2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Nearly every film features at least one example. For a while German electronic avant-garde band Popol Vuh provided most of his scores.
3	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
4	** In his videos on Masterclass.com, he shares that while making ''Film/TheBadLieutenantPortOfCallNewOrleans'', he visited another film set nearby and was outraged to see a studio suit having an angry phone conversation right in the middle of Creator/ForestWhitaker's eyeline in the middle of shooting. After the scene finished, he asked Whitaker "How did you resist grabbing a shovel and murdering him from behind like a coward?"
5	** His response to anyone who takes issue with his occasionally bending the truth in his documentaries: "You're all losers. Happy New Year!"
6	** Calling the people who keep trying to drum up hate for his films "unpaid stooges" thanks to how they inevitably just [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity make more people aware]] he has a new one coming out.
7	** Herzog once bet Errol Morris that if the latter were ever able to finish his documentary about a pet cemetery, ''Gates of Heaven'', Herzog would eat his shoe. Morris did finish his film, and Herzog starred in a documentary titled ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Herzog_Eats_His_Shoe Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe]]''.
8	* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:
9	** Most famously in ''Film/{{Fitzcarraldo}}'': The characters in the film drag a 320 ton (290 metric ton) steamboat over the land. This was done using methods that were actually ''more difficult'' than the [[{{Biopic}} actual event]]. Mocked in his film ''Incident at Loch Ness''.
10	*** Les Blank's documentary ''[[http://www.hulu.com/watch/166742 Burden of Dreams]]'' really impresses the sheer magnitude of this task upon its viewers.
11	** Herzog [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrRNM9cMBDk got shot in the stomach with an air rifle in LA during an interview with]] Creator/MarkKermode and just brushed it off to continue the interview in a sound studio with no medical aid.
12	--->''[[OnlyAFleshWound "It's not a significant bullet."]]''
13	** He prides himself greatly in how throughout his long career filled with SceneryPorn and often TroubledProduction, he's ''never once'' gone over-budget, crediting it to doing an overview of where the budget is going at the start of each day and quickly putting a stop to anything using too much.
14	** While filming ''Series/TheMandalorian'', he found out the producers were thinking of switching out the Child puppet for a CGI. Having - [[JustForFun/OneOfUs like the rest of the planet]] - fallen in love with how precious the puppet was, he shamed them with a "You are cowards, leave it!" retort that convinced them to stick with the puppet.
