Undriel Grenger easy victory lmao...Achilies is portrayad as dominating warrior from the begining,way more skilled then Hector,he would win anyway...why searching for some lame ass excuses
The way Achilles looked at his chest after Hector cut his armor, you could tell Achilles was impressed that Hector was the only man who's sword actually touched the great Achilles!!
Actually, I wouldn’t say he was impressed. It was more like, “I gotta stop toying with him, he might actually think he’ll win.” You gotta watch how each of them move. Achilles’ movements were decisive, strategic and precise. Hector fought like anybody who was fighting a greater foe, he was fighting for his life.
Yeah, after Hector fell, Achilles told him to stand up and the fight from then until the end was totally one-sided. Achilles could have delivered a killing blow at any time but he chose to wait until he could use Hector’s broken spear on himself. Remember Achilles wasn’t there to win, he was there to humiliate Hector.
"You won't have eyes tonight. You won't have ears or a tongue. You will wander the underworld blind, deaf and dumb and all the death will know. This is Hector. The fool who thought he killed Aquiles." Damn. That is great writing!
@@GoGetYourShinebox hey, he refused to any pact. At that point, why bother giving any honor or respect? Paris already damaged their honor by running from menelaus
@@clamchowder622 Because it would have tarnished Hector's reputation in front of his folks. He prided himself on his honour. Some people put death before dishonour, which in my opinion shows that their spirit will not break no matter what
I also liked him in the war movie Fury at the part when they found that town that had those two German girls and they want upstairs in their room and Brad Pitt took his shirt off my god did you see how he was built. He was also bad ass in that show too
This is one of my favorite duels in cinema. I love how they highlight the godlike fluid movements of Achilles in contrast to Hector's more jerky movements which were learned over many battles. A Demi-God vs A Warrior Prince.

