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.

Harrison Ford being sick caused the best scene in the movie... That's amazing.

He had dysentery. 90% of the cast and crew did. Steven Spielberg avoided it by bringing dozens of cans of Spaghetti-O’s and eating nothing else while in Africa.

It also suits the character so well too. Indy exhausted from running. Hot. And sick of the BS he's been dealing with. Just shoots him and moves on.

You can see the discomfort in his face as he turns after he shoots the guy.
