Lady Alasse - The scene with Lurtz and the knife, disturbing as it was, was taken directly from Tolkien. In the chapter "Tower of Cirith Ungol" when the two orcs are fighting, one stabs the other and then licks the blood off the knife.<P>I'm sure P.J. remembered that moment and thought it would be neat to throw in there. Or maybe it was the actor's idea. But either way, the original inspiration for that moment was from Tolkien.
