TWO TOWERS BLOOPERS OR EGGS
The Two Towers Movie Mistakes
WITH THANKS TO: http://www.moviemistakes.com
When Eomer is mounting his horse after giving Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli the two horses, you can see his sword falling out of its sheath.
During Frodo and Sam's final scene in Osgiliath, you can clearly see that the chain Frodo is wearing has gotten longer. In several shots, the chain hangs down below the shot, so you cannot see the Ring, yet in other shots the chain is within the camera shot, and the Ring is clearly visible.
Just prior to the attack scene from the Orc riders you can see Aragon's horse changes from brown to white, then back to brown again.
When Gandalf first confronts Theoden, he throws his cloak off his shoulders and it can be seen falling to his feet, it then shows another full shot and the cloak is nowhere to be seen.
In the Oliphaunt scene, when the Oliphaunt startes going mad, you can see one of its feet pass right through a little group of southrons.
After Aragorn falls in the river during the Warg attack he is found by Brego, Theodred's old mount. When he first mounts the horse it only has a halter & leadrope on. Later, after he sees Saruman's army marching on Helm's Deep & rides to warn King Theoden, the horse is outfitted with a bridle & saddle.
In the scene when the Warg attack, Legolas swings onto the horse with Gimli. He initially swings onto the horse behind Gimli but in the next shot he is in front of Gimli on the horse.
In the scene where the women and children are evacuated to the glittering caves under/behind Helms Deep, you can see a stalactite swaying back and forth.
When Sauruman says to send out the Warg riders, the orc that is sitting to the side is obviously talking, but his line was cut while his mouth was still moving.
In the shot where Eomer and his riders are raising their spears after Aragorn told them why they where in the Riddermark, look closely at Eomers mouth. You can see it is moving as if he was talking. But in the that shot there is no dialogue.
When Merry and Pippin are riding on Treebeard, if you look closely at their hair when they are showing just their faces against the backdrop, you can see a slight tinge of green screen behind them.
When the Uruk-Hai are attacking Helm's Deep they break a hole in the gate and Theodan, King Of Rohan, comes to help them block the door and attack the Uruk-Hai. You see clearly he gets a spear in the right upper chest/right shoulder. Later when Aragorn is riding out with Theodan, Theodan is swinging his sword wildly with his right hand fluenty and flawlessly.
In the shot where you see Gandalf and the support riders appearing in the east, you can see that the orc army's shadow is pointing towards Gandalf, ie. towards the direction the sun is supposedly coming from.
When Aragorn's horse found him near the river, he puts his head to him and the horse is clearly only wearing a halter, with no bit in his mouth. In the close up shots of Aragorn that follow, you can seen that the horse now has a bit in his mouth.
When Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are chasing the Uruk-hai just before the Rohan riders appear, they run between two rocky outcrops over a ridge. Aragorn signals to hide, and almost at once the riders appear. Strangely Aragorn can hear Uruk-hai on foot 1 day's march away, but not a group of riders 30 seconds ride away. Legolas, famous for his eyesight, obviously forgot to have a look over the ridge where he might have spotted the riders.
If you look at Frodo's feet when he is at that stone castle with Faramir you can see that he is wearing sandals.
After Eomer gives Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli the horses and the Riders of Rohan are riding away Arod (Legolas' horse) is being held by Legolas' right hand, but in the long shot Arod is being held by Legolas' left hand and the horse is several feet to the left.
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.
Whilst Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas are on the trail of Merry and Pippin at the beginning of the film there is a panning shot beside a mountain, when they are seen running. If you watch Orlando Bloom he slips on a rock and skids slightly before recovering his balance and running on. Surely Legolas, a member of the most graceful creatures on Middle-Earth, would be able to run over some rocks without slipping?
Aragorn's wound on his shoulder changes appearance in the two shots of it that are shown after he falls off the cliff. The first time it looks quite nasty, the second time it looks like it's just blood smeared across his arm.
When Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli meet Eomer and the Riders of Rohan, Gimli and Eomer start arguing. At this point the shots change showing each of them looking at the other. From Eomer's point of view, Gimli is a fair bit smaller than him. However when Eomer is seen from Gimli's point of view, we see the side of Gimli's head looking up at Eomer - his head is noticably higher than when just seen from Eomer's viewpoint.
When Gollum is begging to be set free, his hair does not blow in the breeze, although the weeds and Frodo and Sam's hair does.
When Haldir is dying and looking around him while gasping for breath at the top of the stairs, you can see the bodies of dead men and orcs scattered about on the stairs. Later, when Legolas surfs down stairs on a shield, the stairs are completely clear of bodies.
When Frodo is standing in front of the Nazgul on the dinosaur-type bird, there is a shot of them from the left. You can see that the Nagul has white hands, which are holding the bridle of the bird.
At some scenes when you see the nazgul rider riding the black winged monster, his cloak hardly moves or doesn't move at all, despite the obvious wind.
