I also thought it was really cool, although the pronunciation was slightly wrong: it should be pronounced an-DÚ-ril, with the stress falling on the penultimate syllable, since there's a long vowel there.
@@ugn154 oh, no doubt! Andúril is a word from one of Tolkien's elvish languages (Quenya, in this case), which has very regular stress rules. That's what I was referring to.
Fun fact: He was a pro swordsman too, their trainer said that Viggo was his best student ever. You have to watch the "behind the scenes" from the Fellowship of the Ring to see that. He was no noob and he even defended himself from a real dagger been thrown at him in full speed. Ofc that dagger was suppose to be fake but that urk-hai actor did forgot that 😂

Bob Anderson taught squat to Errol Flynn, he only ever started doing any kind of movies in the 1950s. Errol Flynn's best swashbuckling films were all made in the 1930s and early 1940s. When Anderson came in, Flynn was long past his prime and hopped up on alcohol and God knows what else.

First movie I remember seeing in theaters when I was 5. Just took my 5 year old daughter to see it during its re-release 23 years later. Those movies achieved perfection because of the respect and commitment the entire cast and crew held for the source material. Tolkien would be proud.
@@mark9294 My fiancé posed the same, as did my mom. Fair ask and it may not be for all kids that age, but I remember falling in love with it and growing up with it after. As did my fiance, we both had walls in our bedrooms entirely dedicated to them. But I had confidence in her, and she loved it like I did. Better behaved than half the adults in the theatre.
I love this moment! To see Viggo light up, and also remain humble in a fun way, about the size of the sword on screen, haha 😍 Thank you for sharing this video!
*I remember when the first movie came out and at that time I had NEVER heard of LoTR and had NO desire to see it but my ex's co-worker wanted to see it, etc so we went to see it. Within moments of the movie starting I was captivated!! I was already a Viggo fan from seeing him in the Prophecy movie. I became a fan of the world of LoTR after that movie.*
Reminder that the first time Aragorn holds the Hero-version (Hero version means the high detail one not used in combat) he is seeing it for the first time himself as an actor. He was supposed to only pull it out a few inches and examine the blade, but he pulls it out and holds it up like a kid in a candy shop, genuinely amazed to see it, and that made the final cut. When he says "You need sharp eyes, or you'll miss it", he's almost certainly talking about the Hero-version he holds here, which sadly only shows up in close up shots, although it's one of the most beautiful swords in the series. Mostly you see the combat version with the rounded aluminum blade.

Depends what kind of replica it is. I have one very beautiful one at home, but its like 440 stainless, so it wont rust... and also is overly heavy and would not survive any mildly serious fencing. :-D Maybe this one is better.
Gotta love him...I remember he was really into his role, being Aragorn for three years of production time. He sometimes took Anduril with him in his spare time, some people called the police when he took it to restaurant.

I’ve just seen all three extended movies (or as I call them, full versions) at my local cinema - it was awesome! 11am to just past midnight but so worth it!
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king....
To be the King of the best trilogy ever to be made is something that will be remembered. His name will never die. 20+ years later and I still watch the full trilogy at least once a year. Looking forward to showing my sons the movie once they are a bit older!
Elrond: Anduril....Flame of the West. Forged from the shards of Narsil Aragorn: Sauron will not have forgotten the Sword of Elendil......the Blade that was broken shall return to Minas Tirith Elrond: The man who can wield the power of this sword can summon to him an army more deadly than any that walks this earth. Put aside the ranger, become who you were born to be, take the Dimholt road.

