1) As the ring melts, and sauron's power disapates, his evilness gathers into one large dark cloud, resembling a mighty fist, and aimed towards our hero's, it extends one evil finger, before the winds blow it all away.

2) Using the force, the one ring changed direction in mid descent to tumble through the reactor exaust vents, and reaches the reactor, where with a large explosion, the death st...castle is destroyed.

3) Aragorn turns to Arwen and says, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a Morgoth."

4)Arwen and Eowyn mud wrestle. Hey, it doesn't fit in with the themes of the film, but ooooh, the filming was fun.

[Laugh] [ROFL] Stop! My mother's class is staring!

5.) As Gollum falls, he yells, "And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you pesky hobbits, and your star-in-a-jar, too!"

6) Frodo sits down to dinner with Sam and Saruman, who bought the Christmas goose, and says "God bless us, every one."

7) Frodo clicks his heels together three times and wakes up to realize that Gandalf is just his Uncle Gary, Sauron was the nasty neighbor, Aragorn is his brother Bill, and Sam his faithful dog.

8) Frodo is almost foiled as a giant marshmallow man tries to stop him, only to explode into fire because of the Cracks of Doom as the hobbit throws the ring.

10) Sam and Frodo walk side-by-side into the gloom of Mordor, as Frodo mutters, “I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.”

IN THE FILM: Frodo, preparing to leave Middle Earth, hugs Sam tenderly, kisses him on the forehead, and stares with loving eyes at his dearest friend.

CUT FROM THE FILM: Frodo and Sam suddenly fall together, lips locked, their carnal passions suddenly aflame.

I knew this was an evil thing to start. You have all been really evil in your ideas. Keep it up.

12) Frodo wakes up and here's the shower running. He goes into the bathroom and throws open the curtain to reveal Bilbo taking a shower. The entire last year was but a dream.

13) To prepare for the next installment, Samwise is taunted into jumping a shark on water ski's.

14) Elrond touches an Orc and it becomes another Agent Smith. That Orc touches two others. Before long Sauron's entire army is a million Agent Smiths...

15) Frodo discovers that he is, in fact, the 24th coming of Rand al'Thor, and, rather than discard the ring, uses it to beat the Forsaken. Sadly, though, it costs him his soul.

16) Just as he is about to throw the ring into Mount Doom, Gollum comes running down the stone stairs with a knife. They struggle, and during the struggle, Gollum's wig falls off revealing he is--FRODO'S INSANE MOTHER! [Eek!]

Gollum is sent to a Middle Earth mental institution, where he sits perfectly still all day, staring at nothing, catching a fly every once in a while with his tongue.

17) As the ring sizzles below and the land of Mordor begins to crumble, Frodo turns defiantly to Sauron and yells "You are the weakest link!"

In despair at not reaching the Lake of Fire, Frodo and Sam find a Quik-E-Mart in Mordor and begin hanging around the front of it, yelling obscenities at passing female orcs. Frodo lets his hair grow long and becomes entertainingly abusive, while Sam gets bigger and more quiet, preferring to smoke silently and just roll his eyes at Frodo's comments.

Then Gandalf gets jumped by some demon-spawned hockey-playing kids...

Frodo encounters Sauron, who reveals that he is Frodo's father. Also his cousin on Frodo's mother's side. Then they chop each other's hands off.

18) The whole Buz Berkley dance number, with a chorus line of Orc woman, and lines of scantilly clad Troll women diving into the lake of fire with grace and elegance just couldn't be fit. Expect it on the EE DVD.

As Gandalf Crowns Aragorn, He pops a short stogie in his mouth and says "I love it when a plan comes together."

Samwise leaves Frodo standing on a wooden gravemarker with a noose around his neck.
As Sam rides off with the ring Frodo cries out.

Blondie.....Blooondie.......Bloooooondieeeeeeeeeeee

Sauron shows up and bashes Frodo with a succesion of quick uppercuts and Frodo falls into the crack of Doom. As he falls he lets out one final call, "Adriannnnnn. Adriannnnnnnn"

An extremely large woman wearing a viking helmet begins to sing.

Captain Jack Sparrow hijacks an Elven ship departing for the Western Shores and they all turn to lives of piracy. And they talk like pirates too.

Sauron throws off his evil costume and breathlessly says to Frodo "You have saved me, my... son..."

As the credits are rolling, we are "teased" with scenes of the main characters 15 years later. A balding but surprisingly spry Frodo smiles, puts on the one ring and goes from home to home in the Shire peeking in bedroom windows.

That would be pretty neat. Seeing how the characters would be in 15 years.

At the end, the lyrics for "Mad World" play, and we see Gollum smile and laugh as he wakes up right before he plunges into Mount Doom...

