The Fellowship of the Ring Bloopers

Please note, many of these bloopers were taken from MovieMistakes.com

Prologue

Throughout the books and the movie the Rings of Power were described as being forged. In the opening of the movie, the One Ring is shown as being cast. Casting and forging are two different processes.
At the battle of the last alliance the Elves are shown by stamping their shields on the ground, in the next part after firing the arrows at the Orcs and when the Orcs clash with them the shields are completely gone.
In the beginning of the film we see Isildur attacked by orcs. Isildur is in fairly heavy armor, yet when we see him shot full of arrows in the water, he is floating. With that much armor on, Isildur would have sunk like a rock.
In the beginning of the prologue, Cate Blanchett says "Much that once was is lost - for none now live who remember it." Though this is an effective literary device for conveying long passages of time, it's not true, because Elrond was there, as the movie subsequently depicts. Galadriel was also alive and was a recipient of one of the original Elven rings, also depicted.

Hobbiton

When Gandalf arrives in Hobbiton, you can see a long silver scarf (as described in the book) dangling from a post on his cart - next to the driver's bench. In the first shot it is on the right hand side of his cart In the VERY next shot, the scarf has moved to the left hand side of the cart, nearer to Gandalf.
VERIFIED In the beginning, Gandalf's pipe keeps mysteriously vanishing from each scene, when he is guiding the cart with Frodo.
In a wide shot of Frodo riding in Gandalf's cart his hands are both in his lap. The shot goes close and suddenly his right hand is wrapped around a post.
During Gandalf and Frodo's journey on the cart near the beginning of the film, the close ups show a background of a level grass field with no track and the cart travels in a straight line. In the long shots the cart is on a proper path, weaving uphill between the hobbit holes.
VERIFIED In the beginning of the movie Gandalf and Frodo drive pass the old couple and the children. The couple is standing by the gate and the lady has her hand on her hip. When Gandalf has sent of the fireworks for the children the lady returns to the house. But when you see her again she's standing next to her husband again.
VERIFIED At the start when Gandalf arrives and lets off the fireworks from his cart, there is a group of children who are jumping up and down, most with their hands in the air, as well as the girl second from the left from the back shot (yellow dress). The next shot taken from the front shows the children still jumping up and down but the girl's arms in the yellow dress are always by her side.
VERIFIED When Gandalf arrives in Hobbiton, some children start chasing the cart yelling for fireworks. At this point we can see a hobbit couple watching the children run past. The female hobbit places her hand on her hip, and then in a closeup she puts her hand on her hip again.
In one shot of Gandalf's first appearance at Bilbo's front door, he is wearing light-brownish hiking shoes under his robes, and when he walks in, he's got his normal grey ones on.
In the scene that Gandalf knocks on Bag End and Bilbo comes to the door, Gandalf raises his arms and says "Bilbo Baggins". In the very next split second scene his arms are at his side.
At the beginning of the film, when Gandalf first knocks on Bag End, Bilbo runs out and hugs Gandalf, with both arms around Gandalf's neck, when we see the shot from Bilbo's persepective, his arms are in a different position, (maybe the child actor replaced for height differences) and then, the next shot is with Bilbo returning with his arms around Gandalf's neck.
When Gandalf arrives at Bag End and hits the light fixture with his head, the order of the candles (watch the small one on the right) is not the Same as the next shot.
Just after Gandalf enters the Bag End for the first time he looks the map of the Middle Earth on the table. In first shot when he is grabbing the map, you can see that there are two scrolls and a flat empty paper stacked on the map. In next shot, there is only one scroll and a paper with some kind of pattern on it.
When Gandalf first visits Bilbo in Bag End they sit at a long table that is positioned lengthways from the camera. Bilbo potters about at the far end of the table and Gandalf goes to the left at the end closest to the camera. As he sits down the near half of the table wobbles but the far half does not. This seems to expose the fact that the table is actually in two parts, a small sized piece of table close to the camera next to which Gandalf looks large, and a normal sized piece of table a bit further away that looks the right size for Bilbo. The two pieces are filmed from such a perspective that they look like they join together in one long table and the fact that there is really a gap between them so that Bilbo is further away than it seems, makes him seem small compared to Gandalf. There is a round of cheese and various pieces of crockery on the near piece of table to disguise the gap.
When the 'forced perspective' shot is being used with Gandalf sitting nearer the camera at one end of the table and Bilbo considerably farther away to indicate relative size, watch where Gandalf picks the teapot lid from. If you have a zoom feature on the dvd it helps as you can see the lid is placed on a stand nearer Gandalf and the pot is back with Bilbo, it's just the perspective makes us think they are together.
VERIFIED At Bilbo's party, when Merry and Pippin set off the dragon firework, they are shown inside a small tent. The tent has dishes and other things in it, and is quite full. When the firework launches, taking the tent with it, you can see that all of the things inside the tent (with the exception of Merry and Pippin) have disappeared.
VERIFIED After Bilbo turns himself invisible, we see a view from on top of the hill of Bilbo going back to his house. At this point, we can see down below at the party, and everyone is running towards where Bilbo was before he turned invisible. That had to have only been a few seconds after Bilbo disappeared. Magic ring or no magic ring, there's no way anyone, never mind a hobbit, could have run up the hill in that time.
After Bilbo disappears from his birthday party and then re-appears inside his front door, there's a scarf tied around his neck. He still has the scarf on as he picks up a walking stick in the next shot. Then, a split second later, the scarf is gone.
In the scene where the now invisible Bilbo returns to Bag End he chats with Gandalf then leaves dropping the ring on the floor near the door. As Gandalf goes to pick it up the ring is on a tile with a crack in it and the ring is about 3" from the crack. In the next shot from side on, the ring is almost touching the crack.
