Trivia: The scene where Aragorn’s army assembles in front of the Black Gate of Mordor was shot in a desert that was used by the army as a training field. Because it was still littered with mines and bombs that hadn’t gone off, the army had to sweep the field with metal detectors to make the danger for the actors and extras acceptable at least.
Goofs: Continuity: In the scene of Theoden’s death, a black line appears and disappears between shots on the right side of Eowyn’s forehead, over her eyebrow.
