When it came to injuries on set these guys really drew the shortest straw. They were real troopers.

Viggo breaks toes: Sympathy
Orlando breaks rib: Humor
The kicker is, broken ribs suck big Time. I’m actually impressed he kept doing everything with a broken rib
Based on what Billy Boyd said they were sympathetic…at first. Then he kept talking about it and brought on some good natured ribbing ;)
Viggo didn’t even say anything when it happened so I imagine he soldiered on without complaint.
Well, they seemed to handle it a bit differently...
@@austinboylan5476 As a person who has broken both ribs and toes (actually all the toes on one foot at the same time dropping a load bar on them), I will tell you limped around work that day but finished my shift, the rib was WAY worse and I'm not kidding.
I could adjust the way I walked way easier than the way I breathed, and it was stiull agonizing no matter HOW I adjusted my breathing. The first two weeks were horrible but it did tone done a bit after that.
well I broke 5 ribs after falling off a horse...I could barely breath for a month
“Did you know viggo broke his toe?”
The words that haunt the dreams of everyone who has watched the movie with a lotr nerd
this was actually me a couple days ago
the physical pain I feel when I watch that scene and dont tell anyone what happened
If I ever watch the movie with my parents I’m gonna tell them about that.

I wish the entire world could reset itself back to that time so we can all forget. If only you forget, you have nobody to relish in the moment with.
Viggo breaks 2 toes, screams in agony.
Peter Jackson: “That is powerfull acting!”
Well he stayed in character and used the pain into his performance is what he ment
@@tzenigalani216 what the...what are you talking about. Im almost comvinced yourea bot honestly lmao
*powerful
My thoughts exactly ahah
🤣🙄 to use your pain for your art is powerful. Not everyone would do that. And it made the scene good. You can't fake pain as if it were the real thing... That's what he meant. Lamo🤣
Orlando's version: they were all jealous, but I didn't make a big deal about it
Everyone else's: he was a whiny baby and we heard about it for the next five hundred years 😂
To be fair, 500 years are like a week for an Elf.
To be fair the wound is still healing till this day. 😂
@Coacha Cola no they don't -medic whispering to pigeon.
@@maddasher8471 ribs do heal on their own? lolwut?
@@whyitskeithd00d its a refference to a video
It's amazing how all Viggo has to do is change his hair, and suddenly he goes from looking like Aragorn, son of Arathorn, to Chad Kroeger, lead singer of Nickelback.
I can't unsee it now.
Whyyy. Why did you say this. Now I can never not see it 😭
he looks like he’s definitely wearing flip flops in this interview 😂
You was wrong for this. I can’t unsee it now😂😂
I was thinking Kurt Cobain
Turning real pain into performance, that's when you know you've got a great actor
Benjamin Larsson yeah!!
But at the same time, he really wasn’t acting
Seethi C Yes, he was. If he wasn’t he would’ve gone: ”Ouch, ouch my toes, oh they really hurt, I probably broke them.
Instead he stayed in the role until the end of that to not ruin the extra emotion he got from the real pain...
Maybe in universe, all three were in pain from all that running, but they fought the pain.
check out Jim Caveziel's interview when he talks about being beaten by the soldiers in The Passion. They did it historically accurate so there were bits of iron and bone in the whip but of course were hitting a board on his back and the actor hitting him wasn't pulling punches. The actor missed once and a thong with iron hit Caveziel on the side and he almost fainted from the pain. He said he (as a Christian) suddenly fully appreciated the torture leading to Christ's death. He didn't have a problem with being "in character" at that point!
so that cry was actual pain from breaking his foot???? what a beast
Veyronp87 nails. Breaking a foot would be way more painful
He broke two toes not nails, it clearly states it in the video.
Luke Schofield yeah, my bad
2 toes! And it hurts like a bitch to just walk never mind running! 😣
Nah it was the pain from possibly losing his Hobbit friends
You can never watch the movie without saying, “Viggo broke his toe in this scene.”
this is true
It is known.
Now that fact is a meme 😂😂
True, very true
I heard he died when he kicked it.
I love how as viggo is kneeling screaming, legolas does a praying gesture with is hand like "man, viggo is really killing the scene, i cant stay behind"
Nah

@@ok.4720 assuming everyone's jealous of your injury and constantly talking about it is so self absorbed. Hes a sooky little girl.
I can sympathize with these actors. Once I ate a giant meal at McDonald's and then had to run several blocks to catch a bus. Every stride was agonizing.
Harrison Brown I once ran a cooper test with a stone in my shoe. The pain was devastating.
A month ago I had to take out the trash while it was raining. I had just done my hair so you can imagine the hardship I had to go through to tell my dad go do it himself, and so he did.
I once had to get up from my couch to reach the TV Remote. One of the most agonizing moments of my entire life.

