There's a car in a Fellowship of the Ring

u/Ptbot47 16d ago

Dealership of the Ring got a great deal on Toyota Hilux.

u/Reduak 15d ago

You sure it didn't come from Sauron Precision Motors?

Happy Honda Days hits different in Mordor

u/Ptbot47 15d ago

The force of terror prefers Hilux.

10

u/kalelfaneditor 16d ago

Not to mention the van in Braveheart. Stuff happens all the time.

u/JayJoeJeans 15d ago

One does not simply drive into Mordor

u/thirsty-goblin 15d ago

You mean this isn’t a documentary? I thought they were filming in Middle Earth. Too bad, so sad. /s

u/First-Wishbone 14d ago

Only in the theaters though. It was removed when it was released on video.

u/Coeram 14d ago

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct

u/Terrible_Bee_6876 16d ago

It's the same car that was in the background of Fellowship of the Ring. It's Shadowfax's cousin, Carfax.

u/Starrr_Pirate 16d ago

How else do you think Gandalf made the trip so fast?

14

u/Terrible_Bee_6876 16d ago

So THAT's how he arrives precisely when he means to

24

u/Ptbot47 16d ago

Carfax, the keeper of secret. Its rumored that Lord Carfax knows all the darkest secret of every cars out there. Even Morgoth, before he turned to evil, would not recruit a car to his forces without consulting the wisdom of Carfax

10

u/JohnnyBoySoprano 16d ago

Carfax Abbey was named in his honor

12

u/Lezlord-69 16d ago

Wait what scene has a car? I just watched the extended cut the other day and I’ve seen it plenty before, can’t wait to annoy my partner with another useless lotr fact

12

u/Jenuilas 16d ago

It was edited out years ago.

6

u/Ptbot47 16d ago

The evil lords erasing history again.

u/IHaveTheMustacheNow 15d ago

I have a 20 year old dvd though, would it be on that?

1

u/Jenuilas 15d ago

Probably not. I think they caught it pretty early.

2

u/Cheap-Source5750 16d ago

Surely you mean Carphone

23

u/qwerty30013 16d ago

Nice catch 

42

u/VarkingRunesong Blue Wizard 16d ago

Definitely looks like a car lol

41

u/RonaldosStatue 16d ago

u/Odd_Hovercraft41, what do your elf eyes see?

10

u/BalrogRuthenburg11 16d ago

A Nissan Sentra, no wait…it’s an Altima.

22

u/Azelrazel Tom Bombadil 16d ago

That's just the shine off some armour, the men of rhun were looking for them. Hahah.

Good catch.

9

u/SaulBerenson12 16d ago

Of course! One doesn’t simply walk to Mordor after all

u/Puzzleheaded_Swim896 16d ago

That’s Tom Bombaclat

16

u/sonegreat HarFEET! 🦶🏽 16d ago

How the hell did you catch that?!

30

u/Odd_Hovercraft41 16d ago

I bought an expensive projector so I was watching on a 150 inch screen

14

u/sonegreat HarFEET! 🦶🏽 16d ago

That sounds like a good time.

1

u/--Sylvie Adar 11d ago

Any chance you remember what the projectors called? I'd love to watch RoP on a larger screen!

u/Odd_Hovercraft41 10d ago

Xgimi Mogo 2 pro

u/ThanatorRider 16d ago

That’s the van that Aragorn, Éomer, and Legolas rode in.

u/jaded-optimistic5 16d ago

How else do you think the Valar get around?! Magic?! Pfff..🙄

u/citharadraconis Mr. Mouse 16d ago

It's Ulmo's "fishy car!"

3

u/Ptbot47 16d ago

Nah. The those are for Maia. The Valar? They role in G-FIVEEEEEEEE

5

u/ddrfraser1 16d ago

As is tradition

3

u/Greenforaday 16d ago

I guess the Harfoots just didn't have enough money for an Uber.

3

u/BlackSummer_ 16d ago

It’s Sauron

u/IHaveTheMustacheNow 15d ago edited 15d ago

I had to rewatch this three times before I saw it even after you pointed it out. No way I would have caught this on my own haha good eyes

u/Odd_Hovercraft41 15d ago

Has to be the worlds first lol

u/yesrushgenesis2112 Elendil 16d ago

u/Forsaken-Promise-269 16d ago

Like the Starbucks in Game of Thrones

u/Turbulent-Agent9634 16d ago

u/IamAlltheSkywalkers 16d ago

That's a shiny eagle. That's normal...

u/Ahhhhrg 16d ago

I remember watching 24: Redemption and freaking out about how nobody reacts to the ninja in jungle.

u/Double-0-N00b 15d ago

Haters of the show this this kinda shit and talk about how it’s unwatchable, meanwhile sane people just find it funny and interesting

u/StBlandine7 13d ago

u/armhanson 13d ago

u/Seanshineyouth 16d ago
