The Hobbitseries is a trilogy of gigantic works stem from JRR Tolkien ’s leger of the same name . Somehow , they craftedthree hugely challenging filmsfrom a comparatively brusque work , and , in most style , it did n’t go quite as well as they ’d hope .
While the serial does n’t live up to itsLord Of The Ringsbrothers , it has just as many blunders . We ’ve take a look at ten of the most interesting continuity errors from across all three films .
Betsy Butterbur Doesn’t Open Her Mouth
While not a particularly prominent character , Betsy Butterber still has a few line inThe Desolation Of Smaug . alas , due to a lack of attention or perhaps some overlooked poor redaction , the actress who plays her is never seen with her oral cavity clear . Continuity errors like this are always particularly puzzling . How did this make it to the final cut ? Because it ’s not like it ’s subtle and missable when a character speak without displace their mouth- you notice is directly off .
Wargs Paws Clop Like Hooves
Wargs are a uniquely shivery model of JRR Tolkien ’s originative brain . They reckon like wolves but there are hints of various terrifying animals confound in for good measure , creating a snarling beast control by the as scaryOrcs .
They are shown to have tramp mitt much like dogs , but when their Orc masters sit out on them , there is a perceptibly horse - like magazine - clopping sound as they scamper off . perhaps they have really long , really dense toenail that clop along the ground .
Drunk Elves Aren’t A Thing
We see right smart back inReturn Of The Kingthat alcohol has no impingement on elves . Elves themselves already have a band conk out on ( living for thousands of years , for example ) so they needed a weakness somewhere along the phone line . Lore is something particularly authoritative to committedLord Of The Ringsfans , and something you ’d recall Peter Jackson would be on top of , having directed every entry in the serial publication . However , this finicky piece of information is not only passed by and disregard but play as a especially important plot point that sends drunken hob to sleep after only a few bottles .
Dry Hair
Outside Mirkwood Forest , it ’s rain down passably heavily . Gandalf leaves and they have to remain firm around in some particularly heavy rainwater . Not only is it made clear that the rain is all CGI as it barely interact with the faces of the cast , but everyone except Thorin has whole wry tomentum .
Unless they ’re all rocking some peculiarly telling hairspray , there is no way that each fictitious character would be so bone juiceless . Why did they even manipulate the rain anyway ? If they ’d have made certain to shoot the vista when it was rain , every element of it would have been far more credible .
Even More Dry Hair
Fast - promotion to 2013’sAn Unexpected Journeynow , and while the storyline has progressed , it ’s nice to see that their technical art and attention to detail has n’t . When Bilbo , Gandalf , and the dwarves are riding through another particularly grueling patch of rain , they all still seem to be pretty much resistant to rain .
It ’s so heavy that you ’d expect some much wetter whisker , and for it to interact far more realistically with thing like Gandalf ’s chapeau . Instead , it all just sort of thuds dully onto their wearing apparel , doing a whole lot of nothing .
CGI Through The Floor
When the heroes ofThe Hobbitare captured by hobgoblin , we find out that they are n’t as solid as they seem . Well , sort of . As these hobgoblin are CGI ( maybeThe Hobbitshould have taken a leaf out of theStar Warsbook and used tool ) , the editor program have to have a particularly fine - tooth coxcomb to make certain everything is as realistic as possible .
unluckily , one little moment is skipped over , and it allows one of the hobgoblin ’s metrical unit to slide directly into the bridge he is walking on , just like a bug in a video game .
Gandalf’s Two Swords
There is a lot going on with Gandalf ’s blade during the view in the goblin stronghold . At first , he ’s using it like normal . Then we see him using it while it is also intelligibly in his scabbard that is next to him ( two sword ? ) but then he terminate up using it normally once more and the scabbard is clearly empty .
It is n’t the only sword - ground issue in this film , though . afterwards on , Thorin is awaiting rescue with his brand by his side , but when he ultimately gets pick up , the sword is on top of him instead . No one can pick something up that chop-chop .
Impossible Horn Playing
The final moving picture inThe Hobbitseries , The Battle Of The FiveArmies , pretty much gives over an intact three - minute picture to a foresightful , long battle . After this peculiar battle is over and we see a nongregarious car horn player in Dale nail out a air , a lot of musical things do n’t quite add up . At one point , we hear two notes at once .
While not altogether impossible , the guy execute the automobile horn must have had some specially impressive education . Later on , he plays three note at once . Now , this one is impossible . So the only way to explain this wrongdoing is via some sorting of charming horn .
Gandalf’s Hobbit Hands
From their very central role in the entireLord Of The Ringsfranchise , we ’re reasonably familiar with just how belittled Hobbits are . Gandalf looms over Frodo in the original film just as much as he does Bilbo in these picture show . It does n’t make much horse sense , then , why Gandalf ’s hired hand seems to shrivel down to Hobbit size ( or vice versa ) when he and Bilbo say goodbye at the ending of the celluloid . Maybe Gandalf just has really small manpower . Or magic hands that match those of whom he is shaking ?
Clean Sword
One of the most interestingfights in the filmshows Bolg killing Kili and Azog killing Fili . They ’re both the same species , so you ’d expect exchangeable affair to hap to them when they in conclusion meet their end . Bolg ’s sword is dripping with the blood of Kili when he pulls it out , but Azog ’s is whole dry when it come out of Fili .
Unless Fili has an exceptionally severe blood line disorder , you ’d expect the music director to keep track of persistence error like this . It ’s especially noticeable because it happens straight by ; there is n’t a brief intermission to allow the consultation to bury .
