Lord Of The Rings & Hobbit: 12 BIGGEST Mistakes We Have To Live With

12. Gandalf & Saruman's (Unintentionally) Hilarious Fight

As you'd expect, bad scenes are very hard to find in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but there are a couple here and there. This fight scene between Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Saruman (Christopher Lee), which occurs as Saruman reveals he has joined Sauron, is one of them.

This is supposed to be an intense scene in which Gandalf discovers an old friend has betrayed him, but instead it's more likely to have viewers howling with laughter.

The sight of these two old men, with their long hair and cloaks, flying and spinning through the air is unintentionally hilarious and meme-worthy, to the point where it's impossible to take seriously.

And yes, it is very entertaining as a result, but in entirely the wrong way and certainly not what Peter Jackson was aiming for.
