“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” Goofs List
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: SPOILER: When the cave troll is stabbed by the spear in Balin’s tomb, he is holding his club behind his head and then drops it but there is no sound as the club hits the ground.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Many viewers spotted a car in the background of the theatrical version when Sam says that he is now the furthest he has ever been from home. In a 1 December 2003 Newsweek article, director Peter Jackson confirmed this, and revealed the car had been removed digitally for the DVD release. Jackson says: “We actually didn’t know about the car until we were cutting the movie. The smoke and dust wasn’t so bad because there was already lots of it around, but the bloody windshield was reflecting the sun back into the camera lens. So we erased it for the DVD. I think some people were upset because they tried to show it to their friends and it was gone.” (The infamous car can be seen on the “Academy DVD” which was created for the Oscar jurors and leaked on the Internet. Also, the unaltered shot with the car appearing in it is contained in the bonus material of the SEE DVD – the feature about the film score.)
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Gimli attempts to smash the ring with an axe which is completely destroyed, breaking into several pieces. In the next shot the pieces are missing and, when he pledges his axe to Frodo several minutes later, the axe is suddenly intact. In fact, he snatches the axe of the dwarf next to him to attack the ring.
- Revealing mistakes: As Frodo runs from the orcs, his cape is clearly supported by a string to make it look flowing.
- Continuity: As Boromir lies dying, Aragorn leans over him. In the shots over Aragorn’s shoulder, looking at Boromir, Boromir’s right hand rests on Aragorn’s left shoulder. In shots looking at Aragorn, the hand is not there. This is because these shots looking at Aragorn while he is speaking to Boromir were actually shot without Sean Bean.
- Continuity: While the four hobbits (Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin) are at The Prancing Pony in Bree, Merry returns from the bar with a pint and Pippin takes off to get his own. When the angle changes to an over-head shot, Merry is no longer at the table and Pippin is suddenly back in place. This was obviously a shot that carried over from the previous scene (prior to Merry’s return from the bar).
- Continuity: When Sam reveals to Gandalf what he overheard of Gandalf’s and Frodo’s conversation, a map disappears and reappears under his right shoulder. The fallen books on the floor also change position between shots.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Arwen and Aragorn are alone together on a bridge in Rivendell, her lips are moving while he is speaking.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the dwarf mine, when Gandalf sits outside the three doorways and talks to Frodo, Frodo’s close-ups are taken from reaction shots to Gandalf’s speech so that we see Gandalf’s beard moving as if he was talking, even though no sound is heard.
- Revealing mistakes: As Aragorn leads the Hobbits through the woods after leaving Bree, the pack on his back bumps the camera.
- Continuity: When Aragorn’s pack bumps the camera, it’s on his right shoulder, but in the next shot you see it’s on the left.
- Factual errors: In the Council of Elrond scene, there is a close-up of the One Ring while the members of the Council argue about who should take the ring to Mordor. The reflection of the council as seen in the ring is the same as shot of the council as seen by the camera. This is incorrect. The shot should be a mirror image.
- Crew or equipment visible: A cord of some kind is visible behind the boat after Sam is pulled into it by Frodo at the end of the film.
- Continuity: Throughout the movie, Frodo’s fingernails are very bitten down and short, but a close-up when the Black Rider tries to sniff him out shows neatly manicured nails.
- Continuity: The positions of Gimli’s axes as he stands in Balin’s tomb.
- Revealing mistakes: The forced perspective trick becomes visible while Gandalf and Bilbo are having tea. As Bilbo is pottering about, Gandalf sits on a Hobbit-sized chair at a table that is too small for him. As he shuffles slightly to get comfortable, his knees move the table, but only his, smaller, half moves – the other half, where Bilbo is seated, is further away from the camera, and stays put. It can be seen that this gap between the two table “halves” is concealed behind cleverly placed, bottles, plates, etc. Then, when Bilbo is about to pour hot water in the teapot, Gandalf lifts the teapot lid for him. The lid is not on the teapot, but placed on a spike nearer to the camera to create the forced perspective. It is also clearly visible when Gandalf puts the lid back.
- Continuity: Gandalf’s belt repeatedly switches between being tied and untied as he speaks to Bilbo.
- Continuity: The rope handle of Gandalf’s staff jumps around his hand between cuts during his meeting with Saruman.
- Continuity: When Gandalf first appears riding on his cart, there is a long grey-green cloth hanging from the lantern on the right-hand side of the cart, with Gandalf’s staff on the left. In the next shot, the lantern and cloth have switched sides with the staff (which itself moves back and forth between shots as Gandalf and Frodo travel into the village). It would seem that the first shot has been flipped so that the “road” bends round to the left to match the curve of the road as Gandalf approaches Frodo in the next shot.
- Continuity: When Saruman first attacks Gandalf he uses his staff in his right hand. In the next shot from behind Saruman he is holding his staff with his left hand above his right hand, but in the next shot from the front it is back with his right hand above his left.
- Continuity: At the council of Lord Elrond, once the fellowship has been formed, in the close-ups of the hobbits you can see that they measure up above Gandalf’s beard and Legolas’s hair, almost up to their necks, but in the wide shots of the whole fellowship they are clearly smaller – only about waist height.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: As Saruman reveals the Palantir to Gandalf, he lifts the cloth while speaking the line “Why should we fear to use it?” As he finishes the line, his mouth is still moving.
- Revealing mistakes: After the huge orc battle, one of the “dead” orcs sits up and has a good look round before lying back down. This has been explained away in all manner of different ways, but it strikes a sufficient number of viewers as incongruous that it seems more likely to be a genuine error than not.
- Revealing mistakes: When the Black Rider comes into shot while the hobbits are hiding under the tree-roots, he appears on the left-hand side of the tree without first being visible on the right-hand side (though it has been claimed that this is intentional).
- Continuity: Boromir’s shield continually disappears and reappears during the battle at Balin’s tomb.
- Revealing mistakes: In the theatrical version, Saruman’s lower legs disappear for a frame or two as the camera swoops toward him when he is standing on the summit of Orthanc, bringing the lightning down on the mountain. This has been corrected in the extended edition of the film.
- Revealing mistakes: When Boromir cuts his finger on the broken sword, the blood is visible on his finger behind the sword before he gets cut, and as the sword is pulled away, his undamaged fingertip is visible through the blood.
- Revealing mistakes: When Bilbo takes Gandalf’s hat and staff at Bag End. The staff has been erased behind Bilbo, preventing it from getting a false perspective in the composited scene
- Continuity: In the Extended Edition, Sam and Frodo change places between shots when they see the Wood Elves leaving.
- Continuity: Before the water creature attacks, Frodo is facing the lake/facing the mine entrance between shots.
- Continuity: When Frodo crouches back from the Ringwraiths on Weathertop, the Ringwraith closest to him has a sword in his right and a knife in his left hand. After Frodo puts on the Ring, the Ringwraith’s left Hand can be seen – but the knife is gone.
- Revealing mistakes: When the dragon-firework Merry and Pippin have stolen goes off, the fuse is still burning. Several inches of fuse clearly remain, yet it launches.
- Revealing mistakes: During filming ‘Christopher Lee’ broke his finger. As Saruman is summoning the lightning when the fellowship are climbing the snowy mountain, as the camera swoops past Saruman you can see Lee’s heavily bandaged finger.
- Continuity: During the introduction, Isildur’s father is smashed against a rocky hill, the same place where the one ring is cut from Sauron’s hand. The over
