Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. As "The Two Towers" opens, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli run after the Uruk-hai in a marathon chase across the landscape. In one particular sweep of the camera, Legolas does something that is not very elf-like. What does he do?
2. As the minions from Isengard and Mordor make camp at the eaves of Fangorn Forest, two of the Mordor orcs start to argue for a little taste of fresh hobbit meat. The leader of the Uruk-hai refuses, and eventually severs the head of one of the Mordor orcs to ensure the hobbits are "alive and unspoiled." At this point, what word does the Uruk-hai leader utter that seems completely out of place for the character?
3. As the three hunters are surrounded by the Rohirrim, we see one of the horsemen dismount and continue talking to Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. A brief wide shot of the scene shows the horseman's mouth clearly moving when no dialogue is audible. What is the name of this Lord of Rohan, heir to the throne at Edoras?
4. In a nighttime scene at the Dead Marshes, we observe Frodo reminding Gollum about his real name, "Smeagol". In a minor editing gaffe, the pitch-black night gives way much too quickly to daylight as the conversation ends. What specific occurrence startles Frodo and Smeagol out of their quiet discussion?
5. The most glaring of the bloopers in "The Two Towers" (and perhaps in the entire trilogy) deserves two questions. First, when the Rohirrim attack the orc camp beside Fangorn Forest, which of the two hobbits being carried to Isengard is almost stomped to death by a horse?
6. Regarding Pippin, what is the major blooper involving him that is shown to us, not once, but twice?
7. The sound editing fails us when Frodo, Sam, and Smeagol arrive at the Black Gate of Mordor. We first hear the sound of the marching and chanting Easterlings somewhat belatedly, after the head of the Easterling column has already passed by our protagonists. To the best of our knowledge, what are these Easterlings primarily armed with?
8. When Gandalf arrives at Edoras, he walks through the doorway of Meduseld in possession of his wizard's staff. The intercutting of sequences filmed at different times shows Gandalf using the staff as a walking stick when he is seen from behind. However, when he is seen from the front, the staff is held low and somewhat parallel to the ground. During this scene, who is walking to Gandalf's left?
9. As Smeagol is being interrogated (quite brutally in the extended DVD version) by Faramir's men, Frodo and Sam talk about possible escape. The camera briefly shows Faramir as he enters to confront Frodo about the Ring. When the camera goes back to the hobbits, what has suddenly changed?
10. The Battle of Helm's Deep and the emotional denouement at Osgiliath pass relatively free of bloopers. Towards the end of the movie we see Gandalf leading a group of victors from Helm's Deep towards Isengard. Which of the characters is portrayed by a "stand-in" actor in this sequence of somewhat grainy shots?
