Origin of NZ All Blacks pre-game "dance".

I’m thinking of something along the lines of the camp army drill sketch that the Monty Python crew did, but definitely not specifically that routine.

According to one of the documentaries accompanying the extended edition d.v.d. for The Two Towers, at one point during the filming of the battle at Helm’s Deep, the extras playing Uruk Hai spontaneously broke into a version of the Haka, parts of which actually appear in the final cut.

Ah, thanks. Since I just saw short bits of the various dances during the highlight show, I only picked up on the similarities to the All Balcks haka and didn’t get to see the full routines.

Thanks for that link green_bladder – very informative.
