Given how physically demanding the making of this film was, I'm not sure the actors could have done it without Vigo. The guy's a trickster who always seemed to keep their morale up. 30/50
Johny Rhys-Davis recordings of Treebeard where played out of a speaker through a wooden tunnel and re-recorded to make the voice more ecoey and (literally) wooden. Rhys-Davis pondered how an ent should talk so he decided on speak on the inhales rather on the exhales like you normallly would.
As a Flight of the Conchords fan, it always blows my mind that there’s an entirely different group of people who know and love Brett because of a minor role he played in Lord of the Rings.
In regards to Sean Bean and the helicopter. He did get in to it on the first day. Unfortunately for him, Dominic and Billy had told the pilot to show Sean what he could do leading to one crazy trip which made Bean so scared he preferred to get up five hours earlier and hike up in full gear.
Viggo broke his toe on the third take because his scream wasn't believable enough, but the real pain caused a real scream. The riders who broke from the charge at pelennor fields were people who had actually read the books and so Peter Jackson told those rider to break ranks and charge.
Ayy, I was just in Hobbiton about 50 hours ago, it was pretty cool! Not sure if it's in the video, but a lot of the Uruk-hai actors were New Zealand military. Apparently they were too good at the fighting during the large scale battle scenes so they were "winning" a lot of them instead of losing like they were supposed to, but eventually eased up and got it down.
This trilogy is not just a pop corn flick. It is a true experience! I think Jackson made some really decisions with the film adaptation. Instead of putting Tom B in the film Jackson became Tom Bombadil. Of all the changes made from book to screen I am very happy with the product. I mean so much so that I crown it the very best Hollywood has to offer. It blows the doors off Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon. The crowning jewel of the film industry. When you craft something on this scale it becomes a true marriage of skills. They only cut corners that didn't show. Blood Sweat and tears created something special.
I’ve been a lifelong cinephile, loving films of every genre, era and description. If one includes degree of difficulty in the equation, there is simply no denying that LOTR is the greatest achievement in the history of cinema and is unlikely ever to be eclipsed. Even if degree of difficulty is excluded, a very strong case can be made for its superiority to any other film that is considered great.
The movie Simi Tuff was shot in cowboys stadium for the on field shots. I was living there at time and unemployed. The ad said free food. that was all I needed. The weather was not good and only about 600 ppl showed. So what they thought would be a quick morning shot feed them lunch and send them home to all day and into the night. I got feed three times that day . They had us moving all over the place for dif shots. We walked a good 5 miles that day. Easy for me but for some it got hard and they would just sit for a while and then join back in. That was a fun day and my first and last movie ever to be in. I live putting it up on my 76" zooning on he crowds and showing where I am in all the stands scenes
Fran Walsh had a cold the day they recorded her scream so it was a lot gravel in her voice, which made her scream come of as weird according to her. The result was that Fran destroyed her voice after she did her recoding of her scream. Like Peter Jackson says "Pain is temporary, film is forever.".
48/50! Fact #7 is partially incorrect. Gandalf's pipe staff is taken by Saruman when he's captured in Isenguard. He receives a new staff in Rivendell (dubbed the Moria staff) which he looses at the bridge of Khazad-dum. Also many of the FOTR scenes in this video are taken from the EE Blu-ray that has the awful green/blue tint and thankfully corrected with the new 4K transfer.
I knew all of these facts, mainly because I’ve watched the appendices to death and love them but nice to see them on here as well from someone who loves the franchise as well
Andy Serkis did tell the story of how he came up with the story how he came up with Gollum's voice in the behind the scene doucmentary The Taming of Sméagol on the Two Towers Appendices DVD.
I wanted to say that too. You typically obscure the actors behind an object like a pillar or something for a brief moment for the switch. Just using the picture frame here was done masterfully. The most important thing is that both actors maintain a very similar direction and speed in their motion and the viewer can’t even notice it.
Gandalf actually would have lost his pipe to Saruman after losing his fight in Orthanc. He has a different staff in Rivendell and on the journey. I know this because I had to choose which staff to spent a crap ton for a replica of and went with the “Moria” staff. Hope Saruman got good use of the pipe with all the pipe weed he had stored up
There was just two reshoots, not three. They filmed The Grey Havens once, then they reshot because of the vest mishap and then they had to do it a third time because of blur that happened because of a camera mishap (not because of the mistake of a focus puller as stated in the ddirector and writers commenray).
I knew 45 of these. Cinderblock Balrog, visible Arwen in Helms Deep, fan favourite elf, Tolkien grandson and Real actor dead Saruman were new. Great stuff, Thanks.
I just saw it today. I hope one day they will release all the cut scenes. Especially from the battle of the last alliance , and Aragorn fighthing Sauron. I knew 42😊 but I love the behind the scesnes almost as much as the trilogy. And since rings of power even the cringe scenes and the CGI in the Hobbit movies seem forgivable. At least it all feels like middle eart and the character who are Tolkien characters are not ruined. Btw. As much as I love Legolas, I also adore Thranduil, especially when he fights. His comstumes and sword are gorgeous and he looks totally royal
I didn't know or at least i couldn't remember 5, 8, 20, 28, 33, 34, 47, 48 and 49 I am bad with numbers, so i didn't know the exact numbers for 3 (but knew it where a lot and the number in the books and movie), 9 (but knew there where multiple in all kinds of sizes) and 12 (but knew it was shortly after and very early in his career) So i only really completely knew 38/50 and my favorite trivia i learned by far was 33 :D (Viggo Mortensen throwing apples at Billy Boyd 😂) You really got me with number 50 😅 Whole LotR love ♥️
I think everyone has heard how Viggo broke his toes. You forgot to mention how Sean Astin put a glass shard through his hobbit foot, which came out the top of his real foot. Plus the scene with Viggo in the water, he was pulled under by the current and pinned there. The Safety Dive team couldn't find him, and just as he was out of breath...the current released him.
If they had gone through with killing one of the hobbits, or they had to bend the knee for the Weinsteins, I can guarantee the LOTR series would not have gone down as well. Members of Tolken’s family already hated it, they would’ve disowned it if they killed the hobbit
Sean Bean DID go in a helicopter once and it was up in Caradras scene where he picks up The Ring after Frodo drops it in the snow. He was so afraid when he rode the hlicopter that he struggled NOT to think about it for the rest of the day, which Viggo noticed and asked about it.
Though a lot of the sounds from the sports crowd couldn't be used as some drunks in the crowd would shout inappropriate stuff like "G'day Pete, how're ya doing, mate!".
Such a great movie! Shows you can't buy quality with pure money. You also need time, dedication and love for what you do. The Amazon series is lacking in comparison in these aspects.
Sauron should of been at the final battle. I felt lied to bcs all the media should Sauron in physical form for the ROTK advertisements.(is there a fan made version with Sauron put back in it?)

