Like most people, you were probably extremely impressed with and mind-fucked confused by Inception.

But would you believe that there were no special effects used for the film's stomach-turning hallway fight scene?

We show you how a team of over 500 people made the incredible shot happen, from building an actual rotating hallway to adapting cameras to capture it.

The scene is only one paragraph in the script, and 30 seconds of screen time in the movie, but took over three weeks to film.
