The cast of Little Miss Sunshine is reminiscing about making the film, 20 years after it hit cinemas. The indie movie follows a dysfunctional family as they travel across the country to enter their daughter into a pageant.
Speaking to People at Sundance earlier this year, Greg Kinnear, Toni Collette, Paul Dano and Abigail Breslin revealed some "dangerous" behind-the-scenes facts about making the beloved comedy/drama.
Greg Kinnear declared the film, which also starred Steve Carell and the late Alan Arkin, "the most dangerous movie ever made." The actor explained that every scene filmed in the iconic yellow van involved him actually driving.
When he was driving the van, the movie's directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris “contorted” in the car “with a headset listening.” It is uncommon for the actor to drive the vehicle; usually, these scenes are shot by towing a car or mounting it onto a platform driven by another person.

Dano added that Kinnear either drove through “a full red light,” or “close to a red light if not one. You didn’t want to give Alan the chance to get out of the van to go, and so you blew right through it.”
“I like the idea that this was the most dangerous film ever made,” joked Abigail Breslin, who was just 10 years old when she starred in Little Miss Sunshine.
In 2022, Kinnear joked about the dangers of making Little Miss Sunshine during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “You can count every Michael Bay movie ever made, this is the most dangerous film ever made,” he joked to the singer on her chat show.
“Nobody was wearing seatbelts,” the As Good As It Gets actor admitted, highlighting just how risky the production was. He added that they “didn’t have clearance on the highway” to drive with “billions of dollars of cargo,” a joke in reference to his star-studded co-stars.
