“We were in the middle of doing this scenes with the monkeys, There were all these choreographed fight. Something just whipped my butt. Something slapped my butt. We’re watching playback. Josh [Hutcherson] is telling me it’s ancient spirits and I’m believing it. Then we slowed down. The end of Sam’s trident and flew off and whacked me in the butt. There was a red mark on my butt. That was funny.”
