14. Fight Scene Took Four Months To Shoot
Via hotwirefoamfactory.com
At the climax of Two Towers, we see our heroes facing off against unimaginable odds. Out-numbered, out-skilled, and out-uglied by Saruman’s army, it’s up to a few hundred to defend against a few thousand. Elves and humans band together for the first time since the War of the Ring, and when things seem most dire, Gandalf arrives with a healthy addition of Rohirrim to aid in the fight. All of this takes place over one night. In fact, the fight is just a few hours long. I bet the cast and crew wish they could say the same. That 20 minute sequence took four months to shoot. One-third of a year for 20 minutes of footage!