I got 21/50! 🎉🎉🎉
He didn't have a sleep mask....
Given how physically demanding the making of this film was, I'm not sure the actors could have done it without Vigo. The guy's a trickster who always seemed to keep their morale up. 30/50
Indeed, I've heard nothing but praise of him from the rest of the cast!
Someone we'd ACTUALLY like to hang out with and have a beer❤
I am in shock that Viggo really broke his toe. I most certainly did NOT know about that fact... 😏
Amazing they could keep that secret all this time!
For Hobbiton, the grass was let to grow and then let sheep out to graze it to look more natural (as opposed to using a lawnmower).
Yes! And did you know there are about more sheep than humans in New Zealand? There is about 4.6 sheep per human.
Johny Rhys-Davis recordings of Treebeard where played out of a speaker through a wooden tunnel and re-recorded to make the voice more ecoey and (literally) wooden. Rhys-Davis pondered how an ent should talk so he decided on speak on the inhales rather on the exhales like you normallly would.
Oooo! I love the long videos! It’s like 50 shorts all put together!!! Let me put my nerdy LOTR costume on, get a cup of tea and watch! Cheers!
Hope you enjoyed it Gandalf!
Mind if I eavesdrop?
One of the only times I didnt skip the sponsored segment. That was very well made.
Glad to hear, we had a lot of fun making it 😂
As a Flight of the Conchords fan, it always blows my mind that there’s an entirely different group of people who know and love Brett because of a minor role he played in Lord of the Rings.
I'm on my knees thanking Eru that Nicolas Cage didn't get the role 🙏🏻 Great video ❤
Thank you for watching :)
I actually knew about 99% of what you showed here because I watch all of your videos! Thanks for all your hard work ❤😊
same
Thank you for watching 😄
In regards to Sean Bean and the helicopter. He did get in to it on the first day. Unfortunately for him, Dominic and Billy had told the pilot to show Sean what he could do leading to one crazy trip which made Bean so scared he preferred to get up five hours earlier and hike up in full gear.
It’s always Merry and Pippin 😂

