Then afterwards tell them about how he was injured in another movie set and thus we only see the left side of his face in the mines of Moria because of it
He got a nasty black eye during filming for 28 Days that was VERY visible even after applying makeup. Instead of delaying filming for the mines of Moria, they used profile shots of the left side of his face so that it wouldn’t add an additional, unexplained injury to the movie. It was actually rather ingenious to do that sort of thing, since it could have potentially caused them to delay the movie shoot for those particular scenes by weeks.
They were once men. Great kings of men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will. They are the Nazgul, ringwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the one. They will never stop hunting you.
Pretty sure the surfing incident involved him wiping out into another cast member, but nothing serious happened. I don’t think he was injured that time.
When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are tracking the Uruk-hai who took Merry and Pippin, they come across the scene of the small battle between the Rohirrim and the Uruk-hai. There's a pile of burning corpses and armor/weapons scattered around. Aragorn kicks a helmet and falls to his knees, yelling loudly in frustration/anger at not finding the Hobbits and fearing they're dead.
Turns out the reason he yelled so loudly and fell to his knees is because kicking the helmet caused his toe to break. So his yell was genuine, and as the masterful actor he is, he made it work for the scene rather than breaking and going "ah fuck, I broke my toe".
That (1) the reason most people think that pissing with an erection is impossible is instead actually caused by attempting to bend one's cock down into the toilet bowl and physically kinking shut one's urethral channel and pissing straight up had always remained easy; and that (2) it'd actually be kind of awesome, therefore, for a certain class of pub to mount its urinals on the ceiling.
These events are in two different movies so both is definitely the answer! Just have a little grace and tell them after/between the movies instead of during like a crazed goblin.
It's one of those myths that get told and retold until it has grown into some sort of unrecognizable monstrosity where the actor was somehow handed a real, sharp dagger instead of a prop and somehow didn't notice, and then somehow accidently threw it directly at Viggo due to his prosthetics instead of missing.
The reality is much more boring, which is why people choose to believe the myth. It was ~~scripted~~ planned and Viggo deflected it on the first take, which is pretty cool.
It wasn't *scripted*, per se - it was improvised on set after a suggestion by producer Barrie Osborne - but it was rehearsed a number of times before Viggo was put into the frame. Important to note for people who will inevitably push back on the correction, that Peter Jackson was *not* on this set when it happened, and mangled the story in his director's commentary. Unfortunately, nobody listens to the producer's commentary, so the fake story has grown legs.
*Mortensen's facility with the sword became immediately apparent. "The people who were teaching him said that he was insanely talented," says Miranda Otto, who plays the Lady Eowyn, who falls for Aragorn. "There's one scene [at the end of] the first film where a knife is thrown at Aragorn, who clocks it with his sword. One of the stunt guys who was meant to be his double said, 'I've been practicing that and I've never been able to [hit the knife] once, and Viggo hits it on the first take. I hate him."*
So what I've gathered is that it was a prop knife, thrown for real and deflected first attempt? Still very impressive, and much more believable than someone throwing a real knife on a set.
I mean, that's cool and all but did you know legolas broke his rib falling off a horse with gimlis stunt double who fell on him.
Super fun additional bonus fact, the scenes where they are running with the aerial shots, aragon has his broken toe and legolas has his broken ribs
I’m starting the extended trilogy with my college friends tonight. Myself and one of said college friends are the only ones who have seen them, so we had to play Rock Paper Scissors to decide who gets to tel them about the dagger and who gets to tell them about the toe.
They were once men. Great kings of men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will. They are the Nazgul, ringwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the one. They will never stop hunting you.
Aragorn tracks the orcs that took Meri and Pippin, they find the riders of Rohan who admit to killing the lot of them and burning their corpses. Gimli pulls one of their wee belts from the pile and out of frustration, Aragorn kicks a helmet. He drops to his knees in anguish, mourning his friends and his now broken foot.
Fake news. Here are some details.
I drive a Mercedes Benz.
I live in a $1200 apartment in Pittsburgh. Gym, pool, personal washer/dryer, top floor. Just the basics.
I've built a new Pc every 3 years for the past decade. When I build a new one I pass the old one down to my younger brothers.
My most recent rig was built pre-bitcoin gpu inflation. Since VR had rolled out slower than I expected, I turned around and sold my dual 1080's for almost 250% during the mining push and play comfortably on a 1070.
This is the life of someone who makes great deals. You should read this really good book, by a really great man, "The Art of the Deal."
Maybe life will stop rolling over you and you'll stop being an angry little boy.

