where is the throwing knife fact????? Aragon during a fight had a stunt man slip and accidentally throw the knife at Aragon's face instead of the tree next to him yet Viggo Mortensen nwent full Jedi and deflected it with his sword!!! that's the best fact out there
If you ever do a 101 facts about Christopher Lee, make sure you include my favorite bit of LoTR trivia. When Saruman gets stabbed in the back (spoilers), Peter Jackson tried to tell him that he wasn't making the right sounds to which Mr. Lee asked Peter if he ever heard what someone sounds like when they are stabbed in the back to which Peter replied he hadn't with Mr. Lee then telling him that he has.
Nick Cage is a terrible actor. It would've made Aragorn a joke or hated in the films. The reason The Return of the King was so successful is because Viggo Mortenson became his character and made many people fall in love an respect him.
Eru Iluvatar is basically God. Eru created the Ainur, basically angels, to help create Middle-Earth. The Ainur are divided into 2 groups, the Valar, powerful angels who became gods in their own right (not unlike the Greek pantheon) and the Maiar, basically lesser angels.
jwhaler82 isn’t it weird how he’s called Eru illuvitar? That’s like saying Zeus Jupiter or something It’s just the same thing but a different name And sticking with that the other way to describe them would be Greek gods(with eru as something like Uranus or Gaia) and the maiar as demi gods

@@someclown7026 There are millions of more interesting facts to mention with those books. There's more than 101 interesting facts about characters so minor the movies never mentioned them.
Actually, Tolkien had written 13 earlier books, upon which the LOTR Trilogy was based and refined. His son, Christopher published them after his father died, collectively called The History of Middle Earth. (Not counting the Hobbit or Silmarillion)
He says that the one ring rules over all of the other rings when actually Celebrimbor crafted the three rings given to the elves in secrecy, making it so Sauron has no control over them. This is why Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel were able to wear these rings without any effect from Sauron.
I was just a kid when the trilogy came out. I loved the first movie so much that I saved my lunch money so that I can buy the books. I already had internet the time but I wasn’t aware that LOTR was really a big deal to a lot of people. I didn’t even know what Rotten Tomatoes is. 😂 I just fell in love with the lore and soon started collecting LOTR related merch like posters and toys. The wait for TTW and RotK was painfully long but every second of it was so worth it.
The greatest tale of all time..I love this movie so much I got the Witch King of Angmar tattooed on my forearm and The rings script on my finger. I also really want to make a tattoo of the door at the entrance to the mines of Moria. One ring to rule them all..One Ring to find them.. One Ring to bring them all, and in darkness, *BIND THEM* .. I love it
You are hilarious ! I loved that I not only learned some facts I was not aware of but you made it even more enjoyable to listen you. Plus I love your accent. Thanks for sharing
What a fun video! I've become a big fan of yours, of late, and look forwards to enjoying more of these factual romps! Lord of the Rings Online has what I feel is the best explanation of "hit points" ever -- Morale. As a character suffers mental and physical damage, their Morale erodes, and if it is exhausted entirely, the character _runs away_ to a rally point. Even better is that Morale can be restored not only by potions, but also by having a good meal (increases regeneration) and by friendly songs and speeches from allied characters. The use of music and speech as boon and bane is also a fun element -- Minstrels are capable of blasting even-level enemies right into the grave with a single shout in lower levels, and can still heal themselves even as they sing, play, and bellow their way through battle and frustrate the enemy with their resilient nature. Rune-keepers use the power of speech and writing to thwart foes and assist allies, often with gorgeous elemental-style effects such as lightning, fire, and ice -- but it's all really words, harsh and kind. Hobbit Minstrels are highly amusing (and potent), but the Dwarven version issues many of his shouts in Khuzdul, for an additional level of awesomeness!
