In the actual Battle of Aqaba, T.E. Lawrence was nearly killed when his camel threw him after he accidentally shot it in the head. In a notable coincidence, during filming Peter O'Toole was nearly killed: a gun or rocket used to signal "action" in the first Aqaba take fired prematurely and O'Toole was thrown by his panicked camel in front of the charging horses. (Other accounts hold that O'Toole was temporarily blinded by pellets from an effects gun and lost control of his animal or that he was too inebriated to hold on.) Fortunately for O'Toole, the camel--trained for such mishaps--stood over him and prevented his being trampled.
