yes... the healing scene in the Minas Tirith after the Attack of the Orcs... Eowyn found unconscious and Eomer is hysterically approach her... and the rest is history... and that where Eowyn and Faramir met at the realm.... supposedly love story between them... ^_^

You forgot to mention when the three hunters take the paths of the dead and as they go deep in the mountain legolas reads the scriptures of the dead.

Well it's mithril, not mythril. Not to be picky.

Could actually read the books.....

When can I watch the extended version?

Extras from the movie on Waterloo reported the same thing!

Thank you that is a very cool story. I'm glad I got to read it

From what I know, the heroic charge of the Rohirim in the third movie would be considered the largest cavalry charge in our world as well if it were real. I don't doubt it.

​@@michaelgiertz-rath7994 The charge by the French on the English at Morlaix in 1342 possibly be up there. The most recent I no of though would be our mates across the ditch and The Charge of the 4th Light Horse at Beersheba there is a movie about this called The Lighthorsemen(1987) awesome movie.

And mostly "the rohirrim" are women!

Theoden king stands alone. Not alone. Rohirrim!!!

Feanor being some kind of traitor and kinslayer might play a small r9le in this...

@@daisiesofdoom This was before the kinslayings. He made the silmarils because he didn't get Galadriel's hair and so wanted to create something as beautiful.

The fact that feanor asked Galadriel for her hair three times and always said no but then gives gimli 3 strands is awesome

@@daisiesofdoom Feanor was better than any other Elf, the fact that many only remember his actions during the Kin slaying says a lot about how cancel culture has grown recently.

You know she might have had a thing for Gimli. The Appendix does say when he arrived in the Gray Haven she accepted his love. (Or for the exact quotes "that a Dwarf should be willing to leave Middle-earth for any love," and "and it might be said, that she obtained this grace for him.")

There are so many incredible scenes in LOTR. That scene between Eomer & Eowyn is so moving & seemingly unnoticed by most but it is one of my favorites.

it's actually 4hours and 20min with extended scenes ahaha

well last 20 minute are the credits, but yes. A whole extra hour of content and it still went by so fast I cant watch regular because of that, it feels like theres so much stuff missing

@@Drakuba It's really crazy. I watched extended for the first time in a couple years recently and I really could not tell what the added scenes are haha

@@henrikuggelberg4528 i dont eactly remember much myself, but it 3rd movie: a lot of main3 going to visit ghosts were cut. From the moment of them going into that pass, all the way to them boarding the ships a lot of that was cut in regular version. and i think in 2nd movie during the final battle, a lot of the final charge was cut, mainly the things about them deciding to do that. And gimli tooting the horn, cant remember if it was in or just gimli being cut from that whole thing. I believe a lot of ent stuff was cut as well, as well most of the post battle stuff there but thats about all i remember :D i think theres a vid of top 10 scenes from extended that didnt made the main cut on youtube

It's 4h12min (4h1min without Credits)

Yep, agreed...I was disappointed with this approach taken by PJ in regards to the power difference between Gandalf The White and The Witch King...Gandalf The White would totally curb-stomp The Witch King...I was also disappointed they didn't include the Warg attack at the Fellowship's night camp in Hollin, this was a major missed opportuntiy to include an incredible action scene...

Yup...if I could make my own custom edit this scene would be gone entirely. Gandalf would have destroyed him.

Exactly, I'm glad you mentioned that. I feel like that other writer, I forgot her name, probably added this part in the movies where the witch king DESTROYS GANDALF'S STAFF???, to try to make him look powerful.... Except it's completely stupid and unexplained and really doesn't fit with the coolness of the story. She's thinking of it like a magic harry potter story, instead of like the believable, almost historical, mythical world that Tolkien revealed to us.