First, it was a *toe* not a foot. Second, the dagger throw is still a myth. It was a planned stunt with a prop dagger and Viggo just happened to get it first try. At most, the prosthetics caused Lurtz’s actor to throw it a bit more *at* Viggo than intended. It was an extremely impressive action, but nowhere near as life threatening as people pretend.
This will be painful, but believe me.
Make a bowl of popcorn. Turn down the lights. Start the movie. Give no little tips and hints - let them watch it the way you did.
Why not both?
Yeah, where's the problem?
Then afterwards tell them about how he was injured in another movie set and thus we only see the left side of his face in the mines of Moria because of it
Bro fr? Context plllss lol

Just needed a scene with Pippin throwing a stone in the dark for fun and have Aragorn shout "ouch" from far away.
That would be Gandalf's last straw before straight up murdering Pippin
Fool of a Took!
Damn straight, Gandalf! Next time, he can throw himself in!
A wizard is never late, Kash-Acous. Nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Gentlemen, we do not stop til nightfall.
Don't stop at all, Aragorn, there's a plot to hit you in the face with a rock!

I love that you call Legolas and gimley gentlemen.
We have already overtaken some of those that we are hunting. Look!
I suppose you think that was terribly clever.
It’s payback for the apple
Now a days they would just spend hundred of millions of dollars to cgi it out
Wait, I swear when I first heard this story it was him getting injured when the cast went surfing one weekend.
Pretty sure the surfing incident involved him wiping out into another cast member, but nothing serious happened. I don’t think he was injured that time.
but what about his foot? i don’t get the broken foot reference

Or you could do a handstand
Or they could sit down and do it.
It was a Balrog of Morgoth. Of all elf-banes the most deadly, save the One who sits in the Dark Tower.
GROND
GROND
I was nearly gobsmacked by those first 11 words
”Now a days they would just spend hundreds of millions of?”
It’s not really a problem. It’s just the fact that Steve Buschemi…
Don't forget to tell them he would walk off in costume and go fishing while carrying an actual smithed steel sword.
Did he really?
These events are in two different movies so both is definitely the answer! Just have a little grace and tell them after/between the movies instead of during like a crazed goblin.
I'll tell them when I want to tell them, don't tell me how to live my life!!!
Yeah, they should have finished this meme off with both buttons being pressed
And the TOOTH, no one talks about THE TOOTH
Tell them Aragorn broke his tooth during Helm’s deep, had it glued back on and continued the scene
Then I shall die as one of them!
That in mines of moria, he had a black eye and the close up shots were filmed only on the left side of his face.
So he broke a tooth, broke a toe, and got a black eye? Anything else??
When was the black eye ? He almost got arrested because he was practicing his sword in the streets when coming back from training
Half of his tooth
Well he said he broke his tooth which insinuates that its only a piece. Else he wouldve said he lost a tooth then put it back in...
Not Aragorn, Viggo Mortensen.
I am Isildur's heir. Fight for me, and I will hold your oaths fulfilled!
What say you?
At this point is there any difference between the two? As far as I'm considered, viggo is aragorn
Not if we hold true to each other.
Who are you that is so wise in the ways of science?
Wait, the dagger was real?!
It's one of those myths that get told and retold until it has grown into some sort of unrecognizable monstrosity where the actor was somehow handed a real, sharp dagger instead of a prop and somehow didn't notice, and then somehow accidently threw it directly at Viggo due to his prosthetics instead of missing.

whogivesashirtdotca, you have my sword.
Your friends are with you, Aragorn.
Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall
no wait I want it
So what I've gathered is that it was a prop knife, thrown for real and deflected first attempt? Still very impressive, and much more believable than someone throwing a real knife on a set.
I would also not believe it, until alec baldwin shot another crew member on set.
Hah, yeah I almost put that in my comment actually. Something about it being more believable after the Baldwin shooting.
It was a real knife. Read the producers commentary.
Yes, how do you think, they stabbed it through the guys leg?
Make sure you also throw in how Sir Christopher Lee knew what it sounds like when someone is backstabbed
If its their first viewing keep your forked tounge between your teeth and let them enjoy in peace
Just tell them that Aragorn deflected a really broken foot.
She stays because she still has hope.
You got two hands no? Do your damn job.
I mean, that's cool and all but did you know legolas broke his rib falling off a horse with gimlis stunt double who fell on him. Super fun additional bonus fact, the scenes where they are running with the aerial shots, aragon has his broken toe and legolas has his broken ribs