How did you miss that a lot of The Riders of Rohan where women with beards glued to their face because they couldn't find enough men who could horseback ride.
so far I have gotten to fact 8 and this arent FACTS! I thought you were gonna tell som cool things that no one knew but just explaining the movie scene to scene isn't facts. Im writing this now before i continue to show you guys what a shit start this is, I will finish the video and se if I change my mind about the quality of the video. edit: after fact 10 or so the quality started to show, nice length and with some cool facts that most LOTR fans will know but also a few cool facts i have never heard about. its a thumbs up from me :D
I was a big fan of the books well before any movie or play of them. My family read the books together when I was about 12. I started reading them over and over. I read them 23 times before the first adaptation was made. You don't need a movie to love a story!
number 68 is bs. McKellen and Wood were filmed together in the scene where frodo makes tea for gandalf. On the BTS of the movies where they explain forced perspective, there is a small scene where McKellen reminds Wood not to look directly at him as they are supposedly sitting face to face (or face to... chin?^^)
Nicholas Cage: "I see in your eyes, the same fear that would take the hearth off me! A day may come, when the courage of men fail, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds and fellowships, but it is not this day! An hour of bees, and burning hay when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day, this day we fight! For all that you hold dear, on this good earth; I beg you stand, UP AGAINST THE BEES!"
Haha! It wouldn't be that interesting, really. Here's one for you just now - I stubbed my toe when I got up this morning and yelped so loud I slightly hurt my throat. Do you REALLY want 100 more of those?
24:40, the two hobbits in the middle(Im to lazy to type their names) are like wtf is going on while the hobbits on the right and left are like, yay, something good is happening.
5. The whole people-wanting-the-ring thing is actually kind of complicated. You have to read the book to fully understand. 7. Sméagol is not a hobbit. He is an ancestor of the hobbits. 8. The Fellowship actually splits up, causing the story to follow both the Ring and the rest of the Fellowship seperately. 23. The ballot was not corrupted. It chose to join Morgoth's rebellion. Though I suppose you can argue that your phrasing says the same thing, it's a little misleading. 25. It's pronounced Doon uh dine. And Aragon lived to that age because he is the descendant of a half elf. He and his brother Elrond, and their parents, were given the choice between becoming elves and men. Aragorn's race was given long life and wisdom as a result of service fighting Morgoth. 26.She was actually more like 3/4 elven, but she got the same choice as Elrond and chose human after falling in love with Aragorn. (That stupid eternal life necklace from the movie was literally just a necklace, and it didn't make an appearance until the end of the book when she gave it to Frodo.) 27. Elves do NOT have a stupid ability like walking on snow. I mean, what the heck? Why? They are just exceptionally light. 34. Strawheads was a reference to the Rohirrims' blond hair. 46. It's a natural personality thing. Shadow of War is an abomination. In conclusion: Pretty good.
25. Edit: He actually died quite young for Numenorian standards which is due to the events in the fall of Numenor. The early kings lived 300 to 400 years.
There’s 2 fans U who hate everything except the books And people who enjoy the movies and games Even if shadow or war isint canon its amazing But hey what can u do they suck a dead mans dick
Strange the fact about tolkien dying in 1973 just being mentioned quickly while it also kinda has something to do with all of it if you think about it 1973 1 to rule them all 9 rings for men 7 for the dwarve lords 3 to the elves
Also the way they used small soldiers in ww1 for important messages like the movie 1917 reminds me of frodo and Sam perhaps Tolkien inspired by these soldiers
72 isn’t entirely true. The screaming/screeching is the scream of Fran Walsh. Watch the Lord of the Rings Appendices and you can hear the original scream, and then the edited, final scream in the film.
The 3 Rings of the elves couldn't be controlled by the One Ring since they were made after Sauron's betrayal. They weren't made for raw power but to heal and protect and thus don't have the same corrupting influence as the other 16.
