• Troy (2004) Hector vs ...
--------------------------------------------
Troy is a 2004 American epic historical war film directed by Wolfgang Petersen and written by David Benioff. Produced by units in Malta, Mexico and Britain's Shepperton Studios, the film features an ensemble cast led by Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, and Orlando Bloom. It is loosely based on Homer's Iliad in its narration of the entire story of the decade-long Trojan War-condensed into little more than a couple of weeks, rather than just the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon in the ninth year. Achilles leads his Myrmidons along with the rest of the Greek army invading the historical city of Troy, defended by Hector's Trojan army. The end of the film (the sack of Troy) is not taken from the Iliad, but rather from Quintus Smyrnaeus's Posthomerica as the Iliad concludes with Hector's death and funeral.

Hector REALLY didn’t do too bad for fighting the single greatest warrior of all time
I think Achilles says Hector was the best he’s ever fought, later in the movie.
He does indeed say Hector was the best he had faced, to Priam, (Hector's father) when he returns Hector's body to him for proper funeral rites.
Also, considering that Hector actually managed to land a blow on Achilles, when he slashes the tip of his sword against Achilles' cuirass, he does quite well. Granted, it doesn't wound Achilles at all because Achilles' economy of movement is so incredibly brilliant that he is able to step back just far enough that it only scratches his armor rather than slicing through into his chest. Also, how many times does Hector manage to avoid/deflect Achilles' favored killing move? (the jumping downward thrust with sword or spear that he uses on the big guy, with sword, in the opening fight) 2? 3? So yes Hector holds his own just fine when you consider who he's fighting.
Ajax was whooping Hector also….Ajax by the odyssey is the second greatest warrior to ever live 2 to Achilles only
Achilles was not the greatest but one of the greatest warriors of all time.
@@sagnikdas113who's the greatest?
I love how Achilles signature jump-strike effectively portrays his whole demeanor: strength + elegance
And Hector blocks or dodges it several times. Not many could pull that off.
@@cympimpin20 by this time, Hector was already aware of it.
not elegance, just the strength and focus of a professional hired killer vs the weakened trojan prince, who lived in fear of everything they had to lose.
Strength and agility
I'd say Hector strikes with strenght and brutality. He could be elegant because he is way stronger and resilient, but he doesn't care. He just want blood and revenge...
“Get up ‘Prince of Troy’, I won’t let a stone take my glory”
One of the greatest fight scenes ever!
facts
Achilles. ❤❤
What you’re describing isn’t a fight scene. It’s actually a line during a fight scene. So it would be part of the script which there are records of & should be referenced as “one of the greatest lines*” in a movie. Not “one of the greatest scenes.”
@@ItzGoldfish1 My man, Achilles was worthy to win this fight. The duel was fair, Hector was a cunning warrior and Achilles was the greatest fighter of all time
@@macysondheimDork get a life
When you realise that they put off their helmets just to show that eric and brad are doing the stunts🔝
Funny you say that, because when it comes to the most iconic move in this whole fight, it wasn’t brad or eric 😂 still a great scene
Yep they even used stunts for half of this fight scene bro
The removing of the helmets is literally just a flex by Achilles to show he’s actually fighting him. Hector does the same out of respect
Well, I don’t think all the stunts are made by Eric and Brad, just some of them, but they trained hard.
Think what you must
I’m unarmed
My information is current
"Now you know who you're fighting" one of the most badass lines. However, the more I watch this movie, the more I think Hector is the best character.
Correct. Achillies is the better warrior by far, but that doesnt make him right or a good person. He's just good at what he does which is winning
@@SmartAss4123best warrior, but my guy means hector is a best character.
When you think about it, It's a damn shame Hector has to die for his brothers nonsense.
@@Adieritone of the main reasons I hate Paris, all those deaths and for what? Because a little shit couldn’t keep it in his pants
there is no "best" character.
everyone loses, that's why it's "greek tragedy"
Troy honestly has the best coordinated spearfighting I've seen in a movie.
Yap, it's great. I like however how "simple" they made the fight between Jen and Shu Lien in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (considering all the effects in the rest of the movie). The spear skills of Shu Lien are also great
the original soundtrack on this scene was wayyy better. just a simple hand drum, it honestly kicks the badass level into overdrive.
"honestly"
please, never comment again. ever.
