Title: Clouds Of Arrows?
Post by: Craigmeister on December 07, 2012, 01:53:15 PM
My character at faire is that of an archer.  I love to shoot my longbow.  I'm looking for movies that show groups of archers launching "clouds" of arrows onto the enemy.  I've seen the great shots in "Henry V", "Braveheart" & "Timeline".  What other movies can I watch that have these shots?  (Yes, pun intended.)

"King Arthur" with Clive Owen has one scene with massed arrows, flaming.

Just about any movie with a siege scene in it.   I can't think of many movies about medieval times that don't include the requisite battle scene with flight(s) of arrows and/or a battering ram. :)

A couple that I can think of are Russell Crowe's Robin Hood and Kevin Costner's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Grammercy!  I haven't seen "Kingdom Of Heaven" in it's entirety since it was in the theatres but I have asked for it for Christmas.  I'll be checking out many of those other titles this winter to tide me over until faire season.

Make sure you get "The Directors Cut" of Kingdom of Heaven. Way better with a lot more.

Here is the blue ray directors cut version - http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Heaven-Directors-Cut-Blu-ray/dp/B000ICLRIE/ref=sr_1_2?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1356155652&sr=1-2&keywords=kingdom+of+heaven

Here is the non-blue ray directors cut - http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Heaven-Directors-Four-Disc-Special/dp/B000EHSVQ4/ref=sr_1_4?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1356155701&sr=1-4&keywords=kingdom+of+heaven
