Pippin was Bound… or?
In The Two Towers, the two hobbits Pippin and Merry find themselves in a tight spot. They are captured by a group of Uruk-hai. Some time later, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli arrive at the scene. There is no sign of the hobbits. Aragorn tries to read the traces and describes what he thinks happened.
In flashbacks, we see how the hobbits crawl along the ground, trying to cut the chains on their hands against a sharp rock. Aragorn even says, “They were bound.”
However, just before this, we see a shot in which Pippin is nearly trampled by a horse. His face is distorted with fear, and his arms are stretched far from his body. Yes, you read that right. Just before Pippin is supposed to be bound, he is free. This makes no sense in the chronology of events. In this case, the reason for the error is likely that different scenes were combined and the detail about the chains was overlooked in the edit.
