Glitches in the first film

[Airetauriel]

OK, I fully accept that I have seen this film far too many times to notice what I do, but I'm a very picky type of person. Has anyone noticed the small mistakes other than the travesty that is Arwen replacing Glorfindel coming to Frodo's rescue?<P>For instance, in the film, there are only eight nazgul at the Ford of Bruinen. Eight. Count them!<P>When Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin walk into Bree, the people they see have tiny heads and long bodies - much as if they have been strteched by computer - or as if they are one person kneeling on the shoulders of the other.<P>Just after the Ring starts off from Rivendell, when Merry and Pippin are practising Swordplay with Boromir, there is a very obvious longshot in which the tall actor playing Merry is replaced with a short actor dressed the same to give the illusion of a hobbit fighting a man. <P>On two occasions Sam lapses back into his American accent! Firstly, when Arwen rides of with Frodo and he shouts to Aragorn 'What are you doing? Those wraiths are still out there!' and the second at rivendell when he is talking alone with Frodo and says 'We did what Gandalf wanted, didn't we? We got the ring this far'<P>After being attacked by Boromir on Amon Hen, Frodo is found beneath the seat by Aragorn. He then holds out the ring to Aragorn and asks 'Would you destroy it?' and the ring whispers to him 'Aragorn...' But the whole point of the Two Towers is that Sauron doesn't know of Aragorn's existence or lineage, and when he is revealed to him in the palantir, Sauron strikes with the battle of pelennor fields. That surely cannot be left out of the second and third films!<P>A dead Boromir blinks when Aragorn kisses his forehead, but Sean Bean can perhaps be forgiven for that as Viggo Mortenson's hair flops in his eyes. <P><BR>I have watched it far too many times! (And Don't get me wrong, please, I love it!) Just a long wait now till the Two Towers, but Treebeard and the battle of Helm's Deep will be worth waiting for, I hope! Are there any other infitely picky glitches anyone has noticed?<P>Airetauriel
