CUT TO:
EXT. THE EAST ROAD -- DAY
The white horse speeds out of the pine trees...the 4
ringwraiths close behind PAN ONTO: 2 more ringwraiths
galloping down the hillside! AERIAL SHOT: 3 MORE RINGWRAITHS
enter frame from different directions...a total of 9
RINGWRAITHS now pursuing Frodo and Arwen! CLOSE ON: Panting
head of the WHITE ELVEN HORSE.
ARWEN
Noro lim, Asfaloth!

The script says that there are to be Nine. Will have to relisten to PJ's commentary to see if he notes the issue. Note that "Noro lim, Asfaloth" in elvish means roughly, "We were limited to a total of nine horses in this shot, Asfaloth."

ANGLE ON: GANDALF GALLOPS toward the PYRE, knocking DENETHOR
to his FEET ... PIPPIN LEAPS from SHADOWFAX onto the BURNING
PYRE!
With a desperate strength, PIPPIN pushes FARAMIR off the
BURNING PYRE ... they tumble down the BUNDLES of WOOD, onto
the FLOOR! PIPPIN douses FLAMES on FARAMIR'S clothing.
DENETHOR SCREAMS with RAGE!
DENETHOR
No! Do not take my son from me!
DENETHOR leaps ACROSS THE PYRE, RIPPING and TUGGING at
PIPPIN! FIRE quickly spreads up DENETHOR'S OIL-SOAKED BACK as
he hauls PIPPIN off FARAMIR!
ANGLE ON: SHADOWFAX rears up and STRIKES at DENETHOR who
falls back onto the PYRE .
CLOSE ON: DENETHOR . . . he looks into his SON'S eyes . . . for a
BRIEF MOMENT SANITY returns.
DENETHOR (cont'd)
(whisper)
Faramir . . .
ANGLE ON: FLAMES begin to ENGULF DENETHOR . . .
CLOSE ON: GANDALF pulls PIPPIN to safety . . . they look in
HORROR as . . .
SUDDENLY! DENETHOR lurches off the PYRE! Now a SCREAMING,
unguided BALL OF FLAME, he runs across the CHAMBER,
disappearing out of the door!

CANDALF
(grimly)
So passes Denethor, Son of Ecthelion.
CUT TO:
EXT. MINAS TIRITH - DAY
DENETHOR runs across the WHITE COURT atop MINAS TIRITH ...
and PLUMMETS straight over the 700 FOOT SHEER DROP into the
FLAMING CITY below!

With that many capitalized words and exclamation marks, you can clearly see why the scene was a winner!
