I don't know if this is a bloober or blooper or whatever, but it is a mistake in the theatrical version. They'll probably fix it in EE.
At the Battle of Pelennor Fields, the stupid looking pop-corn head orc captain says to the Witch-King, "What about the Wizard?" (reffering to Gandalf.) Witch-King: I will deal with him Except, he flies straight to Theoden, and does not confront Gandalf at the ruined gates of Minas Tirith, which is presumably what he was referring to. He didn't make any attempt to deal with him, but likely he will in EE. This isn't a blooper either, but I think the gates of Minas Tirith should have opened outwards. This would have made them stronger. Also, the gate actually appeared to be quite flimsy - only made out of 2x4's. (They looked thick from the side, but the figures were carved quite deeply into them.) Details details.

Speaking of details, this may not be a real blooper but why does Andúril have dwarfish runes carved on it? If it's reforged by the Elven-smiths of Rivendell shouldn't it have Elven-runes on it?

Except that Frodo didin't have any hobbit clothes to pute on, unless you count the ones on the other side of the tower, but you don't see them take them, and the fact that they were on the other side of the tower, and were not removed, was probally a mistake.

Tehe...I had a blonde moment I fogot there were 9 Nazgul and thought there were seven so when Frodo puts on the ring and they show all of them flying toward the montain it shows seven of them. And of course at least one of them was killed so t oit was ablooper but it really wasn't. This had nothing to with anything I just put it there.

Narsil was made by Telchar, a Dwarf of Nogrod in the Blue Mountains, and one of the greatest smiths in the history of Middle-earth. Among his works were Angrist (the knife that freed the Silmaril from the Iron Crown), Narsil (the sword of Elendil, later reforged for Aragorn as Andúril) and the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin. So, with that being said, I think that could be a big reason as to why dwarf runes were used

When the fellowship first sees the Argonath, they both have their left hands up *it think it's their left. But when they've passed and the Argonath is in the distance, one has its right and the other it's left up.

Well, that would explain it. I guess I forgot about Telchar. Thanks of clearing it up.

Speaking of bloopers, I thought that the dead men of dunharrow took the ships and left, and didnt fight in the battle of the pelenor fields. i hope no one mentioned this on page one.

Nope if memory serves me they fought. But didn't Aragorn take Narsil in it's reforged form from Rivendell when they all set out to begin with? I think he did becasue in Rohan when Wormtongue was like "take their weopons" Aragon was all like" be carful this is narsil". *being blonde* That's where all the "likes came form".

I don't think Fim meant that the Army of the Dead went to the Pelannor I think he meant that they fought the Corsairs...
And yes Fim he did take the reforged sword with him when they left and he did get cranky about leaving it with Hama

No I did mean they went to Pelannor, my mistake. I really need to reread the books. Anywho yeah I thought so...I geuss it made for a rather interesting scene in the movie...that little difference didn't me as much as the others I was just curious.

this isn't a blooper either -
At the beginning when Deagol climbs out of the river in one shot you see the ring covered in mud and then he drops it and you see it in the grass and it is clean with no mud on it at all. Talking of Frodo and Sam in the orc armour i thought it was funny how Sam still had his pots and pans fastened onto the bottom of the armour. bless little Samwise |

this isnt from rotk but from fotr; i always wondered, gandalf got his staff snatched by saruman. but then, he has it back later. i thought wizards only got one staff. maybe gandalf had a reserve? anyway, the only reason i bring this up is because i have a question, and i wanted to get my foot in the door without having to start a whole other thread.
okay, you know when in fotr they leave rivendell, then they are all sitting on those rocks talking about which way to go. and they see those birds flying toward them "whats that?" "oh just a puff of clouds" "its moving towards us" then legolas says something, shouts it, that for the life of me i cannot make out. phonically its sounds like "cry me from dublin". so what the heck is he saying, anyway?

"Crebain from Dunland!"
Basically, crebain is a kind of raven- or crow-like bird (although I thought they looked more like bats in the movie) and Dunland is where they are from. Dunland was near the southern Misty Mountains and its people were enemies of Rohan. Saruman used the crebain as spies. Thanks to The Encyclopedia of Arda! http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default.htm |
