Movie #4: Henry V
Another one that it's taken me a long time to get around to seeing, and all the more embarassing for having heard tales from the filming, courtesy of my friend P. Seemingly they shot the hail of arrows over the editing block wherein P was visiting her dad at work.
It's also a little strange to watch Brian Blessed acting as opposed to deliberately overacting, particularly given that armour. I vaguely remember hearing somewhere that he wore his Henry V armour to make Blackadder although the BBC added the extra hands on the shoulders, which amuses me. It would make a lot of sense; I doubt that BBC costumes have many sets of armour in that size.