Nobody commends Brad Pitt for how badass he portrayed Achilles. His eyes and his movement were almost perfect. The movie may not be the best but the actor certainly did his best.
Hector was a badass, but you know you've already lost mentally when you are trying to make a pact for funeral arrangements before the fight even starts. Even so he fought well.
@@tomhanks7873 that was in the Iliad, movie and the story are two different things. The movie implies the invulnerability was a myth, and that Achilles just won because he was simply that much better and skilled than everyone else, not that he couldn't be injured.
I like how Achilles later admitted to Hector's father that Hector was the greatest warrior he ever fought. Even though it looked easy for Achilles, Hector earned his respect. Maybe the first person to ever put a scratch on Achilles's armor.
@@Dav998 I think you are missing the fucking point in here. We are refering as the good portrait the actors did on the characters, not about who would win in a fight, are you fucking twelve or something?
Brad did a great job portraying Achilles' agility, flexibility, reflexes, and battle IQ. His backward spin to cut Hector's leg was such a great demonstration of all four. It's no wonder he was leagues above every warrior of his time. Hector really had no chance outside a lucky blow.
"you won't have eyes tonight, you won't have ears or a tongue, you will wander the underworld blind, deaf and dumb. And all the dead will know this is Hector, the fool who thought he killed Achilles." :)
Brad Pitt and Eric Bana did not use stunt doubles for their epic duel. They made a gentlemen's agreement to pay for every accidental hit; $50 for each light blow and $100 for each hard blow. Pitt ended up paying Bana $750, and Bana didn't owe Pitt anything.
Remember when most every action movie framed their fight scenes like this so the audience could actually understand what was going on? Nowadays most directors use shaky cam and close ups to create confusion and chaos during their fight scenes.
+Ronald Hector it sucks even more when you find out that they were supposed to be karate masters but they fought using shit versions of boxing flailing their hands around. :/
Austin a karate master created and coriogragh the hole fight scene wtf the way the fight look you might as well got Mike Tyson to coriogragh that scene a disappointment to me expected more
Both of them have good dialogue. Achilles: Now you know you're fighting! Hector: I thought it's you I was fighting yesterday and I wish it had been you but I gave the boy the honor he deserved... Achilles: you gave him the honor your sword!...
I loved Hector because: 1) He lasted any longer than any other opponent in the movie. 2) He managed to break Achille's spear. 3) He managed to cut Achille's armor. Edit: 4) Before Achilles finished him off. Hector looked him to the eyes.
Thats like saying i liked the giant in the first fight scene because: 1. He looked the scariest and grunted loudly. 2. He took out achillies shield with his spear getting thrown in it. 3. He managed to make achillies sweat before he killed him... 4. Before he killed him he managed not to get his own blood on his flip flops when stabbed..
@@Accept_Any_Bribe The Raid movies have good choreography, but they're only typical of the genre. Unremarkable, sometimes comedic, and entirely forgettable. Hector vs Achilles was actually thought through. Troy's fight scenes had ENORMOUS planning.
@@jadezzeddine7664 Achilles knew he'd die in the battle. His mother had told him that. That's why he came to Troy in the first place. Only after Hector's death and some talking with his father, he finally tried to help Troy.
I love how you can see the fight progressing like a chess game. Hector was very offensive from the start, hoping to catch Achilles with a lucky hit. Achilles on the other hand was VERY tactical. At the start he and Hector were simply sparing, testing each others fighting style. Achilles quickly figured out that Hector was going for attack more than defense, and used that knowledge to take him down. He stuck with a very defensive style, letting Hector tire himself out, repelling Hectors attacks and stopping to conserve energy while waiting for the next attack. At the same time, he kept using very unorthodox fighting moves to keep Hector guessing, all the while waiting for the right moment to strike. It was only a matter of time before Hector became too tired to fight skillfully, and resorted to rushing Achilles. That was the opening Achilles needed, and in one quick move he finished Hector off. Incredible scene, and one of my favorite duels in all of cinema!
Not sure what you're watching, at 1:08 the one charging was clearly Achilles. Hector only started becoming reckless after tripping and then Achilles went on the defensive.
The sound the swords make just after they’re drawn and during the first few blows is some brilliant sound design - it adds so much to the scene and is so weirdly satisfying.
Since Achilles really had no reason to worry about getting hurt in this fight, I think the only reason he fought with his shield over his head and back was so he could fight in the shade.
Yeah no, actually in this movie he isn’t immortal or invincible, he can get hurt, the director said it, this movie was a more realistic interpretation without any divine intervention, even Achilles said he wasn’t invincible in the beginning, he is just the best and more skilled warrior
I always liked the moment when Hector scratches Achilles’ armor and he looks down at it like “Damn! Nobody’s ever come that close before!” Also Hector was the only real good guy in this movie. He was fighting for his country and his family. Everyone else either caused the trouble (Paris) or were invaders (the Greeks).
That's the beauty of the Iliad and why it stands out so many centuries later. It's not a typical good vs evil story, it's greed and pettiness killing good men on both sides. It's what war is for real.
I think that shot, and then right after with the caught sword thrust, are both kind of indicating hits that would have been real if Achilles wasn't invulnerable
@@bipolarexpress9827 Did Achilles really "win"? Yeah, he won that fight, but tragically lost everything else. Achilles' lesson is sometimes when you win, you lose. Some people call it Karmic. Some people call it reaping what you sew. The so-called "winners" in life are usually extremely miserable and end up dead with an arrow in their heel by someone less deserving. I think what was missed by your comment is that Achilles was actually a "good guy" as well. Achilles was trying to avenge his cousin in a straight up fight and even gave Hector a chance when he tripped. That's what some would call sportsmanship. That's what makes this scene, cool as it is, also tragic. Two good men turned against each other by circumstance, or in this case, the dishonor of Hector's brother. If anyone deserved a spear and a sword in his chest, it was Hector's brother, Paris. But we all know that guy's a coward who'd rather watch his country die than go and face the music for what he'd done. That's the lesson. Hector died because he let someone like his brother be a dishonorable swine. If you let that go unchecked, you'll get a spear, a sword, and then your corpse dragged through the desert through no fault of your own. That's where Hector was the bad guy. He should've cut his brother's nuts off and returned Helen. Roll credits.
