If you haven’t seen it yet, watch CHOPPER released in 2000.
It’s based on a true story and it’s Eric Bana’s best performance in my opinion.
Dude, you should have uploaded the original version with the original score. This directors cut version is terrible. ruins the scene.
Please sir can you teach me how to upload movies clip?
I wouldn't watch that low budget, trash, "true story" wannabe tough guy british bullshit if someone paid me $1000 ..
Thanks have to check that out

Hector knew and believed the stories about Achilles and still had the balls to fight him 1v1 in single combat. Bravery isn’t enough of a word.
i was always rooting for hector. he was fighting for and achilles was fighting against. I was hoping there was a way hector could kill achilles such as thinking about his loved ones his wife father brother and son and of course troy since he is the future king. I already imagine how he would have changed the outcome
everyone cheers for hector tbh. great scene either way even if hector lost the fight was insane@@shwheat6315
@shwheat6315 if hector had won the duel, he would have won the war then and there. The Greek soldiers had such faith in their greatest warrior, and if he had been slain by their enemy's greatest warrior, it would have sapped all of their morale to fight. In the movie, they considered leaving just because Achilles and his men hadn't joined the attack on the city.
Stupidity is more apt
Yeah I would’ve called for the archers 🤷🏾♂️
"Get up, Prince of Troy. I won't let a stone take my glory"
Badass Line in this movie 👊🏼
What does that mean, explain please
@@Vendeta552 you much watch the part when hector kill achilles cousin. Then you will find the answer.
@@LifeInAfricaVlog I watched it and I still don't get the reference to stone😄😄
@@LifeInAfricaVlog l think it's in reference to Hector tripping on a stone during this fight. He tripped over a stone
There are no pacts between Lyons & men
Still almost 20 years later it's amazing how well this was choreographed. Their moves were believable, though Achilles' perfection is close to superhuman. But without having to stray outside of reality, it was one of the best movie duels ever.
@Han Solo I'm with you there, I preferred the original duel theme
Да, хореографы были великолепны. Жаль сценаристы не были...
Achilles' perfection is indeed superhuman: for he is a demi-god (his mother was a minor goddess I believe).
Even so, Hector's defeat may not have been a foregone conclusion: it's not inconceivable that the most skillful human warrior in the world might occasionally defeat a demi-god. And Achilles did have one weakness (his heel), though Hector probably didn't know that.
Agreed, I remember watching this thinking how Achilles came off looking 'almost' superhuman, whereas they could've made it look over-the-top by making him artificially overpowered.
Sangre por Sangre
Revenge doesn't reason with logic. Hector was the best opponent Achilles ever faced. The coward Paris caused all this mess and downfall
Who could be "blamed" for the Trojan War has been debated for over two thousand years. In my opinion, the goddess of discord Eris is the ultimate cause
This was Helen fault AND Paris but definitely more pairs than Helen 💯🗣️
Actually it was Memnon.. He was the best opponent Achilles ever faced. If you don't believe me, do some research.
Nah dude, they should have invited Eris to Peleo's wedding
What is Paris s mistake Helen came with him as she liked him 🤷🏻♂️
Menelaus was idiot, will you make a war against country and kill lakhs of innocents just because your wife doesn’t like you and went with someone else she likes
Respect to the cameraman for going back in time to get us this wonderful footage.
@@ang.etrav747 yes
,👍👍
Who would have thought Achilles would have looked exactly like Brad pitt
People should go back in time to use there dentist also. Wow amazingly white teeth.
@@ang.etrav747 it's funny. it does not get old.
I always liked Hector, he was a good and honest man.
I always hated paris .
But he killed menelaus to protect his coward brother
@@nahualollin61 That's because he loved his brother, even though his brother brought upon war on Troy with his foolish deeds.
no. he let his brother do morally awfull things and then clean up after him.
he is a litteral fixer in crime business. Yet he want to act like he is good and honest because he *clean* stuff.
