In the 1996 film Matilda, the scene where Miss Trunchbull throws Amanda Thripp by her hair was filmed using a specialized harness and wires hidden inside reinforced pigtails. The young actress actually swung through the air on a crane-like rig to achieve the effect, though she wore a safety suit and landed safely on padded mats.

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 young actress, Jacqueline Steiger, wore a full-body harness attached to a large crane, with the wires threaded through special prosthetic pigtails. 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

cineatomy on Instagram: "“No jelly beans” 🤣🤣🤣 The iconic pigtail scene in Matilda (1996) was created using practical effects, a mechanical rig, and a little CGI. Jacqueline Steiger (Amanda Thripp) was secured in a harness and attached to a rig for the spinning sequences, while Pam Ferris (Miss Trunchbull) mimed swinging fake pigtails. The crew had a code word, “jelly beans,” for Steiger to use if she felt dizzy during filming. #matilda #matildathemusical #cinema #cinephile #behindthescenes #f