Yup. Achilles really wanted to win with the spear to prove he was better, knowing hectors choice of weapon was the spear. If not for the gods hector would still be alive. In the book it was a roll of the dye that determined the outcome because both were favored by the gods
@ALChewBacca Yeah Hermes tricked Hector to stop running from Achilles in the story.
I always loved the part where Hector's sword slices into Achilles' breastplate, and he looks down like, "Damn. No man has ever gotten that close to ending me before".
By the lore It wouldn't even scratch his skin. Only his heel can be wounded
@@inchyokk Yes. But it didn't scratch his skin. Just his armor.😊
@@inchyokk yeah but that's not why it's significant. Achilles is said to be the greatest warrior OAT, no man can match him and no man can even come close to harming him. While Achilles was immortal (except his heel), he still trained harder than anyone else, he didn't use his immortality as a crutch and would best every man before him. Hector was the only man so far to ever throw Achilles off balance and strike him. Hector is the only man to have ever make Achilles make a mistake. That's definitely something, especially when you consider that Hector is a man and Achilles is a demi god.
@@inchyokkexcept that was an addition from way after Homer wrote the Illiad. Originally, Achilles was simply THAT good a fighter that he seemed invincible. The whole thing about the heel being his weak spot only came later.
The movie gives a nod to that, in that Achilles didn't die after getting his heel shot by Paris, but since he couldn't run or dodge BECAUSE of that wound, it let Paris strike further arrows dead center mass... which would kill anybody if we're honest, no matter how good they are.
@@inchyokkdude by the lore Achilles couldnt defeat Hector easily tho. If i remember correctly Athena puts a rock behind Hector's foot and when Hector falls Achilles strikes him down. Which is dishonorable move. The quote in this movie "i wont let a stone take my glory" reference to that. Achilles in illiad is not a admired man. He disguises himself as woman to not to go to Troy. He is still the greatest warrior of all time though.
They did a great job with getting Achilles nearly supernatural skill across, without making it look fake, or like he’s super human. It’s just the pinnacle of what a human warrior is capable of. The economy of motion almost makes it look like kata or something.
Yes, considering Achilles was a demigod.
You gotta give Hector his props for a good fight he managed to strike and begin to wear down Achilles, considering Hector was 100% mortal.
helps a little when you're basically immortal though. does wonders for your confidence.
Hector was the better fighter. In the fight the gods hampered or straight up intervened making Hector lose.
His endurance is also what's almost superhuman
Yeah, but Achilles had god mode on. He's a hacker.
Never seen a fight scene this good

Brad Pitt is truly remarkable. I had the privilege of having a private meeting with him last week,after supporting his poverty alleviation foundation thanks to Radiant Reservation.I was deeply impressed by his kindness towards the press and his attentiveness to his fans.
Wow,truly amazing! I don’t think I can go on for much longer without him lol. How did you manage to meet him ?
After watching Babylon, my interest grew immensely in meeting the co-stars. During my search, I came across an interview where Brad mentioned that he engages with his active fans through Radiant Reservation. This piqued my curiosity as I had many questions about Hollywood on my mind.
My research led me to an exclusive club hosted by Radiant Reservation. As a privileged member, there's a golden opportunity to meet your desired celebrity. Brad Pitt generously allocates time at the end of each month to personally connect with active club members who support his foundation and invest in his related movie franchise
I Found the Radiant Reservation community, which excels in facilitating arrangements with celebrities/public figures and private organizations. Their tremendous support makes them an outstanding resource for such endeavors.
That sounds absolutely captivating! I'm genuinely intrigued about the prospect of becoming a part of the club. Thank you so much for enlightening me with this information. Truly, it presents an extraordinary opportunity for Fans such as ourselves.
Hector was best character in this movie....great son....good husband and good brother.
How did you know ?
He is. The Homeric poems even say As Much.
Everyone in the audience was praying for Hector to win and the way he gradually loses to Archilles is epic. The director took his time to prepare the audience for his death. It was slow yet painful.
I had not red the Iliad before I watched this. So I didn’t know the outcome. I thought hector was going to somehow win and was sad that I thought Achilles was going to lose. Because how so many movies set up fights. The underdog losing and makes a comeback type of thing. Of course I was not part of the audience you were with. But a different perspective.
