Gandalf VS The Balrog (4K) EXTENDED : A Demon Of The Ancient World

the sound when he catches his sword mid fall sends chills down my spine. I love this scene so much!

Did they actually make Ian fall down a pit fighting the balrog ?

The Balrog would've and should've been Gandalf's brother.

One thing I really like about this scene, is when Gandalf shouts "you shall not pass!" Slams his staff into the bridge, and a flash of light ensues....and the Balrog takes a step back. I could be wrong, could just be the Balrogs natural reaction to this or, the Balrog recognises Gandalfs power and takes a step back.

the sound of glamdring spinning in the wind is....gosh, this gives me goosebumps and strong feels every friggin time

They should just sell the lore rights to Jackson. Nothing is going to top this

Man pulled a thor there

I can’t get over how Tolkien introduced a creature just as powerful as Sauron in the first book and had Gandalf smoke it’s ass in the second. Sauron probably would’ve lost to Gandalf

Legolas knows just how fearsome the Balrog is. Two of the mightiest elves lord, sacrificed themselves to defeat that thing. Glorfindel and Ecthelion. Both died fighting Balrog

The power of Window XP CGI.

It’s the “fly, you fools!!” That gets me everytime 😢

Esta escena en cine debio haber sido tremenda.🤘🏼

Sir Ian always looking dope! 🔥😎

The balrog totally saved the lot of them.

Note how the Balrog's way of falling is the same as that of the cave troll

One of the most amazing things ever committed to film.

Time to test the witch King of angmar

What an absolute chad Gandalf is

LOTR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GOT

I remembers this scene when I was a kid, I almost sht my pants😂

Can you imagine the writing of this scene.
“As the balrog fell, he throws his whip up to the edge of the bridge, catching Gandalf and bringing him down with him.
Gandalf, instead of being struck with fear as he surely falls to his death, is taken by anger, releasing the dog within him. and fighting that mf mid-air, impaling the balrog with his sword.

Gandalf says "a Balrog... " and the camera immediately shifts to show Legolas with his eyes glazed in horror because he's the only other one who has any idea what that even means.

The Balrog actually saved the fellowship.

Me working border patrol in Texas on a Tuesday afternoon.

The badassery and determination of gandalf's face while reaching Glamdring at the abys in beyond words. Not even a glimpse of doubt: "Im coming for your soul Demon of Morgoth!!!! "

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!"
Gets me everytime. Speechless. 😶

Killing demons and smoking weed, literally the perfect being

I've not seen these movies in years so maybe it's explained at some point but how did Gandalf and the balrog come to be at the top of a tower/mountain after having been shown falling into the deepest depths?

Then he comes back 10x stronger like a Saiyan

I thought it cut away when he was pulled off the bridge

Seeing this for the first time during my teens blew my mind!

You skipped the fly you fools part

Fun fact, Peter Jackson demanded that a real Balrog be used for this scene. After an extensive search in the caves of New Zealand, the production crew found one.

They should make a Balrog Pokémon out of it
Dark/Fire type with the ability to change to pure Dark when a Water Pokémon or Rain Dance is on the field. 👹🔥

One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.

One thing I've never noticed after countless rewatches of this scene, look at Gandalf the moment the camera zooms out after he breaks the bridge. He looks chill af

It has wings but insists on continuing to fall.

"Try that, Dumbledork."

Gandalf & Balrog defo had some beef to settle lol

This scene solidified Gandalf as fucking BADASS

this is my fav part of the whole movie🍿😧💖

Quite possibly the most Metal Movie moment of all time