This whole thread is gold
All these actors whining about their petty injuries yet Sean Bean over here dying again and again for his art
I want to like this comment but I dare not change it from it's present number.
@@themarlboromandalorian it is no longer the good number
Viggo didnt whine at all, he even hid it lmao
If you want something where he's the main character and doesn't die watch all the Sharpe films they are long and set like episodes in the format of 2 hour long movies they are all gold
Sean Bean death again 😁
3:22 "My favorite part of the book."
This is the thing many directors are missing nowadays. PASSION of their project, really putting their heart and soul into a story that they themselves want to see brought to life.
Not to mention Viggo quoting the source material. Everybody did their research
Comparing Lord of the Rings to the Hobbit trilogy is night and day. Cgi orcs and greenscreen scenes can't compete with live action shots on real mountains with actual stunts and helicopter fly by filming. Its ironic that Peter Jackson directed them both and the older one will stand the test of time. He definitely earned it the first time around for sure. Some of the best movie making of all time.
@@FeedDaMachine I'm sure Peter Jackson came in after Guillermo del toro was sacked? and he had to rewrite everything while shooting?
@@aratyal That is correct, Peter Jackson didn’t originally want to do the Hobbit Movies, but they brought him on as a replacement director, and he was only given a few weeks to plan it out before he had to start making the film.
@@nickcalderon2637 oh really ? I didn't know that. That would explain some stuff 😅
Viggo Mortensen and Sean Astin should have received Oscar nominations
John Smith
What about Elijah wood? His best acting came in return of the king but his work in two towers was also amazing.
John Smith Sean Bean as well.
Just give the entire cast Oscars. They all deserve one
@@padraigmcclenaghan9074 Hence, why its almost easy to accept that none of them got it. They all did so good that giving just one of them would not reflect the others equally exquisite performances. Atleast Ian got a nomination, that man is a boss...ive never seen someone interact so realistically with a CGI character
The reason why they didn't get one is because they're too good for Oscars
My lungs are hurting, I feel like my pancreas has been split I think my spleen has been ostracized

I have to say I adore Dominic Monahan....
I read at the same time he said it lol
To be fair, breaking a rib hurts for weeks. It hurts move. It hurts to laugh. Having to be in an action movie with a broken rib must be living hell.
Love how Viggo speaks about the others as if they are actually elves, dwarves, and hobbits! He's so method he believes it lmao
I always wondered if he was a Method Actor, he just gives me the Big Vibes of it lololol
@@Peri_Sunrise He is a method actor, he completely immerses himself in any role he's taking. For reference see "Eastern Promises".
@@Peri_Sunrise watch more behind the scenes. He did all kinds of things to become totally Aragorn, including learning Elvish, taking his sword everywhere, fishing and being outdoors like a ranger--it is truly impressive.

"If you're talking about something life changing, something huge, something that really had a deep effect on all of us - not only the person that it happened to, but the crew and most of the Western hemisphere...Orlando breaking his rib was huge."