@@jonathanwilliams1974 Exactly, Gandalf would have been like a great white flame, and a terrible presence to the Witch King. The fight may have gone thus: Gandalf would have spoken to him perhaps in his own tongue. He would have told him to go and tell his master to call off the attack, that he was outmatched now, and to sink back into the shadows from whence he came... The Witch King, in his anger, and feeling emboldened by his master's influence over him, would have tried to attack Gandalf with all of his darkened rage, holding his dark sword aloft, embued with the energies of his dark master, but Gandalf would have revealed the light of the Maiar, a greater power than the Witch King had ever before beheld. The Witch King would have begun to fear at the overwhelming site of this new Gandalf, Bearer of this Greatest Light, and his boldness would become confusion... He indeed would have fled, just like he did in the book, but had he been foolish enough to try to attack Gandalf the White, he would have melted in the sheer pain and agony of this power, his blade falling to the ground, his eyes burning with the heat and light of this Unbearable foe. His very essence would have been weakened by this presence and his only thought would be to flee and cower into the darkness. Yet, if he had continued on, the very presence of this Gandalf would have "burned" him and caused his weakened form to evaporate into the nothingness, that same nothingness that awaited him and his master, which Gandalf commanded him to return to in the books. So we see, Gandalf was the more powerful of the two, though the Witch King did not know it yet..........

Gandalf struggled in all three movies, and it's more interesting that way, you know, it's easier to sympathize with the underdog. I think that's the reason they 'scale down' his power.

Pretty outrageous thing to cut, in fairness. I know it was for runtime, but honestly -- just cut pratically anything else.

@@final_animal Agree! The third film was much longer than the previous two; the DVD versions even longer. If the LOTR series cannot be cut, then cut out all of the Hobbit trilogy. All of it! They are expendable!

Same, I refuse to watch the theatrical cuts. Same with the hobbit trilogy.

@@Hockeyhobo89 Extended Always Better!!

this scene was already in the original theatrical release.

I watched it, how is it deleted?

its included in the movie, are you sure you are watching?

That scene wasn't deleted

Let's get some more people saying the scene isn't deleted, I don't think 4 is enough

Nope it is beaten by the clone troopers storming India anna jones in the temple of doom, whilst fending of hordes of mountain trolls. The sun rises early that day, and blod was bled galore, the seas died red and the lands grew from the corpses of the dead, all at last a power sprung from the dead skull, of king Aragon. A mallormorny flower capable of replenishing even the most dying of gardens and so Arwen picked It and planted deep inside her garden, watching as Aragons soul grew out in beautiful flowers and trees.

That was to boost sales. The extended versions went on sale a year after the original version, and just a couple months before the release of the next movie (they released one movie a year to theatres for three years). It was a great and successful marketing scheme. This way they ended up with six different movie sales, two different box sets and because it was also the time of transitioning from DVD to Blu-Ray, two of each as well. Only three movies but 12 total DVD and Blu-Ray releases plus multiple Box set releases, first on DVD and then on Blu-Ray. Cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching. Collectors bought them all!

@@richardsavoie2857 Not me. I ONLY bought the extended cut.

@@NuisanceMan good move. I was a sucker and bought them all. Now they're all gone and lost and were a waste of money :(

Shame he can't hold a sword.

The horse doesn’t know CGI is going to put in a fell beast.. :D

What I think is that people forget the books and the film were two differant mediums, to show the great age in the books we have Tom, discriptions of ruins and Old man Willow, in the movies to show great age we have scenes of ruins, Weathertop ruins, and fallen statues.

I just watched the trilogy and as a lifelong LOtR's fan I thought it was pretty good. Not everything can be included but Jackson did a great job. My only complaint is the Balrog. It was too big and I don't believe Balrogs had wings.

@@dolam When I read this I come to think that it's kind of odd that they're portrayed as giant demons in the movie. But that would've looked kind of weird if this was the same kind of creature that participated in the Fall of Gondolin. There was not only one Balrog there, but a whole bunch of them, and they had a leader as well. And the elves of Gondolin rode out and faced them head on, on the battlefield. Furthermore, I can understand that Peter wanted to portray the Balrog as fearsome and powerful, so yeah - logically - big, dark and strong would be a go to, if it wasn't for the wonderful portrayal of Saruman. He wasn't big, didn't have wings, but damn was he fearsome and powerful! Still, if we're to actually critizice Peter Jackson for this, he makes the same mistake over and over again in most of the dark encounters (except for the black riders), so I rather choose to think that this is a vision of fear that struck the fellowship. And spreading fear was, after all, the true power of the Balrog?

@@Aracne80 Great points. I agree.

