* TroubledProduction: Post-production for this movie took much longer than expected.
** While editing the film, Jackson kept requesting more effects shots, more troops added to Pelennor Fields, and more live-action plates of Rohirrim on horseback.
** Gollum's death scene took more development time than any other shot, and the final result still looks a bit janky (there aren't any flames rising up around his body when he goes into the lava, unlike, for example, the T-800 submerging into the molten steel at the end of ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''.)
** Philippa Boyens says there wasn't enough time to relieve the sense of EndingFatigue by reworking the script so that it didn't have so many fake-out endings.
** The final print of the film wasn't delivered until the day before it premiered. At the premiere, Jackson admitted that this would be the first time he had a chance to watch the whole movie from start to finish.



** Originally, when the Black Gates opened and Aragorn seems to be entranced by the light of the Eye, which calls out to him. Originally this was meant to be the angelic form of Sauron.
