In Florida, we build houses on that sort of grade-A prime real estate!

I have a picture of a grenade i found out where this was filmed...

So they literally were fighting for their lives. A retake would increases the probability of a bomb, rocket, mine exploding.

anybody else think of the landmine scene near the beginning of tropic thunder?
MisterOp
The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit behind the scenes are hours and hours and hours of fun. They can be even better than the movies.
Turdmastergeneral
I second that. Also watching LOTR with the cast commentary on is very worthwhile. A wealth of humour and fun anecdotes.
originalWFHhipster
Oh whatever, cool story bro. Actors are carefully protected to an insane degree.

Its in a place called Tekapo. I've worked there a few times.

I love how very NZ this is. We're so blase about everything. Unless you're killing our native animals; we're not very calm about that.

Wait why the hell does New Zealand even need an army or an air force? Who would want to hurt them?
TheBritfag
The things that come from Australia.
JesusMacGyver
I'm 99% certain that the NZ air force has no bomb dropping capability, though allied nations may have used the range for dropping bombs.
SpecialContainmentProcedures
It's more of the Alliance contribution thing. They fight alongside Australia, who fights alongside Canada, who fights alongside Britain...

Sorry about that.

That would be the Canadian allies.

It's good, but the best part is Theoden's speech to the Rohirrim at Pelennor Fields. Goosebumps, man.

You'd love being in the US military then. We have whole bases that are basically giant impact areas. 29 palms has UXO just laying all over

Worked out well enough

Pretty sure this is all exaggeration. Ever since twilight zone movie, insurance companies will not let directors take high risks shots.
Farmerben12
What happened during the twilight zone movie?

a stunt pilot couldn't perform well enough, and some actors completely lost their heads about it.

Did they try looking outside of New Zealand? They wouldn't even have had to go that far, the Australian outback is just a few miles north
jbcars4life
It's further than you think.
Rayei
ShotgunFiend
Wait... I thought NZ was north of AUS. What the fuck middle school geography.
beardspecialist
Poor education in middle school doesn't stop you from looking at a map now.
dokpsy
Be careful though and make sure NZ is actually on said map
AnActualAustralian
That's terrible advice in nearly every way possible.

Probably wasn't the right "look" for the scenes. The look is more important than anything

It would cost too much to move all the people and equipment to another continent.
imnotmattdamon
ANOTHER continent?

Latest research shows NZ might be sitting on top of an 8th continent

I think you have your cardinal directions messed up
bayardthebloodhound
Bombs and mine or Australian outback? Bombs and mines or death if I breath the wrong direction (I know its not that bad) ? Seem pretty easy.
MerToo
In the outback if you wear a full dwarf armour set you die of heatstroke before the bunyips can even get you

Contra3IsTheHardestGameEver
Oh sure, Peter "Kiwi" Jackson would love to shoot his movie in the australian outback.
DickDastardly404
New Zealand has massive tax benefits for the entertainment industry, so it actually would have cost quite a lot more, plus P.J made a 1/2
atcguy01
But would it have cost an arm and a leg?
MerToo
noted seditious war-criminal lying psychopath John Key got *told* by foreign corporations what NZ's labour laws would be. He said "yes sir"
DickDastardly404
Point about keeping LotR a Kiwi production. Weta Workshop, kiwi crew, kiwi locations, kiwi everything, where possible. 2/2
skooterLaughin
Except the actors. He couldn't find enough in New Zealand.
DickDastardly404
well to be fair, good are actors few and far between at the best of times. That said, he managed a far higher % of Kiwi actors in the hobbit
malikcarr
Peter Jackson, famed director and New Zealand patriot. Who knew.
DickDastardly404
To be fair, he is from New Zealand, and runs a New-Zealand-based production company.
