- The original novel was originally written in one go, but due to the severe shortage of paper after World War II, the cost of such a thick book was too high, so the author had to divide it into three parts and rename it.
- The crew was fortunate to find a swordsmith who was "like a wrestler" from Wellington. This man used ancient methods to build weapons and never used modern equipment such as airbrushes. Therefore, a sword usually takes 3 to 6 days to complete. After the filming of the trilogy movie, there are hundreds of swords made in this way.
- The crossbow used by Uruk-Hai in the movie is a sliding rod type.
- The swordsmanship guide of the crew is a swordsman who played Lord Black's stand-in. The action designs of warriors of different races in the movie are not the same. Orlando Bloom also has to learn the fighting style of the elves.
- The shot of Gulu catching fish in the creek was taken in the freezing winter. The crew used all the searchlights and blowers, and even called the fire brigade to clear the snow and ice on the stream.
- Many of the buildings in the movie were shot on miniature models, and at this time, we can only rely on these "warriors" to preview. The crew seemed to be scouring the toy soldiers all over the world. Many buildings are a quarter of the actual scene, with a total width of fifty feet.

[In Extended Edition]
Faramir: [to Frodo] Where will you go to reach there, Frodo?
Frodo: Gollum says there is a tunnel above Minas Morgul. It climbs up into the mountains.
Faramir: Cirith Ungol?
[Faramir notices Gollum is acting suspiciously. He slams him to the wall. Gollum inhales and gags in surprised horror and pain over being choked]
Faramir: [fiercely] Is that its name?
Gollum: [shaking his head vigorously; yowling like a cat] No, no!
[Faramir tightens his grip on Gollum's neck. Gollum winces in pain and gasps]
Gollum: [in a pitiful squawk of a voice] Y-YES!

Saruman: The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard... and Mordor? To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman... and the union of the Two Towers? Together, my Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-earth.
