2. The Mysterious Car
One of the more famous LOTR movie mistakes takes place during the first quarter of The Fellowship of the Ring. After Frodo is presented with the grueling task of becoming the next ring bearer, he and Sam begin their adventure. Shortly after their departure, Sam stops and says “If I take one more step, it’ll be the farthest away from home I’ve ever been.”
The shot then zooms out, giving a beautiful scenic shot of the rolling hills behind them; if you look in the far right hand corner, however, a car can be seen driving down the dirt road. Now clearly cars didn’t exist in Middle Earth, which is why Peter Jackson edited out the car for the DVD version of the movie, so unless you spotted the car in the theatrical version, you’re out of luck. However, the dirt cloud made by the passing car can still be seen. So if you want to see the ghost car, watch for the mysterious gust of dirt appear behind the two hobbits.
