The infamous "pigtail hammer throw" scene from the 1996 movie Matilda, where Miss Trunchbull swings Amanda Thripp by her braids, was a blend of movie magic and physical stunt work.

The director, Danny DeVito, confirmed she loved being in the harness, and the precise, careful filming brought the incredible feat to life without CGI. | History In Pi
