The flying flag in The Two Towers
Let’s kick things off with a fan-favorite blooper. If you watched The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, you might have noticed that the flag during the Fall of Rohan scene. While super-dramatic, it was a complete accident. And how could it not be? Nobody has full-control over the wind when recording outdoors.
Eowyn, played by Miranda Otto, stayed in character while staring off into the distance. The flying flag really tied the scene together, hinting that Rohan was truly on the verge of destruction. Hats off to the director, Peter Jackson, for not calling “cut.” Don’t worry, we’ll get to the infamous scene in The Two Towers later on. You know the one we’re talking about.
