In the film Alien: Resurrection (1997) Sigourney Weaver managed to sink the basketball into the hoop backwards on the first take. It was by pure luck, and not intended. The shot was almost ruined because Ron Perlman broke character because he was so amazed.

Quotes from Sigourney Weaver's Characters

View All
    1. Ellen Ripley: Show me everything.
    From Aliens. Submitted by Donna S (52 days ago)
    1. Ellen Ripley: Final report, the commercial star-ship Nostromo. Third officer reporting. The other members of the crew?Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas?are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier within six weeks. With a little luck the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.
    From Alien. Submitted by Keanu V (5 months ago)
