#1. In the scene where Sam and Frodo are in the field with the scarecrow, you can plainly
see a car cruising past in the distance, from right to left. This holds the dubious distinction of being the first urban myth
(of sorts) spawned by this site - some people swear blind there's a car there, others insist there's nothing at all. All I
can say is watch it and make up your own mind. If there is a car, they'll delete it for the DVD release, so get in there quickly!
Further comment - there are two different shots which show the car moving from right to left. One starts at the top right
distance, and in a shot a few seconds later the car has travelled down the road a bit and is more easily visible. Complicating
matters is that the dust thrown up by the car looks similar to smoke from a chimney in the right distance, making some people
think it is just the chimney. But chimneys don't move, and the smoke from the chimney is separate from the moving vehicle.
#2. As Boromir and Aragorn talk right before Boromir dies, you can see Boromir's right hand
gripping Aragorn's left shoulder in the shot from behind Aragorn's right shoulder, but when the camera veiw changes to Boromir's
perspective, looking up at Aragorn, his hand is not there. The scene goes back and forth between these two views several times.
#3. When the Fellowship meets in Rivendell, and the Dwarf trys to break the ring with his
axe, the axe breaks into many pieces on the platform upon which the ring is laid. At first, the pieces are there in the closeup
view. When the camera pans back for a long range view of the Fellowship, the pieces of the axe on the platform are gone. In
the following closeup, the pieces magically re-appear.
#4. Towards the end of the movie, where Frodo is collecting wood and he has the fight with
Boromir, he puts the ring on his finger, somehow it went from the chain he had it on to his finger without any problems. the
next time he has the ring is when he takes it off (no chain) and offers it to Stryder (no chain) when he is down by the river,
he has it on the chain in his hand...too much action going on with that chain.
#5. When Frodo stops rolling down the snow covered hill, just before the shot of Boromir
picking up the ring, you can see the edge of the stockings that the actors wore to protect their feet since there were walking
in real snow for that scene.
In the scene where the hobbits ask Strider where he is taking them, he answers "Into the
wild." A split second later as Strider walks past the camera the bow he carries on his back bumps into the camera, nudging
the screen a bit.
#6. After the battle with the cave troll, Aragorn rushes over to injured Frodo and brushes
past some big rocks which wobble, showing that they are clearly lightweight and not real.
#7. When the fellowship is in Moria, right before the Balrog comes, they are surrounded
by orcs. They all have their swords drawn, and Frodo's is not glowing blue even though they are surrounded by orcs. Some people
have said they're goblins, but given that Frodo's sword was glowing during the first attack, it should be glowing later too.
#8. When Frodo awakes in the bed in Rivendell, Frodo's shirt is open and the sheet low down
on the bed in the first shot, and then his shirt's closed and the sheet pulled substantially higher in the next shot
#9. When the Fellowship first sets off they are on top of a mountain and the bird spies
are aproaching, Boromir says that it can't be a cloud because it's blowing against the wind, when quite clearly his hair is
blowing in the same direction as the shape is moving.
#10. When Sam tried to follow Frodo (at the very end) and started drowning in the Great
River, Sam was all the way under water. Frodo saved him, and then when you see that they are both in the boat again, Sam is
COMPLETELY dry. Only his head is dripping wet. Frodo also reached in to save him, and Frodo's arm wasn't wet, either.
#11. When Frodo pulls Sam into the elvish boat after saving him from drowning, you can see
Sam's foot for a second, and you see he doesn't have his hobbit feet on. Sam pulls his foot under his cloak right away to
hide it. Nevertheless, it is noticeable and a bit funny.
#12. When the hobbits first start to run away from Farmer Maggot, they are running through
the corn, which is clearly much taller than them. Two seconds later, when the camera angle changes to the wide view (you can
see all four hobbits running through the corn), their heads are even with, if not slightly above the corn.
#13. When Arwen and Aragorn are talking on the bridge, you see Arwen's lips moving while
Aragorn is speaking.
#14. When the hobbits are sitting at the table in the Prancing Pony in Bree, Merry comes
back with a pint. Pippin leaves to get one too. Then we see Sam mention to Frodo that a man is looking at them, across the
table sits Pippin and no Merry.
