It actually used formations, ambushes, and calvary charges, and armor served a purpose beyond looking cool and being cut like paper. It's a great example of a medieval battle done well.
im not a fan of roman fangirls but youre right, one of the main strengts of roman army is was their mobility and their heavy heavy training they were not a phalanx, those sceneries in the the woods lost casue theyre were literally overwhelmed and attacked in an terrible terrain.
I'm glad Outlaw king actually uses archers as we think they were used against armored knights. Shot horizontally and at close range for maximum penetration of armor.
Yeah, but at long range you would want to hit the horses if they had no or only marginal horse barding. At the same time they use swords for cuts across chainmail, so it was probably more of an accident rather than intentional. Also they use a small archer group instead of massed archer fire
Dude eastern roman, Sassanids and arabs all have tradition of long range archery. In the book "peri toxeiai" a few italian historian analysis sources from different war manual (included the strategicon) Eastern Roman had special small arrows shot via "bow extender" that could reach 800paces (more than 300m). They even trained in movement shooting and rapid shooting. Western archers were noobs compared to eastern archers.
Outlaw king is teaching us something in the battle scene: never underestimate ur enemy...and every rank of soldier has a weaknesses. None are unstoppable
I like how so many movies assume that Roman legionaries were awful individual fighters. The reality is that they were probably some of the best trained individual fighters in the world. They spent hours practicing swordsmanship, hurling javelins, etc. when most of their enemies were part-time soldiers that were most often farmers or tradesmen. As Josephus wrote, the Romans won because their 'exercises were bloodless battles and their battles bloody exercises'.
Another thing many seem to not notice in the movie Centurion that battle looks more like what the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest would of looked like. Forest all around the area with Legions barely enough room to walk normal in Legion style...Barbarians coming from all sides of the forest.
well, but this movie scene is far from realistic... I mean, fireballs in a forest, a wide forest where you can see and reek fire coming? That's unrealistic as f**k! It would have rather been a clody day in a dense forest where the the germanic warriors would have played since they where children, so they knew every tree, every bush, every root. something like this😅
well she could do that if its a real good fighting woman and a real bad fighing and drunk legionary but woman have to fight at least as good as men or the feminists cry
@Jotaro97 well most soldiers up to world war one and two where at least a bit tipsy when they where fighting ... but i think you have not got my point ( sorry english is not my first langurage)
I feel you overestimate the battle effectiveness of Roman Legionnaires. They were an effective fighting force- but what really sets them apart is not their discipline, nor their macho roman aryan blood, but their superior logistics. Rome, at the time, controlled a large chunk of land to draw supplies from- and they could supply a sizeable force with said supplies. The romans lost battles fairly frequently- and aren't as immortal as pop culture would like you to think. What made them scary was that they kept fucking coming back. They'd suffer a defeat but they'd still be alive- while their opponents might've won, but they couldn't afford their losses.

Исторически район Газы никаким «сектором» не был - а всего лишь частью южного побережья Израиля, разделявшим свою историческую судьбу со всем южным побережьем. Люди здесь жили по крайней мере с периода Бронзы. В древние и не очень древние времена эта площадка служила плацдармом для Египетской армии в их набегах в сторону севера. По приходу филистимлян - народов, пришедших со стороны греческих островов - здесь вырос один из их 5 крупнейших городов - Газа. В результате их поражения от рук израильтян большая часть этого народа приняла иудаизм и растворилась среди еврейского населения страны. Собственно, евреи единственный народ на Ближнем Востоке, в жилах которых сохранилась кровь филистимлян. В период крестоносцев аюбиды заключили с рыцарями договор, что не будут нападать на Ашкелон, если христиане уберут из Газы свою крепость Гадр. Крепость убрали, после чего аюбиды захватили Ашкелон, нарушив договор, и это было началом конца Латинского королевства. Города района Газы были населены евреями на протяжении веков и тысячелетий, здесь строились синагоги - археологи нашли мозаику самой большой синагоги на Ближнем Востоке с изображением царя Давида, относящейся к 4 веку нашей эры. В византийский период появилась и важная христианская община. Арабы здесь стали селиться только в наше время, когда эта территория, как и весь Израиль стали частью Османской империи. Однако, евреев здесь и тогда было большинство. Здесь происходили важные события еврейской истории, в 17 веке проповедовал Натан Газский, призывая всех следовать за Шабтаем Цви. Египет периодически пытался отвоевать эту территорию, но турки ее себе возвращали. После поражения Турции в Первую мировую войну и прихода англичан, в Газе начинаются страшные еврейские погромы, первый из которых произошел в 1929 г. под влиянием антисемитских проповедей близкого друга Гитлера муфтия Иерусалима Хадж Амина эль-Хусейни. Евреи бегут отсюда, оставляя свою землю арабам. После войны за Независимость и становления государства Израиль эта территория вновь оккупирована Египтом; тогда она и становится «сектором». Сектором, откуда выходят террористы федаюны, нападавшие на еврейских фермеров и совершающие теракты в Израиле. Израильская