Hector is one of the greatest heroes in history. Courage, loyalty, honor, love for country and family, respect for opponents ... A lion who, even though he knows he is doomed in a duel against a demigod, does not hesitate to fight. Really mythical!
Buddy do you have any idea what Hector was "actually" like in Homer's Iliad? He was the most hateful man, disrespected Ajax and spat on him upon his death, mocked him as he was drawing his last breath and when Achilles went looking for him, he was scared to death, hiding. Hector was definitely no hero. Im with you on this Hector though, Eric Bana did a great job in the movie and the movie - Hector was indeed lovable :)
That move where Hector breaks Achilles' spear with his leg and goes for the throat with his sword would have been a sure killing blow to any other man.
Also when he goes for achilles leg and achilles just casually dodging. Any other man would’ve got their leg chopped off. This just shows achilles inhuman reflexes
Now see people who watch Game of Thrones? When a spear goes that deep into your torso, you are FINISHED!!! There is no way Oberyn should've lost to the Mountain!!! And NO I'm not over it!!
Stomach shots are not immediately lethal that cut his either through or right next to his Vegus nerve through the start of the brachial plexus nerve and the hit the first rib. That is typically either a kill shot or it disorientated him no matter his martial background.
+readsomebooks666 did you not see the spear pierce his shoulder? and him gasping for air after because of his collapsed longue? a little belly poking never instantly killed a man. stab someone in the chest and he's just about done
i actually love the respect given in the battle. “i won’t let a stone take my glory” even though he insulted him like 40 times the fight was literally always fair
@@thullraven1 is that why Hector ran around Troy so many times until he was tricked to stop running and then almost immediately afterwards realized he was tricked and then died, in the Iliad he has less chance than he does in the movie
@@Queazyboot3 Hector was fighting a god and lost heart, but when the actual fight started he would have won if you read the Illiad. He struck Achilles dead center in the chest but it was turned away by the enchanted armor.
Man it really hits me when Hector dies. He was the most likeable character in the Illiad, fighting for his family. Achilles, a brutal killer, is the one that wins like a falcon killing a dove.
@@RockoEstalon He couldn't even hit one spot on Achilles, that's the point. Achilles just played and toyed with Hector like a rag doll during the whole fight, not allowing Hector to land a single hit on his person. The only time when Hector got ahead was when Achilles played a little too much and Hector managed to land a lucky hit on Achilles armor, hence the scratch.
@@undrielgrenger53 I dont think Achilles was toying with him. Hector almost caught him in the chest and you can see Achilles breahting a little heavy as well. He even told his Dad that he was the best he ever fought.
In fairness, it was because he wanted to humiliate him. He wanted to leave no doubt, as it were, about who the better warrior was. To illustrate that anyone who ever believed he *could* have killed Achilles was as big a fool as Paris.
@@Berserk_96 Achilles skin are invulnerable, his mom drown him at river Styx when he was still a baby. No amount of Arrow and sword can penetrate his skin, except his heel because there was where his mother grab him when dorwn him in river Styx
you then missed the point of achilles going infront of the city gates just to challenge hector. He didn't go there to get Helen back, he's gone there to kill the man who killed his cousin. even if king priam threw paris and helen away, he would've gutted hector either way
@@e.y.s.1980 then thats on him because Agamemnon & his brother came to rule over Troy As long as Troy has their best warrior alive Trojans the advantage
@ Yea, didn't Achilles then tie Hector to his chariot and drag his body across the land? Sounds like a lack of honor if I ever heard it. Yea... once he starts tying his body to a chariot I'd have my archers unleash fury. No honor begets no honor.
@@JacobFury What are you talking about? In the battle literally 1 day before in the movie, both sides dispersed and stopped fighting for the day because "Achilles" - aka. Patroclus - died by Hector's hand. The whole of Troy and all the Greek armies were aware that Achilles's last living relative was killed and would seek retribution for it. That's why Hector accepted the 1v1 when Achilles was screaming his name. Because he can fight his own battles (this is literally the theme of the movie). If anything, having a wall of archers fire after Achilles won would be the most dishonorable thing Priam/Troy could have done - even after tying the corpse to the chariot. It would have given Greece even more justification to go to war (and it wouldn't have killed Achilles anyway - let's be honest). Neither Greece or Troy could justifiably intervene. Anyway, you really need to re-watch it or something. Achilles not accepting Hector's pact (i.e. request) was not dishonorable.
"Get up, Prince of Troy. Get up! I won't let a stone take my glory!" Hector is the only one to give Achilles a true challenge. Even had him breathing hard. He may have paraded Hector's corpse, but he respected the fuck out of his skills.
Hector should've never intervened in his brothers affairs. He made a decision to steal a man's wife, he should've dealt with it himself. I'm no simp, but those were the times.
Naw dogs. That's your bro. He's your family. Sure, Legolas made a damning call to his entire city by stealing the wife of the ruler of a city state you were on a DIPLOMATIC MISSION OF GOOD WILL with... however... He's your family. Blood. A bond deeper than the bones. If you don't stand up for one another during times of plight and difficulty, even (and perhaps especially) when it's one of your own's fault, that's no family I could be proud calling myself a part of. Young Bloom made a grave mistake, and Bruce Banner decided to pay for it with his life. If that ain't love, then I don't know what Braille is.
@@Dexroid Nah i you put it like that then it's same with a man decided to rape someone's wife but the husband found it and try to trial you But the the man's brother is a lawyer and he decided to help his brother because of the family bond and in the end the villain win the case because the brother twisting the truth So who's wrong ?
Achilles: "There are no pacts between lions and men." Brave words Mr. lion. Do you know what else isn't between men and lions? A fair fight! Lions get put down from a distance. Archers on the walls! Open fire!
Damn. That's a good dialogue. If Hector did that though, I'm sure the meddling gods would help Achilles escape, or redirect at least one arrow to Hector's path. Just to fulfill some prophesy or whatever
@@Sain8492 Wow. Looks like we've got a poet in our midst! Well done. You know, Hector really shouldn't even be out there. "Only children and fools fight for honor! I fight for my country." I forget who said that. You know, Hector really should keep a collection of useful quotes handy. It would keep him from making a fool of himself.
Well they are not following the Iliad , they took a what if the Trojan war actually happened as such no gods just men and war. And Achilles does not die from a cut to the tendon it's just his only unprotected spot ( in mythology anyway).