At Bilbo's birthday party, he is wearing a red jacket with a green collar. He then disappears. When he re-appears, he still has it on. When he grabs the walking stick, it has turned all green.
After Bilbo returns from the party invisible and finds Gandalf by the fireplace, look at Gandalf as Bilbo walks between him and the fire. There is no shadow cast on him when there clearly should be. Also as the camera pans round following Bilbo's movements, you can see Gandalf is casting a shadow on the floor but not on the table, but when Bilbo walks up to it he does, even though Gandalf is between him and the fire light.
VERIFIED When Gandalf is leaving Bag End in a hurry, right after Frodo has received the Ring, he clearly bends down and passes below the light fixture in the main entrance hall without touching it. When he turns around to answer Frodo�s question, the light fixture is swinging back and forth as if he bumped it.
This is in the extended version only. When the hobbits are in the bar in Hobbiton, and Merry and Pippin are on the table singing, Frodo is skipping around the table singing too, with four mugs of ale in his hands. However, as he skips around, you can see that the mugs are in fact empty, yet he then puts them down in front of some other hobbits, and they have something in them
VERIFIED When Frodo is talking with Gandalf while sitting at the table in Bag End, he is pouring tea into a teapot in one shot, then Galdalf talks for about 3 seconds, and in the next shot Frodo has a cup of tea to his lips.
In the scene when Gandalf is testing the ring in the fire, when he picks it out, in close-up shot, the tongs are close around one edge of the ring. When he lifts it up nearer his face, the tongs are on the opposite, outside edges of the ring.
In one scene we see a man cutting wood. A close up shows him putting a piece of wood on the stump, but when we pan out to see the dog barking, the piece of wood is gone.
In the scene when Gandalf pulls Sam through the window and onto the table, you can easily tell the footage was spliced together from two different shots. I mean, one moment Gandalf is starting to lift something over the level of the window sill and the *very next* instance Gandalf is setting Sam onto the table, and a couple feet away from the window sill. I've heard of the hand moving faster than the eye, but...
VERIFIED When Gandalf pulls Sam in through the window at Bag End and throws him on the desk to ask him questions, several items fall off of the desk. The scene switches back and forth between Sam and Gandalf's perspectives several times. When Sam is shown, sometimes there is a wooden box or book on the floor to the left side of Sam's head and sometimes there is nothing on the floor.
In the scene where Sam and Frodo are in the field with the scarecrow, you can plainly see a car cruising past in the distance, from right to left. Some people swear blind there's a car there, others insist there's nothing at all. All I can say is watch it and make up your own mind. If there is a car, they'll delete it for the DVD release, so get in there quickly! Further comment - there are two different shots which show the car moving from right to left. One starts at the top right distance, and in a shot a few seconds later the car has travelled down the road a bit and is more easily visible. Complicating matters is that the dust thrown up by the car looks similar to smoke from a chimney in the right distance, making some people think it is just the chimney. But chimneys don't move, and the smoke from the chimney is separate from the moving vehicle. [It is deleted on the DVD, but you can still see an obvious bit of image fakery on the hill just left of the smoking chimney. One can see the hill, tree, and surrounding area move up and down and shimmer slightly where someone has done a cut and paste to cover up the auto. The "car inclusive" scene appears on the National Geographic documentary Beyond the Movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.]
Most of the time the hobbits are barefoot, but when Frodo and Sam are first walking through the fields, Frodo's leg come above long-grass level and his shoe is clearly visible.
VERIFIED When Sam tells Frodo that if he take another step, he will be farther away from home than ever before, he stands next to a scarecrow. In the next scene, we see both Sam and Frodo, and Sam has passed the scarecrow by several metres. Another zoom at Sam, and he stands by the Scarecrow again.
When the hobbits first start to run away from Farmer Maggot, they are running through the corn, which is clearly much taller than them. Two seconds later, when the camera angle changes to the wide view (you can see all four hobbits running through the corn), their heads are even with, if not slightly above the corn.
In the scene where Pippin, Merry, and Frodo stop right on the edge before tumbling down the hill (after being chased by Farmer Maggot), you can see Sam's head peering out from behind Merry. However, in the next shot, Sam is running towards the group and bumps into them. You may have to watch in slow motion to see Sam's head, but it is clearly there.
When Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin are being chased through the cornfield, the camera zooms out as they are about to roll down the hill, you can see that the area below and beside the bottom of the hill has very little trees but when they are done rolling down, the area is heavily forested.
After the hobbits take the tumble from farmer Maggot's field, they land in a heap with twigs in their hair. Frodo stands on the road and looks down it. He says, "I think we should get off the road" and the twigs are there. He looks back down the road and the smoke and leaves come swirling at him, he yells, "Get off the road" - no twigs. They hide from the wraith, then make their escape. Merry says, "What was that?" - and they have the twigs in their hair again.
There are no mountains near the Shire - Frodo and Bilbo both speak wistfully of seeing them - yet after Gandalf rides off and before they even run into Merry and Pippen, there are mountains in the background of the scene.
When Gandalf leaves the Shire as Sam and Frodo set out, he leaves on a chestnut horse with a star and stripe (for non-horsey people, lots of white) on his face. When he is seen approaching Isengard and Orthanc, he is still riding this horse. However, when he dismounts and is talking to Saruman, you see the horse on his right, and the horse has only a small star (just a little white) in the center of his forehead.
When the hobbits are hiding under the tree trunk from the Ringwraith in the beginning, you can see space to the left and right of the tree above them. Logically when the Ringwraith walks past the tree you would see it on the right side of the tree first, then on the left, but you don't - it looks like it walks out of the tree instead of behind it.

