  &quot;Fire the trebuchet!!&quot; <br>&quot;Wait, wait, wait! We surrender.&quot;<br>&quot;That&apos;s great, but it took us 3 months to make it, so we&apos;re gonna use it.&quot;<br>One of the most real moments in a historical movie I&apos;ve ever seen

  As a Scot and a Fifer I can fully empathise with the horse that would rather throw itself off a cliff than go to Kinghorn

  I would watch a 5-10 hour Robert The Bruce historically accurate series starring Chris Pine and Florence Pugh. &nbsp; No question.

  Honestly The War Wolf sounds like a Monty Python bit.<br><br>&quot;We surrender!&quot;<br><br>&quot;Aaaw, you&apos;ve got to be joking! We spent three months on this trebuchet. Do you know how many lead roof tiles--? No, you know what? Sod this. You stay right there and we&apos;ll fire this at you regardless.&quot;<br><br>&quot;But we surrender!&quot;<br><br>&quot;You should have thought of that two months ago!&quot;

  Greek fire is 50 percent Greek and 50 percent fire.

  So love Aaron Taylor-Johnson&apos;s depiction of James Douglas in this film. Such an underrated actor

  When Monty Python is more historically accurate than many &apos;historical&apos; movies. &quot;He must be a king.&quot; &quot;Why?&quot; &quot;He hasn&apos;t got shit all over him&quot;

  I worked on Outlaw King for 5 months. Armour was slowly added to our costumes after each battle, suggesting it was looted.<br>There is a 4 hour cut including the spider in the cave scene. There were talks of making a mini series but sadly, I don&apos;t think we&apos;ll ever see it.<br>Great video

  Fun note that the film leaves out that I just remembered: Robert&apos;s younger brother, Edward (called Ewan in the film), later attempted to claim the title of High King of Ireland at his brother&apos;s behest and he held the title for a bit before he was killed in battle by Anglo-Irish forces. That makes him the last person to hold the title of Irish high king.

  Outlaw king was a massive improvement on braveheart. Indeed it had some errors, but overall it was a decent film. I really hope to see Das Boot reviewed someday.

  Just a quick note for History Buffs! The popular yellow dye for clothes at that time didn’t come from horse pee, but from weld, an extremely common weed. Stale urine was a common mordant (dye fixative) but it DID NOT color the fabric! Between weld (yellow), woad (another common weed that produced vivid blue and even certain shades of green with copper added) and madder (also a weed, whose roots produce bright reds and pinks), medieval Scotland was extremely brightly colored 🌈<br>Sincerely,<br>A historical dye nerd 😅

  My favourite thing as a Scotsman is they used actual scottish castles and scottish Highlands which help with the magic and beauty of the landscape
