The Top 16 Surprises in the Lord of the Rings Movie
16. One bottle of elfin grog + a hot tub + three young Hobbit hotties = PAR-TAY!!!
15. The unexpected return of dancing legend Joey Heatherton!
14. During the Moria scenes, you can actually catch a glimpse of the geeks already lined up for Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers.
13. Gandalf proclaims, "If we don't destroy this ring, the terrorists win."
12. Lots of hard-core Hobbit-on-Hobbit action.
11. The tap dancing is awesome, thanks to choreography from Lord of the Dance Michael Flatley.
10. *NSYNC do a cameo as no-talent boy band on-stage at The Prancing Pony.
9. If you look closely, the map of the Shire shows three Starbucks locations.
8. Just like in real life, all men who touch the ring are forced to "try and be more sensitive," curtail their beer drinking, and go shopping for fabric on weekends.
7. You gotta be kidding -- the ring goes THERE?!?
6. All those elves, and nobody's making anything even resembling a toy or a cookie.
5. Frodo's constantly saying, "Why, Gandalf, what a large, rigid staff you have!"
4. Elf queen Winona Ryder tries to shoplift the ring from Zales at the Middle Earth Mall.
3. New character, The Bobbitt, always running around screaming, "Where's the other half of my sword?!?!"
2. Not a single one of the characters uses a light-up goblet like the one I got at Burger King.
and the Number 1 Surprise in the "Lord of the Rings" Movie...
1. "...and starring Jerry Mathers as Thebeavor."
==================================
Among the "honorable mentions":
Agent Smith is an elf!!!
Aragorn saying to Sauron, "Hello. My name is Aragorn of Gondor. You killed my sire. Prepare to die."
Elves giggle uncontrollably every time someone says "Bilbo."
One Orc is wearing rainbow suspenders and is heard to say, "Na-noo, Na-noo."
Sauron: "Frodo... I'm your father...."
The prosthetic pointy ears confirm what we suspected all along -- EVERYTHING looks good on Liv Tyler.
Product tie-ins hamper movie, like when the warriors come across an Arby's in the forest.
Runes on the doors of Moria actually say "Watch out for the freakin' octopus!!!" in Elvish.
Thanks to a product placement deal with LifeSavers, the rings of power come in a tasty array of five fruity flavors. |
