Fun fact: While shooting this scene, Peter Jackson wanted Sir Christopher Lee to scream. However, Lee corrected Jackson: "Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody's snuck up on by a tree? Because I do."
The Shakespeare veteran then proceeded to give an in-depth summary of the Battle of Dunsinane.
He also did a scene where he was supposed to "scream like he'd just been stabbed" and he was like "people don't scream when they've been stabbed. They make a wet gurgling sound" and everyone had to break for the rest of the day because they forgot about all those Nazis he killed.
He's also related to Ian Fleming and was likely one of the inspirations for James Bond.
