‘I’m in the picture and I’ll take you’: the legendary scene from Game of Thrones that Bruce Willis almost destroyed?

Game of Thrones fans could not forget this scene! The sequence in question, which is arguably one of the most shocking moments of the entire HBO series, occurred in Season 4, Episode 8.

Before Tyrion Lannister, wrongly accused of murdering King Joffrey Baratheon, decided to call a legal duel, the outcome of which would determine his fate, two veteran fighters of Westeros crossed swords in front of the court in the open arena at the Port. Real.

This merciless fight between the weak Oberyn Martell (known as the Viper of Dorne) and Gregor Clegane (the muscular colossus aka The Mountain) left many viewers traumatized, even if Pedro Pascal (Oberin’s translator) said he enjoyed filming the scene.

However, as we learn between the pages of the work Fire cannot kill a dragonSigned and delivered by James Hibberd on the AV Club websiteA legendary sequence can be broken by an unwanted element, beyond the control of the directors and the most unexpected.

Indeed, it was in Croatia, in an amphitheater directly overlooking the sea, that the battle was filmed. Before the cameras were turned on, the production made arrangements with the owners of the few yachts occupying the bay so that they could move back about 400 meters during the filming and thus not appear in the shot.

“Everyone got it, except one person”– recalls director Alex Graves in Hibberd’s book.

Formal proof is impossible, but according to the testimony of several members of the film crew, the man who refused to return the yacht is none other than… Bruce Willis.

Indeed, even if producer Bernadette Caulfield confirms it No one really saw Bruce From his eyes, the on-site technicians seemed convinced that the Crystal Trap and The Sixth Sense star was deliberately trying to sabotage their stage.

“ He circled a few times, as if trying to tell us: “I’m in the picture and I’ll take you!” And we were all laughing because at that point, we weren’t getting any water at all. “

Did Bruce Willis really come close to botching one of Game of Thrones’ most memorable scenes? Still, if Jon McClane had shown up mid-fight, he could have saved the day for Oberyn Martell.
