Paying homage to other movies

[HCIsland]

The "birds" reference is obvious, but where is the homage to "Back to the Future"?<P>Couple of things that reminded me of other films in TTT. I don't know if they were diliberate or not.<P>When Gandalf, Aragron, Legolas and Gimli ride into Edoras, there is a shot where Eowyn sees them from afar. It immediately struck me as "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". I half expected that whistling music too.<P>When Frodo, Sam and Gollum are looking over the crest onto the Black Gate we see Southron's marching in. I don't know if it was the composition of the shot or the uniforms or both, but I flashed to "The Wizard of Oz" where they are looking at the entrance to the Wicked Witch's castle. I kept waiting for "oh-eeee-oh-ee-ohhhh-oh".<P>I guess it's just me. <P>H.C.
