The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots
Historical documentation tells us the headsman took three whacks to remove her head and even then, sinew could be seen being dragged by the head as it rolled around the floor.

First Ever Movie Special Effect!
This very short film depicts the first ever "stop trick" special effect. This is the effect Georges Melies would later discover a year later in Paris when his camera jammed up which later spawned numerous special effects techniques.
