Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Legolas

After Grima stabs Saruman in the back, Legolas lets loose yet another amazing shot and drives an arrow through Grima's chest. Theoden is willing to forgive Grima, saying that he was formerly a man of Rohan, while Pippin becomes curious about the palantir that falls from Saruman's grasp. Eowyn is not present in this scene.

Answer: Eomer

This is one of the few scenes given to Karl Urban in all of "The Return of the King". He absolutely shines later on, when he finds his sister on the battlefield of the Pelennor and believes her to be dead.

3. The Extended Edition shows a longer sequence involving Pippin's curiosity over the palantir getting the better of him. Which of the following occurs first?

Answer: Aragorn speaks with Eowyn in the hall

Aragorn exits the sleeping chambers, speaks briefly with Eowyn in the main hall, walks outside to talk to Legolas, and then Pippin replaces the palantir in the sleeping Gandalf's grasp with the pitcher. Afterwards, Gandalf brushes Merry aside to revive Pippin.

Answer: Foolhardy

The juxtaposition of the words "hardy" and "foolhardy" in this scene is so very amusing! And it is so poignant how Merry describes always getting Pippin in trouble, and how he would always be there to get Pippin out of trouble.

Answer: Faramir

Faramir mentions to Pippin that the livery used to belong to a young boy who gave more thought to slaying dragons than to his studies. Of course, the young boy was Faramir!

Answer: The green signal light erupts from Minas Morgul

All of the events on the balcony happen first, as Gandalf muses on the "deep breath before the plunge". The signal light is, of course, witnessed first-hand by Frodo, Sam, and Gollum, who are at the base of Stairs of Cirith Ungol when this happens.

7. In an added scene, Merry speaks about knowing that he can't save Middle-Earth, but that he does want to see his friends again. Who is he speaking with?

Answer: Eowyn

Eowyn and the immediate company around her are the only ones aware that Merry (as well as Eowyn herself, for that matter) has traveled with the Army of Rohan, against the wishes of King Theoden.

Answer: Gothmog

Gothmog almost ends up killing Eowyn, but is fortunately disposed of by Aragorn as he, Legolas, and Gimli sweep the Pelennor Fields with the Army of the Dead. Shagrat, Gorbag, and the Mouth of Sauron are nowhere near the battle. It is also interesting to note that Lawrence Makaore, who played "Lurtz" in "The Fellowship of the Ring," plays both the Witch King of Angmar and Gothmog!

Answer: True

The movie screenplay contrasts with the book, where this scene occurs *after* the destruction of the One Ring.

10. In the Extended Edition, we see the Captains of the West confront the Mouth of Sauron before the Black Gates of Mordor. Who slays this evil minion of the Dark Lord?

Answer: Aragorn

Aragorn loses patience with the Mouth of Sauron and disposes of him with one swift stroke from Anduril. Gimli mutters quietly that the negotiations are concluded!
