During filming of The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999), it took camera people three times to shoot Emily's character Rachel using her telekinetic powers to shatter glass. The first time, Emily flinched, and the second time she showed her teeth. The third time, they were able to finish the scene as they wanted it with her showing no reaction in her face. Real glass shattered by the blowers used for Dante's Peak was used for this scene, and Emily received cuts on her skin after the shooting.
