From Quiz: The Big Trio. "The Lord of the Rings"
Answer: Nazgūl
After Frodo was wounded at Weathertop, Arwen carried him to Rivendell for healing, pursued by five of the nine Nazgūl. Fording a river, she arrives in her homeland, where she has a powerful connection to nature, causing the waters of the river to rise and sweep away the Nazgūl. While this powerful magic saves her and Frodo from immediate danger, the Nazgūl survive, losing only their horses. They would later reappear riding flying fell beasts.
From Quiz: You Shall Not Pass!
Answer: The One Ring has a golden colour.
"One Ring to rule them all, one Ring to find them, one Ring to bring them all, and in darkness bind them." The One Ring is as shiny as gold, although we later find out that it was made from the molten material in Mount Doom. The Nibelungen Ring was made of the gold treasure hidden in the river Rhine.
Sauron, who forged the One Ring, is shown only once in his physical appearance: in the beginning of "Fellowship of the Ring", we can notice a giant Sauron striking at Isildur's army. The Nibelungen Ring was forged by a dwarf, named Alberich.
When someone puts on the One Ring, the bearer becomes invisible. The Nibelungen Ring has no such qualities, but the Nibelungen saga mentions a helmet (the Tarnhelm) that allows shape-shifting. The one who bears the Tarnhelm can assume the physical appearance of any man or animal he thinks of.
Water can't destroy the One Ring. This is proven when Isildur loses the One Ring, and it sinks to the bottom of a lake only to be discovered several centuries later. The One Ring can only be destroyed by the fire in Mount Doom, where it was made. The cause of destruction of the Nibelungen Ring is unclear: at the end of the story, Brunnhilde rides into a pyre to destroy the Nibelungen Ring, and at the same time the river Rhine floods and destroys all the world.

Answer: David Wenham
Faramir is the younger son of Denethor and Finduilas, the younger brother of Boromir, and Captain of Gondor. His mother died when he was only five years old, and growing up his father always seemed to favor Boromir over him.
Ian Holm plays Bilbo, while Bean plays Farmair's older brother Boromir and Andy Serkis does the voice and movements of Gollum.
In my opinion, Wenham plays the perfect Faramir.

Answer: Moria
Moria was one of the studio scenes of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. It was filmed at Wellington's three foot six studios all around Camperdown Rd. There were no stone halls in the mountains in New Zealand and the effects, such as the water monster and Balrog, made it hard to shoot in an actual location. Wellington, where all the studios were, is the capital of New Zealand.

Answer: he broke 2 of his toes
Actually, he got two different injuries, if a chipped tooth he got when he received a blow on the face by a prop sword can be counted as an injury. In the scene when Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli are in the piled carasses of the Uruks that the Rohirrim slaughtered in the night and looking for remnants of the Hobbits Pippin and Merry, Aragorn yells his grief and frustration. Peter Jackson, the director, had him do the shot where he kicks the helmet again and again because Pete wanted to shoot Viggo kicking the helmet towards the camera and flying above and beyond it. After so many takes, Viggo yells, kicks the helmet, yells again and drops to his knees and everyone's wondering why he did that. Apparently, it was because he had broken his toes. Pete decided to keep that shot because he felt that the "grief" was heartfelt.