Also wrong elev. rings were made by celeb rim or in secret so only way the could be corrupted was of Sauron actually got a hold of them Elves are corruptible but saw the future and hid there rings Dwarves became more greedy which also worked for Sauron so he didn’t fail there And yes humans he did corrupt U guys need to start fact checking before u type or u sound dumb asf
"Who's a LOTR fan at 10, before the films came out ?" I read it for the first time at 9 (actually before, "The Hobbit, " but there you go). Of course, I went to school in Scotland.
Smeagol died at roughly 590 years old. He was possibly the only person who could have destroyed the ring. Tolkien thought that a moment where he almost repents but is distracted by Sam was the saddest part of the series.
@@johns1625 And yet he did. No one else was obsessed enough yet to go into the fire with it, and Tolkien said that he would have done so whether he betrayed Frodo of not, the only difference is that he would have done so completely deliberately.
Tolkien himself said that Lord of the Rings was less of a sequel to The Hobbit as it was a sequel to The Silmarilion. Tolkien started writing the Silmarilion before LOTR. He finished most of it, but his son put together the remainder of Tolkien’s notes himself after his father died. So it came out after LOTR, but was started before. So publicly it was seen as a sequel to The Hobbit, but its story is actually much more connected to The Silmarilion.
Well little correction Elendil was not King of Gondor alone, he was High King of both Gondor and Arnor. His sons jointly ruled as Kings in Gondor (Isildur and Anarion), Isildur had his house in Minas Ithil (Later known as Minas Morgul) and Anarion set up his house in Minas Anor (Later known as Minas Tirith) But their set their seats of power (thrones) was in Osgiliath side by side and ruled jointly. Elendil ruled Arnor in the North. at the end of the War of the Last Alliance Elendil perished along with Gil-Galad in a epic duel against Sauron (The movies depict this wrong). Anarion he got killed from thrown rock from Barad-Dur I believe.
I love all your videos, this one was amazing as lotr is one of my favorite books and movies. The only problem was the pronunciation of some words but let's be honest, some of them are hard.
Holy shit. This is an advertisement for Shadow of War. He 100% starts building up all of this hype for lord of the rings. You get pumped, it brings up such fond memories and makes you happy. So he gets about halfway through the video and he’s like, “alright, we’re gonna slowly talk about some other media that used LOTR.” Then he just slowly edges his way into talking about video games. But every single piece of media he mentions is “fucking dope.” Like, he talks this shit up like a beast. So you’ve just seen 7 or 8 fucking dope adaptations of your beloved series. Now, he’s about to talk about this one game and... oh wait, it’s new? It’s not out yet? Whoa. Oh hey, did you know you can do this awesome thing in shadow of War? Did you know they fixed this crappy thing from the first game? Did you know it’s set in between the hobbit and LOTR? Did you know... did you know.. fuck man. He’s trying to sell us a video game and it’s incredible. I bow down to you, lord factoid
Wrong again, me bucko. Christopher Lee was originally considered for the role of Gandalf ONLY because of his friendship with Tolkien who, shortly before his death, wrote in a number of letters that in the event that the books were ever made into a movie (or series of movies), that he, himself, specifically wanted Lee to play the role, believing that he was the only actor able to bring the character to life properly. Lee graciously stepped down and took the lesser role because he was confident that McKellan would be brilliant, that McKellan was the better match for the role & that his personality matched Saruman much better. It's all in the DVD extras from the extended releases.

They were somewhat still under his control. Had Sauron regained his ring the elven rings would have fallen victim to it as well
Let's see how many of these I already knew and let's see the sometimes horrendous pronunciation, love the vids though :)

101 facts about the Princess Bride would be wonderful :) Also 101 facts about Chuck Norris
Been waiting for ages for this video. And the pronunciation of the gods and ancient beings is really bad lol.
I'm glad the age of the ring has come your way
Quenya is for example pronounced "qwenya" according to the language itself.
Yeah but that is the ancient form of Elvish. Sindarin is most common.

