Trivia
Balin the elder dwarf, who is in all three of The Hobbit films, is mentioned in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). The Fellowship discovers his tomb in the Mines Of Moria, and Gandalf reads from it: ("Here lies Balin, Son of Fundin, Lord of Moria")

Originally going to be only two films, the filming wrapped on July 6, 2012 after 266 days of principal photography. However, following the decision to split the story into three films, the two films became the first and last films, and the ending from the first film became the beginning of the now second film, and likewise the beginning of the Third film became the end of the second film. Additional scenes for the second film were written and shot during several months of summer 2013.

Goofs
When Bilbo is carrying his chest of treasure it appears to have little weight. If it was full of gold, it would weigh more than a hobbit could carry.

A tower falls over and becomes a bridge. When a tower goes over more than ten degrees it will fall over and become a pile of stones. It is impossible for it to rotate 180 degrees and become a self-supporting bridge.

Q
Is this movie based on a book?
A
The Battle of the Five Armies is the third part of a three-part adaptation of the novel The Hobbit, or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973). The first film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) covers the first six chapters of the novel and a few moments from the seventh chapter. The second film The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug covers the seventh through the 13th chapters. Finally, this film covers the remaining 14th through 19th chapters. Also, based on comments by Peter Jackson leading up to the release of the first Hobbit film There and Back Again, the movies may contain scenes based on the appendices from the novel The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, also by Tolkien.
Q
What's in the appendices of 'The Return of the King'?
A
J.R.R. Tolkien wrote extensively on every detail of the history of his fantasy world, seen in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Much of this writing exists not as narrative storytelling but as story notes and fictional historical accounts. The appendices to Return of the King are part of that extensive work. They were included in the book to give readers a better understanding of the history of Middle-Earth leading up to, including, and following the events of The Lord of the Rings. The appendices include detailed timelines, family trees and a pronunciation guide. Also included is a story not told in the books. This includes, but is not limited to, some of Gandalf's back story, the creation of the Rings of Power, and what happens to all the main characters of LotR after the original story. Peter Jackson has said that he has pulled a lot of information from these appendices to help fill out the story of the first two Hobbit films and to create a story for the third film. Tolkien's breadth of writing on Middle-Earth can also be found in books like The Silmarillion and the 12-volume series The History of Middle Earth, to which the filmmakers do not have rights.
Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
A
For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie.