If they ever tell my story, let them say... I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat... but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Hector, tamer of horses. Let them say... I lived in the time of Achilles.
The beauty of this movie is that you choose for yourself who the good and bad guy is. I celebrated when Achilles finished Hector off but my girlfriend wanted Hector to win because she had a better feeling for his story. Love this movie.
***** Actually, the armor probably saved Achilles more than it did Hector. If you recall around 1:55 or so, Hector tried to slice at Achilles' calf, had there been no armor there, Achilles would've gotten a far worse injury. Not to mention when Hector sliced at him at 2:30 or so, Achilles' armor had a scratch on it which could've been his actual flesh had he gone without armor.
wilji1090 yeah that is true i just wish armor actually worked in these movies and tv shows game of thrones had one example of it serving its real purpose but most other times it seems like armor is just for looks and never stops anything
I've always likened it to someone knowing where the weak points are in armor. Granted, chainmail is always going to be flimsier than platemail, yet Kingdom of Heaven has a scene where Bailan took a sword blow to the arm and were it not for the chainmail, he would've lost his arm in the battle.
i miss fight scenes like this where you can see and analyze each fighters moves. and particularly i like how even though this scene is choreographed it doesnt feel fake or rehearsed it feels almost like they just said ok guys just go at it and we will film
I like how the choreography captures everything. He waits to give everyone a full effect of what he's doing before the final plunge. It pulls me away from a book. It tells me no this is this.
He was pissed cuz Hector killed his family. Would you make a deal with someone who had just killed one of your kin? I do not think so. I wouldn't say Achilles was a "different breed", warriors are their own breed of people, but a different class of warrior for sure. Kinda like Green Berets and Enlisted soldiers, both warriors, but different classes.
@@johnnyb8110 I mean if you're afraid of your family member getting killed, then why did he come to war. It was his cousin's mistake. What would Hector do ?
I appreciate the choreography of this scene more and more over the years. Achilles is always graceful and avoids/blocks with ease. Hector fends Achilles off but his blocks and parries are clumsier
It wasn't enough to kill the man in front if his kingdom, including the brother, dad AND wife. You had to drag the man's body off the battlefield. The disrespect.
what enraged achilles is that he knew the boy had no chance against hector,no chance at all,this is a dynamic fight,with swords someone of both could die from bleeding out,old weapons are terrible weapons,guns are so impersonable
In the actual Iliad, after Hector killed Patroclus, he stripped Achilles' armor off, and wore it when he fought against Achilles. Then, after Hector ran away from Achilles for three days and sacrificing a large portion of the Trojan army because they got in between the two, Athena had to trick Hector into actually standing his ground, and the bitch died in one hit. So, Achilles dragging his dumb ass around for what he did is fair.
This is how you choreograph and film good action scenes. It's beautiful in the movements, it's meaningful in the story, it is tragic and gives emotional conflict because both characters have understandable reasoning to be there, it gives short breaks to process what's going on, it shows the emotional consequences in the faces of everyone involved.
No bro, in the Iliad Patroclus was a true hero, in fact he was slightly older than Achilles as opposed how it was portrayed in the movie. Patroclus was Achilles' mentor guiding the young warrior done the right path. He was a skilled warrior who killed numerous Trojans and slew Sarpedon a son of Zeus in book 16 of the Iliad. Hector and Patroclus encounter in the poem, and Hector was only able to kill him due to intervention of Apollo and Euphorbus( A Trojan warrior), and he knew who Patroclus was when he slew him? Patroclus was forced to intervene and wear Achilles' Armour in the Trojan war because Achilles was not willing to participate anymore, the man was just sitting in his tent.
I agree. Even when one understands the aspects behind this time period in History, the possibility that all these events occurred as a result of Paris' inability to keep his carnal urges under control can irritate most individuals.
***** i have a little brother so i understand Hector wanting to protect him but his little brother's actions went over the line. Paris was taking advantage of hector, every time he was in danger he turned to hector. He just really got the shit end of the stick.
AfroMalaya I wouldn't say he was covering for him. He was against his actions the entire time. With so many people looking up to hector he couldn't just turn his back on his brother. Those people in Troy were a tight knit group so morally he was obligated to bail his little brother out of all the stupid things he did
The choreography of this movie is so cool. It's obviously not realistic, but they truly capture the essence of Achilles's invulnerability with his every move. The confidence, relaxed aggression, and even the power of every strike. The dude looks like an absolute tank during 1:171:58 and 2:17 when he strikes.
JustCallMeArabella Well, If Chronos didn't do that he wouldn't have died and Zeus couldn't have organized the mariage between Peleus and Thetis since he wouldn't have had that much power.
While not immortal, Achilles probably mythologically something akin to a "Captain America." Peak human everything with virtually limitless stamina. Hector as this fight was depicted was not only outmatched in skill, though he fought well enough to keep up for most of it, but he eventually got tired while Achilles was just as fresh as he was before the fight started. Nice to see spears incorporated into a one on one battle this way in a movie.
I disagree. He actually landed a strike on his armor. The way Achilles stares at the mark, it was the tiniest shred of doubt coming over him. He also seemed to enjoy having a legitimate challenge. Achilles killed that monster of a man in the opening scene in one move like nothing. Achilles actually had to try with hector. He was even breathing heavy near the end.
@@stephengrigg5988 later he admits to his father, King Priam that Hector was the best he'd ever fought. So i completely agree, when Hector left a mark on Achilles' armour it surprised the Greek hero, he'd never been challenged quite as much as this. Same with his heavy breathing towards the end too
@@nihaalsandim9986 completely agree. He was very vengeful in this fight because of his cousin's death but he did give hector credit for his skills later.
This fight was heartbreaking to watch. You see a good man die to a unlikeable demigod with no personality and humility. But that aside both eric and brad performed really well in the movie.
in the actual iliad he says something along the lines of... "There are no pacts between lions and men.. I would rather eat your flesh" in reference to accepting hectors pact about the proper burials
Star-Lord The Legendary Outlaw Yeah but if your opponent is dead you pay him respect if he fought bravely, do you know what Achilles did after this scene ?

