Where did you watch this movie?

In this action-oriented fantasy epic, the second instalment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, scenes begin with the aftermath of the first movie where The Fellowship has been broken. Boromir is dead, Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee have gone to Mordor alone to destroy the One Ring, Merry and Pippin have been captured by the Uruk-hai, and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli have made friends of the Rohan, a race of humans that are in the path of the upcoming war, led by its aging king, Théoden. The two towers between Mordor and Isengard, Barad-dúr and Orthanc, have united in their lust for destruction. The corrupt wizard Saruman, under the power of the Dark Lord Sauron, and his slimy assistant, Gríma Wormtongue, have created a grand Uruk-hai army bent on the destruction of Man and Middle-earth. The rebellion against Sauron is building up and will be led by Gandalf the White, who was thought to be dead after the Balrog captured him. One of the Ring's original bearers, the creature Gollum, has tracked Frodo and Sam down in search of his 'precious', but is captured by the Hobbits and used as a guide to lead them to Mt. Doom. The War of the Ring has now begun...

Goofs:
Character Error
In the scene where Eomer gets on his horse after his first meeting with Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas, you can clearly see his sword slipping out of his scabbard and falling down.

Continuity
The length of the chain in which Frodo carries the ring changes throughout the film.

Continuity
In the scene where the Rohirrim surround Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli and Éomer starts talking to them, the sunlight changes direction and intensity.

Crew/Equipment Visible
In the battle of Helm's Deep, when the Uruk-hai are about to ram the gate, a camera is seen in the left.

Factual Mistake
In the cast list for the Extended Edition, John Noble's name can be seen misspelled, "Nogle".
Trivia:
The scene where Gandalf calls for his horse and Shadowfax comes galloping across the fields and straight up to his master was achieved in the very first take.

Andy Serkis drank bottles and bottles of "Gollum juice" (a mixture of honey, lemon, and ginger) just to keep his throat lubricated for his intense vocal performance.

The Helm's Deep battle scene took four months to shoot, all of it at night.

During shooting the trilogy, Viggo Mortensen got so into character that during a conversation, Peter Jackson referred to him as "Aragorn" for over half an hour without him realizing it.
