And that’s not the only LOTR injury. In this scene from The Two Towers, Viggo Mortensen kicks a helmet so hard he actually ended up breaking two toes. So, looks like he wasn’t doing much acting here: pic.twitter.com/ut5wQPS7Aw

David Fincher then decided to film his movie with Brad Pitt’s serious injury. In the movie, Pitt’s character, Detective David Mills is seen chasing the baddie through buildings and the rainy streets but soon falls off a fire escape and hits the ground.
From that point on in the movie, Pitt is shown with an injured arm with a cast. The Oscar-winning star got injured in real life after his arm went through the windshield of a car during the chase. He even got a surgery done on his arm.
David Fincher had to continue the shoot to make sure the production did not shut down and therefore, he made the injury a part of Brad Pitt’s character. Since the movie was not shot in a sequential order, Fincher even had to make efforts to hide Brad Pitt’s injury on many occasions.
Actors like Tom Cruise and Viggo Mortensen also made headlines earlier for getting severely injured on the movie sets.
