"LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!"."You have no power here" is a popular macro, complete with senile Théoden's laughing face." Po-Ta-Toes! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew." THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD!!" With the bonus of Orlando Bloom actually performing the song in costume on his very last day of playing Legolas in The Hobbit.He's notably the only orc in the trilogy who Legolas does not kill with one shot. The Uruk-Hai who blows up the walls of Helms Deep.It's said that the One Ring could have been destroyed if it was dropped into it. Especially since we hadn't yet seen the dramatic shot of him pushing open the doors that was in all the ads. Like You Would Really Do It: Show of hands for anyone, even if you know nothing about the books, who actually bought that Aragorn would be randomly killed off halfway through this film.It is a reference to Thermopolyae, where three hundred Spartans killed ten thousand Persians. When Legolas is talking to Aragorn before the Battle of Helm's Deep, he refers to three hundred against ten thousand.Christopher Lee would later work with metal bands like Rhapsody of Fire and Manowar, as well as release two Concept Albums of his own: Charlemagne. Treebeard commenting that Saruman now has a mind of metal.So alternate universe Bilbo and Smaug have three seasons of a detective show! Very slowly".) Then in The Hobbit trilogy Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch from Sherlock were both cast.
Peter Jackson joking about giving Treebeard his own spin-off detective show in the commentary ("He solves crimes!. 
How? Bilbo would have infiltrated Smaug's lair, then stabbed him through the bare spot in his chest with Sting (which went so deep it vanished completely), and then ride a golden bowl like a surfboard on the massive amount of blood pouring out of Smaug's belly before triumphantly exiting the mountain.
Legolas riding the Uruk-hai shield like a surfboard becomes a lot funnier when you learn that Tolkien originally intended for Bilbo to kill Smaug in the earliest drafts of The Hobbit. After seeing what Thranduil was like in The Hobbit trilogy, it's entirely possible that Legolas might not want to be associated with his father. Harsher in Hindsight: When Aragorn introduces himself and his companions to Eomer, he mentions both his father and Gimli's, but only refers to Legolas as being from the woodland realm. What were the tens of thousands of uruk-hai doing for him to have been so caught by surprise at their presence at Isengard? Playing hide and seek? He's last seen running away from Theoden's wrath, so he presumably traveled to Saruman at least partly on horseback (let's face it: he ain't exactly the world's running champion). Fridge Logic: The sequence where Wormtongue is Instantly Proven Wrong when he proclaims that there is no force large enough to take Helm's Deep really makes no sense in hindsight. It was such a great take that it made the final cut of the film. This scream was only partially acting it was also tied up in the fact that Viggo Mortensen had just broken a toe kicking a heavy, steel helmet whilst wearing soft leather boots. Enforced Method Acting: When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli find the pyre of Uruk-hai and believe their friends are dead, Aragorn kicks an Orc helmet like a football, then sinks to his knees with a heart-rending scream. That's quite frightening, until he yells " Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!" and the other orcs and uruks starts ripping the corpse apart within seconds. Crosses the Line Twice: The Uruk ring-leader decapitates a hungry orc who tries to eat Merry and Pippin. Peter Jackson wasn't nominated for Best Director. No nomination for Andy Serkis' mesmerizing work as Gollum, with his chances almost certainly being hurt by motion capture bias from the academy. The score became eligible again, though it did not receive a nomination. This rule was very unpopular, and was quickly abandoned. Initially, Howard Shore's score was deemed ineligible for the Academy Awards because of a new rule which stated that scores featuring themes used in a previous movie were not eligible for submission.The film lost Best Picture to Chicago at the Academy Awards.