The riders who broke from the charge at pelennor fields were people who had actually read the books and so Peter Jackson told those rider to break ranks and charge.
Oh goodness! I cannot see Nicholas Cage as Aragorn! 😂😂😂
Vigo Mortensen was perfect. ❤
Ayy, I was just in Hobbiton about 50 hours ago, it was pretty cool!
Not sure if it's in the video, but a lot of the Uruk-hai actors were New Zealand military. Apparently they were too good at the fighting during the large scale battle scenes so they were "winning" a lot of them instead of losing like they were supposed to, but eventually eased up and got it down.
That’s so cool! We haven’t been in New Zealand yet. It would be a dream to visit Hobbiton!
And about the military, yes, I believe that’s true! 😂

Didn't Viggo buy Bill The Pony too?
Yes I believe that’s true. There is also a funny photography of the two eating breakfast together. 😂

As an addition to the point where Éomers sword falls out, doesnt it look like he notices it but keeps going like a champ

Imagine David Bowie with his eyes, he looks bad ass as Elrond.
Honestly, I can see him as Elrond!
40 out of 50, but that's because 35 of them were thanks to this channel's shorts.
48/50!

Ahh you're right, didn't think about that staff-swap!
I knew all of these facts, mainly because I’ve watched the appendices to death and love them but nice to see them on here as well from someone who loves the franchise as well
This was great! I knew most of them, except Arwen at Helms Deep, Éomer’s sword falling and we got lucky when we got Vigo instead of Nicholas Cage!🤮
Andy Serkis did tell the story of how he came up with the story how he came up with Gollum's voice in the behind the scene doucmentary The Taming of Sméagol on the Two Towers Appendices DVD.
You’re right 😉
19:35 - it’s called a Texas Switch! Super classic and well-executed
Nice, didn't know that!
I wanted to say that too. You typically obscure the actors behind an object like a pillar or something for a brief moment for the switch. Just using the picture frame here was done masterfully. The most important thing is that both actors maintain a very similar direction and speed in their motion and the viewer can’t even notice it.
Certaines choses sont déjà bien connues, mais certaines autres sont vraiment moins connues et très intéressantes, merci !
Viggo knows how to LIVE and enjoy the moment.
4:30 I held this ring in my hands when I visited Halfdan Hansens Shop in New Zealand in 2016.
That's so cool! Was it heavy?
@@MiddleEarthUpdatesPretty 😅
You willingly parted with the one ring? A spot on a boat sailing to valinor is reserved for you
For the treebeard fact I was more surprised to see they build an entire practical upper half of treebeard for the hobbit actors to react off of.
Gandalf actually would have lost his pipe to Saruman after losing his fight in Orthanc. He has a different staff in Rivendell and on the journey. I know this because I had to choose which staff to spent a crap ton for a replica of and went with the “Moria” staff. Hope Saruman got good use of the pipe with all the pipe weed he had stored up
I knew 36 facts out of 50