'Everyone in the audience' ehm.. no. Where did you get that idea
i watch this scene from time to time, and everytime i watch i have a hope that Hector will win. I think this day is close, AI will make this possible soon :)
@@PhyrexJ Hector is depicted as a simple man who only wanted to protect his family, Achilles as some kind of arrogant asshole who only seeks personal glory at this point. I was deeply hoping Hector would win and I wouldn't be surprised if we were a large majority in that case.
Wolfgang I think was the Dir's last name
Hector's the tragic hero of this story. If his father had listened to his son's advice instead of relying on the gods for everything, it might not have come to this.
Honestly my favorite part of this part of the movie is Hector saying his goodbyes and in the background you hear Achilles screaming "HECTORRR" over and over again. Calling him to his reckoning. Best part of the whole film
He could've done anything but stab the kid with the sword after he slit his throat. He would've at least got Achilles's respect if he delivered the body to him in person. But the book Hector is worse. After Helios informs Hector that Patroclus is masquerading as Achilles, he guides Hector's hand to stab Patroclus, then strips his armor off and wears it, before being confronted by Achilles without armor. After Achilles kills Hector, he removes his armor off Hector's body and drags him away. All in all he didn't deserve what he got after dying, but he certainly deserved to be killed for his actions.
@@talkshow69achilles's armor tended to have that effect didn't it? Make people behave like absolute cunts.
@@talkshow69 He stabbed the kid so he wouldnt suffer.
you can take several minutes to die from having your throat slit its not a "instant kill" like they show in TV/Movies, what Hector did was a Mercy.
@@talkshow69 It's hardly like Patroclus in the Iliad was much different. He ordered the other Achaens to strip Sarpedon of his armour after killing him in Book 16, why is it a problem if Hector strips Patroclus of Achilles' armour?
@@KuryouTheRunt according to the work of the Iliad and the Little Iliad, the great hero was Diomedes. He was the favorite hero of the goddess Athena. He killed many important Trojans and wounded the gods Aphrodite, Apollo, Mars. seriously injured the hero Aeneas who was saved with the help of the goddess Aphrodite. He also tried to kill Hector three times, but was saved by the intervention of the god Zeus. When Achilles killed a relative in his anger, Diomedes was not afraid to duel him for revenge. After the old Nestor, he was considered the wisest of the Greeks. Hector was a second-rate hero. Twice he was in danger of being killed by Ajax and was saved by divine intervention. Patroclus was superior to Hector. He would have conquered Troy if the god Apollo had not prevented him. The god Apollo was the one who killed Patroclus and Eumorphos delivers the second fatal blow
Hector merely gave him the finishing blow in an arrogant manner and wanted to throw Patroclus' dead body to the dogs. But Hector was the man who loved his family but not his country because he could have given Helen back later and the war would have ended
Among the heroes, we place Achilles, Diomedes, Ajax in the first class of bravery. Achilles and Ajax were invulnerable except for one point. In the second class was Patroklos. In the third class were Hector, Odysseus and Menelaus.
"There are no pacts between lions and men"
"Get up Prince Of Troy..... Get up... Won't let the Stone to take my glory" Badass line ever!
The whole movie is full of great lines, great action, great everything. Somehow a terribly underrated movie that’s gotten lost in the shuffle of time. Deserves way more credit than it gets.
Poor marketing and Orlando Bloom gives a terrible performance in what is a crucial role (see also Kingdom of Heaven).
💯
@Duckiman Orlando bloom stops this movie from being a classic.
Hector represents the apex of human performance in both intelligence and skill, whereas Achilles represents demi-divinity... the most well trained man is just always a step behind a god
Wrong
Hector represent adultery , Achilles represent honor.
hector represents the weakness inherent in the eastern branch of the same family for which achilles is the western example, a professional killer with no ties to anyone except his employer
@@gundarvarr1024Hector was one of the most honorable man to walk this earth. Achilles was a rockstar who only cared about himself.
Yeah, Achilles is a primadonna (at least in the film's portrayal). Talented, beyond question, but still a primadonna
Easily one of the greatest 1vs1 sword fights of all time
And this was like, 2004
To be honest for Achilles it's wasn't that great of a fight... It was easy, well what can we say about the man who was the greatest warrior of that generation and probably one of mightiest warrior ever in human recorded history
I miss the days where cameras don't shake like its magnitude 10. This movie is just too so smooth
Or a thousand cuts to hide the stuntman, and cover up the lack of martial skills and athleticism of the actor.
