I was in a high school production of Romeo and Juliet, and we were using these old wood swords to rehearse the fight scenes. Well, one of them had been pretty beat up, and I went to slide my sword out of its holster and my hand slid into a huge ol' splinter that ACTUALLY was about 2-3 inches long when we measured it after we got it out. It hurt like a MOTHER to get out, I will say, and there was some blood. Of course, the worst part about it was walking across the high school commons area to get to the nurse's office wearing tights.
What they left out is that after he was injured Sean Astin came back to work the very next day and one of the production crew, who was maori, was so impressed by his guts he carved him a special walking stick. Sean loved it.
pyropulse I do not believe that you lost all your limbs and just decided to go straight back to work. That is impossible. And Sean going back to work straight away would have risked a more long term injury so some would say it was smart rather than the idiotic decision that would have been working straight away
This is such a wonderful story, amazing. Can't find any evidence for it online, but I still hope it's true. All the Maori people who worked on these films that I've seen in the DVD extras seem to be such awesome, chill, badass dudes.
Max Scardanelli he fights orcs, urakai, mountain trolls, wargs and human warriors all of which would kill you in seconds... sounds super fun and easy 😂🤦🏻♂️
I like how right after Dominic talks about his excruciating splinter, Sean comes in with this story about a shard of glass, impaling his foot, where a chopper had to carry him out to a hospital.
That would've made for such a funny video if someone just filmed themselves flying over a mountain and they just see Boromir with shades walking randomly and they start cracking up lol
To answer on behalf on someone else, I'm sorry. But i think Thorin was pointing out the contradiction between violence and love. Violence being associated with anger, hatred and frustration, where as love is associated with happiness, compassion and peace. I'm maybe a little worried this was not immediately apparent to you.
Nothing can take this sacred moment from me. At 1:48, seeing Sean Bean in full Boromir garb AND those _wonderful_ sunglasses while hearing "Well, Sean absolutely did not want to fly." What a badass.
I love how Frodo's double was just so ready to die if the situation was to go that far... Like, he knows they have a safety crew and stuff. Yet he just went "If we sink, save yourself. I've already lived long enough"
I love that when orlando is talking about Viggo's headbutts he sobs a little bit at the end of his sentence, like he's either gonna miss them or he feels completely abused by him and Viggo is terrorising everyone during the filmmaking
Well, are we talking about the director's cut of the making of or the extended edition of the making of with deleted scenes that didn't make the original making of with a full cast commentary?
Has there ever been such a charismatic cast for a film? I have so much respect for each and every one of these people. You get the sense that they were truly a family.
@@imapaine-diaz4451 my thoughts as well. must be a maori tradition. I know they gave Viggo a haka when he left and finished filming because he became really close with some of the NZ cast and crew. It was a really nice moment. And he headbutted all of them before leaving.
@@imapaine-diaz4451 very delayed comment but i thought it was just because there was a scene early on where aragorn headbutted an orc, i don't think its a maori thing
I like how basically everyone got seriously injured at some point, but nobody has any regrets about making LoTR. It shows how much love and care they have put in these movies. Nowadays actors would be like "omg it's 2 degrees warmer than yesterday, I'm not doing any filming today! My stunt double will do it for me, or we can just use green screen and CGI"
It's very rare that I laugh at any RU-vid comments unless they're under a Miley Cyrus video, but I have to agree with my friend above, that was darn funny and you Sir, have made my day. I'm screen-shotting this one.
I spent my college years watching these outtakes after I got home from parties, wishing I had been part of this crew. Seemed such a magical adventure they were all on.
Elijah Wood playing this fairly quiet and serious character and then irl being like "that's a lotta blood, man!!!" and being fascinated by the clots coming out of Sean's foot is amazing lmao.
Tom Kubelus "Shaun Mark Bean, known professionally as Sean Bean, is an English actor. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Bean made his professional debut in a theatre production of Romeo and Juliet in 1983. Retaining his Yorkshire accent..." Source Wikipedia.... Idk :')
If i was on the helicopter, I would shout to Sean Bean, climbing down below: "one does not simply walk to Mordor!". That'd fit so freaking well hahahahahaha.
That tiny splinter probably almost directly hit a nerve in Dom's foot. Trust me. That hurts like shit. Really. It's not dangerous though, unless of course the nerve gets damaged in some way.
Hands and feet have many nerves, so it is easy to feel some pain when it happens. People can laugh at the splinter story, but honestly, that would really hurt.
After one needle at my acupunctur appointment was set wrong I believe that this shit did hurt like hell. The needle was like instant really bad pain. I do not want to know how this would have felt with something bigger.
I'm glad Viggo's LOTR experience was so positive. He wasn't the first choice to play Aragorn and he was brought in after filming already begun. He actually had some reservations about taking on the role, but his son talked him into it.