Bree

After the Hobbits go through the gate at Bree it is raining heavily, however there are no raindrop splashes in the puddles further up the road.
VERIFIED When the hobbits are sitting at the table in the Prancing Pony in Bree, Merry comes back with a pint. Pippin leaves to get one too. Then we see Sam mention to Frodo that a man is looking at them, across the table sits Pippin and no Merry.
When Aragorn takes off the hood of his cloak while talking with Frodo in the Prancing Pony Inn, his hair falls all over his face. When he turns as Sam, Merry, and Pippin crash in, it is brushed aside. But when he informs Frodo that the Black Riders are coming, the hair is back in the exact Same place as it was before.
When Strider is first leading the hobbits and Merry says, "How do we know this Strider is a friend of Gandalf's?" his cloak is wrapped around him. In the next shot, when Frodo says, "We just have to trust him," it isn't.
VERIFIED In the scene where the hobbits ask Strider where he is taking them, he answers "Into the wild." A split second later as Strider walks past the camera the bow he carries on his back bumps into the camera, nudging the screen a bit.
This mistake is in the extended version of the movie. When Pippin falls in the Midge Water Marshes, you can see that is his Hobbit foot is half way ripped off.

Amon Sul

While at Weathertop, after Frodo puts out the fire, they hear a Ring Wraith. When they are all standing Sam is holding a small pot with a cloth on the bottom to hold it with so he won't burn himself, but his thumb is actually touching the pot and he doesn't get burned.
During the scene where Elijah is stabbed by a wraith, it zooms up on him. If you look closely, you see that Elijah's contact has slipped to the left side. A good way to solve the argument: Are Elijah Wood's eyes really that blue? (His eye colour never changes despite the fact his contact is half on and half off).
VERIFIED When Aragorn is looking for Kingsfoil he has a torch in his left hand. When he finds the Kingsfoil, he sits down, and with his right hand he holds the Kingsfoil. He still has the torch in his left hand, and you can still see the flame in the corner of the screen. Then suddenly he pulls out his knife with his left hand. When it the perspective changes so you can see his face, you can see that the torch is still in his left hand.

