Re: [RC] Shadowfax - Zephyr Arabians--- Susan Young Casey <glenn218@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: What I DID notice was that in this film, Gandoff (stunt double?) rode him bareback (except when he tore out of the stables...saddle was hidden) and had a white rope abound his neck. I don't know if the rope was supposed to blend in so we thought Gandoff had NOTHING on the horse or not. Gandalf is supposed to be riding Shadowfax with nothing on at all. Shadowfax is volunteering his services to Gandalf. :) I've read that Ian McKellen did much of his own riding, and I'm willing to forgive the rope & hidden saddle since Jackson is really trying to stick to the books. I made only a small idiot (HA! as if!!) in the theater. I kept begging the projector man to play that part again! Did you see you part when the Elf was running along the off side of the horse the Dwarf was riding, grabbed the breast collar on the near side, and swung up behind the Dwarf? "PLAY THAT PART AGAIN!!!" Was that "real" or a computer graphic? I think it was a bit of both. Orlando Bloom, who played Legolas, apparently broke some bones (ribs?) during some of the horse-related stunts. I was disappointed this time because the Ring Wreaths rode funky-looking monsters instead of horses. They're riding Worms (dragons). The horses were killed in the river outside of Rivendell. That's the last time in the books that the Nazgul are riding horses. But, boy, I *loved* the imagery of the Nazguls on horseback in FOTR. Incredible job bringing my mental pictures to life. :) ~Nicole ===== * Zephyr Arabians & KattWmn Web Design * * http://www.zephyrarabians.com * * http://www.kattwmn.com * * From the "Horse Capital of the USA" Norco, CA * * * * You have the right to remain silent, anything * * you say can be misquoted and used against you. * __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
