These Behind-the-Scenes Mistakes Made Their Films Better

Runaway Flag

The Lord of the Rings trilogy has reputation for storytelling and attention to detail. In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, a particular scene sets the mood with a flag torn from its pole by the wind, adding dramatic flair to Eowyn’s contemplative moment.

A gust of wind unplanned by the filmmakers seized the flag, causing it to flutter away. This unscripted moment, captured on film, unintentionally intensified the scene, aligning perfectly with the mood and narrative, showcasing the unpredictable beauty of nature during filming.
