One thing I always appreciated about this fight scene and this movie in general, was that it didn't show wounds as instantly fatal. Men here took wounds that were going to eventually kill them, yet they fought on, and so it was and is in real life.
Unless you're a bad guy and then you instantly go down from the smallest cut. 🤣🤦♂ I love Kingdom of Heaven but it still had some of the usual dumb movie tropes.

No, in fact it's old germanic law, if you accused someone of something, he had the opportuntiy to get rid of it by duell, "the will of the gods" in fact Tiu/ Tyr the God of War and Justice will protect the righteous one......, this law was still in use during the medieval ages.....

3:34 i always loves this scene. The sounds of the battle fade away, with the last breath the warrior raises his gaze to the sky, to the trees, to life and embraces death. The silent and peaceful death in the midst of chaos. There is something in that warrior's eyes that gives me the idea that he was always prepared for that moment, he does not resist and the last image he takes with him from this life is the green of the trees and the wind making their leaves dance.
Not to mention a masterful transition of scenes. Shot of the warrior looking up. CUT TO- Blurry trees from HIS perspective looking up at them. Enter the Hospitaller, OUT OF FOCUS. The Hospitaller steps forward INTO FOCUS, cut to the now dead Warrior on the ground. And just like that, gracefully, we are in the next scene.
@@ghostsofwargow2511 This is one of the best scenes in the film because of its realism. It is a true reflection of how fleeting life was in those times. What's the point of everyone on the protagonist's side surviving a medieval battle? The characters' deaths in battle are dignified and honorable, and tell you more about them than 20 more minutes of scenes.
@@christoff124 survived his wounds in Rome, death was scared shittless to take him. After the storm, which he obviously survived (again), he went to where Pullo is hanging around
One of the good ones, was the budding flower plant Balian's wife supposedly plant, which was seen at the beginning. At the end of the movie, we see it fully grown. I don't think I noticed that in the theater version.
And here we are, where the best characters are just casually killed off. What good additions Godfreys men in this scene could have been. Especially the German Lawyer that definitely doesnt look like a barbarian.
Whenever I rewatch this scene, I always think of how valuable each and every one of his companions would have been to Balian in the defence of Jerusalem. They were his masters at this point. Imagine what could have been? What an absolute travesty and waste.
The guy could have just ridden away. He knew that many would die, he just didn't think he would. What an asshole. It would have been a completely different story if his father had lived. He would have married the queen and become King if his father lived.
Jamie Lannister "You're my Uncle I must give you the road." Godfrey "Say Hello to my Cousin, your Sister, Cersei for me." Jamie Lannister "She may be my Sister, but only by blood!" Balian "This is more complicated than I thought."
Odo, the German knight - possibly a Franconian - is using a Migration Era Spatha sword. Known for being blade-heavy, I wouldn’t be surprised if he smashed that first retainer’s entire ribcage.
Legolas of the woodland realm, Lucius Vorenus of the 13th Legion, Professor Lupin of house Gryffindor, Qui-Gon Jinn of the Jedi Order and Jamie Lannister of House Lannister all just hanging in the woods.
To be fair, ransom was widely held to at the time, it was a mutual creation of the noble classes to escape death if they couldn't be bothered to fight. He had every right to expect his ransom would be honoured, and that the Crusaders - now fugitives in a hostile land - would be unwilling to bring a company of avenging knights down upon their heads. They were still far from the sea, and the murdered knight's mission/whereabouts would have been known, so his father would have had ample time to track down the Baron of Ibelin and carry out the King's justice.
Vorenus going all XIIIth on them was epic. I thought I had the extended version DVD of the movie but I guess I don't. There was at least 30-45 more seconds of (meaningful) content here.
That time when Qui-Gon Jinn rode Jaime Lannister down and cracked his head open, and Legolas and Tommy from TRAINSPOTTING and Remus Lupin were like *whoa.*
@ exactly. In the cinema version it was the bishop who sent his troops. They must have spent a hell of a long time shooting and re shooting that scene. It is much better. The queen also loses a baby in the longer version and the story does look very different. I was lucky to find one second hand version on Amazon
So we lost our Germanic and Nubian warriors, with Rob Roy and Vorenus soon to exit as well. KoH definitely lost some steam by the time Legolas got to the holy land.

They need to do a prequel about these warriors
From a time when Ridley Scott was still making good movies.
There at the end is a prime example of why you never surrender.
well, it depends. dude was showing attitude, so
Director's cut (extended version) is a must and one of my favourite movies of all time.
This opening feels like the tutorial level of a video game.
one of the best films ever made
This whole move (particular the Extended Version) was a masterpiece. I feel it doesn't get enough of a recognition.
A Lannister always pays his debts

You left out the REAL LIFE 2 times World Strongest Man.
And the spoiled brat King in Dragonheart.

Whatever you want to say about this film, the fight scenes were really good. More sword fights in a forest with light snow falling please
Brilliant film! One of SCOTTS best films! Especially the 4hr DIRECTORS CUT!x
Amazing scene
At 2:37 that German crusader did the splits while he had a arrow in his neck. Bruh.. lol Amazing love this movie
I love the Templar hide-and-seek game. Nice Film. Every Year
Honestly, it's hard to buy Orlando Bloom as medieval blacksmith.
At least he didn't have to try and repel down a rope to begin this battle!
Just as a port Royal blacksmith?
It’s hard to buy him as anything, he’s a terrible actor. The directors cut of this film would be a great movie if he wasn’t the lead actor.
He's an archer
Honestly though whoever dies here today you will be among them for that comment.
One of my favourite movies of all time!
the Kingdom of Heaven was Scott s best ever movie by far
Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator disagrees with you.
The German rips one man's shield out of their hand with the axe strike to make space for his sword slash. - Incredible detail. 2:29
such a star studded film. They had Legolas, Qui gon jinn, professor lupin, Lucious Vorenus and Jamie Lannister all in a forest fight
Phenomenal movie.
So Qui-Gon Jin, Will Turner, Remus Lupin and Lucius Vorenus meet, and are ambushed by Jamie Lannister.
Legolas of the woodland realm, Lucius Vorenus of the 13th Legion, Professor Lupin of house Gryffindor, Qui-Gon Jinn of the Jedi Order and Jamie Lannister of House Lannister all just hanging in the woods.
wow, that was an awesome cast! so many familiar faces.
Out of all the movies that get origin stories that don’t deserve them….an origin story about this group before they find Balian would’ve been awesome.
Underrated Comment!
Still need the prequel about these guys. One of the only prequels that might actually be needed and fucking awesome as well.

The Hospitaller Knight (the one who puts the sword above Balion's head) is not a man but an Angel.
So he redeemed himself after Dragonheart and became an angel.
