I don't have the extended DVD, so I can't say one way or the other. It wouldn't surprise me if the artists added Gollum into the picture near the top of the Argonath statue. I just don't understand why you'd want to put Gollum there.

It doesn't stand up to reason, to me, to put him there unless he knows they'll be coming that way. He has to run ahead, climb up, and then either climb or dive down. And he knew they'd come that way, anyway. Just so the camera can zoom up there and catch him. But the effect is cool on it's own without the "Easter egg."

I'd rather put Gollum in the background, like the guy you see jump from tree to tree in "The Wizard of Oz." Maybe lurking behind a tree when Boromir tries to take the Ring from Frodo. Or during the scene where Aragorn tells Frodo to go before covering his flight.

Maybe he spied the bird's nest from down on the other side and climbed up there for food? lol I don't know.
