment to awkward school dances.
I literally CANNOT wait for this new season. I’m still trying to recover from the end of the last season 😭😭 but I’m ready to be hurt again lol
They gave us plenty of time to recover 😆
@@TheThings yeah a little to much 😭
@@Grigio-KenCarsonsVer. exactly 😭
Omg ikr!
Yes. I GOT SO SAD WHEN HE DIEDDD! 😟
very sad billy is gone gone. dacre is such a dedicated actor and i feel getting rid of someone w so much passion is such a waste. also sad they didn’t use the breaking the glass scene?? like?? why wouldn’t they keep that lmao
Alternate title: 10 scenes where Millie and Dacre put in 200%
Dacre Montgomery and Millie Bobby Brown seriously apply themselves to their roles.
I completely agree
Dacre*
Knowing those facts from the sauna scenes and then rewatching those in the series gives it even more intensity when knowing what happened while they filmed it. Millie and Dacre are absolutely phenomenal actors!
Dacre Montgomery Deserves more credit, it’s not easy playing the villain, especially if it’s not the way you act irl.
Just to add to the Max and Lucas kiss scene, it was actually Millie's idea to add it in last minute. She said her and Sadie were having a sleepover and Sadie got worked up about having her first kiss on camera but Millie talked her through
Very sad that Dacre won’t be appearing in the next season as he is probably the most dedicated actor
He will be back
I think he will 😉
@@Hollyissocool he died..
@@colleenwest2733 nop..
@@Matsfosser how? you literally saw him die and in the trailer they go to his grave
Everyone in stranger things are amazing actors but Noah, Millie and Dacre showed the most emotion, and went through tough things just to film scenes. I think they are true actors
It’s insane that Millie screams till she cries, literally goes until she throws up, and more just to TRULY make the scene the best it can be.
i feel so sad that the show is ending but I'm kinda glad that the actors are finally going to have a break
They still are doing a s5
@@silversin_66 They are also doing season 5, it will be the last one.
@@silversin_66 if you know you wouldnt be correcting them they arent talking about volume 2
no way i love the scene where she falls into his arms. sad it wasn’t really the character and that she was exhausted to the point of tears
It sounds like the set is only bad when it comes to emotional scenes, and that is only because the actors give it every thing they have. This truly is an amazing crew
Ngl, Dacre's acting on the sauna scene while he was almost crying made me emotional. Kudos to him. And also Dacre, Millie and Noah really did an amazing job.
Millie went through so much damn. Glad she's ok in the end.
they really should’ve let the part where billy hits his head on the window. would’ve been so amazing
Fr it would've made the scene look more believable
Nice catch Finn! What a hero! And he kept the scene going.😎
millie is just WOW she amaze me and i hate that people hated her for her acting i know theyre just jealous but i still feel bad for her
These scenes are so intense I can't imagine how taxing trying to get emotions right I just got a new found appreciation for actors like its more then executing the scene but its even being a daredevil and getting your body and mind prepared
Noah is such a good actor. I love him so much and he rlly deserves the world
Billy and El are such great actors A+ all of them are good actors but those 2 are the most dedicated ive never seen someone try so hard to film a scene
I'm 27 and I'm obsessed!!! Currently rewatching all the seasons for the 3rd time , and watching every video on KZhead about it went to target yesterday and spent $150 on the stranger things collection, can't get enough of this show
I still can’t believe that “Hawkins Middle School” is the school I went to for GED prep in the early 2000’s lol. So excited to know that ST was filmed all over Metro Atlanta. We really are the Hollywood of the South.
I know! I live in Atlanta as well… I was so amazed when I figured out it was filmed here!
These kids are so dedicated to their craft--I keep reminding myself they were only teenagers during filming! The cast really gives their all for this show, and it's what makes Stranger Things so special.
Do not be scared to say "I love you" to yourself. Stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself and say to yourself as loudly as you can "I love you. I respect you for what you have faced in life. And I love you for what you have become.
WTF does this got to do with this video?!?
@@jlpdotcom frr lmaoo-
@@Alpaska I know, right?!?
Lmao fr but I appreciate it
Im glad you are trying to bring back the hype for stranger things, because now that it was canceled and continued so many times, it has been so long that a lot of people just forgot about the show, and now season 4 is coming out and not many people are that excited. I loved the show, it was awesome, but, it isn't what it used to be.