Wow that’s super interesting

Damn I want to see! Awesome

It's in the extended DVD boxed set - about nine discs. They discover for all of Saruman's scorn on those who smoked pipeweed he had a substantial stash hidden away in a small barrel in one of the kitchens. Look for [Merry and Pippin-Deleted Scene] "It's perfect, one barrel each!"

A Warning for brief use of drugs? That is a weird thing.

@@1981brrf not really. Its required for any film, involving the use of drugs whether the drugs be real or, not pipeweed, I'm sure is comparable to that of normal human weed

that would mean nearly 46 days of your life has been dedicated to watching one trilogy...worth it

@@FirstNameLastnName and I will do it again, still looks amazing !

@@kuckoo9036 😂😂😂😂an awesome deduction my friend 👍👍👍

Dunedain is where he gets the long life from

The numoreans life span decreasing isn’t a result of Sauron but a result of their elven blood being diluted with each generation, as all numoreans are descended from elros who was Elrond’s brother who choose the mortality of men over the immortality of eleves.

@@chaycowdry7654 A good point nicely put. .But as in a lot of Tolkiens Work its open to interpretation.

Best fan theory I’ve ever seen…

@@TheMovieSecrets thank you

I actually asked John Howe at a book signing, if he knew about the recipe for that soup!

@@darkovusir7724 and what did he said?

sure, but while its not book canon, i like to think that the witch king was channeling Saurons power at that moment where hes gathering fire to his sword, to keep Gandalf as canon power level as possible

Yes that seemed off they didnt even Fight and Gandalf killed a balrog while still being the grey so witch King was too OP in the movie

so many people hold this view but Tolkien also left it ambiguous in the book. He clearly did this for a reason. Gandalf is a Maia but he's still not in his spiritual form, as you probably know his powers are more limited while in Middle Earth. The Witch-king has also been buffed by Sauron, a Maia greater than Gandalf. In the passage it's abundantly clear that the Witch-king is confident he can best Gandalf, and Gandalf is just as confident he can stop the Witch-king. Tolkien teased us but also sewed the seed of doubt in our minds. Also the prophecy favoured the Witch-king in the particular duel. I'd say the lack of backstory to Denethor and the removal of Scouring are both far more anti Tolkien. Although all of these changes weren't necessary bad ones for a movie adaptation.

@@MrSRA13Gandalf the Grey hand to hand killed a Balrog. A maiar monster who whipped dragons to drive them to war.

@@SvenTviking yes. Context is still everything. Sauron is still Sauron and if he essentially buffed the Witch-king then that can't be overstated. There's also nothing to suggest Balrogs whipped dragons but in certain drafts of the Fall of Gondolin it's suggested then rode them but I believe ultimately Tolkien dispelled the idea and also decided there were fewer Balrogs. Gandalf the Grey also fought off all of the nine...under a different context and situation. Tolkien still doesn't make it obvious that Gandalf would have won and that's right there in the body of the text.

The Silmarillion tells that tale very well. I actually thought Aragorn was around 200 years old at this stage of the film, but yea, he was the last of his kind and cursed to lose their immortality for falling for Saurons trickery. Also the same event that caused the elves to remove their longevity was also how Sauron died the physical death. The original battle in that book exceeds those of LOTR. When dragons and balrogs were plenty.

Theyre long af but soooo worth it

Because you didn't watch It at cinema

@@pasquale7411 Yeah, I used to live in the countryside when I was little. Going to the cinema was not part of my childhood

Kind of dumb that Aragorn killed him IMO, but a great scene -- really well acted and great character design. The death of Sauruman was the only deleted scene that I think was completely essential, it was crazy to cut that out, but the mouth of Sauron was another favourite of mine.

They believed it would confuse the audience.

And let Arwin there... as she has done something..

Sauron fears him and I wanted to see suaron come face to face with Tom

She did indeed. In fact Galadriel refused Fëanor's request three times. Hence why she gives Gimli three strands of her hair and not just one.

Númenórean's don't have elf blood, they were men who lived a very long time and were in all ways (intelligence, strength, courage, ect.) stronger than normal men. They were made that way as a reward for helping to defeat Morgath at the end of the first age of the world. They were also given the great island of Númenór in the sea west of Middle Earth but also had colonies on the main continent. Númenór itself was destroyed at the end of the second age, but a few of their descendants are still hanging around by the time of the film.

