Hobbit 4k Angry-Cut: Barrel-Riders

The Hobbit: Angry-Cut Edition.
A fan-edit of The Hobbit: entire trilogy combined into a 4k 3.5-hour epic in the tradition of Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, and Ben Hur, etc. (Also in 1080p, 720p, 480p Screener).

I know: "OMG another fan-edit of The Hobbit!?"

What makes this version different is that it is cut by an experienced director, not a professional editor. Though editors must be great story-tellers, *how* the story is told is why there is often a director: to direct. I've seen most other fan-edits and they just don't do it for me, so I made this one.

Many other fan-edits eliminate the "Barrel-Riders" sequence Orc battle completely. But this creates a problem later in the Lake-Town Armory scene when Kili trips and falls and alerts the authorities by loudly spilling his load. But Kili is a dwarf, they are dextrous and nimble, so how is this faltering explained? This is why we need to show Kili being injured during this sequence. Foreshadow is a very important story-telling aspect than many fan-editors often forget to take into account.

In the Angry-Cut Edition orcs are mentioned and described often, but never seen. Not a single orc appears on screen until now. It is time for them to make their initial appearance in the movie. This clip demonstrates how their appearance is limited to the river-gate area of the Woodland realm, giving the appearance that the attack is on the elves, and not the Okenshield Company itself.

This is what the Angry-Cut Edition "Barrel-Riders" sequence looks like.

Before all of the dwarves rolled down in the barrels into the water, when Thorin says, "Do what he says!" that really made me smile. Simply because it shows how much Thorin has grown to trust Bilbo. After Bilbo saved him from getting his head chopped off by an orc and Azog the Defiler, Thorin must trust Bilbo a lot more than he did in the beginning, where he thought Bilbo was a burden to them at first.

Legolas was so angry at Bilbo that even after 60 years he didn't ever speak a single word with his nephew Frodo during LOTR

That's the "Shut the gate cause there are dwarves in the barrels" horn. Mirkwood rangers are drilled on it weekly.

I'm surprised they never made a theme park ride of this.

[iansin]

Imagine living for 1000 years just to be surprised attacked by an orc

3:13 the exact moment of true pain as the arrow shatters

[hannahtaylor]

can we just take a moment to appreciate the pain kili must have suffered when he jumped into the barrel and the arrow snapped, that would have opened the wound even more and the pain must have been intense! I cringe every time I see it

[GERBERTH-ry]

actually i think this scene is the best when it comes to orcs when the orcs carried out the surprise attack they seemed trained for a second.

[Mockingjay]

In the behind the scenes when they are making for the shore, Thorin notices Bilbo is missing and starts to panick and calls for him. I wish that was in the movie.

[bugaboo]

I’m not going to lie that looks like fun😂

[jackdavenport]

Finally got the washing they all needed.. with spin cycle 😂😂😂

[liaistotallyfine]

Thorin really said "I'm gonna ride this theme-park-ride like a badass"

[jjrj]

this would actually be an amazing ride in an aquatic park

0:54 Bilbo was holding on to Nori's barrel the whole time. How come now he's holding on to Dori's?

[maayanelfmon]

New Disneyland attraction...without the orcs of course.

[peterms-]

There are quite a few secnes in the movies where they are protective of the youngest 4:55.

[joshmarshall]

Do you think the reason why Smaug was so fixated on the barrel rider title is cuz he wanted to know what the inside of a barrel looked like if you noticed there are no hollow halls or circles in the Architecture

[HailChrist]

If u want to know all the dwarfs names here there are : Dwalin, balin, oin, gloin, kili, fili, nori, dori, ori, bifur, bofur,
Bombur, and btw these are the other 2 dwarfs: dain ironfoot and gimli son of gloin

[soumilsingh]

2:52 in the original kili gets hit with the arrow but he doesn't grab the lever falling down. It takes him another minute to stand up and open the gate. Really hated that, it was so clearly obvious that they were padding the runtime that it made me scream at the screen. If they wanted to extend this scene and add tension kili could have been shot some distance away from the lever then had to crawl all the way there. Thanks for editing this accordingly, this certain part in the scene always bothered me. Great edit.

i used to be an adventurer like you then i took an arrow in the knee ✨🍻🐉