All of this just really goes to show how dedicated and how determined they are to their roles and as actors
I love this cast! They are amazing and they put soo much care into their rolls. I wish they continue to make more seasons. Please don’t stop! 💓
7:42, it’s funny how it said “number eleven, elevens pool.”
I can't imagine all the time and research you guys do for all the videos
This makes me love Stranger Things even more…They gave it they all with the Acting👏🏾🙏🏾 Major Respect to all of Them!
I’ve got massive respect for all of those actors, they are amazing actors and every season they just kept getting better
The dedicaiton and talent in this cast is absolutely incredible.
Ugh I can't have enough reasons to love this show
Best show ever
I find it incredible that even though these actors are a bit or some even way older than their role and they still look and feel the age their meant to be in the show.
Just finished v1 this gives me respect to the actors, can’t wait for July 1st!
Great actors I love the movie and cast everyone in stranger things. This movie gives me goosebumps and excitement. Actors truly dedicate towards their role. Done watching 1-4 vol 1 waiting vol2 s4 looking forward for ST: S5
So much respect to all the actors that’s very intense damn
All these actors need to get a lot of respect for this
Millie takes her role really serious
Millie and Dacre are so determined and amazing at their job. No one does it like them
The final scene of season 3 actually made me cry 😢
I like that the sauna scene took up most of the list
Millie is really something else Such a great actress
This is so cool to know how intense everything is when filming. They put in so much hard work!
MBB is such a talented actor with a few script words and lot of emotional expression she just naild this series 😍😍😍😃😃😃🥰🥰🥰😘😘
david’s relationship with all the kids is adorable to me for some reason. he’s like an uncle
I'm so glad that even tho it's just a show, even out of the shootings and casting they are all good friends. As well in the actual show they all stayed in touch since season 1 all the way till now.
damn I never knew how much it truly took to film something this intense
I literally am so impatient for season 4 to come out! I am counting down till it comes out!
Season 3 was definitely the most hard for the actors and was a roller coaster of emotions
I loved this video millie and all of them are troopers the fact millie had to scream a lot and even more was crazy but she is an amazing dedicated actor love her
I love how you did season 4............I LOVE IT
I feel like every scene they film is difficult the cinematography is amazing the actors are so amazing
I didn't realize how much hard work they put into this until watching the video I remember I was so excited for season three that I didn't finish season 2
I might have covid 19 but I love your videos and can you do theory's about 11 reviving Max?
When Dacre head-butted the glass he wasn't hurt but I have heard that he did get a concussion
Wait, what???!!
@@asdfghjklgp7921 yep
billy and eleven are the most strongest actors there, im so proud of them truly great actors same to all of the actors in stranger things.
Respect for all of actors ❤❤❤
Darce is truly amazing for putting so much effort into these scenes even though his character was cut
OMG I couldn't believe that #3 was raw emotion and not staged! Millie Boby Brown did a WONDERFUL job during this scene!
Alternate title: “15 times either Millie Bobby Brown or Darce Montgomery had genuine side effects from intense scenes”
AND THEY DESERVE THE WHOLE VIDEO
“Doring the scene” 😂 Love the video keep it up
they’re so young and talented 😭 it’s amazing
Billy is such a great actor, i feel extremely sad that he’s not gonna be in the next season. He was just incredible, too bad he died in the movie, he was great. And so was mille, such a natural actor.
I have so much respect for them
2:27 aww nd man, the Billy scenes were so insane. Billy and eleven's confrontations were my fav scenes from s3 as well
It's the best show in history can't wait for season four
Lets not even mention that Dacre montegomery is very sensitive to down lighting and so the ending starcourt mall scene must have been so hard for him with the flickering lights
i love all theses characters whey all go for it that what makes them amazing.
I love every single character. Such talent and badassness and beauty ❤
The farewell part is very heartbreaking 🥺
All of them are actually such amazing freaking actors
These people are amazing and committed!! I really look up to them^^
I love their dedication
Omg im crying like season 4 came out nd i was so excited than i realised its the last season...😭😭😭
Bruh season 4 came out , what are you saying ?
It’s not the last season
@@brookebeckman312 yeah season 4 is the last season
I somehow knew she hadn't read the speech earlier. Her emotions were actually natural
I'm crying and I feel so touched
ya it is an bad thing you know but it was worth it coze the dedication and all theyve put into their acting paid off its the one of the best series ive ever watched come on
