Summary

  • Archery expert Jim Kent breaks down archery scenes in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring involving Legolas and Lurtz, the Uruk-hai leader.
  • Legolas makes good use of his back quiver, Kent explains, but Lurtz's grip on the bow, the bow creaking, and arrow sounds aren't accurate.
  • The archery mistakes are done in the name of adding characterization and style, and this is ultimately more important, as long as viewers remain engaged in the story.
