The Figure On The Wall
 

After Frodo is stabbed by the Nazgul, Aragorn and the hobbits are rushing through the forest. Sam says:"But we're three days from Rivendell,he'll never make it!"<BR>Aragorn says:"Hold on Frodo!" and Frodo cries :"Gandalf!" Right after these lines the screen shows Isenguard. As the shot moves in closer we see a figure on the wall and it turns (at the beginning). However, the camara goes by it too quickly. Is this an orc? A minon of evil? Any ideas?

It is an Orc on the night-shift. <BR> <p>[ August 22, 2003: Message edited by: Eomer of the Rohirrim ]

Oh goodness ...thats it....all this time spent contemplating and it turns out to be an orc on a night shift. Sigh Thanks Eomer

Yep, an orc with a really WIERD helmet. Looks like something a court jester would wear. Or I may be thinking of a similar shot from TTT, the Isengard shots from both movies seemed nearly identical

But Orcs do have strange gear. Remember the scene in Moria when the Fellowship are surrounded? Pippin is looking particularly bemused by the crazy helmets.

Maybe its one of those female Orcs some of us have been wondering about. *shudder*
