Willow (1988 film)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Billing Displacement: Warwick Davis gets third billing despite playing the main character.
  • Deleted Scene:
    • There is a continuity error that involves the Magic Acorns Willow was given by the High Aldwin. During an interview with The Empire Podcast, Warwick Davis explained that in a scene near the end of the film, he throws a second acorn and is inexplicably out after having only used two of the three Magic Acorns he had been given earlier in the film. Included in the Blu-ray release is the cut scene, in which Willow uses an acorn (his second) in a boat during a storm and accidentally turns the boat to stone. Davis says that his hair is wet in the next scene that did make it into the original version of the film, but the acorn is never referenced.
    • A scene was filmed but cut, which during the battle at Tir Asleen, Sorsha finds her father whom has been turned to stone by Bavmorda and Sorsha's father communicates with Sorsha and pleads with Sorsha to side with Willow and Madmartigan and help them protect Elora Danan and defeat Bavmorda. Hence Sorsha betraying Bavmorda and succumbing to Madmartigan's affections for her.
