While filming The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), Viggo Mortensen broke two toes kicking a helmet. His subsequent scream and fall made the final cut. Mortensen wasn't the only one to suffer injuries while filming the trilogy. Sean Astin injured his foot after stepping on a shard of glass, and Orlando Bloom cracked a rib after falling from his horse.