When he killed achille cousin, he didn't hesitate to take the chance and fight him right there, middle of bodies without checking if it was really him.
he killed Menalus by suprised when he could have kick him back. SO not only he broke and honourable duel, but even assassinated the opponent who had no animosity against him.
Sure paris is worst, but overall, Troy is full fo people who smell their own fart behind the wall. Hense why the horse works, they are all so inflatuated with themselves it's awfull
a true born king and leader
Hector knew Achilles will finish him off. Just hear the words he is uttering. Act brave even if you fear your enemy.
The god warn hector using his dream but hector choose to fight even if he will be killed by achilles.he fight achilles for the honor of troy.

There was literally no one else in the world that could’ve played Achilles. The work Brad Pitt put into this performance was incredible.
The physical acting and stuntwork definitely, but surely you're choosing to ignore his accent? 😂
And his crappy speech before the beach landing. Writers didn't help either
This could have been played in modern times by Chris Hemsworth to perfection. If Jude Law had been taller, bulked up, and grew his hair out, he would have been a perfect Achilles and certainly would have had a much more convincing accent than Pitt.
@@billywashere6965 Hemsworth? Puke. Overused in such roles, that he no longer feels fresh. He's in too many movies like this.
@@billywashere6965 Jude Law is no Prime-Brad Pitt, not genetically. Jude Law is a mighty fine actor, but does not have Brad Pitts bone-structure or muscle tie-ins and wouldn't have his Achillean build even with PEDs.
Yoo no matter what, so much respect for Hector.. fighting a demigod... going toe to toe with him and just only a man. Achillis knew he killed a good man that day.
ahiles was not a demigod
@@keller0315 uhh. Yes he was. But sure.. ill entertain your opinion.. proceed plz..
@@moisessanchez2365 no he wasnt he just a human
Well yeah, but then he still needs some time to think things over. Dragging Hector's body and not giving him a proper burial would have ruined everything. His own men could have turned against him and killed him for that, in order to appease the gods. That's why people killed witches, although Monty Python's point is valid.
@@keller0315 he was...his mother was a nimf..sort of a little spirit(god) of water..so he wasnt a big demigod...but not human
ultimately, this is the best portrayal of hector in any retelling of the Iliad. Other versions have him dying super early with a spear to the throat while fleeing on a chariot. Other versions having him running until he gains the courage to fight. He is always written to be fearful and a bit cowardly, though a good man. This version, he is obviously afraid, but he isn't a coward, and is probably the most dignified character in the film besides Priam. This is basically the best Hector, a man who is almost on par with Achilles, a demi-god. I thought Ajax died too quickly though lol.
I completely agree with your opinion on how he’s portrayed in this film. Based off everything I’ve read. I feel like the story of him running until he had to fight, seems most likely. Who knows tho.
Yeah it would have been cooler to see Ajax kill more Trojans. And it would have been cool to see an actor worthy of the role of Hector.. The script was great, and Brad couldn't have played it any better. But my main point is I agree, Hector could have been given a lot more credit. "Oh dang the alien gods of Olympus have landed! Go out and kill them after you wash the dishes Hector." Yeah, too much of that vibe. But Brad was great. Epic. Which makes sense in a weird way. The world-class actor vs. the amateur. Etc. The scene has layers. Watched it about 10 times to figure out how Achilles got the spear end he stabbed Hector with (he grabbed it from him right?). Great combat sequence though from both actors.
@@chad9017 No he broke hectors spear in the beginning. It was Achilles spear he tosses it to the ground when hector trips if if I remember correctly. Then when hector has two swords Achilles picks his spear back up an snaps it in half before stabbing hector with it.
@@chad9017 you didn’t like Bana? Hmm lots of people online seem to think he was well casted
In the Iliad this scene is pretty anti climactic. Hector does in fact run from Achilles and is killed almost immediately upon turning to fight
The interesting part is when the king comes to talk to Achilles you get the sense that Achilles could have lived in that kingdom and been truly happy with the king he respected, a warrior as a brother, and the woman he loved. Unfortunately, his quest for glory was his downfall.