Ford of Bruinen

When Frodo first sees Arwen in her "angelic" state, she wears two separate dresses. When she dismounts, she's wearing a high-necked dress with a shawl, she has a low crown with parted hair, and she has the Evenstar necklace. When she approaches Frodo, she is wearing a low necked dress with no shawl, her hair is pulled back with no crown, and she does not have the necklace. (by Melvasaiel)
During Arwen's race to the Ford of Bruinen, she rides at least two different horses. The first horse seen is a lovely grey (white and black hairs) and is likely to be of Andalusian descent. The second horse is a fleabitten grey (white with red hairs) with COMPLETELY different hind-end conformation and muscling, and looks as if it is an Arabian. The switch occurs several times. If you aren't a horse person, you can see this change by watching the horses' necks. The first horse has a very thick neck, and the second horse's neck is much thinner.
When Arwen is fleeing from the Nazgul, she's pulling back on the reins, which is what you do if you're trying to slow a horse down, not if you're trying to spur it on to outrun pursuers.
VERIFIED When Arwen enters the water after being chased by the Ringwraiths, as she turns the horse, you can clearly see the fake hobbit (representing an injured Frodo), bounce up and down like a rubber band.
When the Nazgul confront Arwen across the river, they draw their swords in their left hands. In the next shot this changes to their right.
!NEW! At the Ford of Bruinen, notice the Ring-wraith who says,"Give up the halfling she-elf." Just after he says it, you can just barely see his chin.
After Arwen has crossed the river at the Fords of Bruinen and is challenged by the Ring wraith Witch-King, she draws her sword and holds it high and ready to strike. Arwen then calls upon the waters of the river for assistance. When the rush of water with horses heads comes around the bend and into view there is a clear shot of Arwen�s back as she is watching the water come down on the ring wraiths and she is not holding her sword up. Shortly after all the ring wraith�s are swept away, there is a scene of Arwen�s face and upper body and she is still holding the sword high and ready to strike.

Orthanc

When Gandalf rides to meet Saruman, Isengard is seen set in a dry valley. However, when Saruman is on top of Orthanc casting weather spells, there is a wide, curving river just outside the walls.
When Gandalf is talking to Saruman, if you watch his hands, you will see that he is wearing a ring. Narya, to be exact. But, a little bit later, if you look at his hands, you will see that he is no longer wearing his ring. It has disappeared. (by Eowyn Skywalker)
VERIFIED When Gandalf and Saruman are talking in Ortanc, we can see a black strap around Gandalf's fingers on the hand holding his staff. In some shots it's around different fingers, in others it's disappeared completely.
When Gandalf and Saruman are about to fight, Gandalf switches his staff from his left to his right hand. When Saruman smashes him against the wall, the staff is back in the left hand. The staff continues to switch from hand to hand during the fight.
When Gandalf and Saruman are throwing each other around, watch Gandalf's very last spell, throwing Saruman through the double doors. Gandalf hits the floor doing so, but the next instant is shown standing with staff in hand.
When Saruman and Gandalf are fighting in Isengard (Orthanc), Saruman is pushed to the wall. When he "crashes" to the wall, you can see the black, short hair of the stuntman losing the white hair of Saruman.
Gandalf is seen wearing brown hiking boots on the top of Orthanc, when he tells the moth to find the eagle lord Gwaihir. You can see them as the camera follows the moth from above. Gandalf is sitting crosslegged on the roof with his feet not covered by his robe.
In the scenes on the top of Orthanc the walls of Isengard appear to curve along the hills below. In the scene where the orcs leaves Isengard, however, the terrain is completely level.
VERIFIED Saruman�s orcs are busy tearing down trees for firewood. In the second shot of this sceneyou will notice that one of the orcs in the central foreground falls on his backside as the tree hits the ground. A few scenes later and another group of orcs are pulling down another tree; except that it�s the Same group, pulling down the Same tree, just filmed from a different angle. You can see the orc falling down once again, this time on the left hand side, behind a burning brazier.
When Saruman is talking to him, Lurtz has bright green eyes. Later, when he is shouting "Find the halflings!" in the sunlight, he still has green eyes. When he is shooting Boromir in the sunlight the fourth time, however, he has brown eyes.
The white handprint on Lurtz's face changes a lot during the film. When first put on in the Isengard pits he has two hand prints, this changes to one diagonally downward right to left, but the location of the fingers changes from scene to scene.
When Saruman is explaining the genus of orcs to Lurtz the creature has something dripping from his chin, then the shot changes and he doesn't.

