[THE UNCONFIRMED AND UNCOUNTED]<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once again, I did not count Orcs knocked down or punched by soldiers, due to the unlikeliness of fatalities. I kept to the minimum at all times when counting large groups of Orcs being killed. If I was unsure of a kill, I didn\u2019t count it. I also didn\u2019t count people hitting offscreen without a victim being shown, because there is no way of confirming whether or not a hit was fatal. I didn\u2019t count Wargs or horses in the final tally. The Balrog is debatable, but I counted it anyway.
\nThousands are implied to have been killed in the Battle of Helm\u2019s Deep and the Flooding of Isengard. I did not count Legolas\u2019 and Gimli\u2019s tallies of their own kills, I only counted the kills I saw them perform. I also did not count the bodies seen in the aftermath of the battle, because most of themn were likely already shown dying in the battle. I also did not count the Orcs running into the forest at the end as kills, because their deaths are also never shown, although they are implied.
\nThe “Forth Eorlingas scene is nearly impossible to count, but 77 is the number I came up with. Theoden kills many of them, but due to the CGI, it’s impossible to tell how many he is killing. Legolas’ kills are likewise impossible to make out. Aragorn’s kills are easier, since he is shown to be separate from the rest of the group on the left, and Jaws managed to count seven of them before they also became impossible to count.
\nI also didn’t count the corpses in the dead marshes, as they kind of fall under the site’s policy for skeletons and corpses, especially since they are clearly just props.<\/p>\n
