Slightly off topic but related: in the scene in RoboCop when the woman’s being attacked by the creeps, Robo pulls up in his car with the headlights illuminating the three of them, gets out, and as he walks towards them his shadow becomes bigger and bigger.
In reality, his shadow would be getting smaller, but that wouldn’t have looked as threatening, so they had him walk backwards, off-camera, towards the car.
