Minor Mistakes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

mormegil · 06-02-2005, 05:04 PM

Some of my favorites are in the battle on Pellenor fields there is a hairy orc (facial hair) that the main orc talks to (don't know his name but pink guy with tumors) anyway he's at the gate then at the Rohirrim charge (obviously killed) then he appears at the landing of the ships when Aragorn arrives.

Another good on is at the black gate, many arrive on horses and in one scene you see them but in the next shot they are gone. I've noticed these and many others (it's kind of a passion of mine to find mistakes) but here's a fun website for those interested enough in it. Link there are most all movies in there. You will find that LoTR ranks high on the most mistakes in a film.

True. But the films which are ranked highest are those which will tend to be popular with those who make a hobby of spotting mistake in films ...

It wasn't meant as a slander against the movie. The fact is the larger the movie the more common are the mistakes. I just wanted to point out that it is high up there. While I make it a hobby to find mistakes I don't think it a poor film unless there are plot holes, bad story line, horrible acting etc... Simple, yet fun, mistakes don't make or break a movie to me.