Brad did a great job portraying Achilles' agility, flexibility, reflexes, and battle IQ. His backward spin to cut Hector's leg was such a great demonstration of all four. It's no wonder he was leagues above every warrior of his time. Hector really had no chance outside a lucky blow.
And he wasted his lucky blow on Achilles chest plate moments before

Best part of thr movie
Brad Pitt and Eric Bana did not use stunt doubles for their epic duel. They made a gentlemen's agreement to pay for every accidental hit; $50 for each light blow and $100 for each hard blow. Pitt ended up paying Bana $750, and Bana didn't owe Pitt anything.
Cool fact lol not Surprised
haha thats awesome, thanks for the fact!
If he went back on his word he could said “there are no pacts between lions and men”

Pitt was probably thinking “damn it, there’s 50, I’ve got to stop hitting this guy, but it’s so fun to show off!”
Don't forget about Brad dragged Bana all the way back to the camp. That must be like a million bucks.
Remember when most every action movie framed their fight scenes like this so the audience could actually understand what was going on? Nowadays most directors use shaky cam and close ups to create confusion and chaos during their fight scenes.

Hector died with honor. Achilles died like a dumb ass.
he died for patroclus T_T
I love how you can see the fight progressing like a chess game. Hector was very offensive from the start, hoping to catch Achilles with a lucky hit. Achilles on the other hand was VERY tactical. At the start he and Hector were simply sparing, testing each others fighting style. Achilles quickly figured out that Hector was going for attack more than defense, and used that knowledge to take him down. He stuck with a very defensive style, letting Hector tire himself out, repelling Hectors attacks and stopping to conserve energy while waiting for the next attack. At the same time, he kept using very unorthodox fighting moves to keep Hector guessing, all the while waiting for the right moment to strike. It was only a matter of time before Hector became too tired to fight skillfully, and resorted to rushing Achilles. That was the opening Achilles needed, and in one quick move he finished Hector off.
Incredible scene, and one of my favorite duels in all of cinema!
idk man, looks to me Achilles was the one who went on total offense from the start, Hector just couldn't defend against him.
Đức Đặng Tấn Every single bout was started by Hector charging...
Not sure what you're watching, at 1:08 the one charging was clearly Achilles. Hector only started becoming reckless after tripping and then Achilles went on the defensive.
Đức Đặng Tấn That initial charge by Achilles was to test Hector's fighting style. Hector charges far more in this fight than Achilles...
+Modern Spartan not just the initial charge, up until Hector's spear was broken Achilles was clearly on the offensive
The sound the swords make just after they’re drawn and during the first few blows is some brilliant sound design - it adds so much to the scene and is so weirdly satisfying.

