It was still prop knife with everything blunted not sharp one. Still would have hurt definetly if he would have hit Viggo especially if it would have went straight to his face. The actor actually did it by mistake it was the knife he was meant to throw, but because he couldnt see very well because of the prosthetics he accidently threw it at Viggo when he was meant to throw it way past him, and they likely would have just used camera angles, and such to make it look like its aimed straight at him

"Move forward with the intention you are going to kill." This is what so many fight scenes these days lack, intent (or at least the appearance of). It's painfully obvious that a stunt man isn't trying to hit the actor while also allowing themselves to be hit. It makes both the hero and the villains look silly and incompetent, and the villains never come across as a real threat taking away any sense of tension.

Viggo is awesome and it was clearly a blessing and a blast to be a part of one of, if not THE greatest film shoot in history.

Real commitment back then. Better times.

The scene at the end of Part 1, where Aragorn cuts off an Uruk sergeant's arm and stabs him with his sword - and the Uruk just proceeds to pull himself onto the sword with a grimace saying "this is nothing to me, bitch, fuck you", is in my top 3 favorite movie villain scenes of all time. All these years I always thought there is something special about the orcs/Uruks in the classic lotr films, about how fucking mean they look, unlike any other "villain army" in any other movie. I'm happy to learn I wasn't wrong and especially why it was that way

They were immediate rental priority for my family as they were coming out. I got super hyped seeing trailers, so my folks rented fellowship as soon as it came to the rental store we used, and then we all wound up loving it. After that, it was just understood that we were doing the same with two towers and return of the king when they got released. Once they were all out my folks got me the who trilogy on dvd. We watched them alot, especially my dad and I, then later my brother, who's a huge Tolkien head to this day.

This explains the actual feeling of fear and anticipating threat we all got at the theatre when Uruks first appeared on screen. Their emotions were palpable on screen... Green screen can't possibly recreate the same feeling. I only wish the studios would use it less and base their work on actual props and actors again.

They actually gave all the actors real blades and just had them duke it out on camera😂

Saruman: You will taste men flesh! Uruk Hai: No need for that, Richard already briefed us.

"Richard Taylor: today we won't serve Lunch because Viggo made the cook quit, but we'll do the scene nonetheless!".

When will Viggo come to his senses andd realize he's madly in love with me? Poor Viggo.