-- Two guys appear out of thin air in a telephone booth and catch Gollum as he falls toward the fire, then disappear in a crackle of electricity with Wild Stallions air guitar sounds in the background.

-- Frodo takes the ring home to the Shire after making Sauron an offer he can't refuse, and having a severed Nazgul head placed in his sheets. All the hobbits then have a big party where they ask Frodo for favors and kiss the One Ring.

-- Frodo and Sam steal one of the Nazgul dragon things and fly to the top of Barad-dur, where they interface with the Eye of Sauron using a macintosh computer and create gaps in the defenses so Aragorn and a bunch of farmers can ride through and destroy everything in Mordor... then give a stirring nationalistic speech.

-- As the black shadow thingies come to take Gollum's ghost away, Frodo sees a bright light above him and tells Sam he loves him, to which Sam replies "ditto". Frodo then disappears into the bright light as Whoopie Goldberg looks on.

While Frodo is in a coma, Sam comes to realize he is actually attracted to Smeagol. But Smeagol, bound by honor, rebuffs Samwise. But in the end, a loveless union is narrowly averted when everyone comes clean.

Sam comes back to Mount Doom years later with a documentary crew, to see the spot where his beloved friend Frodo died, and he plunges in after him.

Sam and Frodo get lost in Fangorn Forest on their way to Mordor and spend the entire time running about frantically trying to find the Ent Witch. At one point, Frodo stares horrified into the ring, and exclaims: "I'm so sorry...I wish the ring had never come to me! I'm sorry!"

The movie ends with a sappy montage of supposedly heart touching scenes set to supposedly tear jerking music.

Oh wait..... That’s how he DID end it. Stupid hallmark commercial loving freak.

Wait! There's one plot thread still left untied! Where are the Ent-wives? Treebeard wants to know. Where are the Ent-wives? (Hooom!)

The ending needed to show Frodo finding the Ent-wives, and trying to play marriage counsellor.

-- Frodo makes a heart-breaking farewell speech to Sam which include the line "the hardest thing in the world, is to live in it" before taking a dive into the molten lava of Mount Doom in order to save the world. Sauron is seen crying devastated at the scene and ends up taking care of Sam during the summer until Frodo is resurrected by Gandalf. Later Frodo and Sauron have graphic sex with eachother while Gandalf gives in to the dark side and flays Saruman.

Frodo hangs on to the side of the cliff, with Sam there, holding his hand. Frodo explains that Sam must go on, and be old, and have kids. Sam then mutters inaudibly to Frodo "I'll never let go, Frodo, never let go." He then lets him go into the deep abiss of Mt. Doom. Then reaching into his pocket he realizes he still has the ring. He holds in to his chest, and with a deep breath, tosses over into the fires of Mt. Doom. We then see a picture of Sam, naked, with the ring on the chain around his neck.

Guys, the secret is out. The entwives didn't leave the ents at all. The ents murdered them. They tell that sob story to nature-loving losers to get them on their good sides.
 
Posted by Ron Lambert (Member # 2872) on :
 
So, we're really setting the stage for a followup to the LOTR trilogy, The Stepford Ent-wives?
 
Posted by Ron Lambert (Member # 2872) on :
 
Aragorn and Arwen live happily ever after, until the son Arwen foresaw they would have becomes a teenager and turns toward the dark side, secretly forging a new ring of power. This is a lead-in to a TV series, The New Lord of the Rings.

Since the elves all leave Middle Earth, the dwarves decide to take over the vacated Rivendell. The dwarf women are so impressed by the graciousness and beauty of Rivendell, that they decide to shave off their beards.

(A nod to Maccabeus on this one:)
Gandalf discovers Treebeard's deep, dark secret. The Ent-wives aren't really lost. Treebeard and his cronies MURDERED them. They were counting on Sauron to manufacture Stepford Ent-wives for them. Gandalf decides there is nothing wrong with Fangorn Forest that a good forest fire won't cure. So he calls on his old friend, Saruman, who makes the napalm to get things started.

Eowen, on the rebound from Aragorn, hooks up with Faramir, and they become king and queen of Rohan together. Eomer is resentful of this, however, and plots to bring down his brother-in-law. This is another lead-in to a continuing TV series.

The hobbits return to the Shire and find that some bully has organized a petty little dictatorship, and they organize a resistance that sorts out the bully and his henchmen and frees the Shire. Oh wait--that's the actual ending in the book that Jackson left out.

I thought they included every concievable ending. People stood up and cheered three times before it ended.

