- The Mumakil battle on the Pellenor fields is highly reminiscent of the Battle of Hoth.
- The helmet of the Witch King looks like the mask of the bad guy in the Scream films

Yep, it *is* rather reminiscent of the Hoth battle. *chuckles* I saw that a while ago, when I first saw it.

"The helmet of the Witch King looks like the mask of the bad guy in the Scream films"

quite. it's one of the most abysmal bits of design in the entire trilogy of films. "So the witch-king of angmar is supposed to be sauron's most feared general, and terrifying? well, let's give him a comedy helm then, that'll do the trick"

gah. what were they thinking?

The thing is, as explained in the extras, it was originally a different design (tall, straight cylindrical, with long spiky bits), similar to Sauron's helmet in the prelude sequence in Fellowship. It was abandoned because of that similarity...