армия входит сюда во время Шестидневной войны в 1967 г. Здесь основываются еврейские сельскохозяйственные поселки и устанавливаются армейские базы, поддерживающие на территории сектора определенный порядок. Присутствие армии значительно снижает количество терактов, однако они все равно продолжают осуществляться. Египет же, в свою очередь, несказанно рад, что избавился от большого количества людей, стремящихся не процветать, а убивать. В 2005 г. Израиль вышел из сектора Газы, попытавшись создать некую модель «Палестинского государства». Израильтяне, уйдя из сектора, оставили его арабским жителям плодоносящие теплицы, работающие производства и водопроводы. Никакой блокады сектора тогда не было. Газа стала свободным, независимым анклавом. Казалось бы - живи, строй, процветай. Привози технологии, развивай промышленность, строй отели на прекрасных песчаных побережьях сектора. У Газы были все шансы стать новым Сингапуром, минигосударством типа Лихтенштейна или Сан Марино. Однако все оставленные производства были тут же варварски уничтожены, а все средства пущены на производство оружия. К примеру, Франция и Германия подарила сектору 600 миллионов евро на строительство водопровода. Однако, трубы этого водопроводы были тут же порезаны на корпуса для ракет. Удобрения для сельского хозяйства превращены во взрывчатку. Цемент использован для строительства военных бункеров, а не отелей. И мир, да и Израиль продолжали вливать в Газу деньги. В 2007 г. в секторе Газы к власти приходит радикальное движение Хамас, за которое проголосовало подавляющее большинство жителей сектора. Ракеты полетели, несколько последовательных операций, призванных утихомирить обстановку, но не решить проблему, разумеется ни к чему не привели. В Газу по тайным туннелям на границе с Египтом (их более 2000) стало поступать российское и иранское оружие. Вот тогда-то Израилю и пришлось ввести частичную блокаду сектора, чтобы не допустить туда мощное оружие или компоненты для него. Не помогло. Израильские правительства, все до единого, считали, что стрельба по пустым сараям (жителей предупреждали заранее) - достаточная мера, чтобы держать Хамас и его братьев - Исламский джихад, Бригады мучеников Аль Аксы и т.д. - в узде. И в результате мы получили 7 октября 2023 г. После резни, устроенной жителями Газы (большинство не были боевиками Хамаса), отрезания голов еврейским младенцам, вспарывания животов беременным женщинам, сжигания заживо детей, население сектора устроило стотысячные демонстрации радости в каждом городе сектора. Запускались фейерверки, на улицах раздавали конфеты. Такой страшной резни евреев не было со времен Холокоста, да и то - варварство жителей Газы во многом превзошло действия нацистов. Израиль объявил войну. Как говорится, размах был на рубль, главное, чтобы удар был не на копейку… Совершенно очевидно, что мягкими мерами не обойтись. Нам просто не оставили другого пути. Хорошего решения проблемы нет. И жаль, что мир этого до сих пор не понимает
I was speechless in the theater back when it released, the movie is a damn masterpiece of epic proportions! The only one that comes close to this in this list is Mongol, which was also phenomenal!
Well, horse had been used and drilled for battle for so long in those days that they just did it out of tradition or natural instincts . By the way one movies often miss, horses naturally avoid direct contact with someone they charge across against. In real life these cavalry charges were nothing like the infantry melees they show in the films.

@@Wolfen443 horses fall into a state of something like panik when they run full speed. than they don't stop for anything when they think they can overrun it. They also are trained to run into people. Like police horses. As long as the rider don't shows fear, they will not turn and run because they trust their rider to know what they do. And when horse and rider are a long time together in many battles the horses understand what happens around them and they even fight for their rider. A trained veteran warhorse don't need to be lead by it's rider but knows to run with the others in formation, kick and bite the enemy and bring it's rider in a position to fight better.
Well, kinda. I own a horse and also ride it and I also like medieval times. So I have kind of expierience with horse riding and hitting my targets. And normally if say 20 fully armored knights are charging towards you as a footsoldier. You don´t waste time to think, you run. Even I fear the power of one single horse in a charge, then imagine what 20 or even a full battalion of horseman can do to your mental situation. Correct me if I´m wrong.
@@olivergyoerffy5636 the problem is, that if you run, you will be an even easier target. Infantry can only survive a cavalry charge by holding their ground. But the problem of knights is, that they use lances and can destroy infantry formations. The same with the macedonian sarissa cavalry like the hetairoi. The only thing, working against riders with lances are pikes or massed archers behind defences. And even if the cavalry only has spears and swords, the impact is horrible. But that can be stopped by a simple shieldwall when the warriors are brave and disciplined.
Unfortunately it is really inaccurate. The armour is totally wrong, especially with the loose neck coifs. Edward was never at Loudoun Hill and De Valance couldn't even speak English. Casualties at Loudoun Hill were also minimal with only around a hundred or so knights killed. They charged the front line, couldn't get through and so retreated. To be honest, a lot of people were surprised by Loudoun Hill being used as the climactic battle. Bannockburn was the true destruction of British intentions in Scotland
I love seeing such a revered general/ruler like Alexander the Great even struggle a bit. You rarely see that in movies, like with Napoleon or Genghis Khan.
