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.
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.
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 😂🤦🏻♂️
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.
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.
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.
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?
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"
@@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 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
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.
It's very rare that I laugh at any TH-cam 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.
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 :')
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"
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fun fact; In Swedish, the act of headbutting someone face-to-face is called "Dansk Skalle" (Danish Skull) - Viggo Mortensen, ofcourse, is Danish. Something to think about...
I find it equal parts hilarious and amazing that Sean Bean chose climbing a mountain everyday over riding in a helicopter.
Either that’s dedication or he’s got one terrible fear of heights! 😂
Respect for the man regardless for doing it.
It’s ptsd from dying before...
Sean Bean doesn't get to the choppa .... Arnie would be disappointed
Ned must have hated the thought of dragons flying around
@@CaptainFirespitter Oh he hates heights
Wise choice by Sean Bean not to take the helicopter. Cant be too careful with a death record like his
@Jam Lee not what he was referring to but ok

Great exercise and wonderful to challenge yourself with nature too.

Sean Astin: *Has a cut in foot*
Elijah Wood: *N O W T H A T' S A L O T O F D A M A G E*
It was true though
Xavox Susano
Lmao
He was staring at that cut like 0-0 Wow
Use FlexTape!
"Legolas, what do your elf eyes see?"
"wHiTe LiGhT, wHiTe LiGhT!!!!"
He doesn't have elf eyes there just really really REALLY long sighted
"It does seem silly in retrospect now..." Ya think, Viggo??
But I think he enjoyed it.
"Oh, nevermind, I just got my hair in my eyes..."
@@Whimsy3692 xD... That is Fantastic. Nice one there.
"Viggo, don't worry about me"
"If we flip over, save yourself"
"I can't swim"
"I'm afraid to take a bath"
Not unlike how it seems Aragorn might have been with Samwise in the books! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
viggo's laugh is everything
IM STILL WHEEZING
Literally fuckin killed me

@pyropulse Who are you trying to impress here? Go take a nap.
Never underestimate splinters, they fucking hurt.
yeah reflexology....
True. My father once removed a splinter from my finger. I was gritting my teeth and trying to not pull away my finger during the enormous pain.
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.

2:27 one does not simply fly into mordor
i love this comment made me laugh out loud
Haha
Eagles plot hole debunked!
Air Mordor
Why hasn't THAT become a meme yet?
Viggo is what Aragorn would be like if he had had an easy life
Cameron Cutler I dunno man. Fighting orcs seems pretty easy and fun to me...
Max Scardanelli fr lol
If he had a quiet life *Kira’s theme plays*
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 live for Hobbit hair
Dominic: Get's a micro splinter in his foot and acts like he got stabbed by Morgul Blade.
Sean: Literally cut's his food open, and walks it off.
Sometimes small cuts can be awful though.
don't forget Viggo breaking his toe kicking a helmet and carrying on with the scene.
@@heliopyre Seriously though,props to Aragorn for that.
Idk man, I once stabbed myself with a razor and I didnt feel a thing. Then I got a paper cut and let me tell you id rather get razored again.
Yes, I've had more pain from splinters than from bigger cuts 🤷🏼♀️
"Master Frodo can play with my clots any time he wants"

The making of is a trilogy all by itself.
It would be amazing if they did
@@MrJamesnight I wouldn't be surprised if the making of is actually longer then all the movies combined. And its worth the watch.

@@doc-holliday- yep, the extended DVDs have 6 hours of behind the scenes for EACH movie

"Save yourself...I can't swim..." hahah! That guy also played the White Witch's dwarf in Lion Witch and Wardrobe right?
Vamanos Ninja right
Oompa Loompas in the remake of willy wonka too
No that's a different dwarf actor named Deep Roy. They look and sound very similar but they are in fact two separate people
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
Oh the head-butt thing? Yeah it was so good, the dwarves started doing it!
is that actually why it was included in the hobbit or was it in the lore as well?
I like to think it was both :)
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.
Why is Elijah Wood saying “That’s a lot of blood!” The most precious thing ever
I remember seeing the bruise on orlando's forehead at borimirs death in the end of the fellowship and wondering what had happened
omfg SaMe ?!?!?!?
wow, spoiler much???
Joseph Church most people who are watching this have probably seen the film if they haven't they won't know who borimir is!
Boromir is played by Sean Bean
I think the point is that Sean Bean is a spoiler in himself, since he dies in everything.
Peter-
"Go get yourself some play dow!"
Elijah-
"I'm fascinated by this blood clot." XD
I love how friendly Viggo was with the stunt performers and body doubles

Vigo is a fantasy creature, at least in my mind. He's just the weirdest, coolest, most interesting dude I've ever seen.
Viggo: "Go there and headbutt him! It'll be fun!"
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.
One time I cut a nerve in my thumb and I still can't feel anything in that part of the thumb.
Yeah, that's almost like getting a small papercut. You wouldn't think a small cut would hurt much, but it does.
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.

"I can't swim."
"WHAT?!"
The whole part about Orlando being head butted had me laughing hard.
No one:
Boromir wearing shades
You really can't ask for a more perfect cast when it comes to lotr. Nobody was too big to steal the show and everybody was perfect in their role.
Viggo's whole sequence starting at 5:04 😂😂😂
boromir with sunglasses is my aesthetic
Billy Boyd trying not to laugh at 0:40 might just be the cutest thing ever
"Sala, go head butt Orlando."

Oh my gosh! Viggo's impression of Kiran is hilarious!!!
when elijah said "thats a lot of blood!" i immediately thought of that scene in Tangled.
I've seen Sean Bean die in so many movies and shows that I'm actually surprised when I see him alive in interviews.
Viggo’s laugh makes me internally happy
I have never laughed so hard at something then I have at viggos boat story lol
Viggo kills me. His giggles at 7:55!
Everytime I hear Sean Bean talk I start to fear for his life.
"Now every time I see him, I see the white light"
All hail head-butt King Sala
Aka Lurtz
Viggo Mortenson is an absolute mad lad when it comes to playing his part.
The back and forth talking about the splinter is perfect