These movies were the highlight of my childhood
Someday it might be remade, but we'd be the "old dude" who'd insist these were the better ones. :)
yeah I remember clearly watching those movies as a toddler :')
while drinking milk..
I remember watching this first in 2nd grade. All I was concerned about first was all the orc-killings :)
IronRAVENxvx well, I'm concerned about their dentists
These scenes are the highlight of my old age
Orlando: I handled breaking my rib really well.
Everyone else: He was whining like a baby and was very dramatic.
I love this cast 😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine trying to run and ride with broken ribs. I imagine there was quite a bit of yelping.
The cast was just teasing him, I think. Later on Viggo did say that it was all about “sucking it up” and that that’s exactly what Orlando did.
"my spleen's been ostracized" will always make me laugh out loud
Wow they did make an amazing job. Their hard work and injuries paid off by making the best films ever.
YES!!!!!!
true, now i know the truth behind that kick-helmet scene. in fact i liked the way he vented his frustration, but then i saw this video and to see it was for real.
John Rhys-Davies injury was probably the worse out of the three then it's Viggo and Orlando Bloom.
Wesley Hsu John Rhys-Davies didn't recieve any injuries in connection to filming in Rohan unlike Viggo and Orlando, though his stunt/scale double Brett Beattie dislocated his knee. Rhys-Davies did suffer eczema from his prostetics on his face, which made it itch, his skin peeled and got a reddish hue, resulting him not being able to wear the Gimli make-up everyday (he had to take a "day-off" every three days or so, a body double would be in place of him while John read his lines off-screen). Because of this he's not willing to play a dwarf role ever again (except through voice work or possibly motion capture).
Freshy Man what did John rhys davies do?
New Zealand is like heaven on earth.

*Viggo Mortensen:* Broken toes; broken teeth; risked triggering land mines; almost drowning.
*Dominic Monaghan:* The infamous splinter.
*Sean Astin:* Huge shard of glass in foot; weight gain.
*Orlando Bloom:* Broke a rib, and a broken bow.
*Ian McKellen:* Banging his head on a beam.
*Andy Serkis:* Back strain; weight gain.
*John Rhys-Davies:* Allergic reaction to makeup.
John actually cleared this up in an interview with Nerd of the Rings: he wasn't allergic to the makeup, he wore a prosthetic on his face and the glue bonds to the skin, so every time they removed it the top layer of skin would come with it so after awhile his face would puff up and get all crusty. This is also why in nearly all of his scenes he's alone because he would do all of his takes after everyone else so that they could reduce the number of times they had to take off and reapply the prosthetic.
Weight gain?
@@zeltroidmania All that stress made him fat.
@@brbdoo He's allergic to the latex skin prosthetic, which is makeup.
You forgot Viggo almost being killed by a flying dager.
I gotta say, I'm kind of grateful for Viggo's toes, because that performance was... perfect. The series would, indeed, be lessened by a less powerful scream, and when I saw this as a boy, I think Merry and Pippin's plight impacted so much harder just because of Aragorn's heartbreak.
right? the other takes feel super weak in comparison to the broken toes one lol
I would still trade a less powerful scene against the actor not being hurt.
@@captaincrispy2184Then as much of an asshole I may sound like, you ain’t movie director material.
I'm so glad they took the effort to do the aerial shots of Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli running. The actors may have been in pain which sucks but those wide sweeping shots of them chasing the Uruk-Hai whilst the main LotR theme plays are some of the most iconic in the whole trilogy.
weird they didnt use their doubles for those, since the camera is so far away

Running with a dislocated knee, a cracked knee, and broken toes? Those guys are legit troopers.
Cracked rib
Not even that out of character either, they already had I think two big fights under them in the movies by this time.
Elijah Wood chiming in with; "oH bAbES!" Has stuck with me for years. One of the funniest bits from these interviews.
"They can be fragile... the elves. Particularly the Mirkwood strand."😂
"but also the crew and most of the western hemisphere" hahaha sassy fucker
lol he was taking a jab at the size of Orlando's fanbase
redDL89 ahhh makes sense XD
That's because he's hot and funny, and possibly the most amazing actor in the entire cast, which is saying a lot. So yes, Orlando Bloom has a huge fan base, but let's be honest. He earns it, unlike some people I can think of. (cough cough, Justin Bieber, cough cough. That incident probably increased his fan base, actually.)
2:52 Gotta love Elijah Wood being a little shit towards Orlando Bloom XD
Elijah imitating Orlando “i can’t ride the horse” makes me crack up 🤣🤣🤣
"Oh man, I broke my toes."
"I broke a rib."
"Who is ready for some running scenes?"
A general rule of thumb I've discovered watching all these behind the scenes and outtakes for movies is this:
If the actor or stuntmen hurts themselves, *_you keep it in the movie._*
That’s just something 90% of film makers do in general
It's usually the most realistic take.
@@makeitwithpam2795 and it's usually the last one they do lol
There's rumor that a stuntman died in Mad Max Road Warrior and they kept it in the movie. Not sure whether it's true tho.
Not true. Don’t worry.