Since Achilles really had no reason to worry about getting hurt in this fight, I think the only reason he fought with his shield over his head and back was so he could fight in the shade.
A cool warrior is a happy warrior.
Yeah no, actually in this movie he isn’t immortal or invincible, he can get hurt, the director said it, this movie was a more realistic interpretation without any divine intervention, even Achilles said he wasn’t invincible in the beginning, he is just the best and more skilled warrior

Underrated comment
lmaooo pin this!
🤣
You got me bro 😂
You win 😉
I always liked the moment when Hector scratches Achilles’ armor and he looks down at it like “Damn! Nobody’s ever come that close before!”
Also Hector was the only real good guy in this movie. He was fighting for his country and his family. Everyone else either caused the trouble (Paris) or were invaders (the Greeks).
Well the good guys don’t usually win in life. They’re not prepared to do whatever it takes to win.
That's the beauty of the Iliad and why it stands out so many centuries later.
It's not a typical good vs evil story, it's greed and pettiness killing good men on both sides. It's what war is for real.
You mean, everyone was either defending the home of Illia (Troy), or they were trying to rescue the queen of Sparta from her kidnappers.
I think that shot, and then right after with the caught sword thrust, are both kind of indicating hits that would have been real if Achilles wasn't invulnerable
@@bipolarexpress9827 Did Achilles really "win"? Yeah, he won that fight, but tragically lost everything else. Achilles' lesson is sometimes when you win, you lose. Some people call it Karmic. Some people call it reaping what you sew. The so-called "winners" in life are usually extremely miserable and end up dead with an arrow in their heel by someone less deserving.
I think what was missed by your comment is that Achilles was actually a "good guy" as well. Achilles was trying to avenge his cousin in a straight up fight and even gave Hector a chance when he tripped. That's what some would call sportsmanship. That's what makes this scene, cool as it is, also tragic. Two good men turned against each other by circumstance, or in this case, the dishonor of Hector's brother. If anyone deserved a spear and a sword in his chest, it was Hector's brother, Paris. But we all know that guy's a coward who'd rather watch his country die than go and face the music for what he'd done.
That's the lesson. Hector died because he let someone like his brother be a dishonorable swine. If you let that go unchecked, you'll get a spear, a sword, and then your corpse dragged through the desert through no fault of your own. That's where Hector was the bad guy. He should've cut his brother's nuts off and returned Helen. Roll credits.

Buddy do you have any idea what Hector was "actually" like in Homer's Iliad? He was the most hateful man, disrespected Ajax and spat on him upon his death, mocked him as he was drawing his last breath and when Achilles went looking for him, he was scared to death, hiding. Hector was definitely no hero. Im with you on this Hector though, Eric Bana did a great job in the movie and the movie - Hector was indeed lovable :)

What are you talking about?
In the battle literally 1 day before in the movie, both sides dispersed and stopped fighting for the day because "Achilles" - aka. Patroclus - died by Hector's hand. The whole of Troy and all the Greek armies were aware that Achilles's last living relative was killed and would seek retribution for it. That's why Hector accepted the 1v1 when Achilles was screaming his name. Because he can fight his own battles (this is literally the theme of the movie).
If anything, having a wall of archers fire after Achilles won would be the most dishonorable thing Priam/Troy could have done - even after tying the corpse to the chariot. It would have given Greece even more justification to go to war (and it wouldn't have killed Achilles anyway - let's be honest). Neither Greece or Troy could justifiably intervene.
Anyway, you really need to re-watch it or something. Achilles not accepting Hector's pact (i.e. request) was not dishonorable.
"Get up, Prince of Troy. Get up! I won't let a stone take my glory!" Hector is the only one to give Achilles a true challenge. Even had him breathing hard. He may have paraded Hector's corpse, but he respected the fuck out of his skills.
The best choreographed fighting scene of all times.

