** Those familiar with Norse mythology (which were a key inspiration in Tolkien's writings) were probably reminded of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fafnir Fafnir]] and the Rhinegold at this point. If Thorin hadn't shaken off the corruption, his fate may have been far worse than mere gold sickness. He was becoming more and more a new Smaug in everything but form.

** And then consider the boys' ages. They're confirmed to be the youngest members of the Company and it's never made clear if Fíli and Kíli are even of age in dwarven society. Thorin, Dwalin, and Bilbo are forced to watch a young boy, who they all love and care deeply for, be stabbed through the chest with no one to comfort or hold him. And then Kíli also dies an equally terrible death without any of them being there for him, either.
** A significant chunk of the film focuses on parental worries, and doesn't spare a single race from it. Bard is in a constant state of fear and panic for his three children, Thranduil can be seen visibly losing his calm at the prospect of Legolas being on the battlefield, and Thorin, Bilbo, and Dwalin are faced with the horror of watching Fíli's impalement and not seeing or even learning (in Thorin's case) of Kíli's death. The dead bodies of several children are shown in Dale as well.
* Seeing Azog's body floating beneath the ice under Thorin's feet is just creepy. He then proceeds to stab Thorin through the foot with his massive sword as Thorin howls in pain.!

* The troll that Legolas causes to crash into the tower to make a bridge to fight Bolg is one of the most horrifying things that could be seen in the movie. Pale white, all four of its limbs cut off with weapons fixed onto the stumps, along with its ''[[EyeScream eyes put out]] with chains attached in their place''. The fact that Legolas kills the thing seems almost like a MercyKill.

* Legolas stabbing Bolg in the hand in the extended edition only for Bolg to look at the knife embedded in his hand, [[Main/SlasherSmile then smile sadistically]] before swiping it at Legolas's face. Oh yeah and you see the blood drip from Bolg's hand.
** Even worse is that on the commentary, is that Peter Jackson said that the majority of the extended edition had to be cut due to time, but this one had to be cut due to censors. Let us repeat, this film, which would have been bloody already, saw this one little scene as too extreme.
** Its even more horrible if you look at the MPAA's track record, given that so many people criticize it for violence. Since the hyperrealistic blood of the Orcs and Trolls are only for a second, and its merely BlackBlood, apparently the MPAA didn't seem to mind that. This one little sequence on the other hand, was enough for them to say to Peter "This is too much".
* In the extended edition, Thorin rides to Ravenhill while being covered by Balin, Dwalin, Fíli, and Kíli. The latter group rides in a war chariot armed with spiked wheels that not only slice through several orcs' legs, but ''decapitate six trolls in a row and disembowel a warg.'' Complete with hyperrealistic blood, no less.