That was his programming so
mate, are you daft? "THAT IS WHY NO ONE WILL REMEMBER YOUR NAME".
Well in another life perhaps, but he was also slave of his own honor. All greeks declared an oath to go an rescue Helen if she was taken by someone else. Both of theme are the same kind of warrior on the inside. Both seek to protect what they love and fight for what they wanted. Aquilles fought so that he could be remembered and Hector fought so that Troy was safe, even if his brother doomed all the city from the beginning. Both deserved to live but only one could come un top.
Yes, because he fought for an asshole King that he despised! It's like that in real life as you are loyal to people or work for people you despise that treat you bad when they're much better people or jobs out there that you just haven't come across. It's truly a misfortunate type of thing because he truly could have joined the Trojans and married their cousin and welcomed in the family as a brother. The Trojans would have had the best 2 athletes on the planet in their service, so, all the other countries would have feared them. Lol
Achilles was gay though and Patroclus was his lover.
The fact Achilles was demonstrably ambidexterous is a horrific advantage. People practice against others who are like them so they are crossing blades naturally. But against someone who can attack or defend with either hand...horrific.
In the Iliad, Achilles is described as being incredibly fast, both in fighting and running, as well as being quick to anger. Homer said he was so fast that he could outrun Death.
@@conorbowen3360 Outrun death but not an arrow. TIL Death is slower than an arrow. :D
@@giftedmonster5293 Well, Death usually follows an arrow so you're not wrong :)
In reality, natural ambidextrous people have a slower responding time in term of dueling because their brain is often confused with which hand should respond.
@@PeacePham1991 not unless you're trained for obvious reasons, looks at skills such as piano, it trains very separate actions to a detailed level on both hands
When Hector died, that was the fall of Troy. Everybody except for Hector was a fool from that house. The father the uncle causing the younger brother, and empire built upon the heads of fools. Minus the great noble honorable Hector.
Eh. I mean, taking his p🐈⬛️ssy of a brother's place & sacrificing himself was kind of foolish. He died leaving his family and an entire kingdom to be ran by fools. The only smart one was the baby 🤣
@@c_kaoi7660 He had to fight out of honour.
They actually held off the Greeks and only met their downfall because of the Trojan Horse.
Who is the uncle? No reference to him in the film.
The rightful name of this movie shd have been
THE FOOLISH KING
Brad Pitts athleticism is truly remarkable.
Even in the movie 7 years in Tibet,his climbing skillset looked very arduous.
I have yet to watch 7 years in Tibet, is it worth the look?
@@joshrabatin It is a based on a true story.It also captures the importance of certain values-self sacrifice,determination-friendships & the appearance of a very young but scruffy Brad Pitt.Ya it should be in any personal collection of movies.

It’s the first time you see Achilles actually a little winded, it’s a testament to how great a fighter Hector was also…love the way he steals the broken spear out of Hectors hand, didn’t see that in the theatre…thanks for the clip, watched it a half dozen times
now….at least
That part never gets old...
Here the actual lion was Hector! He knew who he was fighting and he fought bravely. And that is lion's attitude.

Best part of this whole scene is that paris gets to see what a real duel looks like
😂😂😂😂😂fact yooo
This and Revenge of the Sith’s Anakin and Obi-Wan fight are probably the two best choreographed fights in film. The fact that all the actors performed it themselves makes it even better
I’d put the duel between the dread pirate roberts and inigo Montoya in the princess bride up there as well
He was flexing on him the whole fight
Sorry but he is not in heaven, he is in hell. Listen or play rock, drugs adictions, take the name of God in vain, sex before get married also known as fornication, drink beer an other beers etc are sins, and sins send people to hell but obeying the bible You can make heaven!Good news!
• Did you know that there is someone who died for you on a cross so that you could achieve eternal life?
• Did you know that you only have two paths after death?
