There's a scene towards the end of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring at the River Anduin where they're fighting off the orc/ Urakhai raiding party. As the camera jumps from one bit of action to the next, there's a short (maybe 2 second) shot where an orc gets his face bashed into a rock.

I just imagine the orc actor, halfway hunched over the rock, with another actor holding the back of his head, waiting for Peter Jackson to yell "action!" Just to smack his head against a rock. And for them to look over the footage, and say "no, I don't really like the angle we got here. And your facial expression isn't really what I'm going for. Alright everyone, let's run "face into rock" one more time and take lunch"
