00:00Ce mistake was so good that the director left it in.
00:03Now here's a tip for you, mate.
00:05Maybe don't damage one of the most valuable faces in Hollywood if you can help it.
00:08We're looking at you, Idris Elba.
00:10In 2016, Star Trek Beyond.
00:12The third installment in the so-called Kelvin timeline.
00:15Beyond sees Pines Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise attempt a rescue mission after
00:20receiving a signal from a drifting escape pod.
00:22Psyche!
00:22It was actually a trap set up by the E.
00:25Kral, Elba's character, eventually gets into a scrap with Kirk.
00:30During the film's dramatic climax.
00:31And things got a lot more dramatic when, whilst filming the scene, Elba and...
00:35accidentally clobbered Pines for real.
00:37The errant punch left Pines with a nice little black eye to remember.
00:40his buddy Idris by.
00:41However, because he's a good actor, Pines carried on with the scene despite the fact that
00:44he'd just been...
00:45being battered by DCI Luthor.
00:47Now, fight sequences are tricky to get right.
00:49They have to tow the line...
00:50between being realistic and actually being safe.
00:52Something Elba failed to do on this one occasion.
00:55No hate for the big man, though, because he is a legend.
