Exclusive: Blooper reels
I kid you not. I did a little digging, and found a couple things you might like to see.
Item the first:
Go here and scroll down to "blooper02.mov". Download it. (It's Aragorn describing to Theoden the horrors of having an action figure made of him.)
Go here and scroll down to "The Blooper Reel." Quality is horrible, but download it anyway. You will not be disappointed.
This is the description of the second one, from an article on TORN, as found on a message board. You'll need it, since the video is so bad.
On the 20th, New Zealand viewers were treated with a set of classic
bloopers from the Fellowship of the Ring (Has anyone seen these
before?). Approximately 3 minutes of footage appeared on Holmes,
comprising of a special introduction from a rather tipsy cave troll
(who has never looked so adorable giving two thumbs up) as well as
the following (in no particular order):
Gandalf giving a stirring introduction to the true Lord
of the Rings (Peter Jackson) who sits on Saruman's throne
(like in the Official movie guide).
PJ then turns to the camera and roars.
Arwen attempting to sheath her sword- only stabbing herself
(or was it her horse?) instead.
Frodo escaping from a horde of Orcs only to be ensnared by
an unsuspecting shrub. Perhaps this was purposefully done
for camouflage since the Orcs just kept running.
"Typical Elf work"- Legolas attempts to barricade the door
to Balin's tomb with a flimsy spear (his work later criticised
by Gandalf). One of his arrows snaps. Boromir drops his shield.
On top of this, everyone looks like they are running into each
other, which begs the question: what was the point on all those orcs
when they already had perfect chaos?
Boromir crossing a mountain range only to realise
that the helicopter was available that day as it rises
from the gully. The expression on his face is hilarious.
The film crew demonstrating the main occupational hazard
of working in Bags End, whacking themselves senseless on the ceiling. This was deliberate :p
Saruman having problems walking up stairs with his dress.
From Gandalf- "Orcs. And so far from Auckland/Orcland" Mwa-ha-ha!
Merry and Pippin comparing the size of their...was it their feet?
That would make sense, but they did have their pants down. Whatever
it was, Pippin's was thinner but longer. After being spotted they
try to cover everything up, including their blow up doll.
Gandalf getting tongue tied.
Sam trying to get a close up after not dropping any eaves. All
the others had close ups while he was always in group shots. While
all of Sam's hopes seem lost, as Gandalf (without his moustache)
pushes him aside to gaze into the camera and sweep his hair away
like some sultry super model, Sam suddenly jumps up to engage in a
love scene with Gandalf.
And in the end the Cave troll falls backward into some abyss
after too many wines...the poor dear.
As I said, DOWNLOAD these. Then we can coordinate sharing with each other rather than torturing the poor maintainers of these websites.