It matters though at what time they were portrayed. Alexander was portrayed several times during some of his greatest battles, and he was known as a Commander of the Men (meaning he ate, slept and fought with them). Not sure how Genghis Khan is portrayed, I haven't seen that movie yet. Napoleon, I assume you mean the Battle of Waterloo? If so, that was after Napoleon had been through 20+ years of war. He didn't start off as a commander who led from behind the lines, but as an Officer of the artillery who actually led the charges at times to rally wavering French forces. As he became Emperor though, that task had to be handed down to other officers.
I appreciate that rather than add commentary over these scenes the person just showed us the scenes by themselves. So many of these ‘top ten’ videos is just them talking over the scenes, rather than just letting us watch it which is what we all want
The scene from "The Messenger" was absurd. Historians have pointed out that Joan of Arc said bluntly that she didn't fight, and she certainly didn't punch armored soldiers with her bare fist, which is ridiculous. She was also described by eyewitnesses as "beautiful" rather than the film's campy portrayal of her as a "butch". There were lots of other errors in the movie.
@@sangbum60090 I didn't say that, and that wasn't the issue. Besson said he wanted to make Jovovich look "androgynous" because he finds it "sexy" (he said that in media interviews, as I recall).
@@sangbum60090 But she didn't cut it in a modern crewcut style, nor anything nearly that short; and she wasn't androgynous if eyewitnesses described her as "beautiful and shapely".
This scene from the movie Alexander is undoubtedly one of the best, the simple fact of putting real elephants in addition to the scene where they all ride together towards the elephants is undoubtedly epic, one gets goosebumps.

There are still so many mistakes in these movies. The most common one being a wild malee fight where in most situations organized lines of men would fight forming shield walls. A melee would be too dangerous for both sides. And commanders would lose control. For many hundreds of years the Romans won battles with well maintained formations with large shields and, javelins and short swords. Often beating more numerous enemies. And the shield wall was a vital part of Viking warcraft. Holding the shield wall was a great honor. Without effective formations infantry can be devastated by cavalry. But many of these fighting scenes are impressive. There are few opportunities to get 10 000 or more actors for a movie. But with future computer graphics we could get some much more accurate battle scenes. Waterloo and Gettysburg are two of my favorites,
Totally agree. The first army who broke formation lost. This melee fights are completely unrealistic as you can be atacked any moment from the sides or from behind not to mention you will be exausted after a few minutes fight.
But it must also be mentioned that many writings and experiences on battle tactics and army leadership were lost after the fall of the Roman Empire. Great empires splintered into smaller ones and societies became wild again. Also, big battles, like in Roman times, in the early Middle Ages, were rather a rarity for cost reasons. It all came back little by little.
Play this back at 1/4 speed and you'll see amazing details lost in the normal speed mode. One cool one is actually seeing sparks fly off chain mail when slashed by a sword.
I prefer Watchers on the wall over the Battle of the bastards, Ramsey’s strategy works too perfectly IMO, and there’s a shit ton of plot armor. I still love the the three of them though.
I just wish it wasn't so dark and there wasn't so many cuts. Something I hate it any action scene, too many damn cuts. Can never see what's going on porperly.
@@gehtdichnixan3200 Most of the actual on screen battles in Game of Thrones are pretty good from a hollywood standpoint. Of course they don't really meet realistic expectations, but they actually do in the books. The battles in the books, most notably the Battle of Blackwater, Battle of the Greenfork, and battle of the Camps from the book series are all pretty strategically sound and play off of realistic medieval battles and skirmishes.
@@ethanragbir8311 from a hollywood point of few every nonsensical but cool looking sword waving is pretty good ... but when you take a single look at the army positioning and you se with your naked and nearly untrained eye ... that they made stupid nonsense like putting your catapults and army IN FRONT of your fortifications and cavalry where it is mostly crippled that than that may be good for hollywood but its still bullshit and ruins a film ( and i know the books too ... that makes it even worst)
At least in “the outlaw king” mail armor actually does it’s job! It actually protects, outside of strong piercing blows from horse back spears or a strong thrust from a good quality sword. Also granted, that kind of armor was not the correct type for that exact time period, but still it does it’s job.
If you were to stab normally, the chai mail would resist. It was in times where halfswording where mail was outmatched. This happens due to science. P=F/A. If you increase the force, the higher the pressure making the mail weaker.
I’ve never seen the Mongol movie before and I was not expecting the remaining elite troops (at least that what I assume they are) get blasted by friendly fire at the end. I thought all the arrows would somehow miss them
I heard a hearing that 'those unit' was not meant to leave the battle field until they die. they'll get executed on the spot if they leave the battle field
@@braindeadrainbow369 That is so stupid. The tactic makes no sense IRL, but if those guys are clearly so well trained and skilled enough to do such a thing, why would you use them to the last? If the tactics did work, the best course of actions would be to tell them to turn around and retreat to friendly lines once they have killed as many as possible, in order to use them for later
@@van-sx1332 Exactly. What you are describing is literally what happened irl. You don't just waste elite warriors, especially elite heavy cavalry. The time and resources that it takes to train both the warrior and horse plus the additional equipment on top makes them too valuable to just throw away like that. Elite units were always saved as reserves to be unleashed during crucial moments in order to turn the tide of battle.
