Silly things to look for in RotK - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yes, I noticed all of those and was going to post the one about Aragorn. In his "pep talk" he says," I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me." I can`t help but laugh because of the way he says me.

Here are some more:

1. When the Gondorian soldiers are catapulting (sp?) rocks at the orcs, I believe they are throwing pieces of the city.

2. I`m not sure, but when Aragorn sees the beacon lit he has cup in his hand. I think he throws it when he runs to the Golden Hall.

3. When Gandalf and Pippin are talking in Minas Tirith ( the part where Pip says,"I didn`t think it would end this way." and Gandalf starts talking about the white shores and such.) , look at Billy Boyd`s neck. You can actually see his pulse! I just thought there was something funny about that.

4. Rather sad, but when the Nazgûl are picking up the men and dropping them, they bouce off the roof-tops.

5. Peter Jackson makes many cameo appearances through-out all 3 of the movies, but I think the funniest one, is of him riding a horse. It`s when Rohan charges at the Pellenor. Watch the riders closely and you`ll probably see him.

6. When the Battle of the Pellenor fields is just about over, Aragorn stops fighting, and when you look behind him, you can see the dead attacking one of the Mumakil.

7. When Sam gives Frodo his water, Frodo spills some. Look at the expression on Sam`s face. It almost like he`s think," Great job, Mr. Frodo! You just wasted like 5 drops! I could have drank that!"

8. When Merry and Èowyn kill the Witch King, it starts shriveling up and makes a noize like when you pull on the sides of a balloon and release the air!

Awesome thread! Here's one I found: In the crowning of Elessar (Aragorn), after Gandalf puts the crown on Aragorn and it's a long shot, you can see closely that Gandalf is wearing tennis shoes. I didn't know maiar could make shoes

*snork!* And actually, those aren't catapults; they're trebuchets.

1. When Shelob stings Frodo, they maybe keep the camera on Frodo's face a tad too long; with the expression he has like he's about to throw up, you really can't look at him for that long without laughing!

2. Any and all of Legolas's "Captain Obvious" moments.

3. *this is only for people who watch Homestar Runner* When Denethor notices that Faramir is, in fact, not dead, I always imagine him thinking: "Hm, looks like my son isn't really dead. So I'm gonna have to jump!" *snork* You must have watched the "Stunt Double" episode of Strong Bad Email to get this...

In a long shot of Faramir's troops making their last assault on Osgiliath, two of the horses switch places on the left side of the line. I thought these were Gondor's finest, and they can't handle their horses?

Whenever Sam finds the lembas I think he's going to eat some and the Popeye the Sailorman music will start playing...

Arwen Evenstar · 06-14-2004, 01:10 PM

Yeah, I know they`re trebuchets, Sapphire_Flame. I just couldn`t remember the name at the time.

Is Gandy really wearing tennis shoes at the crowning of Elessar? I`ll have to look into that!

and when sam and frodo hug while laying on mount doom after the ring is destroyed they look like theyre going to kiss!

and yes i remember the "no other master line"

You're right. And he also makes this weird little noises, like a distraught puppy. I mean, it's the last thing you expect to hear. I for one was expecting a howl of pain.

hahaha! The mental image was priceless! Anyway, I was thinking along the same lines, tht he's gonna gather them up and thank Eru for his luck. That's what the book Sam would have done anyway...
