I miss the olden days, when we could just kill people…

It’s the scene on top of the tower where Lee’s Saruman gets stabbed in the back by Grima Wormtongue, for which the director, Peter Jackson, wanted Lee to let out a scream.

The actor felt obliged to explain to Sir Peter why that would be all wrong. He proposed to let out a small groan, a quiet gasp, as the air is pushed out of his punctured lungs. The director was resistant, so Lee said: “Peter, have you ever heard the sound a man makes when he’s stabbed in the back?”

“Um, no,” replied Jackson.

“Well, I have,” said Lee, “and I know what to do.'” And from somewhere deep in the recesses of his memory an old SOE agent conjured the sound a Nazi makes when you plunge the knife in.