The last sequence where Achilles grabbed the broken spear from Hector and then spins around acting like he's gonna attack and then directly, accurately throws the broken spear to Hector's chest is just freakin awesome and clean.
And shows how the endurance achilles built was important as hector was just a little too slow due to fatigue and just a little too full of lactic acid to hold onto the spear.
I mean the choreography is actually insane. It’s remarkable neither got seriously hurt doing this together. They are inches away from actually hitting one another with blunt weapons. One misfire or slip of mind could’ve resulted in serious injury. Absolutely impressive.
And it's even better with the original music
Having done ancient fencing, which is approximately what you see in movies, I can assure you they 100% hit each other by mistake during training.
Better yet, the two actors agreed to pay $50 for each accidental light blow, and $100 for each accidental hard blow. Brad Pitt owed $750 by the end of filming, and Eric Bana owed him nothing
Actually...they made a gentleman's agreement: $50 for every soft accidental hit and $100 for every hard hit. Brad Pitt ended up paying Eric Bana $750. I don't know what the breakdown was but there was definitely blows between the two during filming.
Thought I might add my take on this. If you notice before the fight, hector’s skills were proficient hence why he was hailed as the best warrior in the Trojan army. With the exception of Ajax, he had no difficulty eliminating countless Greek soldiers with ease. Including patrocles, Achilles cousin.
When Achilles and his men invaded the temple of Apollo, hector single handedly killed many Greek soldiers before confronting Achilles in the adyton.
It’s not until he fights Achilles that you see he’s clearly outmatched and nowhere near the skill level or athleticism of Achilles. What’s ironic is that his fighting skills spawned from years of battle experience, saved him from being killed earlier on as Achilles was actually prolonging his defeat.
He knew he had hector beat, he just had to see how his cousin was slain (slice to the throat) and then exploit hector’s main weakness which is his stamina. Notice how hector grew tired and Achilles just picked him off for the taking, delivering the final blow when he knew hector had nothing left in the tank.
The psychology in this fight is great.
Yeah it is. They’re definitely both extremely well fighters.
@Goldfish classic example of knowing you're outmatched and saying "fuck it" anyways and doing what you can. Pretty sure Hector knew he was dead in this scene and that's why he asks for a pact. Really miss original music but Im guessing copyrights annoying asf.
@@StoobsNA it's not about copyright, the studio remade the teathrical versión with New music
In the book the sword goes in his mouth
Hector knew this would be his end but still chose to fight and protect his country. Being brave isn't having no fear Hector still fought even though he had fear. It's clear in the movie why he advocates to take Helen back, argues that they can't win this war, and shows his wife the escape tunnel he knew all along. Definitely my favorite character, thankful for all the fellow fans.
Hector knew his time was near that's why he asked for a proper burial
he assumed Achilles would best him. but still fought elegantly
Yes. He knew no one came back from a fight with Achilles.
However Achilles fought like he had nothing to lose because partially he too knew he would die. The prophecy said about him that if he entered the battle he would die young but with glory.
Both adversaries knew they would die
@@katerinaaqu Achilles own mother knew if he had went to war that he would not come back, she knew he would meet his death..purely a mother's intuition
@ingodwetrust7648 it was not intuition. It was a prophecy. When Achilles was born he was given two futures. One he doesn't fight and returns home to die of old old age but without glory and the second was that he fights, he dies at war and he gets plenty of glory.
He knew he couldn't defeat Achilles, he knew Achilles was going to kill him, and he also knew that Achilles was angry because of who Patroclus was to him. (Depending on which version of the Trojan War you're reading/watching, Patroclus was his best friend/lover/cousin, regardless someone Achilles cared about deeply) And while Hector was such an honorable man that he knew he'd allow Achilles a proper funeral IF he defeated him, he was afraid that Achilles' anger would cause him to act dishonorably, and he didn't want his family to have to see the desecration of his body.
It is remarkable the confidence of Achilles' moves as he is fighting. He knows that he is unbeatable and brings the terror in his enemy. Hector was a great fighter but he couldn't have a change against the greatest warrior this planet have ever seen. Brad Pitt in his best in this great movie. I can't imagine anyone could be better in this role.
