More than 1,600 pairs of latex ears and feet were used in the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Each one was cooked in a special oven that ran 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The feet could not be removed at the end of a day’s filming without damaging them, so each pair could only be used once. (From Ripley’s Believe It Or Not: Escape the Ordinary)
