Legend has it that the cast were not aware that this was going to happen, so their shocked responses are genuine.
Great movie 'moments'

Plus a few other interesting bits of trivia.
Even by Scorsese's standards this scene is head and shoulders above others in use of music related to the storytelling

You might not be a fan of CGI but you have to admit this is pretty amazing stuff. The "bear" was a guy in a blue suit suitably padded and the bear images added afterwards:

The other great scene is when the lorry rolls back down the sanddune after they've spent hours cranking it up one foot at the time using the starting handle

TGTBATU is one of the few films that I can watch over and over. I have watched that scene at least 20 times and it STILL gets my pulse rate up!
Incidentally, it is a fine example of why films should be watched in their original aspect ratio. Even on a widescreen TV it needs to be 'letterboxed'. I once started to watch the film 'panned and scanned' on an old 4:3 TV and had to stop - it completely destroyed the continuity and spectacle of the scenes.

Agree, I was just going to post that one. Quite a few fabulous scenes in it, but the final scene is great, as is the music. This was about the only film soundtrack I ever bought

Great music from Morricone. Spawned a few interesting covers too from full orchestral to The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain:
