| Miranda O | Women | "Me and Liv Tyler "took combat fighting for women. It's so aggressive, and you realize women are just looking for a chance to release their tension. I actually stabbed someone in the neck, but he was dressed as an orc, so luckily I got him in the prosthetic!"... |
| Orlando | Grace, Archery | I had to train pretty extensively to get fluidity and the kind of grace and ease of movement that distinguishes an Elf. Training with the bow and arrow was a great way to find my character. I got pretty good. At the end, my archery instructor would throw a paper plate into the air, and I could nail it with an arrow. |

Swordplay | I was there five weeks before we began, to immerse ourselves in everything around us. We did a lot of research in rehearsals and choreographing sword fights. We developed our own styles as swordsmen. Elves have a very lethal but delicate movement. Boromir is like he is as a character, very decisive, straightforward and cutting. |
| Sean B | Swordplay | We spent about five weeks rehearsing the swordplay and getting used to the weapons. So, by the time we started, we all had our distinctive styles. Viggo and I had these big, heavy swords, real chopping blades. Occasionally, someone missed a move, and people got bruises and stuff. But if you imagine the amount of battle scenes that we were doing, there's always going to be somebody who gets a clunk. |
