Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Orlando Bloom broke one of his ribs

Later Orlando says that he was the first one to "score an injury". He also said he believes the hobbits were quite jealous that they didn't get the chance to "score an injury".

2. Who said this in the segment 'Warriors of the Third Age'..."Every time I see him I see the white light"?

Answer: Orlando Bloom

Viggo Mortensen had this greeting that he apparently shared with everyone. Whenever he saw someone he walked up to them grabbed their head and headbutted them. At a party Viggo Mortensen walked up to Sala Baker, one of the stunt performers in the movie, and dared him to headbutt Orlando. Orlando then went on to say that when Sala headbutted him he saw a white light.

3. For the most part Andy Serkis did all the shots of Gollum/Smeagol on location, but there was one day where someone else played Gollum. Who was that person?

Answer: Rick Porras

Rick Porras was one of the co-producers of the movies. He said he was very embarrassed because the lycra suit that Andy Serkis had to wear did not fit him as well as Andy because he was not as muscular.

Answer: Viggo Mortensen

It was originally just going to be the actors, Barrie Osbourne, and a few costume designers, but everyone heard about the camping and a lot of others in the cast and crew joined them. They went fishing and John Rhys-Davies was very jealous because Viggo caught three fish when he had caught none.

5. Which part of the book did Peter Jackson say was his favorite?

Answer: Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli running across the plains of Rohan pursuing the Uru-khai

Viggo, Orlando, and Bret had all sustained injuries right before filming these scenes. So they were basically running for two days with a broken rib, two broken toes, and a dislocated knee. Ouch!

6. Brad Dourif who played Grima Wormtongue had to shave his eyebrows every time he came back to do his scenes.

Answer: True

He actually was off the production for an entire year and then was called back for reshoots and his girlfriend was very upset that he had to shave his eyebrows again.

Answer: 3

It took eight months to build the set of Edoras and it was torn down after seven days of filming.

8. What are the creatures called that the Urak-hai are riding on in the scene where the people of Edoras are headed to Helm's Deep?

Answer: Wargs

Peter Jackson said he was not completely happy with how the Wargs turned out, and that he would like to go back and do touchups on them. He was not able to do that because there was not enough time, because it was one of the last things shot.

9. Who nearly drowned during the filming of 'Two Towers'?

Answer: Viggo Mortensen

This happened during the scene after he falls off the cliff. The weight of his armor and weapons pulled him in a direction down the rapid river that the stunt men were not prepared for. As he floated down the river he was pulled under this cliff and nearly drowned.

10. David Wenham played Faramir, Boromir's brother. Sean Bean and David Wenham remarked on their similarity in appearance. Which facial feature did they say they had the most in common.

Answer: nose

They both remarked on how big their noses were.