+scrainbow1234 Danish humor, haha ;)

Kevin McClintock Get it right yourself, he's half danish, look it up ;)

Viggo Mortensen. Such an American name. He is Danish you idiot.
I love how while time passes you constantly find more reasons to love this movie even more
I knew about Viggo's toes, man's a beast and I wish he was in more movies. I didn't know about Orlando's ribs and the knee injury for Gimli for the running scene. Which is still one of the best scenes in cinema history. Have to give the title of biggest trooper to Viggo though. In the scene with the Uruk-ai fight that knife he blocked was actually blocked by Viggo. It was supposed to be thrown to the side, but the orc contact lenses wreaked havoc on the actor's depth perception, so he accidently threw it right at him. Same thing with the head butts, they were full force on accident because even at that distance his depth perception was shot and was unable to pull them in time. That actor must have felt so bad for just beating the shit out of Viggo by mistake, but it made such a real raw scene.
Viggo is Aragorn in real life
I’ve been listening to the cast commentary, and turns out a lot of the orc and Uruk-hai actors didn’t wanna fight viggo because he would actually go all out, even breaking teeth, including his own
@@squigglydickley1851 A true norseman! Fk yeah.
I'd take Viggo over Chuck Norris any day.
Me too, and I'm a man. :D
In fact, it was Chuck Norris's helmet
viggo is the best 🖒🖒🖒
Blanka 😁 aww his toe must hurst
Linda 82 yep XD
I bruised a rib once and just it being bruised was so painful. I could hardly laugh, cough or shout or go horseback riding without my rib cage hurting. It sucked! I could not imagine how much pain Orlando was in with a cracked rib. Ugh. Astonishing dedication from you Orlando and Viggo. You did amazing work!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
+Julia Hammett You forget staying up from bed :D. Got the same few years ago and it was unpleasant.
You forgot Britt Beatty who had a dislocated knee (if it's never happened to you, believe me, IT. FUCKING. HURTS!!!! *IT HURTS SO BAD!* )
The Real Deal Horses I've cracked ribs, it hurt, but it wasn't as base as you'd think.
"horseback riding" ;)
The Real Deal Horses ?? I am sorry but I do not want to be mean yet point out true things... I believe we humans experience pain differently because ive broken several ribs, the nose several times, and a toe on a mma training and kept training.... I have theories that if you train a lot and eat well and shit you can withstand mucb
There truly is no other movie franchise that brings such a satisfying range of emotion as LOTR does and I don't think there ever will be again. The LOTR trilogy is a lottery franchise. Lighting captured in a bottle. Striking gold. The amount of effort put in by these wonderful actors and the stunning cinematography shows scene after scene. Every crew member and shot was meticulously put together to create this work of art and I'm so thankful decades later to even have experienced it. Although I will admit now it is a bittersweet feeling as we all age. Part of me wants to go back to that point in time when we were younger, these movies/characters were still relatively new but loved, and to share that moment with the world all over again. It's the get together you never want to end.
in other words “#1 Trilly”
The should remake this, not the movies, all the actors getting together and talking about memories etc
Would watch a series about that tbh
They will... Pete Jackson said they would do one after 20 years since ROTK.
They should, maybe they should update the CGI in some areas where it's bad! Which is minimum for LotR. Unlike The Hobbit...
Josh Gad has just done one
You got your wish
I think one of the things that was done better in the Lord of the Rings than in the Hobbit was the sparing use of CGI. It seems a lot of scenes, like the scene with the Uruk body pile at the start of this video and when they were running over the mountain, could have easily been achieved with CGI, but they chose to do it in real life. In the Hobbit, I just feel that too much CGI was used. Namely the fight scenes in the first movie between the dwarves and the goblins.
Couldn't agree more
You do know they used real landscape right like in this one?
***** Aye, it's not the landscapes that threw me out of the moment though, it was mainly the computer generated goblins and fight scenes.
Quakekill I know LOTR did do a better job, but the hobbit was indeed a enjoyable kids book. Only makes sense it looked a bit cartoonish. I don't have problems with CGI used in The Hobbit trilogy I don't make the mistake of think I am supposed to be seeing everything as real life. Hell, even with all the CGI I felt immersed in it all. Maybe it is because I play alot of videogames.
Piuiii
I love how Viggo stops for a moment, and you can tell he's trying to figure out what to do for a second there, and then he just works it into the scene. That's how you spot a great actor.
Agreed. Aragorn is my favorite character from the LotR, and Viggo truly did him justice.
@@lanmandragoran6103 he surely did!!
Viggo: *screams in pain*
Peter Jackson: “this is great! He sounds like he’s in actual pain!”
That scream was honestly something else. Such a powerful moment and to know that it was all because of the injury. Sheesh man. Props to Viggo for being an absolute tank and using it to fuel his performance
Lord of the rings makes me emotional. Not just because of the story but in the movies the cinematography and work that went into everything is just breathtaking
do you remember how you felt when you first heard "Sound of The Shire" (I see it listed as "concerning hobbits" elsewhere) in the opening of fellowship of the ring. i challenge anyone to listen to that and not tear up. It makes you feel at peace. But yes you are right the films themselves are a masterpiece.
iLoveEritrea literally! I listened to it for the first time and it felt so nostalgic even though I’d never heard it before then! Absolutely breathtaking franchise!
Apparently viggo took aragorns character so seriously, he stopped bathing to practice looking more rugged and restaurants were complaining about his smell.
He also had the police called on him in New Zealand cuz he was practicing swinging a real sword around in public 🤣
@@yespls4184 i guess it paid off, since the scene where aragorn knocks a flying dagger out of the air was unfortunately thrown at the actor rather than to the side, blocked it anyway.
@@yespls4184 I love that story.

