movie(s) trivia

[mallondwen]

ok, i have a movie trvia question for anyone who would like to try:

find the scene:

in the Two Towers a single scene was flipped; Legolas' quiver and bow was on the left side instead of the right. Aragorn's sword was on the right side instead of the left and Gimli's small axe too is on the left side instead of the right.

where is the scene?

[Lady of Rohan]

I have no idea. Maybe when they see Gandalf the White for the first time, but like I said I have no idea.

Is it when they're looking out over the plains of Rohan? The Aragorn line "Rohan, realm of the horselords..." bit? I don't know. Mx

[Lalaith]

I don't know where it is, but I know why! I'll have a look the next time watching TTT.

Umm... When they meet Eomer? I dunno.

[mallondwen]

close! closer! nope! not quite!

you are all WRONG!!!! mmaawwwaahhhhahahaha
here is a clue:

think tracking (not that it helps much:D)

[mithrand1r]

I'll guess the scene where Eomer threatens Gimli and Legolas is ready with his bow.

This occurs about when the Riders almost pass Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli.

Sincerely,
Anthony
:cool:

[Lalaith]

Why? Can you tell us?
Because they had to shot some scenes the wrong way round. I don't remember exactly why, but I read it somewhere. I'll look it up.

[Aranwe]

Didn't Viggo Mortensen have a scar on his face or something (from an accident) so they could only show his face from one side for part of the shooting?

That might not be related to this part but I remember reading that somewhere, it was probably in FOTR.

[Lalaith]

Okay, I don't find the reason why they shoted some scences the wrong way round but I'm sure they did.

Could be one reason.
I think the reason was the set.

yeah it was when they were shoting balin tomb it is mentioned on the directors comentary cannot rember when it happened but allmost all his shots are in profile there is one when he is stood by the door just after pippin had made the person fall down the well where you can just make out his badly inflamed right hand side.

would the shot in question when they are running into the sunset?

Sween beat me to it but yes, actually you’re right... the scene was a Moria fighting sequence in Balin’s tomb, but it wasn’t a scar. Dom, Eiljah, Billy and Orlando had attempted to teach Viggo how to surf and he fell off and the board smacked him on the right side of his face and body and it was swollen and beet red the next day so they had to switch everything so they could still film :D *note to self: never let Dom, Elijah, Billy and Orlando take me surfing*

Nope!

Nope!

You guys are so close and yet so far, I will give you a hint that will narrow things down significantly, but keep in mind this is not the actual scene, just really close
there are actually a couple of scenes like this but I’m looking for one in particular that really stands out, to me anyway.

Hint:
Legolas: “Hiro hyn hîth ab 'wanath”

have fun, here's an idea: you could use this as an exscuse to go see the movie again, i did, and will do again :)

[Lalaith]

The first time we get to see Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, we see them running on top of a hill, with the camera sweeping over them. In that scene, Legolas' quiver is leaning on his left side - throughout the rest of the movie, it's on his right. Also Aragorn's sword is on his wrong side.

could it be that scene? (I doubt it because I don't remember Legolas speaking elvish before).

[Lady of Rohan]

Could it be when Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli all think that Merry and Pippin are dead and are really upset and the Aragorn kicks the orc Helmet? I dunno but thats my best guess.

Is it when they have to give up their weapons before going in to see the king, maybe? Otherwise, I have NO CLUE. :D

[Elvellyn]

Is it when Aragorn meets them back at helms deep?
They've already said all my other guesses.

[Lady of Rohan]

Where is Mallondwen? Someone must have guessed it by now!

[Fimbrethil]

I know! I know! It's in the scene when Legolas says: "Hiro hyn hith ab wanath".

*smacks herself several times*

YES!!!!!! you got it... it took you guys long enough:D
ok Lalaith your go

Lady of Rohan, you also got it right but Lalaith posted it first, sorry

[Lalaith]

Oh, thank you, I didn't expect this and so I'm not prepared. So lets think ... hm ... I wanna thank my mum and my sister .... okay, just kidding and trying to make a Award Winner Speech *gg*
I think I'll gotta look for a difficult new trivia for you all.

Or Mallondwen is faster and has a new one!

*groans* It took us all long enough to get that one! :D

Why searched for an answer if you didn't like it? But anyway, if I'll find one it won't be too difficult as I only saw the movie twice.

[Lalaith]

Not really new, because it was in FotR, but a new one in this thread.
PJ and his wife appeared in FotR. Where?

[Maren]

Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh were hanging (in picture form of course :)) over Bilbo's fireplace in Bag End.

If this is right, someone else can post a question, b/c I only come on Entmoot every once and a while (*shame, heaping coals*) so I don't want to keep you all waiting.

Namarie,
Maren

Wha....? :confused:

I dunno where Peter Jackson and his wife appered. Sounds like a picture is a good place but I have no clue.

[Lizra]

Those hideous drawings? They looked so awful, I was offended by the poor quality of the portraiture at Bag End. I'm sure hobbits could do better than that!

[Gwaimir Windgem]

PJ was eating a carrot in Bree. I don't know about Fran (is she his wife? I somehow had the impression they weren't married :confused: )

[Lalaith]

Right answer.
What did I say. The question was not very difficult.

i'm to late!!!!! *slaps self* but if its alright with everyone i am going to take Maren up on her offer and post another question.
how about:

in the two towers there is one identical scene in FOTR only in FOTR there was a CG animation in it, in two towers there isn't... what scene is it?

[Blackboar]

Before I answer that, what is a CG image?

[mallondwen]

CG stands for Computer Graphic, a CG image is practically a cartoon. but more realistic
FOTR examples:
in moria when the troll slaps Boromir and later Aragorn across the room... both CG... parts when the fellowship is running down the endless stair... the balrog...the troll... the fellowship walking up the Lorien stairs to where they meet Galadriel... almost every arrow shot from Legolas' bow... Gwahir... should i go on or do you get the general idea now? i know a whole slew i left out, and a whole bunch in the Two Towers too:D

im geussin when aragorn starts off by sayin "2 hobbits lay here":confused:

[Lalaith]

The only scene that I remember beeing in both movies is Gandalf fighting against the Balrog.

[Aranwe]

CG is actually computer generated if I'm not mistaken (although I probably am :p)

Is it in Frodo's dream where he see's Gandalf fall in Moria? In FOTR you see the Balrog falling, but I don't think you do in TTT... you just see Gandal letting go.

[mallondwen]

Was it in Moria?
no

there another! i will admit this one is pretty hard, but it makes you think! thats the point of trivia questions isn't it? to make you think, and give you excuses to go see TTT again, and again, and again!:D

no, you are right, it's not computer graphic its computer generated that was my bad, sorry everyone!

[Bucklebury Ferry]

in FotR then theres a sweeping view of mountains when Gandalf escapes from Orthanc on the eagle, the same shot of the mountains is used in the very beginning of TTT, minus the eagle.

Sounds quite right to my but let's wait for the solution.

:mad: dang it! i thought that was a hard one!!! *sighs heavily, pulls arms across chest and pokes out bottom lip* FINE! YOU GO!!

:D MAKE IT HARD!!!!! pleassse preciousss!!!

[Aranwe]

That was a hard one, I'd never have got that without watching both movies several times in succession trying to figure it out :(

[Lalaith]

I got no clue at all, my suggestion was completely wrong.