Rivendell

When Frodo is recovering in Rivendell from the Ringwraith dagger he is first seen lying in the bed with a chain necklace clearly visible (to which the ring is attached) - in following scenes the necklace is sometimes there - sometimes not.
VERIFIED When Frodo awakes in the bed in Rivendell, Frodo's shirt is open and the sheet low down on the bed in the first shot, and then his shirt's closed and the sheet pulled substantially higher in the next shot.
VERIFIED In rivendell when Frodo is standing outside by the railing it is the perfect height for a hobbit when the railing would come to below the waist of an elf (in fact only about mid-thigh height). So the size is not right.
When Legolas arrives in Rivendell, you see him dismount his horse and turn to view the area. Right after he jumps off you see he is just behind his horse's front leg. After the shot changes, he is a couple feet forward from his last position.
When Arwen and Aragorn are talking on the bridge, you see Arwen's lips moving while Aragorn is speaking.
Look closely at Elrond's close-up shots throughout the movie. His eyebrows change shape repeatedly (especially noticeable during the Council of Elrond). In some shots they're 'tweezed' pretty thin, then in the Same scene will be completely unaltered.
In the new Council of Elrond scene in the extended DVD version Elrond raises his hand to his forehead as if in pain when Gandalf recites the 'One Ring to bind them' poem in the Black Speech. There is a quick cut away to a close-up of Gandalf's face. When the camera switches to a wide shot of the Council Elrond is raising his hand to his forehead again. Did the Black Speech pain him so much he to massage his temples twice?
VERIFIED When the Fellowship meets in Rivendell, and the Dwarf tries to break the ring with his axe, the axe breaks into many pieces on the platform upon which the ring is laid. At first, the pieces are there in the closeup view. When the camera pans back for a long range view of the Fellowship, the pieces of the axe on the platform are gone. In the following closeup, the pieces magically re-appear.
During the Rivendell council scene when the characters are arguing over who will take the ring, Gandalf is shown arguing with and raising his arms at another character. When Frodo announces that he will take the ring, Gandalf's face looks serious and he is not talking or moving. When the camera goes back to a wide shot of the crowd, Gandalf is arguing again.
VERIFIED At the Council of Elrond scene at Rivendell, when Pippin and Merry appeared to join the fellowship, Elrond's head movement was not in-sync with the path the two hobbits took when they ran towards Frodo and Sam.

Journey/Carahdras

VERIFIED Before the passage of Carhadras, Boromir is fencing with Merry and Pippin. When they tackle him you can see Merry's face and it's obviously a dwarf stand-in for the actor.
When the Fellowship first sets off they are on top of a mountain and the bird spies are approaching, Boromir says that it can't be a cloud because it's blowing against the wind, when quite clearly his hair is blowing in the Same direction as the shape is moving.
As the fellowship hides from Saruman's spy crows, Aragorn grabs his sword twice - once as they first start to hide, and then again, a few shots later, with some other equipment.
At the beginning of the Fellowship's journey, they are resting on a hilltop (Hollin) with rocky formations. Bill the pony is tethered in the background in one shot. Then come the spying crows from Saruman and they all quickly hide. When the crows swoop in closer we see no-one, but who hid the pony and where?
When the Fellowship crosses a mountain ridge, just before Frodo falls in the snow and loses the ring, there is an aerial shot - where's Bill, the pony, in that shot?
VERIFIED When Frodo stops rolling down the snow covered hill, just before the shot of Boromir picking up the ring, you can see the edge of the stockings that the actors wore to protect their feet since there were walking in real snow for that scene.
Frodo rolls down the hill in the snow and his ring falls off then Boromir picks it up. Yet when Frodo is being dangled upside down by the watcher, the ring stays safely on his neck.
Just after Frodo has fallen down in the snow and loses his ring, on the zoomed out shot one hand is up, the other down, on the zoomed in shot the hand that was up is now down, the hand that was down is now up.
Just after Frodo falls down in the snow and the ring falls off and Boromir picks it up, etc. Aragorn's hand moves on and off his sword about 3 times..he's resting it on it first, then it's gone, then he's gripping it, then you can see him let it go and remove his hand, then he's gripping it again just after Boromir gives the ring back. (by unsigned)
When Saruman is summoning an avalanche on Carhadras a bandage can be seen on his left middle finger.

