Mistake and inconsistencies are different things.<P>In my mind mistakes, in the spirit of the opening post of this thread, is something the film makers did by accident, like Boromirs roving hand during his death scene with Aragorn.<P>I'm not sure what you mean by inconsistencies. Do you mean internal plot holes or do you mean inconsistencies with the book. Calling the later a mistake is subjective considering these types of inconsistencies are certainly deliberate changes made by the makers of these films.<P>Now if you want guesses as to differences between the film RoTK and the books, here are my guesses.<P>Saruman and Wormtongue will be killed towards the beginning of the film at Isengard.<P>Arwen, perhaps with a company of elves, will bring the banner of Gondor and the reforged Narsil to Aragorn. There will be no Dunedain nor will Elrond's sons be mentioned.<P>They will have to give Arwen something to do in this film before the wedding. I was hoping for a knock down cat fight in the mud with Eowyn, but I think I'll be disappointed. I've heard rumour of her being with Aragorn during the viewing through the Palantir. Other than that, I haven't a guess. This is problematic and it wouldn't surprise me if Jackson has filmed Arwen in a lot of ways (he's well known for shooting a lot of film) and still may not be eexactly sure what he is going to do. I'll be happy if the sword swinging is kept to a minimum.<P>No Scoring of the Shire, but I figure we all know that by now.<P>No Imrahil, or if he is there he will just be the well dressed soldier from the south.<P>Sam and Frodo marching with the orcs? I'm not sure about this one, but they've made the orcs universally big, certainly much bigger than a hobbit. I'm not sure PJ will be able to sell this scene to the audience.<P>Wedding and coronation will be together.<P>Sauron will appear physically at the Black Gates to kick some major butt.<P>That's all that's occuring to me for now.<P>Whether these are mistakes or not are debatable.<P>H.C.
