Gandalf Returns (1978)

The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)

[Aristocles]

Why does Aragorn look like an Apache chief?!

[deed]

Gandalf being so extra with his spinning and the cloak. Omg I live for it 😂😂😂

[Losrandir]

I like to think that Gandalf is just some crazy old drunk who makes up stories and they all go along with it.

[kongfeet]

Aragon the Apache chief, Legolas the white guy, and Gimli the Appalachian lumberjack. Looks legit to me.

[LexioLTG]

Gandalf is such a drama queen in this version and I love it.

[fanirama]

Looks like everyone was on drugs including Gandalf.

[Aldrnari]

0:33
Gandalf: *It's time for my big reveal. Twirl and...* "Tada!"

[rmwolfe_]

i love that fucking twirl he does with the cloak. it's so unnecessary.

[ferghalicious]

Why does the Balrog in the flashback sketches look so much more badass than the one we actually see him fight?

[markbenand]

I like how the bottom of Moria and the deep places has corpses, bones, and grotesqueness. I think it was a reference to the "Nameless things" that gnaw at the roots of the world. Abominations that pre-date Sauron being on middle earth and hate everything. It even states they were evil before Melkor came and officially created evil. Now that is some damn evil.

[mrhistory]

"And I wandered far on roads I will not tell." Love that one. Epic.

[jelly-filleddonuts]

Gimli: “fire legolas, before he casts a spell on us!”

Legolas: slowly pulls bow

Gimli: “fire now!”

Legolas: s t a n d s c o n f u s e d

[gamerguy]

Gandalf's reveal looks like a kid with a super hero cape spinning around

[James-mmzc]

Lol, that spin he does when taking off his cloak. And then he raises his arms like "That's right, it's me bitches".

[kuribayashi]

Man, those brief flashes of Gandalf fighting the Balrog at 1:04 look badass af!

[Jinzo]

I'm surprised no one appreciates the animation in this film. Looks incredible to me, everything moves so realistically! Look at that fabric movement!

[Zw]

0:54 "What happened to you Gandalf?"
- "I had to fire a proton torpedo down a reactor shaft."

[capnhawkins]

0:14 Your bow, Legolas, it's Arrow, man!

[TheGamingCathedral]

Aragorn: "Gandalf! Beyond all Gandalf!"
Gandalf, staring manically: "Yeees."

[Wilburgur]

why is aragorn an english sounding native-american?
