Were they not allowed 1 swear word in each film to keep the same age rating in the US? Of course probably different for other languages, but I think this would be a good case to make use of it.
The actors who played Merry and Pippin discussed this in a video once, and went back and forth on where they'd put it. I particularly liked a suggestion in Moria: "I'm so fuckin' sorry."
But the best reply to this idea is Boromir at the council: "The trilogy has no f-bomb. The trilogy needs no f-bomb."
If we're talking Two Towers I want to save the f-bomb for when Aragorn tosses Gimli at Helms Deep. Gimli just roars "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!" as he flies through the air.
Traditionally, the PG-13 rating allows for one f-bomb. I don't remember if these films were PG-13 or not.
It was PG in the UK, think they raised it to 12 more recently. But the US rating was PG-13.
It made me learn a new ent swear word tho!