"Blackwater Bay" is one of my favorites still. A tad underlighter perhaps, but a brutal scene! And there's nothing like seeing Rory McCann living his role of Sandor 'the Hound' Clegane, living up to the féared reputation of his character! Perhaps one of thé-best casted actors for a role, éver! Rory McCann wasnt very well known, and mostly played smaller parts, but in this show, he really proved to be gréat at what he does!
King Arthur is one of the most random movies I've ever seen. Ancient britons that use siege weapons with a king in roman armor and some horse archers straight from the time of Attila the Hun vs some hairy dudes with crossbows of the XIII century but look like vikings that are led by a chief with a double blade axe that comes out of the Minoic civilization. That's like a fever dream of the dude that always shows up with viking tattoos and haircut at the comicons and burps in front of everyone because he's a true man and you are a Christian to slain
And the fact the siege engines are trebuchets, which are late medieval. If they wanted to go with the "Arthur was a Roman" theory they should have used ballistae.
glad i saw a comment about this. Its like they couldnt settle on a style so just went fuck it, lets have them all. Film flopped so hard trying to replicate the epicness of LOTR which had not long finished up.
Just non sense !!! The guys went 5 or 600 meters deep into the enemy line and when they decide to turn back nobody is in front of them... Not to mention the impossibility to make so many kills or injury without being stopped before.
The rumble of the war elephants was pretty deadly. 50 of them charging fast and hard through the jungle would absolutely have been terrifying. Trees would be tipping limbs snapping birds screaming as they took flight.!And then the rumble in the ground at your feet and this all before you even see whats coming! Then they break through the closest brush to your front and sides! Instant cure for constipation!!!
The Alexander battle of the hydaspes would, despite the heavy losses on both sides the one I would choose. But I would fight for Alexander. The chances of dying in a battle formation are less than in the other movie fights man against man in endless single combat.
That first scene was bollocks lol that trap was too shallow to hold that entire force back for long, the horse corpses would have filled up much faster, and not to mention that the riders would have dismounted long before. --Most knights were nobles of sorts who actually had decent intelligence
That's actually more or less how the battle was fought. The point wasn't to take out all of the knights in the pits; it would have been impossible. Robert's strategy was to bog the English down to negate their cavalry advantage. Three pits were dug and lined with stakes on the only stable, flat ground between two bogs, thereby removing any terrain the knights would be effective on. Regarding the corpses, a bunch of bodies aren't very easy to maneuver on either. Remember, the point was to break the strength of the charge and tie down the cavalry. Robert's strategy was a massive success, considering he lost very few of his 600 militiamen, versus the hundreds of knights killed (out of a force of 3,000). In fact, the only major inaccuracies in this battle are the huge melee (breaking formation is never a good idea, but it makes for a fun scene, so there is that) and the presence of Edward II. Had he actually been there, the battle would have gone much worse (guy was an idiot) and he would have been captured and ransomed, executed, or forced to surrender. --Most knights were nobility or gentry who wouldn't think much of a few hundred peasants. High birth does not guarantee a high IQ. Even then, Aymer de Valence (the bald dude) was one of Englands preeminent military commanders, and the trap still worked. Point is, don't sell Robert the Bruce short. That's how England lost the war.
@IRISH BASTARD So, I double-checked, and yes, I was wrong about the stakes; the Scots just used pikes. Apparently, that was something the movie did for effect, but you can still see that the stakes were planted deep enough to not be seen from a distance, and were hidden from view by Robert's forces until the last moment, when it would be too late to stop the charge (that, and those helmets are pretty darn hard to see out of). However, the main point remains the same, as do the historical facts. Robert dug trenches, the knights charged into those trenches, and Robert won handily. Also, just to be clear, the entire point of a war horse is that they are bred and trained to charge into danger. Not great for the horse, but they would still go for it. Now, before you reply again, please consider that I have laid out the facts as understood by historians. I'm not trying to argue, just make a correction. So, let's not start a pointless debate in a YT comments section, please. We both have better things to do. I only replied because I saw an unresolved issue. Thank you for your time, and goodnight.
I wonder how much “friendly fire” there was back then with all that adrenaline and thousands of people within meters of you swinging swords spears etc around you to know who is who 😂
I thought this was ancient and medieval battles, so I didnt consider the Battle of Helmsdeep as its fiction. But seeing the battle of blackwater, the fact that the battle of helmsdeep isnt there is shamefull, it is a cinematic masterpiece.
I found the Mongol scene too outlandish for me. Mongol archers of the time were extremely skilled thanks to the lives on the steppe; they would have been able to select their targets and not hit their allies in their arrow volleys at that range.

Исторически район Газы никаким «сектором» не был - а всего лишь частью южного побережья Израиля, разделявшим свою историческую судьбу со всем южным побережьем.

