Corrected entry: I think this is just in the extended version: During the last battle, when Legolas shoots about six Orcs in a row with his arrows, and one of the last Orcs falls before the arrow hits him. (01:21:20)

Krista

Correction: The Uruk fall is not caused initially by Legolas's arrow. It trips on a log before he is hit probably due to the poor visibility inside his helmet. Also watch Legolas he adjusts his arm to account for the sudden increase in the Uruks forward and downwards motion. And just to be pedantic they are Uruk-hai not orcs.

Corrected entry: When Gandalf is trapped on top of the tower in Isengard, it's raining. But at the same time, at the base of the tower where Saruman and the orcs are tearing down the trees, it's not raining.

Krista

Correction: The rain moves slowly across the fields. Several shots of the Uruk-hai cutting down trees DO show that it is raining. It's only the closeup shots of Saruman and the Uruks he is speaking to that don't show rain, which just means that it hasn't gotten to them yet.

Phil C.

Corrected entry: In the high angle wide shot of the Nazgul in a V-formation chasing Arwen and Frodo, there are only eight of them. Granted, the last one could have joined the chase afterwards, but he either would have had to have a horse that was much faster than the others, since there is no sign of him behind them, or he'd have to be waiting for them all in the trees ahead. But if so, he never jumped in front of them, which would make a lot more sense, but just joined the chase behind them.

Krista

Correction: This is in corrections already - in fact has the distinction of being the first correction I ever submitted. The book states that there were only 8 Ringwraiths chasing Frodo, until they near the Ford, and the 9th one comes out of the woods near the road.

STP

Corrected entry: After Frodo pulls the ring off for the last time, he falls off the stone ruins, and lands on his back. He then immediately jumps up, having no reaction to his fall. It seems like after falling a distance of about six feet and landing flat on his back, he'd need a minute to recover from the wind being knocked out of him, or hitting his head. (01:16:55)

Krista

Correction: He's a bit hesitant getting up, and panting, plus we've been told many times that Hobbits are sturdy creatures.
