Stop saying 'Hotspore'!

Fine...I´ll watch the remake again!

Loved the video! Movie was good too.

I beat and thrust my sword every Friday. Well, its more like a dagger :(

I think the camera work in the remake worked better in the previz. There was something "uncanny valley" about how it bounced around with real actors

Is this a good movie?

"HotSPORE"

Great movie, quite historically inaccurate in many parts as far as the story but so well told as piece of visual medium

Ultimately, the only person qualified to remake a Verhoeven film... is indeed Verhoeven. Otherwise, it doesn't really work. Sure, people can TRY (and they have, obviously), but it's a bit like someone trying to emulate Spielberg, Lucas, Coppolla, etc. I mean, even Michael Mann was redoing his OWN FILM when he shot "Heat". :) Small Easter Egg... Xander Berkeley got to be in both. Super underrated actor.

Well done. Love the break down. Not sure how much the head butt would do. Not only because of the armor, but becuase Hotspur appears to be off balance and on the back foot. I dont see him being able to generate enough force to cause any reaction.

Visors didn't need catches and locks. They cocked one side higher when they riveted it on and it stayed up or down by an interference fit.

So I hate the 2012 fight scene. I know that if you're on a SWAT type team you have a lot of training. Weapons and hand to hand training. Even if you're on a crappy SWAT team you'll just shoot and hit your target from 10 yards away. The Bourne movies changed fight scenes in movies forever bringing in a realism that is cool but your "Jason Bourne" character still has to have realistic enemies to fight. The 2012 movie SWAT team are basically a bunch of Star Wars Stormtroopers.

I always hated this movie.

Just RUSH WITH DAGGER!! 🗡️😀

So stoked to have found this channel! Love your insight and how you bring up things like the cultural vision of a fight scene for the era.

(With the caveat that i don't know if that wasn't the case), but imagine how much better the scene would've been if they hired Buhurt ... what would you even call them, re-enacters doesn't seem right given some of the fights i've seen. I'm guessing N-'s legal department didn't want to, because we could've seen genuine plate denting, sparks, swords bending against helms and more. Some of the fights you can see online are so realistic (and they really are to some extent) that you'd think the guys (and a few gals) inside had a feud for generations one against another. There's a video out there with a guy hammering another in the coif, denting the coif in the play. And don't get me wrong, some will say "that's insane and unsafe" but these guys take safety very seriously and the armor is done very well. There's several videos online with the construction of some of these pieces and it's thick metal, reinforced, all the safety catches and pins are obligatory and the metal is baked to red hot, the dipped. The craftsmanship of both Buhurters and armorers is unreal.

The King is not a good movie at all. Actually this scene is the peak. Everything else is horrible, especially the Agincourt battle...

Ironically as a Scotsman, this is one of my favourite movies. Thank you for this video, makes me appreciate this scene even more. Be interesting to see your opinion on the outlaw king fight scenes.

👀

Haha, for a moment I was extremely confused why the Muad'Dib was suddenly on a medieval battle field.

oh its that twink from dune

pretty much all of the bad swordplay choices can be explained by the fact that this dude would have probably been fuckin like 17, idk my history that well but hes young in the film for a reason/

The extra's armours look much better than King Henry's own armour.

When Henry has Hotspur in a choke from behind, Hotspur is holding his visor down. Referring to what you mentioned in the beginning about how they don't have locking visors yet.

I think, the reason is "Paul Verhoeven" and his over-the-top, yet tongue-in-cheek film making.

Loved that movie

How does this fight change if they're not wearing armor? (or are wearing lighter types)

12:25 - what do you mean Trinity 'not scary'? I think there was scare factor in her intro; she killed a buncyh of cops, and before we knew that they weren't the good guys. And technically those cops were innocent, playing their role in the Matrix. Not to mention her unworldly spider like powers; pretty scary.

Fine I will re-watch the king 😅

I really enjoyed this video and the movie, but you have to get past about 15 minutes of hokieness. There is some historical stull in the film that could go over a lot of people's heads, like when the King tells his new French bride they will only speak English in court. That was the 1st time since William the Conquer in 1066 that French stopped being the official language and English was reintroduced. Oh, and that Pattenson guy from Twilight was really good in the movie.

It kind of seems like a small shield and dagger would be more optimal against someone with a longsword in full armor. Or at least equally as effective.

The fight between the 2 women is also one of my favourites ever, filmed really well.

Shoulda went for the dagger sooner

The battle scenes in this movie were excellent but the 1v1 duel is ridiculous. I really don't like this trope where a duel decides the outcome of a battle. It never happened in history, it's not original and you already know the victor before it starts so there is no tension. The highlight of this movie was the battle of Agincourt. That's the closest to what I'd imagine a real battle would be like. No flashy swordplay, just a load of men desperately hacking at each other and slipping in the mud. There was no scene where Henry spots Louis across the field so the armies part to create an open area for them to have a showdown in. It felt authentic. This movie made me a fan of Timothy Chalamet. I'm really rooting for his career.

Thank you for this insightful breakdown! I also love how well they've managed to bring across the very real danger of becoming fatigued during armored combat. Towards the end they both start grunting and breathing heavily. Paired with the sharp camera work, sound design and editing it all comes together wonderfully.

The remake was so stupid. A totally implausible and illogical train that goes through the middle of the earth aside, they completely missed the point of a Philip k dick story which is “was the whole thing a dream”

The ending made me feel like the knife is much more effective than the longsword if both are covered in armor

I loved this movie so much, and the first thing I noticed was how realistic the fighting scenes were. They were gritty, kind of sloppy, more human than what you see in most movies.

the silence after he killed him

i would have went for the dagger right away. the sword is quite useless in armored combat. well played tho.

well when you get yourself a battle ready sword and sword play with that for awhile. you'll know why guys aren't burning out their endurance straight off. top that off with full armor. it's heavy, believe it.

Longswords are only slow when you swing them like the doofuses in media. Doofi? 🤔

How do magnets work?

The original Total Recall is perfect. It doesn't need a remake. So is Robocop.

Hotspur was based