По приходу филистимлян - народов, пришедших со стороны греческих островов - здесь вырос один из их 5 крупнейших городов - Газа. В результате их поражения от рук израильтян большая часть этого народа приняла иудаизм и растворилась среди еврейского населения страны. Собственно, евреи единственный народ на Ближнем Востоке, в жилах которых сохранилась кровь филистимлян.
В период крестоносцев аюбиды заключили с рыцарями договор, что не будут нападать на Ашкелон, если христиане уберут из Газы свою крепость Гадр. Крепость убрали, после чего аюбиды захватили Ашкелон, нарушив договор, и это было началом конца Латинского королевства.
Города района Газы были населены евреями на протяжении веков и тысячелетий, здесь строились синагоги - археологи нашли мозаику самой большой синагоги на Ближнем Востоке с изображением царя Давида, относящейся к 4 веку нашей эры. В византийский период появилась и важная христианская община. Арабы здесь стали селиться только в наше время, когда эта территория, как и весь Израиль стали частью Османской империи. Однако, евреев здесь и тогда было большинство. Здесь происходили важные события еврейской истории, в 17 веке проповедовал Натан Газский, призывая всех следовать за Шабтаем Цви. Египет периодически пытался отвоевать эту территорию, но турки ее себе возвращали.
После поражения Турции в Первую мировую войну и прихода англичан, в Газе начинаются страшные еврейские погромы, первый из которых произошел в 1929 г. под влиянием антисемитских проповедей близкого друга Гитлера муфтия Иерусалима Хадж Амина эль-Хусейни. Евреи бегут отсюда, оставляя свою землю арабам. После войны за Независимость и становления государства Израиль эта территория вновь оккупирована Египтом; тогда она и становится «сектором». Сектором, откуда выходят террористы федаюны, нападавшие на еврейских фермеров и совершающие теракты в Израиле. Израильская армия входит сюда во время Шестидневной войны в 1967 г. Здесь основываются еврейские сельскохозяйственные поселки и устанавливаются армейские базы, поддерживающие на территории сектора определенный порядок. Присутствие армии значительно снижает количество терактов, однако они все равно продолжают осуществляться. Египет же, в свою очередь, несказанно рад, что избавился от большого количества людей, стремящихся не процветать, а убивать.
В 2005 г. Израиль вышел из сектора Газы, попытавшись создать некую модель «Палестинского государства». Израильтяне, уйдя из сектора, оставили его арабским жителям плодоносящие теплицы, работающие производства и водопроводы. Никакой блокады сектора тогда не было. Газа стала свободным, независимым анклавом. Казалось бы - живи, строй, процветай. Привози технологии, развивай промышленность, строй отели на прекрасных песчаных побережьях сектора. У Газы были все шансы стать новым Сингапуром, минигосударством типа Лихтенштейна или Сан Марино. Однако все оставленные производства были тут же варварски уничтожены, а все средства пущены на производство оружия. К примеру, Франция и Германия подарила сектору 600 миллионов евро на строительство водопровода. Однако, трубы этого водопроводы были тут же порезаны на корпуса для ракет. Удобрения для сельского хозяйства превращены во взрывчатку. Цемент использован для строительства военных бункеров, а не отелей. И мир, да и Израиль продолжали вливать в Газу деньги.
В 2007 г. в секторе Газы к власти приходит радикальное движение Хамас, за которое проголосовало подавляющее большинство жителей сектора. Ракеты полетели, несколько последовательных операций, призванных утихомирить обстановку, но не решить проблему, разумеется ни к чему не привели. В Газу по тайным туннелям на границе с Египтом (их более 2000) стало поступать российское и иранское оружие. Вот тогда-то Израилю и пришлось ввести частичную блокаду сектора, чтобы не допустить туда мощное оружие или компоненты для него. Не помогло. Израильские правительства, все до единого, считали, что стрельба по пустым сараям (жителей предупреждали заранее) - достаточная мера, чтобы держать Хамас и его братьев - Исламский джихад, Бригады мучеников Аль Аксы и т.д. - в узде. И в результате мы получили 7 октября 2023 г.
После резни, устроенной жителями Газы (большинство не были боевиками Хамаса), отрезания голов еврейским младенцам, вспарывания животов беременным женщинам, сжигания заживо детей, население сектора устроило стотысячные демонстрации радости в каждом городе сектора. Запускались фейерверки, на улицах раздавали конфеты. Такой страшной резни евреев не было со времен Холокоста, да и то - варварство жителей Газы во многом превзошло действия нацистов. Израиль объявил войну. Как говорится, размах был на рубль, главное, чтобы удар был не на копейку… Совершенно очевидно, что мягкими мерами не обойтись. Нам просто не оставили другого пути. Хорошего решения проблемы нет. И жаль, что мир этого до сих пор не понимает
I was speechless in the theater back when it released, the movie is a damn masterpiece of epic proportions! The only one that comes close to this in this list is Mongol, which was also phenomenal!
They weren’t Roman’s and Alexander’s army had fought elephants before, but they fought the African species of elephant
@@СергейВампир-л6в why did u write all of this and how are we sure u are correct
i always wonder horses had like - i didn't sign up for sh*t moment
Well, horse had been used and drilled for battle for so long in those days that they just did it out of tradition or natural instincts . By the way one movies often miss, horses naturally avoid direct contact with someone they charge across against. In real life these cavalry charges were nothing like the infantry melees they show in the films.

