- The original novel was originally written in one go, but due to the severe shortage of paper after World War II, the cost of such a thick book was too high, so the author had to divide it into three parts and rename it.
- The crew was fortunate to find a swordsmith who was "like a wrestler" from Wellington. This man used ancient methods to build weapons and never used modern equipment such as airbrushes. Therefore, a sword usually takes 3 to 6 days to complete. After the filming of the trilogy movie, there are hundreds of swords made in this way.
- The crossbow used by Uruk-Hai in the movie is a sliding rod type.
- The swordsmanship guide of the crew is a swordsman who played Lord Black's stand-in. The action designs of warriors of different races in the movie are not the same. Orlando Bloom also has to learn the fighting style of the elves.
- The shot of Gulu catching fish in the creek was taken in the freezing winter. The crew used all the searchlights and blowers, and even called the fire brigade to clear the snow and ice on the stream.
- Many of the buildings in the movie were shot on miniature models, and at this time, we can only rely on these "warriors" to preview. The crew seemed to be scouring the toy soldiers all over the world. Many buildings are a quarter of the actual scene, with a total width of fifty feet.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers quotes
-
[Aragorn walks through the ranks of Elven defenders of Helm's Deep]
Aragorn: [In Elvish] Show them no mercy... for you shall receive none!
-
Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.
Aragorn: [whispering to Eowyn] It's the beards.
Gimli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no Dwarf-women, and that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!
[Eowyn laughs]
Gimli: Which is, of course, ridiculous.
