English and Turkish Subtitle available now. Open subtitles on settings. Here's a book version of what happened to Saruman: In Book Saruman didn't die here! after the ring was destroyed, Saruman left from Orthanc with Grima. Frodo, Gandalf and others meet Saruman and Grima on their way to Rivendell and Gandalf gave him a final chance to restore his honor but he declined it and continued going their own way. While Frodo and gang rested in Rivendell, Saruman arrived in Shire and with with the help of thieves and crooks (most of them his former troops from Isengard) began to destroying and turning Shire to a wasteland (Sams vision from the first movie) But Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin gathered hobbits together and defeated Saruman's forces in "Battle of Bywater" After his defeat, Frodo ordered Saruman let to be go but Saruman went and stabbed Frodo but couldnt kill him because Mithril shirt, Other hobbits were going to kill him but Frodo stopped them and told Saruman to leave, Saruman ordered Grima to follow him but Frodo offered him that he can stay and gain strength and then leave to other way and not listen Saruman anymore, for this Saruman laughed and told them that it was Grima who killed Lotho Sackville-Baggins, Grima mumbled that it was under orders and he finally snapped and cut his throat open, after doing that Grima tried to run but hobbits killed him by shooting him with arrows. And here is my comment why this scenes was deleted from the movie and it has been made with extra/extended scenes, because in 2003, probably it was too late to leave from cinema for the viewers, i mean, movie is already 3.5h, and if they were added this scenes too, it would be like 4-4.5h . and that meaning is they can show the movie less in 1 day. For example if its 3.5h they can stream at the cinema like 4-5 times and if it was be 4.5h, they could show like 2-3 times in 1 day. Im trying to tell thats because of commercial reasons. And also Netflix and other any platforms which is making open stream for everyone reachable, they would never have this kind of special scenes because they won't pay extra money for that. Also that mystery keeps alive the minds of the viewers, everytime they are wondering what happened, what i missed, what i have not seen yet. So people is watching more and more about the trilogy and starting to research about it. So if anyone is wondering about it, they will stop dreaming and they will try to find blu-ray version and buy it manually or buying the books of LOTR by J.R.R Tolkien, and read it. So they can sell books too. And another thing is for can make physical sells without the streams at the cinema, so you have to buy it with money for can see this scenes. Thats a very good trick to sell and earn more money. Like DVD etc. Its calling "Blu-Ray" . Thats just my opinion. It doesn't has to be true. Just wanted to share with you. I hope you enjoyed the video and also the comment at the upside, what happened in the real (book). Have Fun. Kind regards. also you can reach all deleted scenes playlist here kzfaq.info/sun/PLZeU4WLB81HSt3LCu_zwPV74-B92fr4ok , have fun 💛

Saruman: *is doing his speech* Everyone at the bottom of the very tall tower: What did he say???

Twice the pride double the fall.

For those wondering why legolas shot Grima... he needed to make up for the one point against gimli at helms deep.

"What is the house of Rohan but a thatched barn where brigands drink in the reek, and their brats roll on the floor with the dogs!" What a great line.

I think it’s so cute how Legolas without a moments hesitation reaches for his bow to outright murder Saruman just because Gimli said so 😂😂😂

Gandalf: Saruman, your staff is broken Sauron: Elendil, your sword is broken. Uruk-hai: Theoden, your wall is broken. Aragorn: Eowyn, your heart is broken.

The most important scene in the movie, cutting it was pure madness. Every character is affected here and you see throughout the entire movie how hard Sarumans words hit them. Scenes like Gandalf "I've sent him to his death...." Ring a bit hollow without the context that it's Sarumans words eating away at him.

Many forget the fact that this Tower is shaped exactly like Sarunan's staff. Not only is this powerful, but an incredible metaphor.

Fun fact: Peter Jackson wanted saruman to scream. But Christopher Lee spent years shanking nazis, he knew what a man does when stabbed in the back. So instead he reacts like he does here, how someone actually reacts when stabbed in the back.

Theoden: Grima, come down... Grima: How in the hell am I supposed to come down! I don't even know how I got up here!!!

I find it quite interesting that Grima was undoubtedly mistreated time and time again and yet he never rebelled. But the moment Theoden decided to forgive him, and Saruman diminished Rohan and Theoden, then did Grima decide to strike. As far as I'm concerned, Grima's attack was not a kicked dog biting back at its master, it was his last glimmer of pride and strength as a man of Rohan facing an opponent. Sure, that last glimmer came in the form of a "treacherous" backstabbing as opposed to a more open confrontation, but Grima was always the underhanded kind of fellow

RIP Bernard Hill. You were Brilliant. And this scene always stuck with me due to your incredible performance. Be at Peace.