They filmed The Grey Havens once, then they reshot because of the vest mishap and then they had to do it a third time because of blur that happened because of a camera mishap (not because of the mistake of a focus puller as stated in the ddirector and writers commenray).
This video was so amazing! Great job on the editing. The ending made me lol 😆
Quite some new interesting details to learn. Never saw Eomers sword dropping altough I watched the movies countless times. My score is 29/50.
Okay.. being honest: I did not know 15, 28, 38, and 45. 46/50. I feel that’s about standard for a LOTR fan
Well done!
I knew 45 of these. Cinderblock Balrog, visible Arwen in Helms Deep, fan favourite elf, Tolkien grandson and Real actor dead Saruman were new. Great stuff, Thanks.
Impressive, glad to hear that you learned a few at least :)
I just saw it today. I hope one day they will release all the cut scenes. Especially from the battle of the last alliance , and Aragorn fighthing Sauron. I knew 42😊 but I love the behind the scesnes almost as much as the trilogy. And since rings of power even the cringe scenes and the CGI in the Hobbit movies seem forgivable. At least it all feels like middle eart and the character who are Tolkien characters are not ruined. Btw. As much as I love Legolas, I also adore Thranduil, especially when he fights. His comstumes and sword are gorgeous and he looks totally royal
42? Oh, that's not bad for a pointy-eared elvish princeling. I myself am sitting pretty on 43... 😉
I didn't know or at least i couldn't remember 5, 8, 20, 28, 33, 34, 47, 48 and 49
I am bad with numbers, so i didn't know the exact numbers for 3 (but knew it where a lot and the number in the books and movie), 9 (but knew there where multiple in all kinds of sizes) and 12 (but knew it was shortly after and very early in his career)
So i only really completely knew 38/50 and my favorite trivia i learned by far was 33 :D (Viggo Mortensen throwing apples at Billy Boyd 😂)
You really got me with number 50 😅
Whole LotR love ♥️

If they had gone through with killing one of the hobbits, or they had to bend the knee for the Weinsteins, I can guarantee the LOTR series would not have gone down as well. Members of Tolken’s family already hated it, they would’ve disowned it if they killed the hobbit
They hated it? Why? These films are incredible.
I was watching most of the video thinking about fact 50. Got the video a like!
Hey dude glad to see you making Middle Earth content now! It's much less of a dead horse to beat compared to Star Wars Battlefront lmao
What are the odds of being recommended this channel of all channels 🤣
Hope your having a great week Elliot 😁👍
Sean Bean DID go in a helicopter once and it was up in Caradras scene where he picks up The Ring after Frodo drops it in the snow. He was so afraid when he rode the hlicopter that he struggled NOT to think about it for the rest of the day, which Viggo noticed and asked about it.
24/50 almost half. It's only because of this channels shorts that I knew so many 😄
Haha glad to hear you've learned a lot from our shorts!
Such a magnificent vid❣️
DID YOU KNOW HE BROKE HIS TOE ?
this video was so good your videos give me something to look forward to every day. I really appreciate it
May the orcs be with you 😂😂😂
8 out of 50,actually way more than I thought
I really didn't know about stadium
hahaha i was about to write the "did u know aragorn really deflected the knife" fact as a joke and he beat me to it as the first one!
Such interesting details!
I am also going to get one of your shirts this year
im so excited
I knew quite a few of them in this video...
I watched your RUclips shorts... 🙂
Did you know that nazguls were appear in the order: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 - increasing the odd numbers.
Gamgee, not Gamgi
You’re right, that slipped by
It happens
Though a lot of the sounds from the sports crowd couldn't be used as some drunks in the crowd would shout inappropriate stuff like "G'day Pete, how're ya doing, mate!".
It's all in the " Special Editions DVD Set " !!!!!! Jezz
I only knew about the the ring boromir picks up.
i can't believe i only got 20
Don’t worry! That means you leaned 30 new facts, that’s awesome!
Such a great movie!
Shows you can't buy quality with pure money. You also need time, dedication and love for what you do. The Amazon series is lacking in comparison in these aspects.
i knew 46 of these, but still cool bro ;)
Sauron should of been at the final battle. I felt lied to bcs all the media should Sauron in physical form for the ROTK advertisements.(is there a fan made version with Sauron put back in it?)
5 facts lol I really was intrigued by the other facts 😂😂
nice video! 29/50
Thank you!
Peter jackson stomping barefoot on grass looks like a toddler
)nly 14 ! gutted as I thought I'd watched the directors cut enough times!
48 out of 50, not bad,
Most impressive!
I got 21 of them 😅

You are missing a few more. Like did you know that the actor gimli would actually hit the orcs with with his axe.