Moria

Right before Gimli says, "The walls of Moria" one can clearly see a broken acqueduct fallen backwards with water flowing UPhill and then falling off the front edge.
When the fellowship is outside Moria's gates and Gandalf is trying to open it, you see Merry throwing a stone into the water and Pippin sits on the ground next to him. In a closer shot it is Pippin thats stands up and try throwing stones into the water. You can't see Merry anywere.
VERIFIED In the scene where Gimli kneeling is at Balin's Tomb (in the Mines of Moria), he is first shown kneeling right next to the slab. When the shot changes, he is suddenly a couple of feet back. Throughout this whole section, his position changes, depending on the shot used. In this Same scene, his axe also changes positions. The blade faces forward, then suddenly it is turned around backwards, again alternating depending on which shot was used.
When Boromir goes to the door of Balin's Tomb in the mines you can see Aragorn in the background putting his torch on the ground, then when it switches to Aragorn and the others he puts the torch down again.
In Balin's tomb in Moria, Boromir runs to the door and avoids two arrows flying towards him. In the next shot, he runs back into the room a few feet away from the door, but in the next shot, he is back at the door, preparing to slam it shut.
When the orcs break through the door of Balin's tomb and rush the Fellowship, an orc with pale skin and wide, pointy ears is fatally shot in the neck by an arrow. A couple of shots later, and the orc is attacking again.
During the battle at Balin's tomb in Moria, Aragorn slices off the head of an Orc with his sword, sending a spray of black blood flying. If you play the tape in slow-mo you should see that the Orc's head was already detached at the start of the scene; Aragorn merely knocked it off with the flat of his blade. It's hard to see but if you look closely enough, you can spot it.
When Gimli jumps up on Balin's tomb he crosses his axes in front of his face. The shot changes to his front and now he's holding the axes straight up (so you can see his face), the shot switches back and the axes are crossed in front of him again.
In Moria, when the cave troll knocks Aragorn unconscious, there is a shot of Frodo getting up to run to him, and the Ring is safely tucked underneath his clothes. In the next shot of Frodo, when he is actually running to Aragorn, the Ring is visibly dangling around his neck. In the shot after that, the Ring is once again tucked away.
In the mines of Moria Frodo is stabbed by the cave troll. He falls to the floor and the spear is shown. The camera cuts away and then returns and the spear has gone.
When Frodo is stabbed by the cave troll, he falls with his face to the left. It remains in this direction as Aragorn crawls towards him, but when he reaches him and turns him over he is facing to the right. The Ring, which was clearly visible hanging on its chain when he tried to shake Aragorn awake, has also tucked itself back inside his clothes.
After the battle with the cave troll, Aragorn rushes over to injured Frodo and brushes past some big rocks which wobble, showing that they are clearly lightweight and not real.
When the troll stabs Frodo in Balin's tomb, the spear pierces him on his left side, but when Aragorn pulls him up, the tear on his shirt is on the right side.
Towards the end of the fight in Moria, the cave troll slams Pippin on his back, but in the very next shot (look at the bottom center), Pippin is standing up as if nothing happened.
When the fellowship is in Moria, right before the Balrog comes, they are surrounded by orcs. They all have their swords drawn, and Frodo's is not glowing blue even though they are surrounded by orcs. Some people say they're goblins, but orcs and goblins are the Same species, so it should be glowing regardless.
As the orcs pursue the fellowship through the large hall in Moria, the camera's position sweeps to the right and we see orcs popping up from the floor in the foreground and giving chase. The view is cut by a pillar, and when it returns those orcs have vanished.
In Moria they are rushing to the bridge when Boromir almost falls off a cliff. In that shot his shield is securely strapped on his back. In the next shot where Legolas grabs him it is hanging off one arm.

Lothlorien

When Galadriel pours water from a pitcher into the fountain, three set lights can be seen reflected in the pitcher.