Frodo makes it to the volcano at the center of the orc city, where he is confronted by Sauron, who points out that he has arranged the whole trilogy to give Frodo the excitement and adventure that he craves. Frodo has some trouble remembering his next line, but finally, in a wondering voice exclaims, “you have no power over me!” causing the entire realm of Mordor to dissolve and Frodo to find himself back in the shire.

Sam and Frodo are about to enter Mt. Doom, when they have to cross a narrow stone arch. As they attempt to cross a gaurdian appears and demands to know their names. Frodo and Sam give their names, upon which the gaurdian demands to know their quest. Frodo and Sam give their quest (To seek the holy doom), and just as the guardian is about to demand to know their favorite color, several 1930's era paddy wagons drive up, blocking their path. Cops jump out and start cuffing the entire cast, including Sauron who keeps sticking out his tough and going "Poof!", followed by, well, nothing. They find Aragorn, Arwen and Eowyn, making out in a cave to the right, and Saruman and Gandalf playing chess just across the arch. The show is abruptly canceled.

Galdalf, at the very beginning of FOTR, has his eagle friend Gwahir give Frodo a lift to Mt. Doom. Frodo, who hasn't yet succumbed to the ring's pull, tosses it into the Crack of Doom. Roll credits.
 
Posted by Javert Hugo (Member # 3980) on :
 
Okay, why didn't the eagles just take Frodo to Mt. Doom?
 
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
 
Eagles are easy to spot in the sky. They could be attacked, shot down, bespelled before they got close.

THe Stealth Eagle had yet to be invented.
 
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
 
Gandalf failed to think outside the box?
 
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
 
Actually, I think that it's because the eagles were their own people, with their own concerns. They didn't really have a whole lot to do with elves, humans, dwarves, hobbits, or any other sentient race. Their helping out Gandalf was a fairly exceptional event, as was their rescue of the hobbits. Galdalf couldn't just command them to do something. Maybe he assumed that it would be useless to even ask them to do it in the first place?
 
Posted by Princess Leah (Member # 6026) on :
 
Not in the contract. [Smile]

Frodo ends up keeping the One Ring, and on his return to the Shire picks up whatever other bits of shining gold he can find to wear on a chain around his neck, thus fulfilling the promise of the Return of the Bling.

This isn't an ending, but it is a scene cut out that I expect to make it into the DVD-EE:

Prior to the battle before the Black Gate of Mordor, the fellowship, minus Frodo, Sam, and Boromir, ride forward.

Cut:

Insert not found in film:

Gandalf takes his staff and bangs twice upon the gate. Each bang is a loud echoing knock.

"Who is there?" says this deep bass voice that vibrates the very rocks of Mordor.

Closeup of Gandalf's face. He smiles. "Banana" he answers.

Confused the sinister voice responds, "Banana? Banana who?".

Gadalf knocks twice more--Bang, Bang.

"Who is there?"
"Banana" yells Pippin, always one to cause trouble.
"Banana Who?"

For a third time, Boom, Boom goes the staff knocking on the door.

"Who is there!!!" demands the evil mouth of Sauron.

"Banana!" sings Legolas, stifling a laugh.

"Who is this Banana!" The evil voice is not happy.

BOOOOM. BOOOM the staff knocks.

The evil voice is now filled with riotous anger, "WHO IS THERE!!!" Rocks on the summits fall crashing to the ground at the sound of this shout.

Gandalph make a signal for silence from his companions. "Orange!" he declares.

"Now its Orange? Orange Who?" the Mouth of Sauron demands.

"Orange you glad I didn't say Banana?" says Gandalf as our hero's start giggling.

It is this bad joke that drives the Army of Sauron to attack.

Can you blame them?

As they descend into the valley of Mordor, Sam and Frodo are captured and tied to a stake. However, instead of giving the ring to Sauron, the Orcs decide to use the ring themselves. Frodo tries to warn the orcs, but they don't listen. "DON'T LOOK AT THE RING, SAM," Frodo shouts. As the orcs put on the ring, lightning cracks, and smoke comes out of the ring. The faces of all those that look at the ring melt off. Only Frodo and Sam are left alive. The ring is then put in a crate and left in a room with thousand of other crates.
 
Posted by Ron Lambert (Member # 2872) on :
 
Peter Jackson couldn't use that ending, Kavon, because Harrison Ford wasn't available to play Aragorn.
 
Posted by Gottmorder (Member # 5039) on :
 
As the boat pulls up, everyone is stunned to see Elvis emerge from within. What, you thought Aragon was the king?

Frodo and Sam enter Mt. Doom, only to find out the ring's true purpose and activate Mordor's Death Star. Jackson is supposedly going to make a sequal called Lord of the Rings: Hobbits in Space.