I like how Dominic is like "yeah, a tragedy for the western hemisphere when Orlando broke his ribs..."
I dont know why, but i thought that was a hilarious way to put it.
Despite the pain from breaking his toes, Viggo still stays in character, that is true acting.
His foot must be already strained by the 4 times of kicking. And finally at the last take, his toes gave in and 'crack'
Or maybe he got annoyed and kicked it too hard that time.
They said it was because they accidentally replaced the fake light helmet with a real metal one
@@jchappy1889 yeah kicking a real metal helmet with leather boots or whatever, that's not good.
Shit was hard to watch
Steel toed shoes would have been helpful
"They can be fragile--the elves--particularly the Mirkwood strain."
As Sir Ian McKellen put it these movies were “lightning in a bottle”. Absolute classics and timelessly the influential.
I've never seen a cast like this. They all have each other's back, and pushed through to do their best performance. You're talking about hundreds of actors and stunt doubles. They seem like a family.
Huge props to Viggo and Orlando.
Viggo kept on with the scene, and it ended up being their best take and was in the film!
Orlando broke a rib and is still on set the next day; that's impressive.
Wow breaks his toes
Screams like a man. and says nothing in silence
Didn't realize this got so much likes.
shinji nator "Says nothing in silence" that sentence... it's weird.

