Does anyone have any orcs or Uruk-Hai that stand out for them?
|
Can't Post

This is my first time starting a thread so I don't know if this has been discussed before but I was wondering if anyone has a favourite Orc or Uruk?
Either because they are particularly menacing or funny or just stand out to you for some reason?
I have a few but ill just name 2:
1: the Orc that shouts 'catapults' in ROTK with the skull on his head. I read some posts by some others who liked this one. He says his line with such macabre glee. And he is grotesque but humourous to behold.
2. Also from ROTK (same battle sequence even) there is an Orc in the first close up group shown when they are all chanting "Grond". He is the lightest one in the scene- front left- (I'd be surprised if anyone remembers him without viewing it) he is throwing his arm in the air and chanting. He looks like he could be cheering at a football match. He intrigues me for some reason.

I need to learn a few tricks for these forums ;). I'm watching ROTK right now. I'm about to see that first one. And then the third one so ill be on the look out. I just watched the part at Osgiliath though and I can't remember the second one... Is he the one who makes a clicking noise? The first one is great. Looks a bit punk rock!!

And to be honest this guy hasn't stood out to me before but I'm on the look at for him now. I think I'm so distracted by the horses and music I'm not looking at nasty orcses. But he seems to be a crowd pleaser so I'm looking forward to it :)

According to Star Wars Wikia there's at least three of them with this facial pattern. I remember one of them jumping out of one of the siege towers.

I wouldn't have believed it but I just saw two of them with my own eyes, jumping out of the siege towers. But if I wasn't watching it in freeze frame I wouldn't have seen them, so I could hardly call them stand out orcs haha. BUT I love knowing that they are there. I love Star Wars too so nice touch PJ

The inspector orc in Mordor, from the ROTK EE.
Honorable mention: The Isengarder orc that says: We don't have enough fuel to feed the fires."
These guys are hard, big-boned, a little wide, and short. As most orcs should be!

I like the noises they make too.  Although 'Catapults' is a bit of a classic.  theres also the orcses in the tower that find Frodo all tied up in the Shelob-web.
The only orc I dont like is one of the extras in the marching army in the Minas Morgul scene. There is one of them that woodenly twitches his head from left to right like an evil puppet, but it looks false and its a real scene ruiner for me. I remember seeing the close up of he orcextra and it kind of destroyed the moment for me.

some of the extras ruined a lot of the films atmosphere for me. That close-up of the orc extra did . The cloned children from the Shire/Rohan/Minas Tirith did, did they think we wouldnt notice? there are a couple of extras in particular a woman from Minas Tirith I remember from Rohan. The escaping Rohan kids irritated me. That Gondorian soldier with the hammy speech to Gandalf irritated me. extras always seem to get close-ups and they are sometimes not up to muster. I bet that extra who asks Bilbo where he is running off to will irritate me, cos he seems to have a weird English accent

This is the other one talking to shiny shirt guy (Shagrat) who says "It's going to the great eye along with everything else." (Gorbag). Even their names are handsome.

It's not so much the way he looks, it's the way he delivers his line. I remember it so vividly from the first time I saw ROTK at the movies. My friend and I were nearly crying with laughter when he said it. We were rather emotional at the time, with everything that had been happening in the story, so it was probably some light relief. I always look forward to this moment.

And, did it seem to anyone else that the later scene of him dodging the piece of wall was an attempt to add a little
hypocrisy-cowardice to the character? I can just imagine him thinking "Ha, there's no way that will hit me" Then, when he realizes he's about to die, he conveniently sidesteps and proceeds to spit on it. I remember thinking from the first time I saw the movie, "Hey--didn't he just say nobody move?"

When the siege towers of the orc army drops ramps onto the walls of the city and orcs start flooding in, in the extended version it shows the orcs coming out of a tower and into Minas Tirith. In one shot from the side of the siege tower, there is an orc that just falls off the ramp. He wasn't shot or anything; I guess he just got pushed off. That part always makes me laugh for some reason. :D

He's the first one I think of... but I also love the chicken-chattering Orc during the battle at Osgiliath and the MWAAAAAHHHHH Cirith Ungol Orc that gives a shout out when those pilfering Frodo's stuff start a fight and the one falls through the trap door and knock those below around.
I also love the no-nose Orc Commander that spots Frodo and Sam in costume hiding amongst the Orc Army in Mordor.
Gothmog is my least favourite.
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.