Amon Hen

When the fellowship are sailing down the river (through the two statues) the foot of the left statue looks as if it's at the Same level as the water. Then in the next scene (camera angle from above) the foot is not at water level. It appears to be on a high rock.
When the fellowship are travelling down the Anduin (southwards) Legolas looks off to his left to where he senses the Uruk-hai are. However the Uruk-hai are on the west bank of the Anduin - which should be on Legolas's right.
Not only do the arms on the two large statutes at Amon Hen change, the statutes themselves switch places. When we first see them, the statute of the younger man has a winged helmet and is on the left and the older with the smooth helmet is on the right. In the shot once the boats have gone past, the winged helmet statute is on the right and the smooth helmet statute is on the left.
After the fellowship passed the statues of Argonath, the river ends by a huge waterfall. There's a huge rock on the very tip of the waterfall, yet the reflection is not visible on the water; compare it with the Argonath statues which have its reflections on the water.
As the fellowship approaches the Argonath, you can see in the long shot that the statues stand with the top half in sun and the bottom half in shadow. But as they move by in the close up of the foot, they are all in full sun.
When they are in front of the 2 big statues, the statues raise their left arms. When they pass them and you can see them from behind, one statue has raises its left arm and the other its right arm.
In the scene where the fellowship of the ring have just arrived in their boats past the two massive statue things, Sam sits down. He is in the background of the main shots and at one point he is deeply asleep, then suddenly he is halfway through cleaning his sword, then he's deeply asleep again.
When Gimli is going on about finding their way to Mordor through Emin Muil, you can see Sam sleeping in the background with both hands wrapped around his sword. In the next shot when you see Sam, the sword is by his side, and only one hand is even near it.
The logs that Boromir carries in his arms when he talks to Frodo at Amon Hen are different in pattern and number during the conversation and right before he throws them to the floor.
Towards the end of the movie, where Frodo is collecting wood and he has the fight with Boromir, he puts the ring on his finger, somehow it went from the chain he had it on to his finger without any problems. the next time he has the ring is when he takes it off (no chain) and offers it to Strider (no chain) when he is down by the river, he has it on the chain in his hand...too much action going on with that chain.
After Boromir attacks Frodo, his elven brooch is over his right shoulder. In the next shot, it's not.
In the scene where Aragorn faces the massive army of orcs all by his lonesome while Frodo books for Mordor. Watch the first few seconds of Aragorn's initial skirmish with the orcs in slow motion. As he's kicking Uruk bottom left and right you'll notice how careful they are to come at him one at a time, even going so far as to hold back and swing their weapons at nothing in particular. A group that size should have swamped the future king in a split second.
At Amon Hen, if you watch the Uruk-Hai going down the stairs, you can see one of them sort of tiptoeing down, rather than running full-throttle like the rest of them.
When the Fellowship is in the forest, at the end of the movie, Legolas shoots an arrow at some orcs. By pausing the movie and playing it very slowly, you can see that he reaches his hand back to get an arrow. Instead of grabbing one, his hand comes back down empty. Only after some four or five frames does the arrow appear. The arrows are actually computer models, and Legolas doesn't really shoot them.
Added comment - He does shoot them himself. Sean Astin says so himself in the commentary for FotR. (by hunibuni)
During the battle at Amon Hen, Legolas says "The Horn of Gondor!". Aragorn then rushes past him so close that he has to lean backwards to let him pass. In the next wide shot, Aragorn runs past Legolas again but this time further apart.
At the end of the film, when Boromir is racing up the hill to the rescue of Merry and Pippin, you simply see his dark clothing as he climbs. Then the camera cuts away, returning to a shot of Boromir still coming up the hill, only this time the horn of Gondor is suddenly evident, flip-flopping wildly with his every stepAt the end of the film, when Merry and Pippin are surronded by the Uruk-Hai, Boromir comes to the rescue. His sword is in his right hand the whole time, but when he sticks his hand out to stop the Uruk-Hai from killing Merry and Pippin, he grabs the ax with his right hand.
After Lurtz releases his first arrow at Boromir, one of the hobbit stand-ins is seen to the left of Boromir, throwing stones. The next shot is of Merry and Pippin standing close together, looking at Boromir to their left - they have moved position to the other side of him.
