*CORRECTIONS:
*"Weta" is not the nickname of the many species of New Zealand giant crickets but rather their common name, stemming from the Maori word "Wētā".
*Viggo Mortensen used Super Glue, not gum, to re-attach his chipped tooth during filming (specifically Hot Stuff Super T Medium Instant CA Glue - 1oz HST-7)
*Chris referred to second-unit director Geoff Murphy as a young director, he was, in fact, one of the oldest directors on set (and quite well known in New Zealand for the road show "Good Bye Pork Pie").
*According to Weta employee Raymond Massa the Gothmog mask (designed by Bill Hunt) was not designed to look like Harvey Weinstein. Rather, there was a pull-over mask used for background orcs that resembled Weinstein.
