When Pippin is looking into the palantir, Sauron says the same thing to him as he did to Frodo at the Prancing Pony ... "I see you." and begins to chant the ringspell.
In the very first shot of the trailer, we see a vertical red flare going up into the sky. This is doubtless the signal from Barad-dûr that Minas Morgul responds to with a green flare, a signal that the assault on Minas Tirith is starting.
Wilhelm scream can be heard when Faramir's men are attacked during their retreat, when Legolas attacks the Southrons on the Oliphaunt, and when a Nazgûl snatches three defenders from the upper walls of Minas Tirith and drops them to the first tier.
While the hobbits are climbing up past Minas Morgul, Gollum urges them on, saying "Come, master, come to Sméagol!" -- the exact inverse of what Frodo said to Gollum at the Forbidden Pool
Gandalf gives the description to Pippin of the end being a continuing journey from a dream Frodo had at Tom Bombadil's house which he remembers as he approaches Valinor at the end of the Grey Havens chapter. "The grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise."
Legolas brings down the mûmakil with a 3-arrow shot! He learned after fighting the cave troll, and the Lothlórien bow is much more powerful.
In Shelob's lair, Frodo cries as he holds up the phial: "Aiya Eärendil Elenion Ancalima! (Hail Eärendil, brightest of stars!)" exactly as in the book.
When Sam charges the three orcs in Cirith Ungol, he's holding Sting in his right hand and his blade from Strider in his left (not his trusty frying pan).
The ring was whispering "keep me" when Sam was trying to give it back to Frodo.
Sam's pans were hitched on his belt when he's in his orc armor.
Frodo's look, the angle, and the lighting as he claims the ring mirrors the scene with Isildur at the crack of doom from the first movie.
At the Black Gate, when the ring is destroyed, Pippin and Merry's usual roles are reversed. Merry exults in Frodo's apparent success, while it's Pippin (the wiser of the two for the first time) who realizes that it means Frodo is likely killed when Mt. Doom explodes.
The sword that's on the wall behind Frodo in the Bag End study looks like Glamdring or Pippin's blade he carries in Minas Tirith, which is mounted and crossed with an Orc sword. It looks like a breast of Mordor armour is above it.
After Frodo enters the ship and turns to his friends, his eyes lose their redness and his pale cheeks flush with the life he had at Bilbo's party. Our Frodo is back, without the shadows and pain.
There's a suggestion suggests some relationship between Frodo's choice and the fate of the ring. Notice that the Ring does not succumb to the fires until Frodo decides to live. In fact, there is a moment just as we see complete resignation in Frodo's eyes when the inscription on the ring shines forth as though in victory. As soon as Frodo grabs Sam's hand, the ring dissolves in the fire.
There is a brief shot of a corsair ship, with Peter Jackson swaggering around the deck in full pirate garb. He actually had a considerably longer appearance filmed, including a fight scene which ended with him being killed (either by Legolas or Aragorn; I've heard both and don't know which is correct.) That sequence didn't make it to the theatrical release, but we may see it in the EE.
The ending - ultimate geeky moment of them all: "Well I'm back." Exactly same last lines as in the book.
LOTR has its fake death scenes! (Fake Death Syndrome) Let's see if we can count 'em all!
THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING
all four hobbits killed in their beds by Nazgûl (for all of 10 seconds).
Frodo killed by cave troll.
the Nazgûl that jumped or burned at Weathertop/Amon Sul. A stretch perhaps for most except maybe the one that took it in the face.
the Balrog and Gandalf dying in Moria when they fall.
the Nazgûl drowning at Ford of Bruinen
Frodo "dies" by the river in Arwen's arms
Sam drowning
THE TWO TOWERS
Pippin killed by horse stomping on him.
Merry and Pippin killed and burned in the pile by the Rohirrim (not by the Uruks).
Aragorn killed by fall from cliff.
RETURN OF THE KING
Faramir killed by the orcs of Osgiliath.
Frodo killed by Shelob.
Gollum killed by falling off the cliff.
Aragorn has vision of Arwen dying.
Merry "killed" on the battlefield.
Éowyn "killed" on the battlefield (more definite in the book)
Frodo killed by falling off the precipice into the lava.
Of the main characters, it's only Legolas, Gimli, Galadriel & Elrond don't suffer from 'fake death syndrome.'
