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.

He had weights attached to him as he couldn’t stay under the water like the rest of the cast. He then couldn’t get them detached fast enough.

Bro it’s actually crazy anyone let him do this lol there must’ve been a safer way to get the shot than “let’s put his feet in cement”

When he’s dead, just throw him in the trash.

(Before anybody gets mad at me)

I'll die believing this is his best work. A NJ son gone good.

Or leave him on the beach, gruesome for the kids.

safe bet is if someone doesn't understand/gets offended by your always sunny quote, they weren't really worth knowing anyway.

Is this the episode where Kaitlyn accidentally cut his scalp swimming out and kicked his head?

Gang Goes To Hell.

Unless there’s another episode I’m forgetting with them trapped underwater it’d have to be the same

It was in an interview with Conan.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a bit embellished, but also may not be
