Tom Bombadil gets no respect. When does he get into a movie?
Watching the 1991 Lord of the Rings film — produced by Soviet Russian public broadcasting.
Woah! Tom Bombadil shows up in the Soviet Lord of the Rings and breaks through the fourth wall, talking directly to the audience.
I don’t know what he’s saying because it’s all in Russian and there are no English subtitles.
This movie is something.

I can’t tell if Tom Bombadil and Goldberry are supposed to be giants — or they are just trying to show how tiny hobbits are supposed to be.
This movie was made just as the Soviet Union was collapsing.
It makes you wonder what the circumstances were that made this trippy movie possible — and what was going through the minds of everyone on the project.