He also deflected a real knife throw.
+htf5555 And he cracked a tooth
+SpaztasticNerdette Yeah. I think so too xD
Dedication of the crew and cast certainly showed throughout the making of the film. Glad it was these people who were apart of it. I don't think the Trilogy would be what it is without them
I gotta give respect to these actors who continued the scene despite being injured.
Viggo is just The best. 😉
Best choice for Aragorn 😆
Is the finest warrior
I can't imagine anyone else playing the role. The casting in this movie is perfect
Not the Best is only the one , like one Frodo , one Gandalf one Elrond , one Sam, one Galadriel, one Tranduil, one Legolas, one Gimli, one Arwen,one Theoden, Halmir, Merry, Pipin, Eomer,Boromir, Faramir etc.
What the hell is this man's tolerance for pain?
Steve Son yep
3 helmets. The fourth breaks it.
Steve Son This /is/ the man who bumps heads to show affection....
he took on all the ring raiths, won the battle of middle earth,was fearless taking on the ghost army,this man is the universe
IT OVER 9000!
You can really see how fast technology has developed throughout this years, 20 years ago they have to fly a helicopter to capture aerial shots now they just have to control a drone from the ground.
These guys are quite literally the people they play. Tough, strong warriors.
These injuries and sacrifices were the reason why lord of the rings are on of the best movies ever. Making a great film requires sacrifice and hard work. It demands reality. Of course safety should come first. But if a character is supposed to kick a metal helmet, it should be just that and not a cgi helmet. These injuries were the result of the crew and characters pouring their soul into the project, making the best movies of all time.
CGI should only be used for something that is impossible to do with props. Like gollum, massive battle scenes or enhancing a few shots. Cities should be miniatures props enhanced by CGI. Orcs should never be CGI.
Another thing that CGI ruins is realistic movement. One thing that made gollum work so well is because Andy made him so believable. Just like Oz made yoda. And then they spent millions of dollars in the hobbit to make gollum better, with enhanced muscle coordination etc. Honestly, I can't tell the difference. The point is that if a CGI character moves like a cartoon that makes it unbelievable.
+Sigurd Torvaldsson Agree though I can see a difference on Gollum. It's just hard seeing it because he was so well made in LOTR, save for a few awkward cgi moments (like where's dragged by the fish or sinks in the lava in mount doom), he always looked good in LOTR too.
+Martin Skjøtt dont forget this was from 2003! and lotr still keep up and has better cgi than some 2016 movies this is leaving me speechless
Βασίλης Τσαβαλιάς Yup LOTR definitely have some insane cgi for it's time. It does though get a bit too obvious it cg at moments where everything on screen is animated, fx. in the aforementioned scenes with Gollum in water or drowning in lava. But these moments are relatively rare and other than those I really think Weta workshop did an amazing job on the cgi in lotr!
Sigurd Torvaldsson the hate on cgi is unwarranted. People hate on CGI because they only notice bad CGI. For example, in the Avengers, every single shot of New York in that movie is 100% cgi. All the cars, everything. Set extension is a common use for cgi in castles in fan style films and distant mountains. The days of using miniatures is over. Frankly, they don't look that good. You can tell they are scaled down version because they lack detail
+Sigurd Torvaldsson Without Tolkien there were no movies at all so the biggest reason why these films were great is all thanks to Tolkien.
Vigo Mortenson and Keanu Reeves, two of the most genuine actors I've seen when it comes to role commitment.
Except Vigo is a great actor hav
Aragorn: He can be fragile, Mirkwood strain -- Awesome burn, those fragile mirkwood elves
The running scenes WERE worth it. They are truly great and, combined with the music, make my heart swell every time.
I actually think that the three of them running while injured was a good thing. Not that I think being injured was a good thing but them running while injured was the good part, because it shows. They're trying to hide it, sure, but you see some of the pain on their face and body language and whatnot and that REALLY blends in well with the story, because as Gimli so aptly puts it "Three days and nights pursuit. No food, no rest, no sign of our quarry but what bare rock can tell!", these guys are exhausted and at their limits so having the actors physically pained in every shot really pushed this feeling through the screen.
you get the feeling this is the only reason Legolas is behind Aragorn in some places
AuroraSkyy WOF ya. But shame imagine hiw much pain they could be going through. And having to run all that way? I think they are amazing people, actors and there characters are amazing too!!! I love Legolas 🧝♂️ soooooo much😍💕
in fact, it might be because Aragorn is highly-skilled in tracking. The other ones just follow him.
Legolas' elf eyes can see farther than Aragorn, so it makes sense he would run ahead sometimes. Plus he's a supernatural elf so yeah...
If one dwarf falling on ya is enough to break a rib imagine all the cracked bones after they all fall into the chasm in "the hobbit" with the bridge and then have the big guy crash down on em.
3:04 His little half-wink eye twitch makes this 1000x times funnier to me. I love Viggo's sense of humor so much.
I love all of the actors in LotR, I wish they're able to reunite again in another movie
