As astutely described by Alatar , this is an example of
PJ's schisophrenic nature in presenting LOTR, great
scenery and bits taken correctly/brilliantly from the
book versus a tendency to insert rather silly "humor"
and nonbook inserts which mostly
don't work. Of course PJ could have portrayed the chase
as Aragorn and Legolas running along tossing Gimli
back and forth between them.

But if you ignore his changes this scene does
capture very well the orc/three hunters chase.
