Quotes

Pippin: I never thought it would end this way.

Gandalf: End? This is not the end. Death is just another path, one that we all must take.

While on the balcony at Minas Tirith, Pippin asks, "Is there any hope, Gandalf, for Frodo and Sam?" and in the next back shot of Gandalf standing beside Pippin, the Mordor 'storm' brews in the CG distance. The dome of a building is directly in front of them, to the right. When the beacon of Minas Morgul rises to the sky, there is another back shot of Gandalf and Pippin. In this shot that building with the dome is gone, though it should be visible! (This has nothing to do with camera angles. Extended Edition.) See more...

Trivia

The last shot of this film was shot after already winning the Academy award for best picture. (In the DVD extended cut, Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh joke about it saying, "We already won the Academy Award for this film so we don't need to get all funny about it, do we?"(The last shot filmed is a skeleton head hitting the ground before the chamber of the dead falls down).

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Continuity: In the scene where the Witch King is choking Eowyn, saying, "Die now," you can plainly see that Eowyn's thick helmet strap is securely underneath her chin. It is drawn tight. In the shot where she claims, "I am no man," and whips off her helmet, in the close-up the strap is gone.
