Sting

Here are a few more mistakes in TTT:<BR>1.) In the scene where Gandalf and company arrives at The Golden Hall in Edoras and Gandalf prepares to end Saruman's hold on Theoden, Gandalf can be seen wearing the leaf brooch on his cloak, keeping it intact, like the rest of the now split up fellowship. But then the wizard discards the cloak to reveal his white robe as if nothing held it in place. <BR>2.)In the Gate of Mordor scene there are two cave trolls opening the gate. Yet we are told in Fellowship that sunlight turns trolls into stone. What's keeping the troll from turning in to a pair of interesting door stops for the Black Gate? <BR>3.) In the scene when the Rohirrim together with Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are going to fight with the Wargs of Isengard, the horses of the Rohirrim are charging and over the hill where Legolas is shooting arrows at the Wargs. When Legolas' horse, Arod, approaches with Gimli upon him, observe the way Legolas mounts Arod. It is clearly impossible to execute this stunt despite him being an elf even. He grabs the left side of the reins with his left hand and hoists himself upon Arod. The stunt looks like it's shot with Legolas actually dismounting Arod but in the film it's played reversed. <BR>4.)There is a scene near the end of the battle for Helms Deep where a few remaining attackers enter the fort to be met by Theoden and his horsemen. Theoden comes very close to a wall of swords at the door, and one of them bounces off the top of his head. He shows no awareness of it and it leaves no mark. <BR>5.)When Sam dives on Frodo at the end in front of the Nazgul on the dragon, Frodo draws Sting and hold it to Sam's throat. Given that the other side of the river is taken by the orcs shouldn't sting be glowing? Also: Frodo and Sam had been captured by Boromir, so there is no apparent reason that Frodo would have his sword iin an easily accesible area.<BR>6.)There is a scene where Aragorn and Gimli borrow armor from the Rohirrim, and the chain mail Gimli tries on is way too big for him. This sequence is funny, but it doesn't make any sense, since all through Fellowship and Two Towers up to this point Gimli was wearing his own mail shirt, which fit him perfectly. Why does he suddenly need a new one - is his in the laundry or something?<BR>7.)When Aragorn is floating down the river after falling off the cliff, you would not expect his armour to float. <BR>8.)How could a falling Wizard catch up to the sword in midair that was dropped several seconds before he did? The wind dynamics simply wouldn't make this possible. <BR>9.)In the scene in the storeroom where Sam is suggesting Frodo use the Ring to escape, Frodo is initially sitting in front of a barrel. Then Faramir arrives and Frodo and Sam are now sitting on a cloak and there are no barrels in sight. <BR>10.)When Gandalf, Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli walk into Meduseld, Gandalf is seen arm in arm with Legolas, apparently leaning on the elf for support, but when the camera cuts away and returns, Gandalf is not in contact with Legolas, but they are arm in arm again for the next shot. <BR>11.)When Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are chasing the Uruk-hai just before the Rohan riders appear, they run between two rocky outcrops over a ridge. Aragorn signals to hide, and almost at once the riders appear. Strangely Aragorn can hear Uruk-hai on foot 1 day's march away, but not a group of riders 30 seconds ride away. Legolas, famous for his eyesight, obviously forgot to have a look over the ridge where he might have spotted the riders. <BR>Some of these my friends found: but a few were found by me. Took a while!
