PJ added the scene with Lurtz to bring Aragorn into the whole senario. In the book, he is not involved with the fight whatsoever...it is over before he gets there. I agree that PJ was playing to his audience - we Americans are all about instant gratification. It was a good climax, and I personally enjoyed it. As for the name "Lurtz," I believe it started as a joke in the Weta studios when they were creating him, and it just stuck.
