Okay, I’ve got a for real “error” if anybody’s still paying attention.
Gandalf spouts off at some point in the movie about Sauron and “his defeat at Helm’s Deep”. Those were Saruman’s orcs, right?
And speaking of wizards, in the movie when Gandawful, Hairygorn, Gimpli, and Legoland show up at Busch Gardens and see Mary and Pipi Longstocking sitting on the wall enjoying themselves, neither of the hobbits seem fazed that Big G is alive and kicking (last they saw Gandawful was skydiving with the Ballbag).
Really? I thought Treedbear just told them that a white wizard had been spotted in the woods and they assumed it was Sarukraut.
I just saw the movie again last night and couldn’t believe I had missed this one on my first viewing:
Two orcs driving their hoopty across the deserted battlefield swerving to and fro while “Funk Soul Brother” blares from the radio.
There’s a short shot where Mary and Pipi Longstocking are dumped in front of the White Lizard. All we see are his robe, so the movie audience assumes it must be Sarukraut. Presumably, M & P find out differently, so it’s no surprise to them when Goodgulf shows up later at Sarukraut’s theme park.
Ah yes, I think I hazily recall this. It was while I was bonging my second or third 40 of Olde English 800 and desperately trying to hang on to my sombrero.
Did anyone else notice the first time Aragorn held up the reforged sword (Narsil, right?) and on the blade was etched “Property of Arthur Pendragon, King of the Britons. If found, please thrust into the nearest stone and call 1-800-1MERLIN”?
Oh, and did anyone else notice at the very end when the ship was sailing into the sunset, that it didn’t quite make it out of the harbour? Right there at the end it clearly pulled over to the shore and everyone got out and got into a limo and drove away … I don’t see how you all missed it!
I heard there was a deleted scene near the end involving Sam and the ‘Lord of the Rings’ book Frodo gave him, where he shows it to an executive at New Line Cinema.
Apparently there’s also an alternative ending where Gandalf tells everyone that there is a second ring. Everyone yells ‘Here we go again!’ and charge off into the sunset.
Well, it is an indisputable part of the canonical text that Treebeard tells the hobbits that since the disappearance of the Entwives, many of the Ents have been getting extremely Huorn-y.
I rather liked the scene where Gandolf was using his staff to fend off all the orc soldiers, except when more and more of them kept coming and they were wearing suits and dark glasses the obvious CGI became apparent.
What really blew my mind was when Frodo entered Mount Doom and found a room full of TV monitors and Sauron sitting in a large chair. Who would’ve thought that the same journey to destroy the one ring had already happened 6 times before?
“It comes down to a matter of choice. One door leads to the source, where the One Ring is destroyed and Middle Earth is reloaded. The other leads back to Mordor, and the destruction of the world of men.”
Well, personally, I loved the extended subtitled palantir chat scene with Sauron, Saruman and Denethor.