Also wrong elev. rings were made by celeb rim or in secret so only way the could be corrupted was of Sauron actually got a hold of them
Elves are corruptible but saw the future and hid there rings
Dwarves became more greedy which also worked for Sauron so he didn’t fail there
And yes humans he did corrupt
U guys need to start fact checking before u type or u sound dumb asf

What memories
"Who's a LOTR fan at 10, before the films came out ?" I read it for the first time at 9 (actually before, "The Hobbit, " but there you go). Of course, I went to school in Scotland.
Smeagol died at roughly 590 years old. He was possibly the only person who could have destroyed the ring. Tolkien thought that a moment where he almost repents but is distracted by Sam was the saddest part of the series.
Smeagol is literally the least likely person to be able to destroy the Ring....
@@johns1625 And yet he did. No one else was obsessed enough yet to go into the fire with it, and Tolkien said that he would have done so whether he betrayed Frodo of not, the only difference is that he would have done so completely deliberately.
Tolkien himself said that Lord of the Rings was less of a sequel to The Hobbit as it was a sequel to The Silmarilion.
Tolkien started writing the Silmarilion before LOTR. He finished most of it, but his son put together the remainder of Tolkien’s notes himself after his father died. So it came out after LOTR, but was started before. So publicly it was seen as a sequel to The Hobbit, but its story is actually much more connected to The Silmarilion.
This video is hilarious. 73 is particularly absurd. Well done, mate.
I want that kiwi tie

I don’t actually think it’s ever specified that Gimli has red hair. That’s just a movie decision.
What is the song that is playing in this video? Does anyone know?
Well little correction Elendil was not King of Gondor alone, he was High King of both Gondor and Arnor. His sons jointly ruled as Kings in Gondor (Isildur and Anarion), Isildur had his house in Minas Ithil (Later known as Minas Morgul) and Anarion set up his house in Minas Anor (Later known as Minas Tirith) But their set their seats of power (thrones) was in Osgiliath side by side and ruled jointly. Elendil ruled Arnor in the North. at the end of the War of the Last Alliance Elendil perished along with Gil-Galad in a epic duel against Sauron (The movies depict this wrong). Anarion he got killed from thrown rock from Barad-Dur I believe.
Thank you
No. Thank YOU
Just want to Thank the Lord that J Law was not in the LOTR's... Thank you so much
Harry Potter cannot compare to the sheer power of the one true Lord of Fantasy, J.R.R Tolkien
Yay, Sam's back!
From Outta space!
I love all your videos, this one was amazing as lotr is one of my favorite books and movies. The only problem was the pronunciation of some words but let's be honest, some of them are hard.
Yh man like he said balrog wrong but that’s really hard
Bal-rog
Such a hard word 😂
Holy shit. This is an advertisement for Shadow of War. He 100% starts building up all of this hype for lord of the rings. You get pumped, it brings up such fond memories and makes you happy. So he gets about halfway through the video and he’s like, “alright, we’re gonna slowly talk about some other media that used LOTR.” Then he just slowly edges his way into talking about video games. But every single piece of media he mentions is “fucking dope.” Like, he talks this shit up like a beast. So you’ve just seen 7 or 8 fucking dope adaptations of your beloved series. Now, he’s about to talk about this one game and... oh wait, it’s new? It’s not out yet? Whoa. Oh hey, did you know you can do this awesome thing in shadow of War? Did you know they fixed this crappy thing from the first game? Did you know it’s set in between the hobbit and LOTR? Did you know... did you know.. fuck man. He’s trying to sell us a video game and it’s incredible. I bow down to you, lord factoid
Wrong again, me bucko. Christopher Lee was originally considered for the role of Gandalf ONLY because of his friendship with Tolkien who, shortly before his death, wrote in a number of letters that in the event that the books were ever made into a movie (or series of movies), that he, himself, specifically wanted Lee to play the role, believing that he was the only actor able to bring the character to life properly. Lee graciously stepped down and took the lesser role because he was confident that McKellan would be brilliant, that McKellan was the better match for the role & that his personality matched Saruman much better. It's all in the DVD extras from the extended releases.
