Geeks go to work on LOTR

Sharp-eyed movie fans have spotted more than 40 mistakes in the final installment of the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy.

They have so far submitted 45 continuity blunders to website moviemistakes.com which says more are coming in all the time.

They are mostly differences in the appearance of characters from scene to scene such as a scar which moves from Frodo's right cheek to his left cheek.

Website owner Jon Sandys says the site was never intended to be malicious - he only wanted to point out a few things people might never have seen before, even in films they'd seen many times.

Since then he has discovered that there are many other people out there who share his geeky hobby!
