<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> For some reason though, there were a couple of orcs standing there and they looked like they were having a nice chat, and I just thought it was kind of funny. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Good call, I forgot about those guys! They really stood out though. Probably in Orcish nature to stand around and chat, perhaps that one shot was the only thing we'll see of Shagrat and Gorbag, LOL!! Some "unsleeping vigilance" though, Boromir didn't mention that in his spiel at Rivendell. Movie inconsistency #234234, all the Orcs were standing upright like men. I've seen footage of the filmmakers going to great lengths to tell Orc actors/extras/stunties moving around hunched over and disfigured from their lives underground, a la the tree felling scenes at Isengard, and also had this seemingly important feature explained when I was an Orc extra for ROTK. Are the Black Gate Orcs a different breed, super-engineered for optimum posture and comfort? Perhaps, but I would guess no.