Hector should've never intervened in his brothers affairs. He made a decision to steal a man's wife, he should've dealt with it himself. I'm no simp, but those were the times.

Well they are not following the Iliad , they took a what if the Trojan war actually happened as such no gods just men and war. And Achilles does not die from a cut to the tendon it's just his only unprotected spot ( in mythology anyway).

Possibly the best Hollywood fight scene ever
armor is still useless for some reason thou
Why?
***** Actually, the armor probably saved Achilles more than it did Hector. If you recall around 1:55 or so, Hector tried to slice at Achilles' calf, had there been no armor there, Achilles would've gotten a far worse injury. Not to mention when Hector sliced at him at 2:30 or so, Achilles' armor had a scratch on it which could've been his actual flesh had he gone without armor.
wilji1090 yeah that is true i just wish armor actually worked in these movies and tv shows game of thrones had one example of it serving its real purpose but most other times it seems like armor is just for looks and never stops anything
I've always likened it to someone knowing where the weak points are in armor. Granted, chainmail is always going to be flimsier than platemail, yet Kingdom of Heaven has a scene where Bailan took a sword blow to the arm and were it not for the chainmail, he would've lost his arm in the battle.
i miss fight scenes like this where you can see and analyze each fighters moves. and particularly i like how even though this scene is choreographed it doesnt feel fake or rehearsed it feels almost like they just said ok guys just go at it and we will film
I like how the choreography captures everything. He waits to give everyone a full effect of what he's doing before the final plunge. It pulls me away from a book. It tells me no this is this.

He was pissed cuz Hector killed his family. Would you make a deal with someone who had just killed one of your kin? I do not think so.

Well in the iliad hector knowingly kills patroclus and takes his armour after killing him lol
what enraged achilles is that he knew the boy had no chance against hector,no chance at all,this is a dynamic fight,with swords someone of both could die from bleeding out,old weapons are terrible weapons,guns are so impersonable
Thats what they were doing back in the days,to demoralize the viewers..It was a trend..
In the actual Iliad, after Hector killed Patroclus, he stripped Achilles' armor off, and wore it when he fought against Achilles. Then, after Hector ran away from Achilles for three days and sacrificing a large portion of the Trojan army because they got in between the two, Athena had to trick Hector into actually standing his ground, and the bitch died in one hit. So, Achilles dragging his dumb ass around for what he did is fair.

This is how you choreograph and film good action scenes.

No bro, in the Iliad Patroclus was a true hero, in fact he was slightly older than Achilles as opposed how it was portrayed in the movie. Patroclus was Achilles' mentor guiding the young warrior done the right path. He was a skilled warrior who killed numerous Trojans and slew Sarpedon a son of Zeus in book 16 of the Iliad. Hector and Patroclus encounter in the poem, and Hector was only able to kill him due to intervention of Apollo and Euphorbus( A Trojan warrior), and he knew who Patroclus was when he slew him? Patroclus was forced to intervene and wear Achilles' Armour in the Trojan war because Achilles was not willing to participate anymore, the man was just sitting in his tent.
Good people don't always win. Smarter people win. Game of Thrones taught me this.
“I won’t let a stone take my glory.” Too much warrior this Achilles is.
I hated Hector had to die. That whole war was because of his Paris. And even when he tried to man up and fight he still bitched out.
I agree. Even when one understands the aspects behind this time period in History, the possibility that all these events occurred as a result of Paris' inability to keep his carnal urges under control can irritate most individuals.
***** i have a little brother so i understand Hector wanting to protect him but his little brother's actions went over the line. Paris was taking advantage of hector, every time he was in danger he turned to hector. He just really got the shit end of the stick.