In the shot where Faramir is letting Frodo and Sam go, it seems as if they've swapped cloaks. During the movie Frodo's pin points left and Sam's points right. In this shot Frodo's points right and Sam's left.
When Frodo & Sam are watching Faramir's attack on the Oliphaunt/mumakil, Faramir is obviously down the base of the ground co-ordinating the attack, while the hobbits are quite high up (at least the height of the Oliphaunt off the lower ground as the rider falls next to them) so how does he get up there so fast when the hobbits are captured?
In the scene with Aragorn tracking the hobbits footsteps away from the Orc battle, Aragorn's equipment is reversed - his sword is on his right hip, his dagger is on his left, etc.
At the end of the film, after the battle of Helm's Deep, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and the king ride their horses to the top of the hill to look at the lightning over Mordor. However, earlier in the film when they had been on the hill there was no sign of Mordor in the distance.
After Sam slides down the hill in front of the gate to Mordor, he ends up half-buried. Frodo goes and pulls him almost all the way out, but in the next shot, Sam is still buried.
When Gandalf falls off the bridge in Moria after the fight with the Balrog, his hands slip across smooth stone. In the close up when he says "Run, you fools" the stone now has large cracks and ridges in it for him to hold on to
Throughout almost the entire film Shadowfax is a pure white horse, complete with an entirely white face. However, in the final scene at Helm's Deep, after the battle, Gandalf is riding a Shadowfax that now has a very distinct darker face and black muzzle.
Several of the peasant women in Rohan are wearing lip liner and natural coloured lipstick. The most noticable is the woman who puts her children on the horse and tells them to ride to Edoras to sound the alarm. Where does a pesant woman fleeing her home get the time to do her makeup?
When Eomer and his riders encounter the three hunters, he has significantly fewer men than he does later in the film, when he leads the Rohirrim down into Helm's Deep. How they grew to such a great number is never explained.
n the scene in the storeroom where Sam is suggesting Frodo use the Ring to escape, Frodo is initially sitting in front of a barrel. Then Faramir arrives and Frodo and Sam are now sitting on a cloak and there are no barrels in sight.
In the scene before the battle of Helm's Deep when Legolas is arguing with Aragorn, his eyes are brown, rather than blue.
At the end of the film, when the heroes of the big battle are watching the lightning over Mordor, you can see in the background that the big hole in the wall on Helms Deep is gone.
In the scene where we see Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas galloping towards the camera together with Gandalf on his new white stallion, Gandalf's horse is completely bare. In the next shot, still galloping, his horse has a white rope around its neck for Gandalf to hang on to, but in the following shots there's no rope.
When Gandalf, Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli walk into Meduseld, Gandalf is seen arm in arm with Legolas, apparently leaning on the elf for support, but when the camera cuts away and returns, Gandalf is not in contact with Legolas, but they are arm in arm again for the next shot.
When Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli meet Eomer and the Riders of Rohan, Eomer says that they burnt all the bodies of the Orc company. He points towards where they Orcs are piled and from a distance there is a shot of smoke rising from a fire. There is no forest nearby. When the travellers reach the pile of dead Orcs they are only yards from the eaves Fangorn Forest, which is vast and would surely have been visible even from a distance.
After Merry and Pippin escape from the Uruk-Hai, Merry has a deep cut over his right eye. Very often the cut changes. It starts out over his right eye all bloody, then it changes to his left eye and it is still bloody. Then it goes back to his right eye but is clean, then it disappears entirely and comes back later to over his right eye and not bloody.
Merry and Pippin were bound when taken by the Uruk-Hai, and the bonds weren't cut until after they managed to escape during the fight. Yet, when the horse almost crashed down on Pippin, he had his arms spread out up near his face, not bound, even though they weren't cut until later.
When the men are retreating into the halls of Helmsdeep, you can see an archer in the bottom right corner repeatingly shooting his bow without an arrow on the string.
When the riders break out of Helm's Deep, you can see the hooves on the last horse clearly pass straight through the orc-corpses on the bridge.
When Frodo has the top of his shirt unbuttoned his mithril armor is missing.
In the battle with the warg riders where Aragorn goes over the cliff, his sword is not in its sheath when he tumbles. Yet later, as he drifts up on the shore, his sword is sheathed and safe. Did he return it to the scabbard as he fell?
Right at the beginning when Frodo and Sam are climbing up a hill, look at Frodo's left foot: One time he makes a step and his Hobbit-foot vibrates when it touches the ground.
In the scene where Legolas kills the scout Warg, you first see the Warg jump off the cliff and knock a guy off his horse. A couple shots later you see a shot of Aragorn and Eowyn walking up. If you look closely, an arrow from Aragorn's arrow sling hits Eowyn in the head and she tries to move her head out of the way.
When Theoden is spouting his poem about the horse and the rider, Gamling is putting the armour on his King but when the camera returns to a wide shot, he still only has his breast plate on.
