Like all movie sagas embedded in pop culture, Peter Jackson’s trilogy, adapted from the works of JRR Tolkien, has its share of Easter eggs and references. But are you sure you noticed them all?

at 2 hours, 48 ​​minutes and 13 seconds

For example, did you notice the two children huddling with their mother in the sparkling caverns before the Battle of Helm’s Deep is about to begin in the last part of The Two Towers?

To make sure you can see them clearly, pause the movie at 2 hours, 48 ​​minutes and 13 seconds, when the storm breaks and the Uruk-Hai rushes towards the walls.

We also get to see them on two other occasions in the trilogy, as they play two hobbits listening to Bilbo’s stories at the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring, and two young inhabitants of Minas Tirith watching people pass by. Faramir and his men in The Return of the King.

It should also be noted that their father Peter Jackson also offered three cameos in his saga. We can see him biting a carrot as the hobbits cross the town of Bree, throwing a javelin over the walls at the Battle of Helm’s Deep, and commanding a pirate crew in the Return of the King.