Sir Christopher Lee never fails to deliver. Such a good actor. May he rest in peace

Saruman: Gets stabbed in the back. Gandalf: 😬

RIP Bernard Hill

The crazy part about this is that Christopher lee served in wartime . Peter jackson wanted him to cry out when he was stabbed in the back . Lee replied “do you know what it sounds like when someone is stabbed in the back ? Because I do .” So crazy

I never understood why they cut this out of the theatrical version. It’s a bit unsatisfying leaving the theatre not knowing what happened to Saruman. Other than that, ROTK is pure perfect.

"That is not the sound of a man being stabbed in the back." -Christopher Lee

4:05 “FREE!??? He will never be free.” I love his outraged, villainous delivery of that particular line 😂😈

“Master Gandalf.. you have interfered with our affairs for the last time.”

“What do you want, Gandulf the grey? Let me guess, the key of Orthanc? Or perhaps the keys of Barad-dur itself? Along with the crowns of the seven kings and the rods of the five wizards?” Just tea, thank you

If Gandalf hadn’t stepped forward, All the main characters would have died from splash damage

Gandalf: my powers have doubled since the last time we met. Saruman: good, twice the pride, double the fall.

0:15 & 0:47 I love Aragorns reaction to what Theodens speech. He completely understands his anger and realizes it could've been him saying that

"Grima, come down. Be free of him." This is for me the most sad moment of the trilogy. Others made their mistakes but made up for them. Theodin had forgiven Grima but he couldn't help him.

"Saruman..your staff is broken" so badass

1. R.I.P. Bernard Hill. 😞 2. If I were Grima, I simply would have kicked Saruman Spartan-style.

Better dialogue in the book. "We will have peace," said Théoden at last thickly and with an effort. Several of the Riders cried out gladly. Théoden held up his hand. "Yes, we will have peace," he said now in a clear voice, "we will have peace, when you and all your works have perished--and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter a men's hearts. You hold out your hand it to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Mordor. Cruel and cold! Even if your war on me was just--as it was not, for were you ten times as wise you would have no right to rule me and mine for your own profit as you desired--even so, what will you say of your torches in Westfold and the children that lie dead there? And they hewed Háma's body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanic. So much for the house of Eorl. A lesser son of great sires am I, but I do not need to lick your fingers. Turn elsewhither. But I fear your voice has lost its charm.”

0:52 Saruman tells us what his favourite MOBA is

I bet everyone was pissed that they had to cut this scene. It explains so much it's criminal that it's missing.

Gandalf: Your treachery has already cost many lives. Thousands more are now at risk. Saruman: TENS OF THOUSANDS!!

Christopher Lee and Bernard Hill always give me chills. Everyone is a marvelous actor, of course, but no matter how many times I rewatch these films, I find the performance of those two to stun me.

So brutal, the way he thuds on the spoke of that wheel might be the most gruesome death in the entire trilogy

That moment when chucky kills count dooku

2:38 Can we all just utterly appreciate how Legolas agreed promptly to shoot, at Gimli's behest, without even giving it second thought?

Never understood why they left this wonderful scene out of the main version

3:30 I love this part. You can tell Saruman's insults to Theoden cut right to the core. For the rest of this film, he reckons with these words and his ride to Gondor is based on proving Saruman wrong. It really re-establishes his character for this film. Shame it was cut out but thankfully we have the EE.

*”We shall have peace...we shall have peace when you answer for the burning of the West Fold, and the children that lie dead there! We shall have peace when the lives of the soldiers whose bodies were hewn even as they lay dead against the gates of the Hornburg are avenged! When you hang from a gibbet for the sport of your own crows- we shall have peace...”* I’ve got chills.

3:14 - Theoden to Grimma. "Be free of him!" A true king and leader of people. Grimmas character & actor absolutely NAILED his role.

thumbs up if you know why Christopher Lee makes the noise he does at 4:30

“The key of Orthanc? Or perhaps the keys of Barad-dur itself? And the seven crowns of the kings and the five staffs of the wizards?” Gandalf: Actually if you could give me those that would be great thanks Saruman: What

It’s a shame Legolas killed Grima. From theodan’s face it seemed like he was actually going to pardon him and accept him back.

You can feel Theodens anger and complete outrage at Saruman offering "peace"

This scene is amazing I'm so glad they restored it for the re-cut. Lee's acting dominates the scene even when saruman loses his power.

I love how throughout this scene, including most prominently after Saruman's fireball failed to kill him, Gandalf looks like he just pities Saruman

that still only counts as one.

