The scene with the broken bridge proved a challenge, since they couldn't use stuntmen for the dangerously long drop. This was solved by making fourteen dummies to stand in for the Thugee guards. They contained a mechanism and batteries inside them which could operate their leg and arm movements. The dummies were fastened to the bridge, with the mechanism rigged to start working as soon as they were released from the bridge ropes. This made the dummies look like they are really kicking and flailing as soon as the bridge is cut.
