Some "conspiracy theorists" have argued that wires were used to make it appear that the astronuts were really walking on the moon in low gravity.
The poor quality of the films would surely make this easier to fake. In contrast the photos were of a high quality, showing how easy it would have been, if there were actually astronauts on the moon, to make high quality video...

It doesn't make much sense to me to have the astronuts wired in to simulate one-sixth gravity as preparation for a moon. It does however make sense that they needed to train for moon landing videos that were made in a studio, using a wire system to simulate low gravity.
See Alan L. Bean preparing for the upcoming Apollo 12 lunar landing movie, strapped into a one-sixth gravity simulator in Building 29 at the Manned Spacecraft Center.

Here's a video of low-gravity simulation using wires...
This really looks like slow motion, just like the Apollo moon landings videos that were sold to us as the "real thing" (will the video stay up and running for once?!?).

If somebody would have fallen down on the moon, because of vacuum, a tiny hole in those magical suits would mean instant death. Those suits would severely hamper movement.
If somebody would fall down in a wired one-sixth gravity simulator, it would look something like this...