Jesus this has to be one of the most beautiful moments of the entire trilogy. . . So much respect for a man like Christopher Lee correcting his director to deliver a finished product to his audience and fans ( and a true hero at that having served in WWll ).... Only wish Jackson would have allowed this in his finished theatrical cut ( it was a bad creative decision to pull in this scene as it never made sense forcing your audience to walk out of the theaters with that huge plot hole of "what the hell ever happened to Saruman?" as he's obviously the second largest threat to middle Earth after Sauron. Damn R.I.P. Christopher Lee. Glad he got to see his scene restored before his passing.

The fact that he argued with the director about how Saruman should sound like when he's being stabbed

The moment when Dracula hurls a fireball at Magneto, is killed by Chucky and then Chucky is killed by Will Turner Edit: jeez thanks for the likes guys 😊

"Gibbets and crows... dotard!" I love when he said that. Masterful acting.

I can't be the only one who felt really bad for Grima in this moment. It was clear in Two Towers that he regretted what he had done, as evidenced by his reaction after seeing the orc army. Theoden did seem like he wanted to help him, to bring him back to Rohan. And Grima looked like he still respected Theoden, like he actually wanted to leave back to Rohan and redeem himself. I was honestly very upset that he died so suddenly

Pure chills from Theoden's speech

"You are the lesson son of greater sires" He just went medieval on him with that roast.

So let me guess straight, Saruman firsts tries to “make peace” with Théoden. Then he roasts Aragorn and tries to roast Gandalf (both figuratively and literally), roasts Grima for a bit, roasts Théoden, then tries to convince Gandalf to let him go, and then gets stabbed and dies. What a way to go!

The petrified look on Pippin's face at 1:59 when Saruman declares, "you're all going to die" was just too real. 😆 He looked genuinely scared.

Even after everything Grima did to him, Theoden still wanted to help him and recognized that he was manipulated too. What was also awesome is even after Saurman tried to insult Rohan, Theoden ignored him with Kingly grace and kept the focus on helping his countryman.

2:39 i love how legolas is like: sure bro where do you want it?

Bruh why did they cut this out that was brutal for lord of the rings rip sarumaun

Never understood why this scene was cut from the theatrical version. Seems very important to the overall plot

*Saruman* : "The victory at Helm's Deep does not belong to you, Théoden "Horsemaster". You are a *lesser* son of *greater* sires. What is the House of Rohan but a thatched *barn* where *brigands* drink in the *reek* while their *brats* roll on the floor with the *dogs* ..." *Théoden* : "The *FUCK* you say about my dogs?!"

One of my favorite parts of this scene, which I find is extremely overlooked, is when Theoden talks to Grima. It's a great reflection upon his character from when we first see him come out of his "Saruman Shell" and back into his former self. He literally goes form being a man full of rage and anger at Grima to a leader who anyone in Middle Earth would want to follow. It's a great study of character. He's willing to forgive and welcome Grima back into Rohan as a former man of Rohan. It's a very great part of the scene and I enjoy how they added it into the movie.

Even after everything Theoden was willing to spare Grima in this scene.

These films are absolutely insanely good compared to literally anything made these days. It was a crime to delete this scene from a feature film

Saruman's powers of persuasion were said to be such that of all the people still alive in Middle Earth at this moment, only Gandalf, Galadriel and perhaps Elrond could hear his words without feeling at least a little swayed. Even Aragorn was unsure he could match Saruman in a battle of words.

Saruman was described by Tolkien as the most powerful of the 5 wizards and his peculiarity was his voice and speech. His voice was so powerful and his words were so well put that he sounded wise even if he was saying nonsense: indeed he was very good at diplomacy because of his charming voice. You can clearly hear it, his deep smooth voice, when he tries to persuade Theoden to form an armistice. But king Theoden refuses, in fact he wants his head, and Saruman, who considers Theoden no more than a fool on a horse, a "lesser son of greater sires", swiftly scorns him and his voice loses all its suavity, no more veils and charm but the voice of an old man.

Can we take a moment to recognize how awesome Theodens monologue was

Bruh... 20 years later, I'm just now seeing this? That movie so damn good I was satisfied without the knowledge of all these extra scenes. Now it just became even better. Gives me more content to talk about

Not sure if it’s cannon to the books but I love how powerful Saruman’s voice is. He can have a simple conversation from hundreds of feet away with someone, yet it’s so loud and vocal; even in the fellowship of the ring his voice could be heard hundreds of miles away from the mountain pass commanding a mountain to crumble. Saruman is bad ass!