The Bible tells us in the book of Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." and in Ecclesiastes 7:20 it says "Certainly there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins."
This tells us that all human beings are sinners (we all break God's law), therefore, we deserve God's punishment for going against his word, but the good news is that through his son Jesus Christ we can obtain forgiveness of sins:
John 3:16
[16] For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.
Romans 5: 8
[8] But God shows his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God died on a cross for all humanity more than 2000 years ago, rising on the third day and paying a high price for our sins, since in the Bible it tells us that there is a heaven after death but also There is a hell and the kingdom of heaven can only be reached through Jesus Christ through the forgiveness of sins, it is not through any virgin or any saint, or by any other means, there is only one mediator between God and men, so if you want to go to heaven you have to repent of your sins (fornication, lies, etc.) and follow Jesus (obey biblical commandments). Christ is coming soon! Judgments come to earth (asteroids, earthquakes, etc.), seek God who has great things for your life. God bless you.
Prayer: Prayer: dear Lord Jesus forgive my sins, I know that I am a sinner and I need your forgiveness, enter my heart and guide me towards eternal life, thank you. Amen
I know right

Freshy freshy off the sidelines Achillies was. No one can say that wouldnt have been a factor. I dont think Hector was tired from fighting 1 man. More like he was tired from fighting for days already. What it looked like to me, anyways. I think thats the only reason Achillies won.
For me it is one of the best fights ever filmed.
Achilles is the best fighter of his era but Hector is well known too. However when the fight starts even someone unfamiliar with fighting realizes after a few moves that Achilles is superior. Hector manages to keep up for a short while but he's at the very limit of his strength and skills and has to go all in while we see Achilles calmly attack and defend, waiting for the right moment to land the killing blow.
Hector puts on a good fight though - some instant kill techniques of Achilles that he used earlier in the movie do get blocked by Hector so as the fight goes on even Achilles starts to struggle a little bit and even comes close to being wounded - a completely new experience for him which pisses him off.
What's even better though is the aftermath of the fight when Priam sneaks into the Greek camp to retrieve his dead son. Achilles realizes that his entire life is questionable because it means the death of good men, just so that his name should be remembered.
Hector is a commander and leader while Achilles has a killer instinct. that is the difference between them. Achilles fight for vengeance and Hector fight to defend.
"Won't let a stone take my glory"
God, the choreography in this fight is fantastic! I can't imagine the amount of work and time that must have went into this...both of these guys should be proud of this scene!
I felt so bad for Hector. He didn't deserve death like that
Remember about Patroclus
@@stardust4489 what about him? He was a fool.
@@stardust4489 a complete fool he was and hector didnt drag his dead body
But how would he deserve to die? Just curious..
@@EuTuFriska you're either a troll or not that bright.
Two great actors, it's a real shame we don't see enough of Eric Bana
He's my favorite Hulk.
One of the most intense movie fights I've ever seen in a movie theater. The build up was tense.
I really like how Achilles uses his shield, not to protect his front so much but his back and to assist in his sword thrusts
I think that was more him showing off than anything
He was mocking Hector by doing that. The shield + sword combo is amazing in one on one combat. Not using the shield for what it is designed for would be practically suicide in a real fight against a skilled opponent.
So Achilles was really just saying "i'm so much better than you, i can have a shield on my back to slow me down, not use it at all and still dominate you".
He was definitely using it to keep the sun out of his eyes
"There are no pacts between Lions and men". Best battle in cinema history.
Imagine if they fought together instead of with each other. They would be unstoppable. Hector was a good dude and he deserved to live
Homeboy got wasted and then Achilles drag his body back to his camp. Man that shit went hard🔥
yeah, that's a hard scene to look at because he just totally disrespected the King, Hector's father and the city of Troy by dragging a Prince through dirt like that. It's just F'ed up, but he was mad because Hector killed his cousin even though it was an accident because Hector thought it was him.
@@tubucoco But he shows great remorse afterwards, that was moving.