Shadowfax, the horse that only Gandalf is supposed to be able to ride, will not take a saddle and bridle, so throughout the majority of the film, they try very hard to try and hide the saddle that Gandalf is obviously sitting on, even though you can see him holding the front of it underneath his robes, and sometimes, you can see him holding a very thin bridle. But right at the end of the film, when you have the shot of Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, etc. on horseback, you clearly see Gandalf's feet in stirrups.
During the battle of helms deep, Uruk Hai are storming the main gate. If you look carefully you can see Uruk Hai popping up out of thin air in the right corner of the screen.
When Legolas is in Fangorn his brooch is the wrong way round, in the next shot it's back the way it should be.
If you pay close attention when the rain starts in the battle at Helm's Deep, the makeup on the elves is running. Legolas in particular, when he is readying his bow in the beginning, has a ring of white makeup near his hairline.
In Edoras, when Wormtongue is 'charming' Eowyn, his hand is cleary on her face and his person is only inches
away. When Eowyn retaliates with words and gets Wormtongue's hand away from her, the next shot shows that they are over 6 feet apart from each other.
Look at Eowyn's hair when she is talking to Aragorn about being prepared to die. In the beginning of the scene her hair is down, but a couple of shots later, part of it is pinned back with a barrett.
Very near the start, when Frodo and Sam are talking, keep an eye on Sam's backpack. The blanket rolled up at the top of it moves up and down his back, without him adjusting it.
In the end, after Aragorn, Legolas and Theoden and his men have just come out on the bridge outside the keep, we see a wide shot of Gandalf and the Rohirrims charge down the mountin-side. The bridge is in the background, where the King and Aragorn and the riders should be visible, but they're nowhere to be seen.
When Gandalf walks in to see the sick king, he is using his staff for walking. At a different angle, it is dragging on the floor, then back to using it as a walking stick.
When Aragon is dreaming the dream where he is kissing Arwen, You can see that Arwen has 3 earring holes in her right ear and 1 in the left ear. None of the elves have their ears pierced.
Soon after Gandalf has freed the king from the grip of Saruman, we see him outside. In this shot, his hair is noticably greyer than his beard, whereas earlier everything was white. When he goes back inside, his hair is now much more white, and his beard is more grey.
In the beginning of the scene when Aragorn and the various other survivors of the battle are trapped in the hall, the camera is angled from the back of the hall to the front. In this shot there are no horses to be found. At the end of the scene, approximately five minutes later, they are all charging out of the hall on five or more fully tacked up horses.
In the scene just after the Riders of Rohan give horses to Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas, you see them riding away. The rider at the back of the group is riding a white horse. Yet in the next shot the same rider is riding a black horse.
In the scene where Sam, Frodo, and Gollum are at the Black Gate, right after they decide to try the other way into Mordor, the camera is positioned behind Frodo's right shoulder when he looks back at the Gate, and the wind blows his hair away from his face. White adhesive residue is visible in the crease where the hobbit ear meets the back of his head.
After Frodo holds Sting to Sam's throat and falls back, the Ring's chain is hooked up on the button of his vest. The shot changes to Sam then quickly back to Frodo and the chain is no longer hung up.
When Aragorn is dreaming of Arwen, they stand and kiss. In the close ups, his hands are on her cheeks and jaw, but in the wider shot his hands are by his sides.
In the scene where Frodo, Sam and Gollum are watching the foreign soldiers and 'oliphaunts' travelling to Mordor, there's a lake in the right top corner. It's clearly artificial, since you can see ripples of the water, but they are not moving.
During the Battle of Helms Deep we see Aragorn get on to one of the ladders and intentionally launch into an attack on the Orcs outside the castle. Alomost immediately Aragorn is then leading the defence of the gate in front of the Keep.
In any shots of Fangorn Forest from a distance it is an evergreen forest. However, when it is seen from close up or inside it is a decidious forest.
In the scene when Frodo and Sam hide from a Mordor soldier by making the cape look like a rock, the surroundings change after the soldier is gone. When they take the cape off there is a large rock nearby that was not there. When the soldier was looking at them, the only large rock visible was the cape itself.
At the helms deep battle, when all the elves are on the wall, with Gimli and Legolas. the top of Gilmli's helmet (just above the silver band) is the only thing you can see of him. The camera then shows the two talking but when the camera goes back to the front of helms deep Gimli seems to have growen about 2 inches, as you can now see the complete silver band on Gimli's helmet.
At Helm's Deep, Aragorn draws his sword from its scabbard with his left hand. The rest of the time he's right-handed.
When one of the Uruk-hai captured hobbits drops his leaf brooch it gets stepped on and we can see it in a clear patch of mud. Later when Aragorn picks it up it's resting on fresh grass.
In the scene where Frodo and Sam first come in contact with Gollum, Frodo pulls out Sting and uses his left arm to hold the blade at Gollum's throat. Later on, when Frodo pulls Sting on Sam, he's using his right arm to hold the blade at Sam's throat.
