Did you know Sir Christopher Lee served in WWII? He even showed Peter Jackson what a real stabbing sounds like for Saruman's death scene he had served in the British Secret Service! 😱

Germany before and after World War II and why it had to be destroyed… • “And it was during the Olympics in 1936 in Berlin that people actually saw how advanced Germany really was…” • “More German soldiers died in Allied prison camps than died in combat during the six years of war.”

Peter Jackson on the greatness of Sir Christopher Lee: "Christopher spoke seven languages; he was in every sense, a man of the world; well versed in art, politics, literature, history and science. He was scholar, a singer, an extraordinary raconteur and of course, a marvelous actor. One of my favourite things to do whenever I came to London would be to visit with Christopher and Gitte where he would regale me for hours with stories about his extraordinary life. I loved to listen to them and he loved to tell them - they were made all the more compelling because they were true - stories from his time with the SAS, through the Second World War, to the Hammer Horror years and later, his work with Tim Burton - of which he was enormously proud. I was lucky enough to work with Chris on five films all told and it never ceased to be a thrill to see him on set. I remember him saying on my 40th Birthday (he was 80 at the time), “You’re half the man I am”. Being half the man Christopher Lee is, is more than I could ever hope for. He was a true gentleman, in an era that no longer values gentleman. I grew up loving Christopher Lee movies. For most of my life I was enthralled by the great iconic roles he not only created - but continued to own decades later. But somewhere along the way Christopher Lee suddenly, and magically, dissolved away and he became my friend, Chris. And I loved Chris even more. There will never be another Christopher Lee. He has a unique place in the history of cinema and in the hearts of millions of fans around the world."

The German officer Wilhelm Hintersatz, who later changed his name to Harun, is seen praying during the war alongside the Ottomans following the German–Ottoman alliance. Wilhelm Hintersatz, an aide to Enver Pasha during World War I, was deeply impressed by Islamic justice and culture. He later served as a colonel in the German army during World War II, where he commanded Turkestan legions.

Sir Christopher Lee had met Tolkien in real life, and because he constantly reread The Lord of the Rings, he would often offer Peter Jackson advice on how Saruman should speak on set. During the long Orthanc speeches, he would occasionally step in and say, “Saruman wouldn’t speak like that,” helping keep the character’s tone closer to Tolkien’s vision. This makes sense, since in the books one of Saruman’s greatest powers was his voice. RIP Sir Christopher Lee 🙏

🇺🇦🇵🇱 Bandera's anthem, btw. Tusk's grandfather served in the SS during World War II. After the war, he lived out his youth quietly in Poland, hiding his youth as best he could. His love towards Ukraine & Nazi collaborator Bandera is very clear 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Sir Christopher Lee was deeply disappointed when Saruman’s death was cut from the theatrical Return of the King. As a devoted Tolkien fan, he felt it was “shocking” for such a major character to simply vanish. In protest, he refused to attend the world premiere. Peter Jackson argued the scene slowed the pacing yet the Extended Edition restored it: Saruman stabbed by Gríma and falling from Orthanc. And the most iconic detail? During filming, Jackson asked Lee to scream when stabbed. Lee replied: “Do you know what sound a man makes when he’s stabbed in the back? Because I do.” Thanks to his WWII experience, he explained a real stab produces only a sharp gasp not a scream.

Do I have any CCR fans out there? This song ‘Bad Moon Rising’ was popular during the Vietnam War. My husband who served in Nam during the war, said it served as an omen to he and other soldiers at the time.
