PJ's tongue-in-cheek moments
I think Peter Jackson has put some jokes into TTT! Things that bothered me the first time I saw the movie are quite possibly homages to other movies or events. Here is what occurred to me:<P>Shadowfax rearing up in the sunrise - seemed very cheesy to me at first, but now I think it could be a Western spoof!<P>The "Olympic" runner orc with the torch for lighting the explosives at Helm's Deep!<P>Have you seen more of those tongue-in-cheek moments?