After Boromir got shot, Merry and Pippin run forward with their swords preparing to skewer some Uruk-hai. But in the next shot when the Uruks grab them, I don't see the weapons anywhere. Did they spontaneously combust? or did Scotty accidentally beam up the swords just then?
When Boromir gets shot the first time, he's hit in the shoulder, right? But the second time he gets shot, the arrow hits the same shoulder and the first one is in his stomach. (by Alee)
During the slaying of Boromir by Lurtz, if you look on the ground there are tons of dead bodies, but when Lurtz is to put the last arrow into Boromir, you see Lurtz's feet, and there is nothing on the ground, and there are Uruki running past him, unblocked. I thought it was sorta funny how fast bodies that are supposed to be on the ground can move.
Look closely just after Boromir is shot a third time with an arrow. The Horn of Gondor has split neatly down the middle and the two halves are held together with an inner hinge of duct tape.
At the scene where Gimli and Aragorn fends off the orcs, right after Boromir has died, Gimli`s beard changes from two to one plaits in a matter of seconds.
In the Amon Hen battle scene, at the start of the fight with Lurtz, Aragorn is slammed backwards against a tree knocking his sword out of his hand. There is then a shot of Lurtz throwing his shield at Aragorn, and in the following shot, where the shield pins Aragorn against the tree, his sword is still in his hand, only to fly out again on the shield's impact.
Aragorn's mouth is badly bloodied when he is headbutted by Lurtz, but the blood disappears almost immediately.
Toward the end when Aragorn finally kills Lurtz, there's no blood whatsoever. Usually there is blood whenever someone dispatches an orc.
When Aragorn rushes down to Boromir as he is dying, in the bottom left hand corner you can see one of the supposedly dead Uruk-hai starts to get up! Also when Aragorn runs down he kicks one of the stunt guys and he jumps.
The Horn Of Gondor worn by Boromir is seen to be split in two after his fight with the orcs, however it is repaired when Aragorn comes to kneel by his side.
As Boromir and Aragorn talk right before Boromir dies, you can see Boromir's right hand gripping Aragorn's left shoulder in the shot from behind Aragorn's right shoulder, but when the camera view changes to Boromir's perspective, looking up at Aragorn, his hand is not there. The scene goes back and forth between these two views several times.
In Boromir's death scene, when Aragorn puts the sword into Boromir's hand, Aragorn's finger with the ring on is covered in blood. When we see his hands on Boromir's chest a second later, the blood has vanished.
At the end, when Aragorn leans over to kiss Boromir's forehead, watch Boromir. When Aragorn's hair touches his face, Boromir closes his eyes tight.
Near the end when Frodo has tears running down his face. In the first shot the tear on his right side is short and the left side tear is down to his chin. in the next shot they are reversed. Some people have said it's just that one tear lengthened and a new one started, but look at the right-hand one (the longer one in the first shot). If there was a new tear, we'd still see the damp path of the first one, but it's rolling down a dry cheek.
At the end of the movie, when Frodo takes the boat to continue on his own. Sam runs into the water to follow Frodo as he promised Gandalf. When Sam is about half way to the boat, he goes under water because he can not swim. He almost reaches the bottom of the flood, and does not swim up at any time. Suddenly, Frodo takes his hand and pulls him into the boat, but Frodo has not moved an inch and Sam did not swim to the surface.
When Frodo rescues Sam in the river near the end of the movie, he grabs his hand. After a moments pause Sam grabs Frodo's hand in return. But when the two break through the surface, the two hands are turned the wrong way. There is no way that they could have gripped each others' hands in that position.
Right after Frodo rescues Sam from drowning, in the boat Sam's left ear, camera side, is round and not pointed like it has been in the whole movie. This shot is repeated until the scene is over.
When Frodo pulls Sam into the elvish boat after saving him from drowning, you can see Sam's foot for a second, and you see he doesn't have his hobbit feet on. Sam pulls his foot under his cloak right away to hide it. Nevertheless, it is noticeable and a bit funny.
When Sam tried to follow Frodo (at the very end) and started drowning in the Great River, Sam was all the way under water. Frodo saved him, and then when you see that they are both in the boat again, Sam is COMPLETELY dry. Only his head is dripping wet. Frodo also reached in to save him, and Frodo's arm wasn't wet, either.
At the end of Fellowship when Boromir is going over the falls, the water that should be carrying him over the falls is actually flowing the wrong way. When he is right at the top of the falls the water looked as if it could push the boat back to shore.
Right at the end, when Aragorn is telling Legolas and Gimli what they are going to do next, Legolas' arrows change colour from bright yellow to bright green in two shots.
