Line 125:
* [[Call That a Formation]]?: While lip service is paid to forming battle-lines, the battles quickly devolve into total chaos.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Legolas, who tells the audience what a diversion is. ''Every single line'' he's given in the film is a [[Captain Obvious]]. The writers joke about it on the commentary.
* [[Cast the Expert]]:
** In addition to the lead actors who were trained on horses, and numerous digital extras, the Riders of Rohan were portrayed by regular horse riders from all across New Zealand who came with their own horses to act as extras.
** For ''[[The Return of the King]]'', The New Zealand Army provided extras for the final battle in front of the Black Gate. Behind the scenes commentary on the DVD's makes note of how good they were as following directions and setting up formations, as well as how much enthusiasm they brought to the combat scenes.
* [[Catapult Nightmare]]: Aragorn had one of these in ROTK.
* [[Cavalier Consumption]]: Denethor is more interested in eating his chicken and tomatoes than he is in Faramir's safety.
