Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When Gandalf first arrives at Bag End, Bilbo entertains him with some tea in the dining area. The two actors are filmed together in a scene that uses "forced perspective" to make actor Ian Holm appear smaller than actor Ian McKellen. What object does Gandalf bump to inadvertently reveal the trickery used in this scene?
2. On yet another visit to Bag End, Gandalf is deep in conversation with Frodo in the same room. A few close-ups of Gandalf show his prosthetic nose to have a smoother, more artificial-looking surface than usual. What object, shown lying on the table, is the topic of the conversation?
3. Perhaps the most notorious blooper in "The Fellowship of the Ring" is the automobile that is visible in the background of one of the Shire scenes. Which hobbit or hobbits are in this scene?
4. After Aragorn leads the four hobbits away from Bree, Pippin brings up the hobbits' tradition of having a second breakfast. However, he is overruled by the Ranger, who is anxious to evade the Nazgul. To placate Pippin, Aragorn throws a piece of fruit that supposedly has a grocery label on it. What type of fruit is it?
5. After Frodo is stabbed by the Witch-King of Angmar, he is brought into the forest for shelter and wakes up drenched in sweat. In the extended version, after the camera briefly points to Sam informing Frodo about "Mr Bilbo's trolls," we again see Frodo--what editing discontinuity is revealed here?
6. In the flight to the Ford of Bruinen, Liv Tyler's riding double is clearly recognizable in a few snapshots. Another inconsistency is evident in a wide camera view as the Nazgul chase Arwen and Frodo. What is the apparent mistake committed in a shot (from above and behind) of this chase scene?
7. Aragorn and Arwen speak of their love for each other on the bridge in Rivendell. As the camera pans in, the movement of the actors' mouths is clearly not synchronized with the spoken dialogue. Other than the actors' voices, what do you hear in the background during this scene?
8. One of the most noticeable bloopers occurs inside the Mines of Moria. After Frodo is stabbed by the cave troll, a member of the fellowship rushes to check on the stricken hobbit and easily brushes aside an otherwise solid-looking rock. Which member of the fellowship commits this gaffe?
9. One of the scenes added in the Extended DVD version occurs shortly after the fellowship's arrival in the forests of Lothlorien. This added nighttime scene shows Legolas in a very different costume, and presents Gimli without his signature helm. In this scene, which Lothlorien Elf is Aragorn talking to?
10. In Boromir's death scene, the elder son of Denethor lies on the ground after being struck by three arrows from an Uruk-hai. Aragorn arrives in time to dispatch the Isengard minion, but too late to save Boromir. As they talk, the camera shifts between Boromir's viewpoint and Aragorn's viewpoint, intercutting film sequences that were clearly taken at different times. What very noticeable blooper resulted from this intercutting?
