Christ, James Cameron is amazing!

I have the special edition of The Abyss, but don't recall anything about this. So are they saying that there actually is a liquid that mammals can breathe? Or just that they killed a rat for the scene? From IMDB - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096754/trivia Fluid breathing is a reality. Five rats were used for five different takes, all of whom survived and were given shots by a vet. The rat that actually appeared in the film died of natural causes a few weeks before the film opened. According to James Cameron, the scene with the rat had to be edited out of the UK movie version because "the Royal Veterinarian felt that it was painful for the rat". James Cameron repeatedly assures that the rats used for this take didn't suffer any harm. Some other great Abyss trivia:- Michael Biehn's character gets bitten on the arm by another character. This happens to him in every James Cameron movie he's in - see The Terminator (1984) and Aliens (1986). James Cameron's brother, Mike Cameron, plays a dead crewman inside the sunken submarine. To accomplish this he had to hold his breath under 15 feet of water while also allowing a crab to crawl out of his mouth. The sequence in which Catfish fires a submachine gun into the moon pool at a departing Lt. Coffey was filmed using live ammunition. The underwater camera was locked down and unmanned, and extreme safety precautions were in effect.

Mike Cameron is well up for it, he helped Jimbo develop those exterior mounted submersible cameras they used in Titanic & Ghosts of the Abyss. For an extra ten points, can anyone tell me who the only two actors to have been killed (or seriously injured at least) by an Alien, a Predator & a Terminator are? It was only one until quite recently...

Yeah I should give you guys some credit really, I bet you know the weird thing about Garfield/Ghostbusters/Bill Murray. That's just a bizare bit of trivia

Yep, Bill Murray is Venkman in the movie, he also did the voice for Garfield in the CGI movies ... now, the voice of Garfield in the cartoon, a chap called Lorenzo Music, also did the voice of Venkman in the cartoon The Real Ghostbusters (at least for part anyway, I remember when I was a kid watching it, the voice artist changed at some point ... I'd look it up, but I'm British and therefore lazy ).