I agree. Maybe Leo Dicaprio is the only dude who also have the skills to portray Achilles' arrogance and confidence, but he doesn't have Brad's physical conditioning. One of the best casting ever.
One of the greatest fight scenes of all time

@@insultlk exactly lol
I had a friend growing up, who when I played the board game Stratego with him it felt like being Hector here.
Reminds me of one of my old roommates back in the days of original Halo. I could match him for straight kills most of the time, but he had a mind for strategy and he could multitask like an absolute boss. Whenever we went online, he was always the de facto leader because he could keep track of all our POVs across splitscreen or multiple TVs and guide us to the win, while still being one of the best players on the field individually.
Playing Halo 1 with my friend was the same experience as Stratego. Cool guy, but the iciest competitor. It seriously felt like the temperature in the room would drop when he was focused on defeating you. He went on to be a fairly high achieving work-aholic.
It's cool how your friend's talents came in handy. @@herbderbler1585
Hector was a great warrior, he didn't have a cheat code from his mother that made him nearly invincible.
This movie isn’t surrounded by mythology. And looks at the realistic side of Troy. That’s why i love it so much. Achilles wasn’t a god. He was just very well trained soldier.
Lmao. This movie completely omits the mythology aspect of ILLIAD. Here, hector loses just cause he's bad
@samiurrahman2450 the story is based upon the Illiad where Achillies was practically immortal. That's why in the movie they had to show him as the best warrior. There is also a scene in the beginning of the movie where they literally show his goddess mother
@@ItzGoldfish1 Maybe you are a soldier. Achilles was the killer of the fool Hector. End of the story. Bring back the goldfishes, you hector.
@ItzGoldfish1 exactly how I looked at it, and why I enjoy this movies interpretation so much. He's seemingly just such a well trained warrior that people take his skill for a divine cause, like they'd call misunderstood sciences magic. at least that's how I saw it in the movie.
I wish there was a theatre that would play older movies, I wish I could enjoy this in the cinema.
Imagine how much training these 2 actors did to perfect this scene ❤
Achilles is hailed as the greatest Greek warrior of all time. Hector lasted nearly 2.5 minutes toe to toe with him and managed to slice is armor. For a mere man…that ain’t too shabby.
No, he is not. Hercules is. Hercules would slaughter Achilles.
Achilles can beat him in a second. He just want to burn, humiliate him in front of his people.
"There's no pact between lions and men" one of the coldest lines ever.

I honestly can't tell if this is a compliment.

@@neddhu agreed!!!
Netflix is trash
He admitted later that hector was the best he ever fought!
That last sequence where he disarms Hector of the spear and then fakes the first strike and plants the spear the 2nd time was so clean.
Poor stone : he just want some glory
Paris -"I wont ask you to fight my battles brother"
Hector - literally fighting and dying in his war
Weak men were always a curse I guess.
This movie also points out how kings are often those weak men.
"Imagine a king who fights his own battles."
This is the biggest "I'm him" moment in Greek mythology.
The way he just plays with his food towards the end is both dope and straight disrespectful 😂
I remember watching Troy for the first time when I was a kid. I was thinking "later I want to be like Achilles"
“I won’t let a stone take my glory” 🔥🔥
Something I couldn't help but notice is that the difference in styles is what determines this fight. Hector is more of a traditional warrior, which means he is obviously more used to charging into battle with an army behind him. So his fighting style relies on brute force and strength with no much room to maneuver. Part of the reason he had difficulty against Ajax was that he was facing someone who was stronger in a smaller arena (them being boxed in by the battle around them) and was only saved by stumbling on weapons. Whereas against Patroclus, Hector had the advantage because it was a much smaller arena, and Patroclus was trained to try and be more mobile in his fighting technique like Achilles. He was boxed in going against someone who fought with pure strength and brute force. Here, however... Hector is at a serious disadvantage the second the duel starts. Because Achilles is not a powerhouse, he's a fluid fighter who moves between opponents quickly. And he has as much room to maneuver as he wants in this fight. Hector does put up an incredible fight here, even repeatedly blocking Achilles' signature move multiple times(the one where he jumps and tries to bring his sword down into your neck. He uses it frequently in the film). Also, Hector forgets his own advice from earlier: "Make him swing and miss, and he'll tire." By the end of the fight, he was breathing heavily. And in a last-ditch effort to win, he tried to dual wield despite the fact that he was clearly not proficient in that the fighting style (you can see this in his still wide sweeping motions with his exhaustion really kicking in at this point). In summary, Achilles won the second Hector stepped through the gate. He just had to wait for his moments to strike after letting Hector tire himself out.
