LotR: TT LE - Gimli & Aragorn Rehearse

[Lightice1]

How is this scene possible? Rhys-Davies is taller than Viggo Mortensen, yet he somehow seems dwarf-height without kneeling like he usually did in these shots if forced perspective was impractical...

[chaser244]

@Lightice1 If you look closely when Rhys-Davies is walking away in the end you can see the platform that Viggo stood on to gain the necessary height.

[pagielme4ever]

John Rhys- Davies is awesome: he's one of the few who managed to embody his character (others that come to mind are Gandalf, Sam, & Aragorn), heck, he IS Gimli! I mean Really nailed down his character, love him for that!

[ElmerAwesome]

Distinct from you other miserable cow-clanking buggers

[Ihatethecamra]

lol, you boogers.



[JJtronlady]

John is so funny.

[jess401]

cow clanking buggers. hahhaha

[mandm23sisters23]

lol john rhys- davies is acctually the tallest

[Anonimus1111011]

Is the shorter one John Rhys-Davies' double? Because they sounded the same...

[JudiLoVEsMJ]

@Anonimus1111011

thats HIM!!! He's shorter because everyone else were standing on platforms XD

[Anonimus1111011]

@JudiLoVEsMJ Haha you're right, I just noticed. :)

[JudiLoVEsMJ]

@Anonimus1111011

:)

[Invincnerd]

SO THAT'S HOW THEY DID IT!

EVERYONE were standing on PLATFORMS! xD

[yankeemhi]

lol gimli is the best

[Sauron012]

'Hayeeahh! Now there's a real man! Can't abide the stink from you cow-cranking buggers.' lol xD

[EmmarilGreenleaf]

yes yes Gimli has to speak for you

[greypilgrim26]

what are they shooting on there? That's not 35mm.

[WingedWolf121]

wait...in the black and white does he say Elvish white pecans? Thats how it sounds...

[unstrungzero]

@WingedWolf121 LOL I'm pretty sure it's "Elvish White be damned."

[peacecanhappen27]

@unstrungzero, it's Elvish wife be damned

[Ihatethecamra]

@unstrungzero no he said "elvish white meat"

[LadyOfNargothrond]

Do these limited editions have much footage that isn´t in the, say, extended editions??

[unstrungzero]

@LadyOfNargothrond The LE just have never-before-seen Behind the Scenes stuff, MOVIE-WISE they have the same theatrical and extended editions that have previously been released. So the LE is really just for diehard fans who care about the process of filming.

[AshenPhoenix]

@unstrungzero So does that mean the Extended edition has all the same commentaries and deleted movie scenes, but not the same making-of extras like this that the Limited edition does? I'm so confused. I don't want to miss any extras, and this'll be the first DVD set of LOTR I've bought, so I want to get the 'right' one. :(

[unstrungzero]

@AshenPhoenix The Limited Edition DVDs have both the Theatrical and Extended versions of the movies, and each movie has one bonus disc of about 2 hours of behind-the-scenes features that have not been seen before. The Extended Edition DVDs are actually better in my opinion because they have 2 bonus discs PER MOVIE of hours and hours of interviews and making of features and they have the 4 different commentaries on the actual movies themselves.

[MissJosephinie]

it´s sooo weird to see gimli tall!

[LOTRLouise]

"You are miserable cow-clanking buggers!" hahaaa

[LOTRLouise]

Hahaha at 0:48

[5seba56]

everyone is standig up a platform thats a little bit higher then the ground, so it looks like he is small

[smallville14fan]

GIMLI IS THE BEST CHARACTER EVER! "toss me..." "NOT THE BEARD" "THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE!"

[pianolar]

@smallville14fan i have to disagree very slightly. i think legolas is the best. but your quotes are some of my favorite! along with, "what did i tell ya? he can't hold his liquor..."

[LadyOfMithril]

A wench is the middle ages name for a woman

[94aragorn1]

one of those laughs at the end sounded like my grandmothers...

[peacecanhappen27]

btw foolhardy is a compliment coming from Gimli, (not that it isn't true lol!)

Gimli: "...foolhardy wench I've ever met" *hugs Aragorn*

Aragorn: "wench?"

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah­ahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! best blooper ever!

[abcasd1]

so how did they make him short? kneel?

[unstrungzero]

Like the hobbits, he either knelt down, others stood on boxes/raised platforms, OR they used his stunt/scale double.

[Mellenzz95]

@abcasd1 they normally use special computer effects to make them smaller. Also, for the hobbits I think they said they used children for some scenes (but you could only see the backs of them)

[unstrungzero]

@Mellenzz95 Children were only used a handful of times, usually there were just dwarfs or similar shorter people. John Rhys Davies' stunt/scale double wasn't a dwarf, though, since he was supposed to be taller than the hobbits, he was just a short man.

[Priest22]

@unstrungzero Short man? I think he was one of the tallest people of the cast.

[unstrungzero]

@Priest22 I said his stunt/scale double was a short man, not John Rhys Davies; to stay in scale with the dwarfs that were the doubles for the Hobbit actors.

[peacecanhappen27]

they make him seem small by movie magic. lolz! he actually called him 'wench' lol! "now there's a man, unlike you cow-clunking buggers" lolz! <3 Gimli

[H3XZOc]

wench = what?

[peacecanhappen27]

listen to the clip, Gimli calls Aragorn a wench the first time around lol!

[padfootrocksmysocks]

god DAMN he's tall! i always forget... lol

[greatlotrfan]

GIMLI IS THE BEST xDDD

[Bernardatious]

brilliant

[dimstam10]

what gimli says?i cant understand

[xplorersam]

its funny in real life the actor playing gimli was the tallest person there he was 6 foot 2 i think :P

[freshlybakedsporks]

"wench?!" lol

[Vikingwerefox]

"Miserable, cow-cranking buggers" lol

[Terradreamer]

I love how much Jon Reese Davis (sp?) gets in to the part of Gimli despite HATING having to don all the make-up.

[BradStaubin]

Wasn't he allergic to it though?

[LadyArwenFC]

geez he is tall lol i though gimli is small lmao

[speedlewolfe]

OH Gimli! he just makes my day....uhh my only dream would be to that middle earth actually existed and Faramir was mine!!!! and the Gimli Legolas Aragorn and the hobbits would all live with us!! oh and Gandalf ofcourse!!!

[padfootrocksmysocks]

"wench"... lmao.

Viggo's laugh... ^^

[godalenvgs]

I've never seen this before:O I'v got the special extended edition, what's diffrent with the movie in the limited edition?

[unstrungzero]

There are no differences in the MOVIE with the Limited Edition, the DVDs just have both the extended version and the theatrical version. The only thing different is that instead of all the special discs of features in the EE, the LE just has one disc each movie with an hour and a half/two hour behind the scenes feature of things not previously seen before. Which is why I posted all these videos. :)

[godalenvgs]

okki^^ thank you wery much^^

[NessieGamgee]

There are so many scenes that didn't make it to the film unfortunately :(

But it's great to catch a glimpse of them on the behind the scene stuff :D

[okamiamaterasu1993]

xD Where is the queen rofl

[ronvins]

i love viggos laugh!!

[ElessarandBrego]

I love Viggo's reaction! "Wench? Where's the queen?"

[OBlover23]

*COW CRANKING BOOGERS!*

[gianttaco12345]
