We received the extended verison of "Return of the King" DVD for Christmas. We got to see the scenes of the evil wizard Saurman and how he died...violently. (They were cut out of the original theatrical verison). Some of the brand new scenes were very cool, especially the battle as well as the hilarious one of Gimli and Legolas trying to out-drink each other. :D

Anyone got the extended version? If so, what do you think of it? ;)
 
I haven't got it yet, but I hope Blockbuster will give those out to rent...hopefully.
 
I've seen it, the extra scenes are AWESOME. It was so long, but I really enjoyed watching Return of the King. I don't have it on DVD yet but I will some day.
 
Yes, the extended verison has about 50 minutes of new footage with extra scenes, making it nearly five hours of watching on one sitting. :D
 
I wonder if they left the slip-up in the movie. I was watching it in theaters last year and noticed that one scene seemed to be playing backwards. It was one part where the camera was panning across the scenery from the fields, over the houses, up the hill, to the castle. What I noticed was that the smoke was going into chimneys instead of out. I also noticed the flags waving weirdly... as if the movie was being played backwards. Seems that they filmed it one way, then realized that it looked more dramatic the other way so they played it backwards. :dunno:

Hmm....I didn't notice it. Was it in the beginning, or close to the ending?

It was near the beginning. I don't remember exactly when though. When the camera pans to the castle, it zooms in to the front steps to the king or whoever is standing there. That's the part I'm talking about.