It's so cool that as a guy from Northern Netherlands I can understand half the Danish sentences he's speaking. I didn't even know he was Danish to be honest, but I almost understood the language without ever interacting with it before. It shows how these languages are connected from a past now long forgotten.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
Narsil is my name, a mighty sword; Telchar made me in Nogrod.” "Sun. I am Andúril who was once Narsil, sword of Elendil. The slaves of Mordor shall flee from me. Moon".
Remember how Viggo's son is the one responsible for why he took the role of Aragorn, so him having this reaction is probably a thank you to his son and all of us for being his foundation. :)
I know he's half Danish but this is the first time hearing him speak Danish and of course he sounds like a native. Awesome that Aragorn is half Danish which is close to Tolkien's love for Norse mythology.
Do you ever have moments where you see someone from your childhood that was at their peak when you were young, then see them a couple decades later and experience immense dread because of how much they've aged? Viggo looking like my grandpa, holy crap, I feel like I've got one foot in the grave.
I saw all of these movies in the theater when they came out. They always came out right around my birthday and it became a short tradition to go see the next one for my bday
he gave the original to one of those tonight show guys, I forget which one lol but I just saw a recent interview with viggo on that same show and they talked about the sword on his wall and how it was the original.
I don't think people realize this man was already 43 when the movies were filmed/came out, he looks extremely good for someone coming up on 70 years old.
At 108 years old, he’s finally starting to show his age.

❤❤ Takk!
An English (American) speaking actor, listening to and understanding a Norwegian interviewer, replying primarily in Danish.
Multilingual beast, Viggo.
This guy is so classy and smart, a good actor and a good guy !
Brought a smile in my face. The man is such a dear fellow.
It's so cool that as a guy from Northern Netherlands I can understand half the Danish sentences he's speaking. I didn't even know he was Danish to be honest, but I almost understood the language without ever interacting with it before. It shows how these languages are connected from a past now long forgotten.
As a Swede I usually think of Nederlands as a mix of English, German and the Scandinavian languages. Especially Danish.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Viggo honestly looks more Numenorean here than in the movies. I think it's because he's got no beard.
the gray hair makes him look epic. awesome seeing him hold anduril again.
Narsil is my name, a mighty sword; Telchar made me in Nogrod.”
"Sun. I am Andúril who was once Narsil, sword of Elendil. The slaves of Mordor shall flee from me. Moon".
Viggo is a classic hollyood actor - charm, professional, humble, talented and above all class.
The Return of The Sword to The Return of The King.
I get the feels when Viggo caught a glimpse of Andúril.
Remember how Viggo's son is the one responsible for why he took the role of Aragorn, so him having this reaction is probably a thank you to his son and all of us for being his foundation. :)
I cannot fathom anyone else falling so naturally into that roll. GOD I love those movies so much. They will never be topped.
And he still speaks perfect Elvish! What a true King.
I know he's half Danish but this is the first time hearing him speak Danish and of course he sounds like a native. Awesome that Aragorn is half Danish which is close to Tolkien's love for Norse mythology.
GOD: *How many languages will you speak in your life, Viggo?* - Viggo: *YES.*
i will follow you my brother ,my captain,my king.
Do you ever have moments where you see someone from your childhood that was at their peak when you were young, then see them a couple decades later and experience immense dread because of how much they've aged?
Viggo looking like my grandpa, holy crap, I feel like I've got one foot in the grave.
Hurts my heart him looking so much older 🥹
Ride with me!
For death & glory !
I saw all of these movies in the theater when they came out. They always came out right around my birthday and it became a short tradition to go see the next one for my bday
Elendil!!!!!!!
His English is so fluent... it's really cool to hear him speak his mother tongue
I thought he kept the sword after production along with his horse
This is obviously a copy. Anyone can buy this.
he gave the original to one of those tonight show guys, I forget which one lol but I just saw a recent interview with viggo on that same show and they talked about the sword on his wall and how it was the original.
@@claytonbarnes6644 It was probably Stephen Colbert, he’s one of the biggest Tolkien fans in the world
I don't think people realize this man was already 43 when the movies were filmed/came out, he looks extremely good for someone coming up on 70 years old.
damn, Aragorn looks old now. He must be 267 years old now.
Over 20 years later and I am just NOW realizing he is Danish. Holy shit, now I love him even more!