@@Wolfen443 horses fall into a state of something like panik when they run full speed. than they don't stop for anything when they think they can overrun it. They also are trained to run into people. Like police horses. As long as the rider don't shows fear, they will not turn and run because they trust their rider to know what they do. And when horse and rider are a long time together in many battles the horses understand what happens around them and they even fight for their rider. A trained veteran warhorse don't need to be lead by it's rider but knows to run with the others in formation, kick and bite the enemy and bring it's rider in a position to fight better.
Well, kinda. I own a horse and also ride it and I also like medieval times. So I have kind of expierience with horse riding and hitting my targets. And normally if say 20 fully armored knights are charging towards you as a footsoldier. You don´t waste time to think, you run. Even I fear the power of one single horse in a charge, then imagine what 20 or even a full battalion of horseman can do to your mental situation.
Correct me if I´m wrong.
@@olivergyoerffy5636 the problem is, that if you run, you will be an even easier target. Infantry can only survive a cavalry charge by holding their ground. But the problem of knights is, that they use lances and can destroy infantry formations. The same with the macedonian sarissa cavalry like the hetairoi. The only thing, working against riders with lances are pikes or massed archers behind defences. And even if the cavalry only has spears and swords, the impact is horrible. But that can be stopped by a simple shieldwall when the warriors are brave and disciplined.
Outlaw king was fantastic. It really got the accuracy better than almost any Hollywood movie
So true.
How do you know?
@@nobunaga240 I know history, but search it up on YT. This movie did a phenomenal job
Unfortunately it is really inaccurate. The armour is totally wrong, especially with the loose neck coifs. Edward was never at Loudoun Hill and De Valance couldn't even speak English. Casualties at Loudoun Hill were also minimal with only around a hundred or so knights killed. They charged the front line, couldn't get through and so retreated. To be honest, a lot of people were surprised by Loudoun Hill being used as the climactic battle. Bannockburn was the true destruction of British intentions in Scotland
Still highly unrealistic. Swords slashing through chain mail like were it made of silk.
I love how Hollywood style movies make 3 layers of armor useles against swords.
Exactly my thoughts. And how everyone just dies off in one slash instead of injured people screaming for help.
And I hate how there is never formation. Like how does one know that the guy behind him is his ally in these Hollywood movies.
Bruh medieval combat looks absolutely terrifying
I love seeing such a revered general/ruler like Alexander the Great even struggle a bit. You rarely see that in movies, like with Napoleon or Genghis Khan.
He got kicked his ass in Bharat
It matters though at what time they were portrayed. Alexander was portrayed several times during some of his greatest battles, and he was known as a Commander of the Men (meaning he ate, slept and fought with them).
Not sure how Genghis Khan is portrayed, I haven't seen that movie yet.
Napoleon, I assume you mean the Battle of Waterloo? If so, that was after Napoleon had been through 20+ years of war. He didn't start off as a commander who led from behind the lines, but as an Officer of the artillery who actually led the charges at times to rally wavering French forces. As he became Emperor though, that task had to be handed down to other officers.
In films like Waterloo - the main Napoleon flick - you see his struggles constantly, but yeah
@@Vikingr4Jesus5919 HOLY CRAP it's you again, hello! Seen you at least twice before, I remember a Holdfast video I think
@@SStupendous Well yeah, because that was his downfall. Of course they’d show him struggle then.
I appreciate that rather than add commentary over these scenes the person just showed us the scenes by themselves. So many of these ‘top ten’ videos is just them talking over the scenes, rather than just letting us watch it which is what we all want
These movies are great for drawing out raw emotion, but I’ll never be able to reconcile the idea of how armor is practically useless in these films.
Not in the King. Just a bunch of sweaty dudes whacking each other with polearms or wrestling in the mud to find gaps in the armor with daggers.
The scene from "The Messenger" was absurd. Historians have pointed out that Joan of Arc said bluntly that she didn't fight, and she certainly didn't punch armored soldiers with her bare fist, which is ridiculous. She was also described by eyewitnesses as "beautiful" rather than the film's campy portrayal of her as a "butch". There were lots of other errors in the movie.
What, Mila Jovovich is ugly?
@@sangbum60090 I didn't say that, and that wasn't the issue. Besson said he wanted to make Jovovich look "androgynous" because he finds it "sexy" (he said that in media interviews, as I recall).
@@actadiurna6733 Well at least the director found it pretty. Joan of Arc cut her hair short. She was dark haired though.
@@sangbum60090 But she didn't cut it in a modern crewcut style, nor anything nearly that short; and she wasn't androgynous if eyewitnesses described her as "beautiful and shapely".
@@actadiurna6733 From what I remember from reading she was pretty but not particularly stunning.
This scene from the movie Alexander is undoubtedly one of the best, the simple fact of putting real elephants in addition to the scene where they all ride together towards the elephants is undoubtedly epic, one gets goosebumps.
i think it's the only movie where they worked with a really historian! all other movies are pretty muh fiction!

