Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

An embarrassment? hock: :roll:

I bought the DVD. Why not? The package said, "The true story of the historical Arthur."
Sure. Guinevere was a Pict wearing a bikini. We had Sarmatians with French names. And Tristan, a Pictish name, was a Hun. All the bows were Scythian, except a nearly-correct Grozer reproduction at the end of the movie. (The bow must have arrived too late.) They turned Bishop Germanus, a historical saint, into a jerk. And the Saxons were so nasty they could have been from Uranus... or someplace close to it.

The movie gave us a real good idea of how low Hollywood has sunk in recreating "history." :x

As for their cavalry, I thought they were fairly close. Both horseman and horse were overdressed, and too many Sarmatian dracos were flying. But the jist was there, simply overblown. Strangely enough, Excalibur was reasonably accurate... as opposed to the Excalibur in The Last Legion, which looked like a chintz de crepe aluminum jobbie created in post-WWII Japan.
