1. In a battle, if I didn't see an actual body being run through with a sword, shot by arrow, knived, axed or speared, it wasn't counted, although the character can be seen doing these actions.

2. If it wasn't run through with a sword, knifed, shot by an arrow, slashed with an axe, or gored with a spear, the body was merely knocked out, so it wasn't counted.

3. In scenes with dead bodies, I only counted if it clearly looked like a body, with the majority of the body showing. I didn't count shots of heads or limbs or blobs on the screen.

4. A lot of the counts in battles are minimums.

5. I didn't count the cutaways of Uruks entering Fangorn, it was darn near impossible to count. Please feel free to dispute me on this.

[Wraith]

468?!!! Wow.

[Amie]

Don't we count battle scenes if we can? Maybe the dead bodies are considered uncountable?

[Wraith]

I think the wargs should be miscellaneous

[Amie]

I didn't include the wargs or the Balrog in the total movie count.

All of that sounds correct to me. Thanks for doing this Amie!!!

[JenGe]

Question...do we have a seperate count for humans and creatures like I've specified in the Guidelines...

1...The human and creature counts should be separate. These will be added together for a final tally.

My reasoning is that some people are only going to want to know the tally for humans without the creature number on films with as big of a count as this one. If you already did it and I missed it just smack me.

[Amie]

OK, I modified the count above. That makes a big difference!

[wheels128]

But it's still 468? Four hundred and sixty-eight? Geez.

[JenGe]

Since this one is so high and replaces the current #1 I really do need to do it next. #1 films take precedence!!
