Unscripted Bloopers Hollywood Snuck Right By Us

#5. Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

New Line Cinema

We already mentioned the scene in which a flag falls off a post while Éowyn is gazing at the horizon, but this is not the only blooper that made it to the final cut of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers! Remember the fire scene where Viggo Mortensen kicks the helmet of an orc?

Well, in real life, the helmet was actually super heavy and Viggo kicked it so hard that he broke one of his toes and screamed out in pain. His reaction was 100% real, and in spite of the pain, Viggo continued with the rest of the scene. Even though he wasn’t meant to literally break his toes in the original script, director Peter Jackson decided to leave the blooper as it was, in honor of Viggo’s sacrifice!
