I agree with you, and also because axes by their nature should bury deeply with a clean strike, and it did seem as though they were just bouncing off like a club might. The comment about teenagers is probably right on the mark though, having to keep the movie PG-13. P. Jackson said recently that TTT ext. DVD will be rated R because of some added scenes at Helm's Deep. Like we need more added to Helm's Deep, right? I'll see If I can find the quote.<P>Here it is:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> "We've got a PG-13 battle scene, but it's a fairly gritty battle. It's about as far as we could possibly push it within that rating. We filmed some heads and limbs being chopped off which we've taken out. We'll probably put them back in the DVD, which will have an R rating."<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
