This extended‑edition scene, titled “The Corsairs of Umbar”, unfolds as Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli stand on a riverbank, confronting an approaching Corsair fleet bound for Gondor. Aragorn demands they stop—preventing these pirate ships from entering—and challenges them with quiet authority.

The Corsairs mock him, asking, “You and whose army?” At Aragorn’s signal, Legolas fires a warning shot, but Gimli deliberately misguides it: the arrow instead strikes a nearby crewman. Gimli then exclaims, “Prepare to be boarded!” Laughter echoes—but is cut short when Aragorn declares, “This army,” and the Army of the Dead emerges from the mist, overwhelming the Corsair vessels in a swift supernatural assault. Ships are captured, Corsair resistance collapses, and Aragorn gains control of their armada—used later to reinforce Gondor at Minas Tirith. In a humorous twist, director Peter Jackson makes a cameo as the bosun who is shot in the chest