Viggo is such a great actor, he was really underrated. He needs more roles
A Red sun rises many people broke their bones
My spleen has been ostracized
I know it's painful, but wow that's funny
Lol
Lel
Oh look, I've been impaled.
I love how when Viggo jokes you cant tell if he's for real or not
Dom and Billy are so straightfaced but you know they're being super sarcastic. I love it. If you haven't listened to the actors commentary for FotR you might not realize it.
I fucking love this clip, just because you get too see behind the set and how all the actors react to their situations... its so great to see
"my three runners were the walking wounded" :D
Imagine being the guy who told the 3 wounded actors: "Well, it's time the shoot the running scenes boys!"
This will always be the best movie ever.(For me)
it's interesting cos you can tell when the pain from the broken toes kick in.
wait no pun intended
Man this is the most dangerous trilogy to make... Ian McKellen hits his head, Orlando Bloom hurt his ribs, and Viggo breaks his toes.
actors have died on set before
@@josephyao9024 WHAT?!
@@zaragreenleaf9849
Not in LoTR, but in the past there have been actors who have died trying to make their movies.
@@zaragreenleaf9849 Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, died while filming The Crow.
kavky Yeah tht movie is cursed.
Elijah Wood’s impression of Orlando Bloom though 😂😂
See, this is how a Great Movie is made -- by paying attention to details and hard work. Hollywood can't (or won't) do Movies like this anymore.
Sean Astin had a piece of glass go through his foot. At the end of Fellowship of the Ring when Elijah is leaving on the boat, Sean comes running down to the water and as he wades into it, a huge piece of glass pierces the bottom of his foot and comes out the top. When it happened, Sean didn't say anything, but just kinda stood there for a moment. He had to be air lifted out for medical treatment. Funny thing is, Peter Jackson had divers in the water beforehand to look for glass or anything sharp before the scene.
Yep, he sure did. Apparently, he used blind divers. Pay a little more next time, Peter, and hire some that actually have their eyes open.
Or they honestly couldn't see in that murky water. We don't know how it happened so best to not jump to any conclusions. It is sad and painful that it happened to him but we shouldn't say that about people.
More importantly Merry got a splinter
@@Last_March_of_the_Gents 😂
anyone else love Viggo's impression of a walkie-talkie? (or whatever it was)
Radio
Made me lol hahahah 😂😂
Yes, reminded me y my Dad's CB radio. 🤪
Viggo is one of those underrated actors who deserves a ton more then he gets
This trilogy is one of the most important pieces of art in my life. It has given me so much
6:27 this scene, the music... gives me chills EVERY. SINGLE. TIME....
In that scene Gimli loses one of his shoes
@@zaragreenleaf9849 holy shit, I see it
wow, just wow, injured runners, damn thay're great actors
hpotter134 SOOO TRUE. I CANT BELIEVE GOW GOOD THEY ARE!!😍😘🤣💕
That's why they get the big bucks. They are great actors, for sure, but for what they're getting paid they can have every bone in their body replaced if they have to.
I ran my 3 mile final PFT in Marine basic training with fractured ankle. It was either suck it up and deal with the pain or risk being dropped back in training until it healed. The DI's thought medical had cleared me for training but it was me that removed the soft cast.
@@jeffburnham6611 I played tennis with a broken thumb, not even knowing it was broken. Continued martial arts with another broken thumb.
It's not as bad as it sounds.
Love Viggos performance though.
That's the beauty of the old films, shots are taken in actual places unlike now we have CGs, I understand that it cuts production time and complexity of the scene but it also gives you the immersion of the scene and how the entire scene looks genuine, I remember when I was young seeing LOTR it felt like it was really taken in a different world of how impressive it looks, Rivendell, mines of moria and the wide fields of Rohan is just amazing. I feel that it was taken for granted since now we rarely see movies like this.
To much technology is destroying feelings, emotions and love 💕
This was the first movie I ever loved. It just felt like every moment was something pure and special. Revisiting it nearly twenty years later had me scared to discover that wonder was just childhood naivety. Well no need.
It really is everything I remember. God bless this crew.
6:34 - 6:38 You can see Orlando stumbling. It's painful to watch if you catch it.
He does indeed! Doesn't look that painful.
You ruined everything
darrenw1996 So I'm told
Sometimes I wonder how much of Viggo's waddle-run is from him pretending to track prints, or if it's from his broken toes...
Tasha Anne Probably the toes... he didn't let them stop filming after he broke them
Anyone else have it on their bucket list to run across the hills of New Zealand with a camera crew filming them in 360?
Make sure you have a permit or you'll go to jail. New Zealand is very strict on their filming.
eizhowa I’ll be going this December!
Been there done that, except for the camera
that run sequence is probably my favorite scene from two towers. really great scene and shows the friendship building between the 3 characters
It's reasons like this that these movies will be remembered as timeless classics for generations to enjoy! Twenty years later and this trilogy is immensely rewatchable and enjoyable to its fullest extent!