Great analysis.
Well said and I couldn't have explained it better myself. I have always noticed the number of times that Hector avoids Achilles' favorite move multiple times, which is very impressive.
I think you're wrong about Achilles not being a powerhouse. You see multiple times in this fight (2:22 is my favourite example). But you also see him blocking Hector's wide swings with little effort rather than parrying them if you slow things down, not to mention stumbling Hector with the signature strike and shoving him backwards with one hand after Hector lumbers toward him exhausted. Another few examples that spring to mind is Achilles spear throw which has Hector SHOOK with how accurate it was from distance implying the strength needed to hurl a bronze spear with that force is "Impossible" at least for a man Achilles size. But also he straight up decapitates a statue with one swing in the same scene. Achilles is a demi-god so his physical capabilities are not on the same scale as the mortals in the film so he outmatched Hector in pretty much every capacity, martial ability, strength, agility, cardio, anything physical in general he had over on Hector. And despite all of this, Hector still put up a damn good fight and that is why it's so impressive from him.
@Andrew you make some fair points, but something to remember is that in this film Achilles is not a Demi-god. He's just a guy who is REALLY good at killing people. The film purposefully makes it seem that to the people of Greece and Troy characters like Achilles must be part god to be able to have the skills he does (the little boy who Achilles speaks with in the beginning of the film mentions some of the myths and stories that are being told about him). As for the fight, it is definitely fair to say that Achilles had Hector on the defensive for a majority of the fight, and that is what caused Hector to make his biggest mistake of switching up his style repeatedly. At first he purposefully goes defensive to see what Achilles is going to do, but as Achilles keeps pushing him back, that is what causes Hector to try and close the gap in order to prevent Achilles from being able to maneuver around him like he had been up till that point, but in doing so Hector was vastly exhausting himself, even if he had kept his shield I doubt he would have been able to hold it up with how his stamina was at the time. Also, while we don't know exactly how much the armor and shield of both Hector and Achilles weigh, we can probably guess that Hector's (at least his shield anyway) weighs a lot more than Achilles, which probably didn't help in terms of his movement and stamina
Put it as you want but Achilles is simply better than him, in every aspect. In a 1 vs 1 fairly, he had 0 chances of winning, not matter the strategy you wanna use.
One of the best hand to hand combat scenes I've ever seen.
Seeing this cinematic masterpiece in 60 fps is torture.
Sucks when you want both of them to win.
Nah I only wanted Hector to win. His character had more meaning
Only Npc's want Achillies to win in this fight. Hector is the real man of integrity. Achillies is a unlikable arrogant prick who fights for his personal glory. Hector fights for his family and his country.
What made this scene great was the fact that you're rooting for both of them.
im not rooting for achilles! i was rooting for hector!!!
In the movie version no sane person would root for Achilles, probably not even he himself.
@@BarelloSmith True bro. Even in the Troy book by Steven Fry, Hector looks like a cool guy while Achilles looks like a mass rapist
@@BarelloSmithI did and do.
I like that the original script of this movie was writen 3000 years ago, and in verse!
I don't recall rooting for anyone this much, who ends up losing. Killed me as a kid, still does. Great movie
Hector, a man of true chivalric integrity. To stand and know you cannot win, but to fight anyway; to right a wrong.
Hector was a best trained warrior but Achilles was a born warrior, the art of war is in his blood , in his DNA.This is what we understand in this fight sequence.
They really don’t make movies like this anymore.
Still one of my all time favorites
They make Barbie.

One of the best fighting moment in cinema history. Every second is epic
I watched this scene so many times but i dont know why every time when i saw this fight i always pray inside my heart please hector you can win this but Hector always loses this fight.
When i was a kid i wanted achilles to desttoy hector so badly. Now that i am much older I’ve grown to love snd respect hector’s character a lot and even cheer him on in this scene despite what happens jajaja
Hector is a good man but why would u want to vote for him. He killed achilles cousin, so achilles wants revenge
@@insultlk how many cousins has achilles killed?

