00:00This mistake was so good that the director left it in.
00:03Now, here's a tip for you.
00:04Maybe don't damage one of the most valuable faces in Hollywood if you can help it.
00:08We're looking at you, Idris Elba, in 2016's Star Trek Beyond.
00:12The third installment in the so-called Kelvin timeline of Trek,
00:15Beyond sees Pine's Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise
00:18attempt a rescue mission after receiving a signal from a drifting escape pod.
00:22Sike! It was actually a trap set up by the evil Kral, idiots!
00:26Kral, Elba's character, eventually gets into a scrap with Kirk during the film's dramatic climax.
00:31And things got a lot more dramatic when, whilst filming the scene,
00:34Elba accidentally clobbered Pine for real.
00:37The errant punch left Pine with a nice little black eye to remember his buddy Idris by.
00:41However, because he's a good actor, Pine carried on with the scene
00:43despite the fact that he'd just been battered by DCI Luthor.
00:47Now, fight sequences are tricky to get right.
00:49They have to toe the line between being realistic and actually being safe,
00:52something Elba failed to do on this one occasion.
00:54No hate for the big man though, because he is a legend.