Understood T Stark.
Hector was covering his bro. That is what happens when you cover up bad shit. You get spewed in it too
AfroMalaya I wouldn't say he was covering for him. He was against his actions the entire time. With so many people looking up to hector he couldn't just turn his back on his brother. Those people in Troy were a tight knit group so morally he was obligated to bail his little brother out of all the stupid things he did
Brad Pitt is so freaking good in this movie. Well, almost in every movie.
That THUG LIFE face he gave them in the end...
😂
I was wondering the same xD
I am muscular than you
The choreography of this movie is so cool. It's obviously not realistic, but they truly capture the essence of Achilles's invulnerability with his every move. The confidence, relaxed aggression, and even the power of every strike. The dude looks like an absolute tank during 1:17 1:58 and 2:17 when he strikes.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, PARIS!
It's actually Aphrodite's fault. She gave Paris, Helen( the most beautiful woman in the world)
Livid Wolf If we're going by that logic, then it's Zeus' fault since he orchestrated the marriage between Peleus and Thetis
JustCallMeArabella if we're going by that logic, it's Cronos' fault since he ate the muthafunckin gods
Victor Paringaux How does that relate to the Trojan War, though? Lol
JustCallMeArabella Well, If Chronos didn't do that he wouldn't have died and Zeus couldn't have organized the mariage between Peleus and Thetis since he wouldn't have had that much power.
i never get sick of this movie. i feel like my obsession with it has to be a disorder on it's own. i've watched it so many times.
They're all watching like "Yeah, he has no chance."
lmao
+Stephen Coakley She literally looked away about half way in. It's like being too embarrassed for a friend to watch
+Bryan Frank actual fight lasted more than 2 hours
Kevin Li you're fun at parties
+Kevin Li actually Achilles took down with a shot of his spear
Got to say this is one of the few movies that I really enjoy watching, this fight scene was awesome
While not immortal, Achilles probably mythologically something akin to a "Captain America." Peak human everything with virtually limitless stamina. Hector as this fight was depicted was not only outmatched in skill, though he fought well enough to keep up for most of it, but he eventually got tired while Achilles was just as fresh as he was before the fight started. Nice to see spears incorporated into a one on one battle this way in a movie.
This movie is underrated. I don't get the hate at all. Its like people were just mad it wasn't as good as Braveheart/Gladiator.
Hate? I’ve never seen hate for this movie? Was it hated upon release?
Hated because it was so good people wanted more and we didn’t get more of brad Pitt and Achilles
I thought this movie was killer!
Best history epic of all time
Wasn’t as good? This is way better lmao
2:50
Lord Commander on The Wall... as always...
+myfavoritescenes nothing's changed
+myfavoritescenes For the watch!!
myfavoritescenes LMFAO
For the watch!!!
For the Watch.......
If you ignore the fact this movie came after Lord of the Rings, this aged really well.
my two favourite films (well 4 technically)
@Romanogers4ever Love how whenever Lord of the Rings is mentioned, people like you have to crawl out of the woods, to start bashing Game of Thrones.
"get up prince of Troy, get up.. I won't let a stone take my glory"
Achilles us basically toying with him the whole fight, Real Bad Ass
Actually in the book Hector was the only mortal to give Achilles an even fight. The only reason Achilles won is because he's Demigod...
I disagree. He actually landed a strike on his armor. The way Achilles stares at the mark, it was the tiniest shred of doubt coming over him. He also seemed to enjoy having a legitimate challenge. Achilles killed that monster of a man in the opening scene in one move like nothing. Achilles actually had to try with hector. He was even breathing heavy near the end.
@@stephengrigg5988 later he admits to his father, King Priam that Hector was the best he'd ever fought. So i completely agree, when Hector left a mark on Achilles' armour it surprised the Greek hero, he'd never been challenged quite as much as this. Same with his heavy breathing towards the end too
@@stephengrigg5988 he also wasn't so arrogant in his fight he knew what a fighter hector is and it be best to the fighting do the talking
@@nihaalsandim9986 completely agree. He was very vengeful in this fight because of his cousin's death but he did give hector credit for his skills later.
This fight was heartbreaking to watch. You see a good man die to a unlikeable demigod with no personality and humility. But that aside both eric and brad performed really well in the movie.
Everyone loved acheilles
@@steaksauce_4172 no
@@steaksauce_4172 everyone? 🤔I don’t think so
@@hellman20010 I'm sure the wife's and kids of the fallen hated him but Achilles was a beloved figure.
Achillies is far better and more honourable, he was the best and carried the whole movie
"There are no pacts between Lions and Men."
Real talk....Brad Pitt killed this joint
in the actual iliad he says something along the lines of... "There are no pacts between lions and men.. I would rather eat your flesh" in reference to accepting hectors pact about the proper burials
This is Achilles in his total badass mode.
Joshua Davies Nah, he was a fair man. A warrior. In war you kill your enemies.
bad ass? he proved himself nothing more than a base animal.
+Exposer O' Fraud that WAS Achilles.
Andrew in war, you either kill, or be killed.
Star-Lord The Legendary Outlaw Yeah but if your opponent is dead you pay him respect if he fought bravely, do you know what Achilles did after this scene ?
The look he gave them as he road off dragging dude was just savage...
Right? Like...
"Sure does smell like bitch right now..."
