* ImprobableAimingSkills: In addition to Legolas, who, as an elf, naturally demonstrates absurd skill, there's the opening battle of Mount Doom, where human archers shoot down orcs on the mountainside a good quarter mile away (long range for a modern infantry rifle, much less a bow). Perhaps justified if one accepts that it's Galadriel's recounting of events she didn't actually see but was simply told of.

* SequelHook: A particularly nasty yet uplifting one. Immediately following Boromir's fall, Frodo and Sam trudge off on their own path while Merry and Pippin were plucked away by the Uruk-hai in the final battle, leaving Aragon, Legolas and Gimli to start the hunt to save the latter pair of Hobbits while the former head into Mordor all by themselves. As the establishing part of the trilogy, cue the credits and, at the time of release, [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers waiting until next year]] or reading the book to see what happened next.
