The Mouth of Sauron

[Kalimac]

Saucepan Man - I also remember seeing him listed on IMDB as the Mouth of Sauron, so I'm still holding out hope for the EE. Actually, you could cut the Mouth in after Aragorn's speech pretty nicely. The gates open a crack (if I remember correctly, there are several cuts back and forth when the gates start to open, I mean, it's not like it's one long shot which shows plainly that there's an army there). The Mouth comes out, does his thing, throws down the mailshirt, which is picked up by...someone or other, then everyone charges. In fact, it would add a lot of resonance to Aragorn saying "For Frodo!" The line isn't exactly meaningless now, but it would be pretty powerful if, instead of meaning "To give Frodo a chance at destroying the Ring!" it meant "To avenge Frodo's death and die with honour, now that everything is lost and we're hopelessly up the creek."
