I heard that there were women extra's at Helm's Deep too!
There is a picture in my book of quite a few women extras! there were many more men though.

While it may have been a feminine name in Gondor, it was probably a masculine one in Rohan.

Women archers at helms deep

Elves: Elves are pretty androgynous, so from a distance it's hard to be sure. No elves have facial hair.
Rohirrim: This is entirely possible, Eowyn said herself that many women learn how to fight.

And they're all wearing armour so stop looking at their chests you sickos!

What about Cirdan. He looks pretty hairy to me....

Look at the way their cheekbones line up to hte rest of their face. All right, so it's not infallible, but it works a good chunk of the time.

Which movie is he in, what scene? Cirdan's more of a behind the scenes mover, the kind of character PJ tends to ignore (like Glorfindel.) I'm not saying it's good to ignore these people, but anyway, I'm not sure where hairy Cirdan appears.

IIRC, he appears in the prologue to Fellowship. And remember: Cirdan had a beard.

Now some of those elven archers are definitely female, I'll be bound. And at the Black Gate, one of the two Eastern/Southern/whatever they are soldiers who break out to inspect the area where Sam fell is without a doubt a woman. Eyeliner or no eyeliner, that is a woman. A woman!

and your right, they could have been bound, BoP
Hey, YOO live in NZ, what's the ratio of elvish looking folk, women to men?

You could be onto something there. The average kiwi bloke would be too much into their beer and rugger to nance.

BoP, I need to go back and watch the beginning of FOTR again. I'd look up Elves in the appendecies, but I didn't bring my books to university - I'd never get any studying done.

Transvestite rugby-playing archers with effeminate voices

Sounds more like a half dwarf-elf lovechild to me
