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 WoodāsĀ āoh it hurts, babes, and I canāt ride the horse, babesā and Viggo MortensenāsĀ āthey can be very fragile, elves, especially theā¦Mirkwood strainā¦ā)
Ian McKellen commenting thatĀ āthey never did find any suitable underwear for Gandalfā¦ā
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 muttersĀ āone could perhaps say something about Mr. Monaghanāsā¦proclivitiesā¦ā
Dominic Monaghanās imitation of John Rhys-Davies ordering food at a restaurant for the whole cast.Ā āYou have partridge? BRING THE PARTRIDGE!ā
John Rhys-Davies talking about an incident with the Lothlorian boats and sayingĀ āif an elf and a dwarf are in a boatā¦andā¦the boat goes underā¦let us say that the blame was not placed on the elfā while Orlando Bloom spluttersĀ āheās a big guy, man!āĀ
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 Woodās scale double) started telling himĀ āif the boat tips overā¦save yourselfā¦I canāt swim.āĀ
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,Ā āI cannot get up these goddamn steps, Peter.āĀ
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