This fight becomes so much better when you notices Hector almost killed Achilles when he swung at his heel but his foot armor deflected the blow. Ooooooo! 2:18
Good point!
Hector, you are the best man, father, husband, and a brother. You are too good to die :(
*Achilles the definition of Stand On Business*
"The fool who thought he killed Achilles"
Tis a badass line🤌🏾
I'm now watching this clip just because of my study purpose. This is an epic poem written by the great writer, Homer
Probably the best fight scene of all time
"There's No Pact between Men & LIONS" goated ‼🐐‼
For a brief moment Achilles had found his match even breathing hard towards the end a valiant effort by Hector but he knew his demise was near
Not found his match. He just realised he had to raise his level to finish the job. The final blow was unstoppable. Nobody was blocking that.
This scene is actually better without the music. The silence of just them fighting, swords slashing and can hear their breath makes it a lot more thrilling.
It was a decent warm up for Achilles this fight 😂. During the all fight you can see that he's dominating: faster, better movements, coordination, balance. He's dancing while fighting. Hector was decent but had no chance.
Hector was just fighting for his life he had no chance 😂😂😂
The Prince of Troy was merely a human being, Achilles was a Demi God. I give my respects to Prince Hector, he’ll be a legend among the Gods.
I love this fight so much. Subtle moments like Achiless restraining from attack to catch his breath at 3:28. Not with doubt, but with something he's never experienced before: realization that his adversary is actually good and dangerous, capable of things no other men he ever fought had been.
"Get up Prince of Troy! I will not let a rock steal my glory!" 😳 Geesh!
Am I the only one here who’s watched this movie *literally* over 500 times? What a master piece. Achilles: he slashed my armor and I took that person (MJ voice 😂)
I’m with you
As a kid i loved Achilles as a Grown man I supported Hector 😭
The best Fight Choreografie of all time!!!!! Pitt & Bana did an amazing Job!!!!!
Some of the best fight choreography I've ever seen
God I preferred the original soundtrack tho lol
Hector came out with the pleasantries thinking Achilles pulled up to talk😂😂😂.
2:20 this move is so 🔥
This never gets old...
The way Achilles fights is my favorite of all martial arts. It's athletic but not solely reliant on strength and speed. He seemed principled, like theory-in-effect, like a teacher's favorite student. You see how he placed his spear on the shield, or placed the shield behind his head, etc? There isn't a martial art like this taught in real life, unlike karate/aikido/taekwondo, and unlike mma/muaythai/kickboxing/boxing/wresting/judo, but they made it seem like that was the traditional martial art in Ancient Greece. I'm not sure how to explain it.
Achilles didn't have a style. He literally just freestyles his way through fights because of his amazing ability. There was no structure. Just did what he wanted. That's what really bothered Hector how unpredictable Achilles was all the time. Didn't know what direction he would attack from
@@raffarmenio6933 Ultimately it is a fictional fight, so there's no truth to be found beyond what the choreographer Simon Crane intended to portray in this scene.
@@sangsanprohmvitak3922thats not entirely true, they used old depictions and artifacts of some of those exotic poses he does and built them into the fight scene. like when he has the shield behind his head and sticks his sword out, that is from a real source
This fight is actually based of some traditional fighting techniques depicted in Greek pottery.
The small sequence at the start where hector and Achilles are using their spear one handed raised above their head? That’s 1:1 depiction to Greek pottery. That’s as close as you get to how we understand the Greeks fought. .
But the superman punches/stabs with the sword? The fancy fluid movement? Absolutely put in there for style.
A mix of fiction and non-fiction. A mix of myth and truth. A fantastic display of fight choreography.
@@evanverplank7242 I see, so it really is a "principled style" like I suspected
“There are no pacts between lions and men” savage!
despite the historical inaccuracies of the movie, that battle was very well choreographed
"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee"...
Heel*
Fun fact:Brad Pitt played in movies with two Hulk actors,he played here with Eric Bana,and played with Edward Norton in Fight club.
Also with Thalia AlGhul of The Dark Knight Rises in Allied.
Don't forget Spiderman's girlfriend in Interview with the vampire 🤣 I cannot believe it, really ?
