The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Gandalf falls into darkness in Khazad-dum with the Balrog, but the rest of the Fellowship decide to continue on without him. Boromir, who tries to take the Ring from Frodo, dies protecting Merry and Pippin. They are then captured by Uruk-hai, so Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli follow them to try and save them. Frodo and Sam head for Mordor, and Mount Doom, alone.

Visible crew/equipment: After starting their four day journey through the long dark of Moria, a few shots later Gandalf pulls on his hat brim, and just as he walks (with Legolas close behind) to his left (towards the viewer's right), up some stairs, the black electrical cable leading from the staff to under the robe's left sleeve is visible.

More trivia for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Question: In the scene where Gandalf and Saruman are fighting in the tower Saruman takes Gandalf's staff and sends him to the top of the tower. What happened to Gandalf's staff? When he escapes he somehow gets his staff back and uses it the rest of the movie. Is it another similar staff, or am I missing something?

Answer: It is a different staff. Look at the branches at the top of the staff.
