Quiz on all 3 LOTR films

[Orcrist]

You're both wrong.

[Samwise]

65.5 ???

[Orcrist]

Nope

[Samwise]

66?
:( :confused: :rolleyes:

[rutslegolas]

67.5 ??

[Orcrist]

Thank you Samwise. It is your turn.

[Samwise]

Oh, my... :eek:

*Goes to find a question that has nothing whatsoever to do with numbers....*

[Samwise]

This question will probably last 3 seconds, but....

Name 5 injuries/accidents sustained by actors during the filming of the Lord of the Rings Movies. (well, the answer won't have to do with numbers, anyway....)

[Samwise]

Anyone?

[Orcrist]

1. Sean Astin stepped on a piece of glass.

2. Viggo Mortensen lost some teeth.

3. Viggo Mortensen almost drowned.

I'll have to think of two more. If someone else gets five before me, give it to them.

[Orcrist]

1. Sean Astin stepped on a piece of glass.

2. Viggo Mortensen lost some teeth.

3. Viggo Mortensen almost drowned.

4. One of the Ringwraiths fell off his horse.

One more to go.

[The Saucepan Man]

Didn't Viggo "Mr Bump" Mortensen also break his toe or something kicking the orc helmet outside Fangorn? As I recall, they kept his anguished cry in. :D

[Samwise]

*Viggo Mortensen lost some teeth.

*One of the Ringwraiths fell off his horse.


Wasn't thinking at all of these two. When did they happen? :confused:

Yep, that's another Mr. Saucepan, though the way I remember it the cry wasn't kept in at all, but percieved as anguish over Merry and Pippin. Either way, it works.

[The Saucepan Man]

Yep, that's another Mr. Saucepan, though the way I remember it the cry wasn't kept in at all, but percieved as anguish over Merry and Pippin.That's what I meant. They kept the cry in because it served admirably as a cry of anguish for Merry and Pippin.

I'm out of Middle-earth movie mishaps. :D

[Kath]

If this is still going then the last one would be Orlando Bloom falling off his horse, having the Gimli puppet thing land on him and so breaking his ribs.

[Orcrist]

I think I read somewhere that Viggo lost some teeth after he jumped on that one Orc at Amon Hen. He insisted that the teeth be glued back in, and the shoot go on.

It also says in "The Making of the Movie Trilogy" that on the first day of the Ringwraiths chasing Arwen scene, one of the Wraiths fell of his horse.

I still can't think of another one.

[Samwise]

Hm. I'm thinking of someone else that I understand lost a tooth, and about an incident in Rivendell.

[Samwise]

True to my usual line of things, both "owies" had to do with Sean Astin.

[Samwise]

Hello! I apologize for leaving you folks in the lurch. I get lost in this place since they changed the format.

Any way, according to what I've read (both in a magazine, and here), aside from stepping on the glass, Mr. Astin also:


Had an 80-pound statue or some such fall on his head while in Rivendell, knocking him unconcious. The lump that began to grow on his head actually started lifting his wig off.
During a swordfight, he had a tooth knocked out and requested that his tooth be glued back in so that they could finish the scene.


The last one I learned here in another quiz game. Elijah Wood said "He's incredible" and began to describe the incident. I remember wondering why "Sam" didn't just pack up and go home at that point. ;)

Anyway, by my count, unless you folks would like to decide otherwise, Orcrist has given the most answers, so it's his go.

[Telperaca]

*bump*

[Samwise]

Orcrist? :confused:

[Telperaca]

Can someone else just post a question, but if Orcrist turns up, he can post his question?

[Samwise]

...it's been a while since I've heard the exact rules, but I believe we have to wait 10 days to give the person a chance to answer, then someone else can.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

[The Saucepan Man]

Orcrist has 10 days from the question being given to him to ask the next one. If hasn't done so after 10 days, anyone can ask the next question.

[Samwise]

Thank you, kindly, Mr. Saucepan. ;) Wasn't quite sure.

[Orcrist]

Name the place in New Zealand where Amon Hen, Nen Hithoel, and Fangorn were filmed. ;)

[airetari]

That would be mavora lakes on the south island.

