They both also look like the Toxic Avenger, aka “Toxie.”

But Sloth has the better complexion !

Actually, no again. Gothmog and Sloth are BOTH a total ripoff of Quasimodo in the 1939 classic “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Google Image search “Charles Laughton Hunchback” and you’ll see.

I love the movie but that orc took away from the movie because all I could see was Sloth from Goonies. Gothmog want a BabyRuth bar?

Several people actually giggled when General Gothmog first appeared on the screen during the midnight showing of this film. My friends weren’t really receptive to my theory that he looked like Sloth, it’s good to know now I’m not alone!

I completely agree with this one.

The first time I saw Return of the King, as soon as this character came one screen, I turned to my friend and said ‘ HEY YOU GUYS!’.

Actually, no.

They were told to create “something ugly” and the sculptor literally threw hunks of clay at the head sculpt. Peter came in, looked at it, and said “That works.”

That’s the nutshell version of how Gothmog came about.

He’s played by the same actor, by the way, who plays the Morgul Lord. (Same one who played Lurtz in the first film.) So he’s literally talking to himself in the scene were the WitchKing of Angmar is telling his general what he wants him to do.

And Peter Jackson’s retarded orc looks like the Toxic Avenger — full circle. (And Toxie was here first, btw!)

Nice – so much better than all “Contemporary Celebrity A looks like Contemporary Celebrity B” contributions we’ve been getting.

I must confess that when I first saw the movie when it came out, and I saw this character, this comparison was exactly what came to mind.

I’m gonna go full trivia-nerd on this one and say that Gothmog in the books is one of the Balrogs (fire demons) mentioned in The Silmarillion (Tokien’s book of background mythology for the Hobbit and LOTR books) the orc general wasn’t really in the books, but when they went to name this new character, Jackson and Co. named him Gothmog as a little nod to people who have managed to read The Silmarillion

I wonder if Sloth was the inspiration for Peter Jackson?
