Quotes

Gandalf: Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee, have you been eavesdropping?

Sam Gamgee: I ain't been dropping no eaves, sir, honest! I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you follow me.

Gandalf: A little late for trimming the verge, don't you think?

Sam Gamgee: I heard raised voices.

Gandalf: What did you hear? Speak!

Sam Gamgee: Oh, nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a Ring, and a Dark Lord, and something about the end of the world, but please Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything... un-natural.

Mistakes

Saruman's Orcs are busy tearing down trees for firewood. In the second shot of this scene you will notice that one of the Orcs in the central foreground falls on his backside as the tree hits the ground. A few shots later, the same group of Orc's are pulling down the same tree, just filmed from a different angle. You can see the Orc falling down once again, this time on the left hand side, behind a burning brazier. See more...

Entry During Bilbo's party, right after Merry and Pippin set off the dragon rocket, we see Pippin's blackened face, then Merry's blackened face, then a shot of four Hobbit guests looking up at the sky, three males and one female - the female Hobbit is on the right side of the screen. I may be completely wrong, but I think she might have been played by Philippa Boyens, one of the movie's screenwriters. There are some shots of Boyens on the behind-the-scenes disc, especially in the feature called "A Passage to Middle Earth," and she and this Hobbit sure look alike to me.

Entry You may notice that in every shot of the Hobbits after the Shire scenes, they are always walking from the left side of the shot to the right. This was done to give the impression that they are journeying eastward towards Mount Doom.

Entry When the trailer was released on the Internet on April 7, 2001, it was downloaded 1.6 million times in the first 24 hours.

Entry When the Fellowship is taking the path of Caradhras, there is a shot of Saruman shouting on the top of Orthanc, and the camera swoops around closer to him. If you slow it down or pause it you can see a huge white bandage on one of the fingers of his left hand. Christopher Lee (Saruman) had hurt his finger shutting it in a door. This is confirmed by the DVD audio commentary.

Entry Christopher Lee, who plays Saruman, recalls an incident which left him rather baffled. A fan walked up to him and asked if Dracula [one of Lee's well-known cinematic characters] and Saruman were to fight each other, who would win? Lee was flabbergasted. He said, 'I just looked at this man. What a ridiculous thing to say. I mean, really, it was absolutely idiotic.'

Entry When the Ring speaks to Aragorn, the subtitles say, "Aragorn, Aragorn, Elessar." However, when listening to the words spoken, it sounds like the Ring says, "Aragorn, Aragorn, bless us." Even on the audio commentary, Elijah Wood (Frodo) says, "I love that the Ring actually speaks to Viggo, as it tempts him, 'bless us', that's amazing, I didn't pick that up until the third time I saw the movie." The other three Hobbit actors (Sean Astin, Dominic Monahan, and Billy Boyd) seemed to concur.
