Anyone Spot PJ in TTT?
During the battle at Helm's Deep, I thought I spotted a furry faced chubby man who looked awfuly familliar. I was wondering if anyone else saw PJ among the Rohirrim. <p>[ January 11, 2003: Message edited by: Iarwain ]

its possible he made an appearance in TTT because he also made an appearance as an inhabitant of bree in FOTR.

Knew it! He throws that spear when the orcs are rushing the gate. Didn't recognize him until now.<p>[ December 22, 2002: Message edited by: -Imrahil- ]

Uh huh, I'll have to look for it...Someone was complaining because they thought it was so obvious, I don't know what they were looking at

Yes, I also saw him at Helm's Deep!!! I leaned over and told my friend, "Look that was Peter Jackson!!" He was so easy to spot.

I didn't notice him and I was looking for him too! I noticed his kids in the caves at Helm's Deep though. (with their hair dyed blonde! Aren't they just gorgeous??) I heard a rumor that PJ's wife makes a cameo in most of his movies, does anyone know if she was in FOTR or TTT?<P>(BTW, I saw TTT again today and enjoyed it even more... There is so much to it... Amazing effort by PJ!)

I finally saw him after the third time of searching. Kind of hard to spot him without bare feet and glasses, huh? I don't know what his kids look like, but I want to see them too. Anyone have a description for me? If he has a daughter and she's the little one with big brown eyes they keep doing close ups of, he's the luckiest guy in the world! She's adorable!

Gee, ma! Say it isn't so! I'm sure you guys are right about PJ being in TTT, but I wish that he wasn't. A cameo as one character is okay, but when he starts popping up everywhere, it's obvious he doesn't care as much as he says he does about the integrity of the story. I was infuriated to see those lovable hobbit-children recast as kids in the Caves of Aglarond. They stand out so much, I think it's insulting for the moviemakers to think noone would notice. I'm pretty sure there's a Maori guy with long black hair who is in both Rohan and Ithilien, too.<P>Continuity errors like Aragorn's sword in FOTR are one thing, purposely casting people in two different roles that close to the camera is just ridiculous. Errors of judgment like that fly in the face of all the other hard work that was put into the movies.

But PJ has always showed up in evry movie he has made! He got that from Hitchkock who did the same thing in his movies.

I spotted his children more easily than him. That little girl has eyes so big I'm surprised she's not related to Gollum. I would presume they're wearing wigs though, it would take a particularly disturbed parent to bleach their own child's hair!<BR>Anyway trying to find PJ is just an excellent excuse to go and watch it again. I see the mistakes, in fact they made me a tad on the cross side then I thought **** it, it's got to be better than anything else I've seen in years, and it is. Heigho.<BR>Happy New Year everyone.

Thanks for the link, Estelyn! I didn't know those were Peter Jackson's kids! They're <I>so</I> cute! My friend and I went to see the movie together, and whenever the kids showed up on screen we'd go "Awwww!" <BR>All those kids are so lucky to be in that movie.... *Just a <I>tad</I> jealous.*

Heh, I too was offended by the cute big-eyed hobbits also starring as the cute big-eyed children. Makes more sense now that you lovely people have enlightened me, but when you don't know they're his kids you assume they were just too lazy to get different kids.

I only spotted him once<P>I do not think that it is bad that he had his kids, because do you think that maybe they were a little older when they filmed this part, than when they first filmed the Hobbiton scenes

However, I don't think either of these two would have appeared in the same story as two different characters (although maybe someone out there knows of such a case?). I have never talked to PJ, but I've formed an impression of him being a really friendly, nice and down-to-earth person. I think, however, he has let his ego get away from him this time, and should've been content as a Dunlending.

I like the fact that he always plays an insignificant character in in the movies, someone that doesnt realy matter, it shows he cares more about the movie than his own fame, yet still giving them his custom signiture. <P>If any one has ever seen Heavenly Creatures he has a little 2 second shot where he is a bum, i thought that was a cool fact to add.

The young actor who plays Haleth is the son of Philippa Boyens, who wrote the script with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh.

I saw PJ and his kids the second time I saw the movie! I wasn't paying attention the first time: I just wanted to enjoy it.

In TTT during the Helm's deep battle, there's a close-up of PJ lifting a hatched door, then throwing a spear. It's towards the latter half of the battle. I finally saw it while watching the film for the third time.<P>In FOTR, he's in Bree eating a carrot - then he burps. It's right after they walk in through the gate.<p>[ February 01, 2003: Message edited by: Pookabunny ]