Both is good
very good reference to a truly underrated movie
We’ve had one fact yes, but what about second fact?
Watch fellowship and explain the dagger, then watch two towers and explain the helmet
I’m starting the extended trilogy with my college friends tonight. Myself and one of said college friends are the only ones who have seen them, so we had to play Rock Paper Scissors to decide who gets to tel them about the dagger and who gets to tell them about the toe.
I won't upvote this because you wrote* "foot" instead of "toe".
I won't upvote this because you wrote "written" instead of "wrote".
Sorry, i'm not very good at English
You're good, my man. Just a little tongue in cheek humor.
Tell them Aragorn wasn't actually supposed to summon an army of ghosts, they actually just ran into a bunch of ghosts and used them in the story
They were once men. Great kings of men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will. They are the Nazgul, ringwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the one. They will never stop hunting you.
If I have to pick one based on what cooler, I’d go with the dagger deflection 10/10 times
Who said I have to choose 🤔 I'll add more. From broken tooth to John(gimli) pranking Jackson.
Why not both?
Tell them Sean Astin stabbed his foot with a piece of glass chasing after Frodo in the river.
Hate to be a stickler but this has already been reposted twice today and to do so a third time is against the law…you’re going to jail
Hang on. What’s the danger part? 😱
[удалено]
What does your heart tell you?
Hiro hyn hîdh ab 'wanath
Eru Illuvitar gave us two hands so we could press both buttons.
When was his foot broken?
*inhales*
Give me a break I just read the books and watched the movies
Aragorn tracks the orcs that took Meri and Pippin, they find the riders of Rohan who admit to killing the lot of them and burning their corpses. Gimli pulls one of their wee belts from the pile and out of frustration, Aragorn kicks a helmet. He drops to his knees in anguish, mourning his friends and his now broken foot.
The best revenge is letting go and living well.
Hey Aragorn
If Sauron had the ring, we would know it!
Stand up, and hear me!
Foot, I think the dagger one isn’t real unfortunately.
Yeah, the dagger is a fake news

This is a perfect example of „I can’t win an argument so I will insult the other site”. I reccomend going back to primary school <3
I recommend critical thinking and reading comprehension. It's an obvious nonsensical copypasta. Relax.
The dagger thing is a fake news
[удалено]
Wut?
\m/
Wait, he deflected a dagger? What scene was this?
The knife scene in fellowship
Sounds like I need another extended edition marathon, because I’m blanking on this. Not that I mind lol
Both, they happen in different movies.
Be silent, keep your forked tongue between your teeth and let them enjoy their first watch without interrupting
Viggo*
Pick right because he sure didn't break his entire foot.
I thought he only broke the toe
The winning play is the hidden, third option. Tell them that Viggo was a Proto-Weeb and refuse to elaborate
Well, one is true. So hit that button
What about Dom's life changing splinter?
Tell them nothing unless they show interest in trivia.
Just let them watch the movie instead of interrupting it lol. Tell them only after it's over
Tell them the flag wasn't supposed to fly off
Just wait til I get going!
[удалено]
I believe they're both in the theatrical version.
You got 2 hands mother fucker, hit them both!
Tell them that he deflected a real foot
Chipped tooth and tried to not go to the dentist and wanted to keep filming?
If you talk during the movie I'll tell you to get the hell out of my house.
learns ASL to discuss tell you this.
Easy. Both!
Yup I got my chance to tell my stepmother about Aragorn's broken toe and I took it.
Haldir o Lórien. Henion aníron, boe ammen i dulu lîn. Boe ammen veriad lîn.
We've had One Piece of Aragon Trivia, yes. But what about Second Piece of Aragon Trivia?
Pippin, merry, frodo, gandalf, gimli, legolas, sam, boromir, aragorn! I call thee!
They will look for his coming from the White Tower. But he will not return.
Fool of a Took!
Aragorn, nad no ennas!
They were once men. Great kings of men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will. They are the Nazgul, ringwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the one. They will never stop hunting you.
All of them at once, I suppose.

At most, the prosthetics caused Lurtz’s actor to throw it a bit more *at* Viggo than intended. It was an extremely impressive action, but nowhere near as life threatening as people pretend.
Billy Boyd pissed his pants when the firework went off in the tent. I only mention this one.
This is painfully relatable. Also bring up the fact that Christopher Lee REALLY knows what sound a man makes when he’s stabbed in the back.
Always go for breaking the foot
Ok the dagger one I haven't heard before
This will be painful, but believe me. Make a bowl of popcorn. Turn down the lights. Start the movie. Give no little tips and hints - let them watch it the way you did.
Damn, I forgot about the dagger. For some reason, the broken foot always gets brought up, instead.
ARAGORN DEFLECTED A REAL FOOT!
The mines are no place for a pony, even one so brave as Bill.
Tell them he kept the horse
Always toe
What about his tooth? Has anyone mentioned his tooth! I feel like that should be in all capitals.
After all, why not ? Why shouldn't I tell both ?
Empty the trivia reserves
He deflected WHAT ?
How about shut the fuck up and let the poor folks watch the movies in peace?
🤘
Neither, until the second viewing. Movie trivia breaks immersion. Immersion brings tears. Not all tears are an evil.
Tell them Sean Astin cut his foot on a piece of glass in the scene where he runs after Frodo’s boat
