Amusing part of the Council of Elrond

Balrog_of_Morgoth · 01-30-2003, 09:08 PM

Maybe it's just me, but everytime I watch FOTR, when Gimli jumps up and tries to destroy the ring, and his axe shatters, then soon after during the sequence when Aragorn says "and my sword", Legolas says "and my bow," then Gimli has a good as new axe and says "AND MY AXE."

Maybe he had two of them, but I always laugh at that part. Even if he did have two axes, if I was Frodo, I'd be thinking, "Yeah, and a lot of good that will do me!"

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-30-2003, 09:18 PM

I think his axe was double-headed, and only one blade shattered.

Wayfarer · 01-30-2003, 09:46 PM

No. He uses several different axes throughout the movie.

Rána Eressëa · 01-30-2003, 09:50 PM

I agree. Every time I see that scene I have an amused smile on my face.

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-30-2003, 10:10 PM

I know he uses several different axes, but it doesn't seem to me that he really has time to get another one, and also the axe he has then looks like a one-headed version of the one has before to me.

FrodoFriend · 01-31-2003, 07:01 AM

Wow, I never even noticed that . . . maybe he just nicked an axe from one of the other Dwarves sitting around. Although then technically it wouldn't have been his ax he was offering...

Millane · 01-31-2003, 10:29 AM

ohhh to me it just looked like he flogged someone elses when he went to smash the ring... yeah gimli had stack of axes in the movie in TTT after Gandalf stuffs his throwing axe another one pops into his belt for helms deep... i hated elronds smirk after gimli fell on his arse... Gimli should have dropped him

Elvedans · 01-31-2003, 11:01 AM

It's not just Gimli's axe that reappears. When Gandalf escapes from Isengard he leaves without his staff because Saruman took it, then at Rivendell it miraculously appears in his hand as usual! Is it supposed to happen like that?

WallRocker · 01-31-2003, 11:12 AM

Oh, come on 'Mooters! The axe Gimli grabs to smash the Ring is the axe of the Dwarf sitting next to him! Moviemistakes.com has got a lot of info on this kind of stuff

eowyngirl14 · 01-31-2003, 01:38 PM

Yes, If you watch it in slow-mo you can clearly see Gimili grab the ax of the person next to him (the dwarf shifts a littleso that he can get at it) If I wee that dwarf I would be kinda mad Gimili had just ruined my axe.

But yes, ammusing all the same!

Elvedans · 01-31-2003, 05:21 PM

Yes, yes, but what aboutGandalf's staff?

He's a clever guy... maybe he had a spare? or used the force to carry it back to him? or waved his magic wand and said 'accio staff'!?

Elvedans · 01-31-2003, 05:42 PM

You'd better watch out - I'll get very angry if you mix HP with LOTR again!!!

But hey it was kinda funny.

Bwa ha ha haaaaaa... you forgot about StarWars!!!

Elvedans · 01-31-2003, 05:50 PM

No Star Wars was a good film.

I know it was wasn't it? I can't wait until episode 3! All my friend will laugh, but I will cry when it is over. I really hope George Lucas makes a third trilogy like he said he would!

TO get back on topic: Couldn't Gandalf just make another staff?

Elvedans · 01-31-2003, 05:56 PM

Wouldn't he have to like put loads of magic in it or is it just an ordinary stick to use as a prop? And what was that ball he puts on it in Moria?

eowyngirl14 · 01-31-2003, 06:04 PM

The thing he puts into t in moris is suppost to look like a magical white rock that he can make light up, like a flashlight!