Happy to see Outlaw King 😃 You're a legend!!
There are still so many mistakes in these movies. The most common one being a wild malee fight where in most situations organized lines of men would fight forming shield walls. A melee would be too dangerous for both sides. And commanders would lose control. For many hundreds of years the Romans won battles with well maintained formations with large shields and, javelins and short swords. Often beating more numerous enemies. And the shield wall was a vital part of Viking warcraft. Holding the shield wall was a great honor. Without effective formations infantry can be devastated by cavalry. But many of these fighting scenes are impressive. There are few opportunities to get 10 000 or more actors for a movie. But with future computer graphics we could get some much more accurate battle scenes. Waterloo and Gettysburg are two of my favorites,
Can you recommend realistic historical movies? I don't mind the era. I have watched all the "realistic" WWII movies, though.
Totally agree. The first army who broke formation lost. This melee fights are completely unrealistic as you can be atacked any moment from the sides or from behind not to mention you will be exausted after a few minutes fight.
If you felt unsatisfied movie about Rome, go watch HBO version at the beginning
something like in the last kingdom?
But it must also be mentioned that many writings and experiences on battle tactics and army leadership were lost after the fall of the Roman Empire. Great empires splintered into smaller ones and societies became wild again. Also, big battles, like in Roman times, in the early Middle Ages, were rather a rarity for cost reasons. It all came back little by little.
Great work, great editing, great collection :)
Is it me or they took a lot from braveheart?
"Hey guys, do you think riding into a force that's several times our own with two swords is a good idea?"
"Man, who cares. It's gonna look sick!"
Play this back at 1/4 speed and you'll see amazing details lost in the normal speed mode. One cool one is actually seeing sparks fly off chain mail when slashed by a sword.
Kudos for choosing Blackwater, definitely the best battle in GoT even though the Battle of the Bastards is decent
I prefer Watchers on the wall over the Battle of the bastards, Ramsey’s strategy works too perfectly IMO, and there’s a shit ton of plot armor. I still love the the three of them though.
I just wish it wasn't so dark and there wasn't so many cuts. Something I hate it any action scene, too many damn cuts. Can never see what's going on porperly.
its hard to find a good battle in got ... but yes that was ok in most battles in got i would execute my own generals for colaborating with the enemy
@@gehtdichnixan3200 Most of the actual on screen battles in Game of Thrones are pretty good from a hollywood standpoint. Of course they don't really meet realistic expectations, but they actually do in the books. The battles in the books, most notably the Battle of Blackwater, Battle of the Greenfork, and battle of the Camps from the book series are all pretty strategically sound and play off of realistic medieval battles and skirmishes.
@@ethanragbir8311 from a hollywood point of few every nonsensical but cool looking sword waving is pretty good ... but when you take a single look at the army positioning and you se with your naked and nearly untrained eye ... that they made stupid nonsense like putting your catapults and army IN FRONT of your fortifications and cavalry where it is mostly crippled that than that may be good for hollywood but its still bullshit and ruins a film
( and i know the books too ... that makes it even worst)
At least in “the outlaw king” mail armor actually does it’s job! It actually protects, outside of strong piercing blows from horse back spears or a strong thrust from a good quality sword.
Also granted, that kind of armor was not the correct type for that exact time period, but still it does it’s job.
Ehhh they are supposed to protect form slashing weapons not piercing
@@donovansmith9564 that’s what I said.
and still not enough that bow penetrations where rediculus
You're wrong mail armor was meant to stop slashes, cuts from axe 🪓 like weopon it did not stop piercings from swords, arrows and Spears
If you were to stab normally, the chai mail would resist. It was in times where halfswording where mail was outmatched. This happens due to science. P=F/A. If you increase the force, the higher the pressure making the mail weaker.
I’ve never seen the Mongol movie before and I was not expecting the remaining elite troops (at least that what I assume they are) get blasted by friendly fire at the end. I thought all the arrows would somehow miss them
I heard a hearing that 'those unit' was not meant to leave the battle field until they die. they'll get executed on the spot if they leave the battle field
@@braindeadrainbow369 That is so stupid. The tactic makes no sense IRL, but if those guys are clearly so well trained and skilled enough to do such a thing, why would you use them to the last? If the tactics did work, the best course of actions would be to tell them to turn around and retreat to friendly lines once they have killed as many as possible, in order to use them for later
@@van-sx1332 Exactly. What you are describing is literally what happened irl. You don't just waste elite warriors, especially elite heavy cavalry. The time and resources that it takes to train both the warrior and horse plus the additional equipment on top makes them too valuable to just throw away like that. Elite units were always saved as reserves to be unleashed during crucial moments in order to turn the tide of battle.
@@zippyparakeet1074 I heard they were death row, and this is their chance to redeem themselves.
I know I am late, but is there a clear answer other than they were in the way as to why they got shot? I tried looking it up but found no answers
"Blackwater Bay" is one of my favorites still. A tad underlighter perhaps, but a brutal scene! And there's nothing like seeing Rory McCann living his role of Sandor 'the Hound' Clegane, living up to the féared reputation of his character!
