I cant help but feel a fortress that is backed into a wall like this is a bad idea. Also a drawbridge could've saved the main gate from being battered down.
Im pretty sure they did have tunnels, just not enough to evacuate the entire city plus soldiers efficiently
It has been a while since I've seen it but when they fall back and barricade themselves in, Aragorn says something like "Send the women and children through the caves" (or something to that effect) and Theoden tells him they'll never make it through the mountains.

utterly pathetic

And they call this a fortress...A "FORTRESS"

Why didn't they just drill a hole to the other side of the mountain?
What movie is this from?
Problem Child 2

Boku No Boromir
Daddy daycare
Troy
The little mermaid
Lord of the Rings The Return of the King
why didnt sauronman just cause the mountain behind them to crumble big stones and bury the city? He could do that to the snowy mountain too
or ask cave trolls to drop big stones from the top of the mountain

for reference here is Tolkien's original sketch. The Deeping Wall actually has a point here, but it isn't photogenic enough for a film.
What did they eat
