I didn't like the scene where the hero's spear only scratches the cheek of the villain. I saw that film a *very* long time ago. The cheek slice scene is still memorable though, but not in a good way!  |

I dunno... Based on a true myth/historic event, but then they added these weird sci-fi beast things. I remember when it first came out, they showed it to soldiers in Iraq during the gulf war. Don't know why... |

It is not meant to be accurate within hystoric storytelling. The entire story is a narration to
inspire soldiers on a battlefield. The narrator paints a vivid picture filled with exaggeration and poetry and the filmmakers use these words and put them up right on the screen. Enemy soldiers are turned in to demonic hordes, war elephants become giant monsters, and the heroes become the most noble and flawless characters ever put on screen.
"come and get them" and "we will fight in the shade" lines are supposedly direct quotes that were said at the battle according to historical records though. |
