favorite bits of the cast interviews in the LOTR special features:
Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen all taking the piss out of Orlando Bloom for going on about a cracked rib too much, while Orlando Bloom desperately tries to wriggle out of talking about it (special mention to Elijah Woodโsย โoh it hurts, babes, and I canโt ride the horse, babesโ and Viggo Mortensenโsย โthey can be very fragile, elves, especially theโฆMirkwood strainโฆโ)
Ian McKellen commenting thatย โthey never did find any suitable underwear for Gandalfโฆโ
Dominic Monaghan going on and on about how Viggo Mortensen apparently had a crush on one of the Rohirrim extras (who like a lot of the Rohirrim extras was a woman in a fake beard) while Vigoo Mortensen just muttersย โone could perhaps say something about Mr. Monaghanโsโฆproclivitiesโฆโ
Dominic Monaghanโs imitation of John Rhys-Davies ordering food at a restaurant for the whole cast.ย โYou have partridge? BRING THE PARTRIDGE!โ
John Rhys-Davies talking about an incident with the Lothlorian boats and sayingย โif an elf and a dwarf are in a boatโฆandโฆthe boat goes underโฆlet us say that the blame was not placed on the elfโ while Orlando Bloom spluttersย โheโs a big guy, man!โย
Elijah Wood talking about how the hobbit actors shared a trailer with Ian McKellen and sometimes they would hear inarticulate bellows of protest from his side when they played loud music in the mornings
Viggo Mortensen talking about how, while filming with those same boats, Kirin Shaw (Elijah Woodโs scale double) started telling himย โif the boat tips overโฆsave yourselfโฆI canโt swim.โย
Elijah Wood describing how Sean Astin would try to direct the helicopters to land while they were on location, while the other three hobbits were screwing around and throwing pinecones at each other
Christopher Lee recounting how he had so much trouble going up some steps in Orthanc with his long robe that he stopped in the middle of the scene and said,ย โI cannot get up these goddamn steps, Peter.โย
Viggo Mortensen mentioning that he left a weekend rehearsal and went walking down the street still swinging his sword around, and promptly got the cops called on him