Perhaps one of thé-best casted actors for a role, éver! Rory McCann wasnt very well known, and mostly played smaller parts, but in this show, he really proved to be gréat at what he does!
One of the best chapters. I agree.
We saw Rory McCann twice in this video. He was also in Alexander.
King Arthur is one of the most random movies I've ever seen. Ancient britons that use siege weapons with a king in roman armor and some horse archers straight from the time of Attila the Hun vs some hairy dudes with crossbows of the XIII century but look like vikings that are led by a chief with a double blade axe that comes out of the Minoic civilization.
That's like a fever dream of the dude that always shows up with viking tattoos and haircut at the comicons and burps in front of everyone because he's a true man and you are a Christian to slain
And the fact the siege engines are trebuchets, which are late medieval. If they wanted to go with the "Arthur was a Roman" theory they should have used ballistae.
glad i saw a comment about this. Its like they couldnt settle on a style so just went fuck it, lets have them all. Film flopped so hard trying to replicate the epicness of LOTR which had not long finished up.
I was about to comment this. I've never seen the battle but I know my armour and weapons and that was a mess
Tbf the reason Arthur is in roman armor is because the film is based on the idea that Arthur was based on the roman Lucius Artorius Castus.
@@gvd72 Yeah but the amount of random weapons and armor makes it really weird to watch. In the first 2 minutes I didn't even know what was going on
Those stuntmen for Spartacus tho... daaaaaaaaaaamn.

Just non sense !!! The guys went 5 or 600 meters deep into the enemy line and when they decide to turn back nobody is in front of them... Not to mention the impossibility to make so many kills or injury without being stopped before.

And sorry for my Bad english
I'm too don't know English natively / sorry 😊
Imagine all that preparation for war and then you get caught by a trap at the very beginning of the battle.
Shout out to the extras that make these scenes dope as all get out.
The rumble of the war elephants was pretty deadly. 50 of them charging fast and hard through the jungle would absolutely have been terrifying. Trees would be tipping limbs snapping birds screaming as they took flight.!And then the rumble in the ground at your feet and this all before you even see whats coming! Then they break through the closest brush to your front and sides! Instant cure for constipation!!!
Just fantasize about being in these all of these battles as a variety of Soldiers clad head to toe in steel and leather armed with a sword and shield
The Alexander battle of the hydaspes would, despite the heavy losses on both sides the one I would choose. But I would fight for Alexander. The chances of dying in a battle formation are less than in the other movie fights man against man in endless single combat.
@@jarlnils435 exactly you are correct
And getting my brains smashed in by a warhammer? No thanks.
@@isaacwebb6086 Oof
That first scene was bollocks lol that trap was too shallow to hold that entire force back for long, the horse corpses would have filled up much faster, and not to mention that the riders would have dismounted long before. --Most knights were nobles of sorts who actually had decent intelligence
That's actually more or less how the battle was fought. The point wasn't to take out all of the knights in the pits; it would have been impossible. Robert's strategy was to bog the English down to negate their cavalry advantage. Three pits were dug and lined with stakes on the only stable, flat ground between two bogs, thereby removing any terrain the knights would be effective on. Regarding the corpses, a bunch of bodies aren't very easy to maneuver on either. Remember, the point was to break the strength of the charge and tie down the cavalry. Robert's strategy was a massive success, considering he lost very few of his 600 militiamen, versus the hundreds of knights killed (out of a force of 3,000). In fact, the only major inaccuracies in this battle are the huge melee (breaking formation is never a good idea, but it makes for a fun scene, so there is that) and the presence of Edward II. Had he actually been there, the battle would have gone much worse (guy was an idiot) and he would have been captured and ransomed, executed, or forced to surrender.
--Most knights were nobility or gentry who wouldn't think much of a few hundred peasants. High birth does not guarantee a high IQ. Even then, Aymer de Valence (the bald dude) was one of Englands preeminent military commanders, and the trap still worked. Point is, don't sell Robert the Bruce short. That's how England lost the war.
@IRISH BASTARD So, I double-checked, and yes, I was wrong about the stakes; the Scots just used pikes. Apparently, that was something the movie did for effect, but you can still see that the stakes were planted deep enough to not be seen from a distance, and were hidden from view by Robert's forces until the last moment, when it would be too late to stop the charge (that, and those helmets are pretty darn hard to see out of).
However, the main point remains the same, as do the historical facts. Robert dug trenches, the knights charged into those trenches, and Robert won handily.
Also, just to be clear, the entire point of a war horse is that they are bred and trained to charge into danger. Not great for the horse, but they would still go for it.
Now, before you reply again, please consider that I have laid out the facts as understood by historians. I'm not trying to argue, just make a correction. So, let's not start a pointless debate in a YT comments section, please. We both have better things to do. I only replied because I saw an unresolved issue.
Thank you for your time, and goodnight.

I found the Mongol scene too outlandish for me. Mongol archers of the time were extremely skilled thanks to the lives on the steppe; they would have been able to select their targets and not hit their allies in their arrow volleys at that range.
