In adaptations

The ambush at the rapids of Sarn Gebir scene was actually intended to be in Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring, to the point that an entire on-location set was built, but wasn't included in the final cut for one simple reason: before filming could begin on the set, record-breaking torrential rains and 20 foot high floodwaters washed away the entire set. So complete was the destruction that not even any wreckage of the set was ever found. Without the time or funding to construct a new set, the scene had to be cut.
