Darn it, you're taking all my best choices.
One of my favorites that hasn't been posted yet is the Ziyi Zhang vs. Michelle Yeoh fight in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. F |

i like the battle scene at the beginning of 'gladiator' even tho they did computer enhance the archery and artillery, they should have used pilums (pilii?) just before contact with the barbarians tho i guess health and safety thought they'd be too dangerous. the battle broke up into a general melee a bit too soon too.
Battle Linky i especially get a kick out of the scenes just before the battle as the german leader hold up the roman head with the sound track from 'zulu' in the background ('Zulu' is another favourite of mine, limited sword action but iklwas make up for it)the fight in the colosseum is pretty cool Colosseum Linky p.s. - if you include TV series/made for TV movies, the Sharpe series has everything, swords, bayonets, cavalry, ethnographic weapons, muskets, spontoons, cannon, duels, battles, seiges, and more. Synopsis Linky: O'er the hills and far away... Last edited by kronckew; 29th June 2008 at 09:21 AM. |

I think you'll have noticed I watch too many films
 This is a good film, 13th Warrior ....12 Vikings and 1 Arabic Warrior ....OK not historically accurate (AFAIK) but entertaining http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nszfe...eature=related I am very surprised that 'Kingdom of Heaven' has not featured yet, again they've taken 'historical licence'....but the battle scenes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3K9bruYKXU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muChj...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFViJ...eature=related David |
