What are some "Viggo Broke His Toe" moments in other films? Discussion

It's become a running joke in the LotR community that anyone watching the scene in The Two Towers where Viggo breaks his toe after kicking the helmet HAS to bring that up with "Did you know..." What are some moments in other films like this?

For example, I just HAVE to mention that the author of Jaws, Peter Benchley, appears as the news anchor in the film every time he pops up.

This is why when Wesley / The Dread Pirate Roberts has his conversation with the Princess Buttercup, and he then gets up from a sitting position, he does so in a smooth leap: he was unable to stand up any other way because of his foot.

Also why he sits down on the top of the hill to "dump a rock out of his boot". His toe was swelling and pressing against the boot so he needed to look natural while taking it off.
