No sadly PJ added a character instead of taking a perfectly acceptable book character

I would have loved that.

She would most likely be physically different if she were female. Probably like human men and women not as muscular in the general sense but stronger and scarier

So, were Lurtz and Ugluk the same character in the movies?

As for your second question, Lurtz female style would be too revolting to imagine!

No. Ugluk has a small speaking part in TTT.

Ugluk's fabulous line: "Look's like meat's back on the menu, boys!"

Lurtz was most definitely not in the book. Hey, Sean Bean had to have some kind of heroic, funky death scene.... *swoons*

Oh yeah, Lurtz was in command of the Uruk-Hai who pursued the Fellowship. I will say this once again: sometimes I make myself sound really stupid.

What do you mean Sean Bean needed a "funky" death scene? Boromir's death scene was done greatly, regardless of Sean Bean's "death status" in movies...a heroic death scene for a heroic character!

It regards Boromir's death scene somehow needing the death of the main Orc, courtesy of Aragorn. So Lurtz was invented and Ugluk was relegated. What a shame. As the quotations on the top-right of your screen demonstrate, Ugluk commands.