When Saruman was stabbed, he reacted very realistically (people don't scream when they're stabbed in the back or the chest, but lose their breath). But when Gríma gets shot, he reacted like every movie character does when they're impaled; screaming.

its dope how sarumans voice is kinda like amplified like youre right next to him while everyone else sounds more distant, its def because one of sarumans greatest magical gifts was the power of his voice and speech

“When you hang from a gibbet… For the sport of your own crows… We shall have peace.”

What a powerful scene - never understood why they had to cut the one from the theatrical version. As a result, the cinema films have a logical hole. Since the Shire doesn't need to be liberated anymore in the movies, you'd think the old villain is still stuck in his tower. I think that Saruman ends up impaled in front of his tower in the extended version was also intended as a nod to Lee's great past as Dracula.

Very dissappointed and angered this wasn't in the theatrical cut.

I love the dialogue in this scene. It feels like genuine medieval English literature.

Rip Theoden King

This scene is slowly becoming my favorite scene in the trilogy. Just Saruman up there verbally owning everyone from his tower, even though he is trapped up there. The wizards are just on a different level, so much so that the king of Rohan seems like a peasant by comparison. All Théoden can do is emphasize that Saruman has lost, which is an easy win in the verbal arena so he's smart enough to take that angle, and he still gets owned.

2:22 Interesting that Gimli is the character we see react to these words. When Saruman says this, I think of Thorin Oakenshield, whom Gandalf encouraged to take back Erebor, and who died trying. Maybe Gimli has a sudden thought for him.

“When you hang from a gibbet for the sport of your own crows.” Goes hard ngl.

Christopher Lee was a simply incredible talent. He is much missed

Man not only does this scene give a perfect conclusion to one of the main villains of the previous movies, he also sets up a lot of the archs in this movie to come, such as Gandalf, Aragorn, and Theoden

Saruman was my favourite character, even when I was a child, there was something that was more dark and real about his character that isn't in the other characters in my eyes also, it's Christopher Lee...

It's funny how Saruman is Christopher Lee's other secondary antagonist, that serves as the primary antagonist of the second movie of a trilogy, and dies at the beginning of the third.

Theodens “we shall have peace” speech is delivered so well 👌🏻

when his staff breaks, someone yells BOOM 3:08 for dramatic effects

Possibly one of the most iconic evil wizards (aside from Voldemort, Morgoth, and Sauron himself) in all of film and literature. Though Sauron and Morgoth are technically more powerful sorcerers in Tolkien's Legendarium Saruman (with his black staff and glowing Palantir) summated the popular image of the Evil Sorcerer in early High Fantasy.

It is so heartwarming when King Theoden tries to get Grima to come down and free himself from Saruman's influence. Theoden probably understands now better than anyone how powerful Saruman's magic was and how much he can warp someone's mind. Grima did horrible things and maybe he didn't deserve any redemption, but it did look like he felt genuinely guilty when Theoden spoke to him. I'm not a big fan of the way they had Legolas kill him, but it is what it is.

Theoden, Gandalf, Saruman have such powerful voices, i can listen all day! I love this conversation, wish it was longer!

All Saruman scenes are pure gold

Got mad respect for Theoden he's a great leader and you can tell from his speech how much he values and cares for his people, not just civilians but also his soldiers and you can tell his men respect him too

SARUMAN: Victory at Helms Deep does not belong to you, Theoden horse master! THEODEN (thinking): He's right though, I really am pretty great with horses

Gandalf: Goes to place after Maiar die and gets sent back for his good deeds Saruman: goes to same place, get's rejected and sentenced to life in hell

How did he get up there. Like there’s no doors, or stairs or anything..

Damn Christopher Lee´s acting was soooo brilliant (not that I know anything about acting).. How he belittles our heroes, how almost disgusted he is, I almost want to be evil

R.I.P Bernard Hill

Grima... you were not always as you are now. You were once a doll named Chuckie!

"Gandalf does not hesitate to _sacrifice_ those closest to him...those he professes to LOVE." So powerful.

The way he says, "You are all going to die" just gives me chills. Rest in peace sir

I don't know why but I found it so hilarious when Saruman says "So you've come here for Informaetion".😂

The beautiful thing about Saruman landing on the spike at the end? Peter Jackson officially became the last director to put a stake through Christopher Lee’s heart, since he was known for playing as Dracula in the Hammer horror films. He tried to be slick about it, making sure none of the crew said anything relating to ‘driving a stake though the heart’, but as soon as Jackson said “Action”, Christopher Lee glared at the camera and said “This is strangely familiar. 20 years ago, I looked up and saw Peter Cushing. Now all the way down here in New Zealand, I look up and see Peter Jackson”
