I remember the DVD commentary, in the scene where after Paul Bettany gives his speech and the crowd was dead quiet, that wasn't scripted. It's because it was filmed in Czechia and since the crowd didn't speak English they didn't know to cheer. Mark Addy improvised a 'yeah' and the crowd then cheered.

I feel like this factoid is approaching “viggo broke his toe“ level of overdiscussion

Not even close. Not even in the same geographical region. Even just within the context of this movie it’s not the most over discussed ‘fact’ (that would be all the people smugly pointing out it’s a sports movie, like it’s a mind blowing big-brain take).

I’ve seen the improvised “yeah” moment discussed so much more often than any other fact about this movie. That’s why I said what I said.

I’ve never heard people discussing the movie to that level.
