Pointless LotR Facts!

- Sean Bean (Boromir) starred in a UK TV series as a soldier during the Napoleonic wars with the name of Richard Sharpe. He subsequently appeared in a series of commercials where he would allude to his earlier role, saying things like, "Sharpe idea". In FOTR he continues the joke: after touching the Sword of Elendil he says, "Still Sharpe."

- In late 1999 in Queenstown, a record rainfall caused the worst flooding in the history of the district. Sean Bean and Orlando Bloom were caught between landslides and trapped in a tiny town in the middle of the South Island. They were taken in by a kindly woman who offered them food and a bed.

- Boromir's father, Denethor, is played by John Noble. In Lothlorien, Boromir says, "My father is a noble man."

- When Boromir is teaching Merry and Pippin to use their swords, he says "2, 1, 5!". These are actually the correct numbers for the system of parries used by the Society of American Fight Directors, and many stunt coordinators and fight masters worldwide. Boromir even matches the numbers with the correct locations

- At Osgiliath, Samwise says, "It's all wrong! By rights we shouldn't even be here!" In the books Frodo and Sam never visit Osgiliath.

- In the book The Two Towers, Pippin talks about being captured by the orcs. "Only nine days ago," he says, "It seems a year since we were caught." Unfortunately, this line did not make it into TTT (the movie), where it would have been unintentionally amusing

- Richard Taylor said Treebeard would be "a very different creature from anything we've seen in cinema before." Treebeard talks and acts just like the Rockbiter in "The NeverEnding Story".

- Writer Frances Walsh voiced the screams for the Nazgul. "We dragged Fran onto the Foley Stage," recalls Ethan Van der Ryn, supervising sound editor, "and got the most spine chilling screams I've ever heard in my life. They just about knocked me on my ass."

- In the movie "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" as Harry enters Dumbledore's study, a portrait of Gandalf the Grey is included in the collection of paintings. (It is above the doorframe.)

- The volcanic lava of Mount Doom was actually made of the same sauce that's in fast food apple pies

- The portraits on the wall at Bag End, representing Bilbo's parents, are actually portraits of Frances and Peter (without the beard).

hmmm ur really reaching deep now huh, sauron

Woah O.O;

I never knew any of those

*is shure to look at the 'harry potter' one next time I see the movie* x)

i have also prepared the worst joke in human history just for you all 😄

*a rohirrm arrow hit the camera man at the most innapropriate time 😛*

lol!!

i wuz thinkin the same thing for the third one, lol. Sauron, how many times hav you see the movie?

hehe In the TTT comentary during the time when Dom and Billy are talking over the credits when Sean Bean's name comes up Dom says:

"Sean Bean, he is Sharpe."

got carried away

sorry 😛

i never really knew all of that! i have learned something new today!

lol 😆 😆 😆

i think its a lovely portrait

and it doesnt look like jack black at all 😛

Those are brilliant sauron!!! I love the peter one .. and the mudslide one with orli and sean bean .. eversoo coooL!!

Boromir is probably my 2nd favourite character, I would prefer him to Faramir and also he was pretty much ruling a kick ass victory party at Osgiliath in the EE of TTT - ale!

Discos - too bad he was weak anough to be over-run by the power of the ring, but in the end he made his name worthy again by protecting the little ones very bravely.

ah - I never knew they didnt go to osgiliath. They did change a few things on the actual motion picture than the book wshich was sometimes a dissapointment.

lol i WISH they had left the book line

9 days...it seems almost a year since we were captured

how funny would that have been 😄

hey, i don think they had electricity in middle-earth but at the beginning of ttt (i wuz watchin EE last night), b4 Frodo and Sam meet Gollum, the first time Frodo takes a drink of water, there's somethin lookin like a plug tied round his water bottle. im not sure, i only glanced at it, i culd be wrong :/

Mmmmmm Boromir 😍
