SPOTTED MISTAKES!! *spoilers warning*

AngieBaggins · 12-21-2002, 02:30 PM

did anyone else see them? I saw three but can only remember two (hm... that means i have to go see it again!!YAY! hehehe)

1st- in the beginning when Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn are chasing after the orcs, Gimli DROPS something, it looks like some sort of hat, it's very quick and you notice it only if you look at gimli.

2nd- When Shadowfax is called by Gandalf, you see under his chin a LOTHLORIEN brooch. HOw did he get that when he didn't go to lothlorien?

the third one i'm racking my brain to remember, but oh well, did anyone else spot anything?

BeardofPants · 12-21-2002, 03:02 PM

Leggie forgot to put his contacts on in Helms Deep, and I'm sure I saw Gandalf wearing trainers at some point!

Fred Baggins · 12-21-2002, 03:16 PM

Actually if you'll remember from the book, Gandalf DID go to Lothlorin. After he was found again, he was taken to Lothlorin, and healed...or something. So Gandlaf WAS in lothlorin. Perhaps they don't have anything in the original TTT, but watch the extended version Dvd for TTT when it comes out. I'll bet the add at least a couple seconds with Gandalf in Lothlorin. ll right, I'm done with my whole talking...thing...now.

The only mistake I noticed was Legolas's magical color changing eyes...

I saw the movie for the second time today. I noticed two 'mistakes'
1) When Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimili, and Legolas are walking into the stable at Rohan, and Gandalf says ' On the morning of the 5th day look to the East, (or something along the lines of that) Aragorn nods and says something that sounds a lot like 'K'.(an abreviation for okay) This doesn't sound very Middle-Earthy to me...

2) Towards the end of the film, when Farair has taken Frodo and Sam to Gondor, Frodo is standing on a brigde like thing and starts to put his ring on. Then Sam runs and pushs him over and they tumble down the stairs. During that next scene if you look when Frodo is just leaning back after starting to stab Sam that the chain with the ring on it is hooked around the button on his vest. Then a split-second later, the chain is unhooked.

I may have missed something and there was time for the chain to swing loose, but it looks to me that when they went back to add more footage to that scene they missed the whole 'chain caught on button thing'. I could be wrong.

I still love Legolas even if his eyes do change color sometimes...

I don't know if this is a mistake or not. The movie shows pippin and merry seeing gandalf before gimli, legolas , and aragorn. Surely they must have said "Gandalf!!! you are alive!!" or something like that. But when Legolas, Gimili, and Aragorn call him Gandalf he seems not to remember that that is his name. Logically he would have just been called that.

Elf.Freak · 12-22-2002, 08:36 AM

i noticed the 'eye-colour changing trick' but i didn't notice the others, i'll have to watch the movie again *sigh* yay!

Blackboar · 12-22-2002, 10:35 AM

The only thing I noticed is Gandalf wearing trainers!

Taurwen · 12-22-2002, 10:46 AM

When the horn sounded at the Black Gate, you saw trolls pulling on ropes to get the gates to open, and it was in the daylight. Trolls are supposed to turn to stone in the daylight, so this didn't make sense.

That was all I noticed. The movie was too stressful for me to notice anything else, and I've only gotten to see it once so far.

Lollypopgurl · 12-22-2002, 12:56 PM

LOL, I feel so stupid. I didn't catch any!

Oh well, there's another excuse to go watch it again!

Only cave trolls turn to stone in the daylight

Where do you get that from? In 'The Hobbit' the Trolls, turn to stone, and I don't remember anyhting about them being called cave trolls.

Pardon my ignorance, what are trainers?

Sminty_Smeagol · 12-22-2002, 09:18 PM

I was wondering the same thing... although by the sound of it, I may not want to know.

Gwaimir Windgem · 12-22-2002, 09:36 PM

They were stone-trolls; I think that all trolls but Olog-hai turn into stone from sunlight.

I think it was intentional so that the uninitiated audience would not be sure whether it was Saruman or Gandalf they saw.

Obviously it didn't work coz Gandalf was shown wearing freshly bleached robes in the trailers, posters, etc.

I think "trainers" is what they call sneakers in the UK. (?)

Gwaimir Windgem · 12-22-2002, 10:22 PM

Yeah, they definitely should have kept Gandalf the White out of trailers and all that stuff. It would have made it much better for the non-readers when they see him.