Not all Numenorians are descended from Elros, only the line of Kings, of which Aragorn is. Technically Aragorn marries his cousin.

@@VadulTharys -- His cousin, 100+ times removed.

You are right. Aragorn descended from Elros, brother of Elrond, who chose to be a man at the end of the first age. In addition from descending from Elvish blood, his great great foremother was Melian, the mother of Luthien, and first elf to wed a mortal, Bergen. Melian was a “Maia’s” and had wed Thingol, one of the Lords of the Teleri clan of Elves.

The ring was corrupting him. When he forces Frodo to use the ring to escape, he realizes it and snaps out of it. He redeemed himself trying to save Merry and Pippin. It's a very big scene.

The only scene that was truly essential for the plot here was Sauruman's death, they really could have cut so many other scenes before that one in the three-hour runtime.

SAME!

The missing scenes add 3 hours to the total movies. Definitely worth watching on a rainy day or if you're sick and can't get off the coach. The music and story are great when you can't go anywhere :)

@@TheRainman614 #1: 20 minutes #2: 30 minutes #3: 45 minutes Less than 2 hours in total

all of aragorn’s ancestors are human except elros brother of Elrond and their mother. elros was half elf who chose to live among men. elrond chose to live as an elf. these two are sons of earendill a man and an elf woman i can’t remember her name. and thousands of years separate aragorn from elros. beren and luthien are parents (i think) of mother of elrond and elros

Aragorn's Maternal Grandmother was named Ivorwen, and she was of the race of Men. One of her distant ancestors was Elros Half Elven. All of the Dunedain of the North were long lived, but mortal.

It wasn't Mordor,it was Thangorodrim in the north of Middle Earth.

Not a deleted scene

I agree. I have marked that in the book. I also like when he explains to Pippen the land after death

It always pissed me off that, in the scene after the beheading of the Mouth, his body is not even desplayed on the ground (horse included). Totally gone. And the shot is a landscape framing of Aragorn standing in front of the open Black Gate. Maybe that's one of the reason why they removed this scene? Who knows...

yeah that would have been what? Another three minutes in the film?

According to Jackson in the blu-ray commentary, the Mouth of Sauron scene was cut as it doesn't have the same affect on the viewer as it does when someone reads the book. At this point in the book, we don't actually know the fate of Frodo and Sam. Whereas in the movie, we do know they are still alive so the scene isn't really tricking us.

Christopher Lee, who played Saruman, was not pleased when he learned that this scene was cut from the theatrical version. He felt it was too important to leave out.

But completely wrong. Saruman was killed in the Shire, outside Bag End.

In the trilogy, Saruman was killed in the Shire .. by Grima Wormtongue. So that part of the movie scene is true to the books. And the murder was a result of Saruman's verbal abuse. The more Saruman's status collapsed, the more he took it out on Grima .. till Grima snapped. So the scene captures that as well.

Definitely the main one that shouldn't have been removed, there were so many other scenes that should have been chopped before that one.

He wasn't just displeased, he refused to go on press tours despite being contractually obliged to do so and later said that he would never forgive Jackson for cutting the scene. He went to the premier and then they never saw each other again. I don't blame him really, very strange decision to cut that scene.@@Blunderman-rl1hc

Because he doesn't die in Isengard. Both he and Gríma Wormtongue flee. They make it to the Shire, corrupts and oppress it with help of the Sackville-Baggins. There he dies when the Hobbits return and instigate an uprising against the oppressors... Ironically being murdered by Gríma.

In the book version, Saruman was killed by Wormtongue, but in the Shire, not at Orthanc.

One of the worst editing decisions ever, and the principal reason why I insist that the Extended Editions are the only version to watch. Christopher Lee was reportedly furious at the premiere, and Jackson reinstated the scene for the EE as an olive branch. And yeah I know it deviates from the book, but the movie already had like 6 different endings, it definitely didn't need another one to show the Scouring of the Shire. But leaving Saruman's death out altogether? Absolutely unforgivable imo.

I geek out when he cast a fireball. Wizard should cast spell at least. Though saruman cast a blizzard at Caradhras, telekenesis and mind control