[Orcrist]

I was looking for more of a general area. That might have been the lake, but I want a general area. :(

[Orcrist]

Anyone there? Hello?

[Samwise]

I'm sorry, but I haven't the faintest.

[airetari]

The fiordlands?

[Orcrist]

I guess I'll give it to you. It was Milford Sound, which was located in Fiorlands National Park. Go ahead.

[Orcrist]

airetari? It's your turn.

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

I'll post for airetari, she is my best friend but no longer posts on this forum. i just recently was perusing her posts and came across this one and decided to resurrect it.

finish this:
According to Billy Boyd, Scotsmen use their teeth for eating haggis and _____________? (This is from ROTK:EE cast commentary)

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

bumppity bump bump bumptity bump bump look at frosty go...

[AragornII]

Just to get this thread going again(it's pretty fun) I'm gonna post a really easy question.
Who played Lurtz?
Hopefully this thread will get started again :(

[NightKnight]

Lawrence Makoare.

[AragornII]

Yeah, you got it. Hopefully people will keep this thread going. :)

[NightKnight]

Not the funniest thread around, but it definately deserves to live.

Where does the artist Alan Lee make an appearance?

[AragornII]

Alan Lee appears in TTT at Helm's Deep as a Rohan collecting weapons. ;)

[NightKnight]

That's not the answer I had, so I'll have to refuse you that one.

[AragornII]

:mad: :mad: ;)
Do want likr in the movie or on the team in general?

[NightKnight]

He's in one of the movies, and I'll give you a hint: It's the first one.

[AragornII]

Is he one of the people at the Prancing Pony?
Either that or he's just one of the people hanging around in Bree, maybe. :confused:

[NightKnight]

Nope, he's not in Bree.

[Pallando]

Elf in Rivendell? Orc in Moria?

[Mango of Doom]

He was one of the kings who took a ring of power at the beginning ;)

[NightKnight]

You are indeed right, Mango of Doom. Please ask another question. :)

[Mango of Doom]

Thanks :)

Who was the only hobbit in the trilogy to not need to wear a wig?

[Folwren]

Funny thing is, my sister and I were just talking of this very question the other day. The not funny thing is...neither of us know the answer.

But I'll guess Merry.

[Kath]

Do you mean one of the members of the Fellowship? Because if not wasn't it one of PJ's kids who played Hobbit children at Bilbo's party?

[The Perky Ent]

Hmm...Rosie?

[Mango of Doom]

Correct Kath.

[Kath]

Shoot that means I have to ask one! :rolleyes:

Who trained Viggo Mortensen's horse to lay down beside him?

[The Perky Ent]

I have no idea. Random guess time!

Lockie Richards?

[Kath]

Yes, take it away!

[The Perky Ent]

OMG PWnage! What luck :D

um...

Let's make this uber easy

Who is credited as 'Gondorian Soldier 3' , in Return of the King?

[Hiriel]

I think that would be a man by the name of David Aston. Also in the Matrix.

[The Perky Ent]

I see the demonic grip of IMDB has taken another. Your thread!

[Hiriel]

Demonic? Well, I wouldn't say that. Crack for the bored and lazy, maybe, but not demonic. Anyroad, here's the question, which should be easy.

In Peter Jackson's cameo in FOTR, what is he eating?

[Gil-Galad]

hmmm...chicken?

[NightKnight]

Isn't he eating a carrot? Or am I way off now?

[The Perky Ent]

Cookie?

[Hiriel]

Cookies, chicken, and carrots! Oh my. KnightNight is correct. He is eating a carrot, and a very dirty one at that. Well done!

[NightKnight]

Thanks, Hiriel.

Where do the orc war cries in Helm's Deep come from?

[The Perky Ent]

um....that little mound in front of the fortresS?

[AragornII]

Do mean where on the set or where did they get the sounds?

The first one I don't know, but for the second one, they went to a New Zealand vs. England cricket match and got the whole crowd to chant in Black Speech.

[NightKnight]

You got it, Aragorn. Your turn.

[AragornII]

How many trees were needed for the Fangorn set?
