Occasionally Random

The Lord of the Rings Movie Trivia: In the wide shots of Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli running after the Orcs, all three performers are running injured. Orlando Bloom had a couple of broken ribs (from a fall off a horse); Viggo Mortensen had a broken toe (from kicking the helmet in the Orcs funeral pyre scene); and Brett Beattie (Gimli’s stunt double) had a knee injury. Peter Jackson said that all three were very dedicated and continued to film the scene, often yelling “ouch” or “ow” after “cut” was called.

I would also like to add that the scream Viggo Mortensen utters when he kicks the helmet at the Orc funeral pyre is a genuine scream of pain because that was the precise moment when he broke his toe :).

He seemed to have expert knowledge of exactly the sort of noise that they make so I just sort of didn’t push the subject any further, I just said ”Well you obviously know what to do, Christopher, so I’m sure you’ll do it great” and he did.”

Christopher Lee was literally the best person to cast for Lord of the Rings or have involved in any aspect.

Mostly because he was the only one there who personally knew Tolkien.

Yet one of the many reasons I love Christopher Lee.

It must be why he worries about them more than the rest of the Fellowship, in my opinion.