Spears breaking like sticks, warriors spinning like ballerinas...
Eric Bana highly underrated actor !
Hector knew he was going to loose by his first words "i'll make a pact with you"
In the end, what happened like in the history and all... as it is just a story, I must say, the whole scene is just amazing and all the actors here makes me feel like, I'm sad from both sides. Not many movies or fight scenes compares. Cheers...
Good god. Thank you for the video without Priam going stoned and depressed every trade.
So incredible this version in 4k 60fps.❤
This isn’t the 60fps version. that’s on my other channel
@@ItzGoldfish1 Sorry, i'll watch the other version too.
I commented on this, I think it’s too smooth.
Hector knew he would die, which is why he gave a farewell to everyone and ensured his wife knew the way out of the city, but poor Hector being humiliated in front of all those who loved him by being dragged by the chariot. RIP
Right thought he didn’t deserve that
And entirely against the warrior code. There was no kleos (glory) attached to abusing the body of a worthy enemy slain in a fair fight.
What an epic scene
Great Fight Choreography
Hector is also a Great Warrior
But Achilles is on another Level as he is blessed by the gods
Thanks for posting this brotha.
We missed the ending. Achilles drags him with a rope from his horse.
Original soundtrack is wayyy better

I think one of the things I love about this fight scene (what's not to love right?) Is how neither one is the good or bad guy. Most fight scenes in film break down to you rooting for one or the other due to their moral persuasion. That's really not the case here. Achilles is the star of the show, and so for much of the film you kinda think of him as the "main character". However, you also get glimpses into Hector's life and see what an honorable, decent man he is. Arguably more so than Achilles. Yet, by the time you here, Achilles is also wounded and angry. The viewer sympathizes with this, but by this point they still see Hector as kind of the good guy. I like it because there's no hero or villain here. Just two men, with their own motivations and one singular goal...to be the one left standing!
“Get up, Prince of Troy! Get up!
I won’t have a stone take my glory!”
Hector was out of shape having likely not had to fight in serious combat in a long time. I believe he was roughly even in skill level but just not fit enough to stay sharp in a prolonged combat. Achilles on the other hand trained every day and that cardio ultimately was his key to victory. Hector got sloppy and wild towards the end.
Have you watched the movie? Hector fought multiple times before this fight. I think Achilles was just better. That has been shown through out the whole fight.
@@ItzGoldfish1 He'd been in one serious fight before Achilles, the one he killed his cousin. You cannot deny how quickly he seems to tire and become slopping after only a few minutes of sustained combat.
@@conflictdiamonds That’s because combat is tiresome. Even professional athletes, who train their whole life to fight, need small breaks within 3 minutes each time. And they fight nearly naked, these guys have all this armor on them. Achilles admits that Hector was the best he’d fought, and Hector was the only one to counter Achilles for this long. When Achilles looks to his completely clean armor getting scratched by Hector’s attack, that’s a little detail to point out that no one else ever got that close.
They were both getting tired by the end, Hector was just more afraid, Achilles was running on pure rage.
@conflictdiamonds Actually Hector was not even close at rusty especially if you compare it to the original Iliad. He was fighting all day and got into some really serious fights. He even challenged and wounded Aias the Telamon (a giant warrior of 2 m. Of height and raw muscle)
Hector did come in and out Troy to rest but he was fighting non stop. In fact when he came out to challenge the Greeks the Greek heroes didn't want to face him and drew straws to decide.
Achilles was definitely of equal if not slightly greater strength of Hector plus he was dipped into the water of immortality by his goddess mother Thetis making him invulnerable in battle. That means no matter what Hector did unless he knew about his heel he wouldn't win.
Achilles was probably younger too, making him have some great stamina plus he was fighting like he had nothing to lose (for he too knew he would die) which gave him raw strength of emotion plus his hatred
@@katerinaaqu Nah he was softened by a peaceful life.
I kinda wish Hector had won
Same I was rooting for him so hard even though I knew he would lose
Hector was real hero in this series. Family over being grumpy and egoistic like moral trash of Menelaos and Agammemnon. Achilles was also too arrogant and self centered and thought world would evolve around him.
If Achilles wasn't blessed as a baby, he would've easily died by Hector. Hector is better in every way as a true warrior while Achilles needed a river to win.
