Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAll characters existed in real life, except John Falstaff. In Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, William Shakespeare based Falstaff loosely on the historical Sir John Oldcastle, a companion of Prince Henry. He renamed the character because of Oldcastle's powerful family.
- GoofsIn the opening shot, Hotspur tells a wounded enemy soldier that he is crawling in the wrong direction, using the wind as reference ("That wind you feel is coming from England. Scotland's that way."). However, the position of the setting Sun suggests that Hotspur pointed towards the South as he said "Scotland's that way." And, the smoke in the background belies that the wind is actually coming from behind the crawler.

Featured review
Epic
Yes it's not historically accurate blah blah but it's a damn fine piece of filmmaking. Great script, direction, performances, cinematography and a wonderful soundtrack. The casting is spot on. And though I've seen it a number of times now, I still get a knot in my stomach before the battle. THAT says something! Patterson's portrayal of the Dauphin could have so easily have been clownish, but it is tinged with menace and works so well. He chews up every scene he's in. This is very good cinema indeed.