For anyone who doesn't know, Achilles is not only the greatest warrior of his time, but he is s demi god. His mother is a water nymph or w.e so she is a low tier goddess. His father was human. So his physical stats far outclassed everyone because of his demi god status. He's basically a lower version of Hercules. Both demi gods but one has a father in zues and the other has a low tier goddess.
But the one that makes Achilles much more dangerous is that his mother dipped him into the river Styx, which makes his body invulnerable to normal weapons (except his heels, where his mother hold him when she dipped him)
Who cares still a badass scene lmao
@@paogaming4552i care, you weirdo. No one said the scene isnt badass, what are you even talking about?
@@Kurodo222 you are overreacting also accusing me as a weirdo right away, I think you are bipolar with no friends my reaction was sarcastic and it affected you that much?
I hadn't noticed before that Achille grabs the spear right out of Hector's hand @4:17, before sticking it in his shoulder. It's such a slick move :) Brilliant choreography.
And if you watch closely he attempted it twice he missed it the first time and then the second time he grabbed it
@@kingnaim2473 good eye!
No he didn’t? He grabbed at it once and got it? Wtf are you watching
@@petercoundrelis4495 I think he means during the sequence at 4:06 he sort of makes a move like he's trying to take the spear. Debatable for sure.
@@joestarships not debatable at all he swiped his hand away while moving backwards
I don't have words for how much I love the choreography of this scene...Don't have words for how much I love the entire movie. This is just top shelf shit all the way around the board. Thanks for sharing the scene.
A great movie that was underrated because the timing was bad as Gladiator with Russell Crowe came out before it and cleaned up at the Oscars. Had this been in reverse it would have been Troy and Brad Pitt taking home the Oscars.
There are 3 things that make me love so much this scene.
First, they show how tiresome is fighting and dueling.
Second, they showed how efficient armor is, even in this age.
And lastly, they've used the Gladius correctly - as a piercing weapon, not a cutting/slashing one.
A fighter vs a naturally gifted warrior. ✝🛡✝
Anyone else watch this move knowing the outcome but still hoping beyond hope that Troy would win and hector would survive
I was really hoping Hector would have won. But, this was a lie in my head. He fought against someone that isn't afraid of dying.
Troy did get a revenge from my fellow greeks, since Rome was founded by the refugies as the myth goes....
no because he killed the cousin who was just a kid he deserved his death
and if it makes anyone mad watch the clip over and over Achilles gutted him right in front of his wife and home beat him like he was a baby compared to him over and over gutted
If Paris and Hector swapped so that Hector lived, that would have been better. It's all because of Paris that the war happened.
This move is still a masterpiece after all these years.
I fell in love with the character of hector
This movie was full of emotions for me
I loved hector so much so i didn't feel pity when Achilles was killed by paris
The man behind hector is skillful & has that aura of loveable babyface
The fight coordinator deserves applause 👏
Great battle scene, showing how tiring fighting is, how much better Achilles was. I think they still did too many cuts, but it's better than most other duels.
You tire fast in a fight, the great Bruce Lee showed that to people which is why he kept his body in such phenomenal shape. He spoke about fights in which he should have finished off opponents much faster, but wasn't in tip-top shape and so it took longer than it should have.
That was one take? Where were the cuts you insecure peasant
Yea the blonde guy have better stamina
hector put most of his points into charisma while achilles put them on stamina
@@apocratos0174 ... if you know what I mean 😉
When he said "get up Prince of Troy I won't let a stone take my glory" it was a real fight.
Hector after he fell the first time would be like: ok Achilles you have made your point... archers...........
🤣🤣🤣
That would have been iconic
Don't think that would've worked, he had a shield and a half-god body that's invulnerable to harm (except the heel)
@@9ielts probably true but that would surely provide enough distraction for him to run back to the city gates..
Actual fight of stamina, endurance and speed. Achilles had upper hand and dominated entire fight.
He did tire in this fight though, you could see him breathing hard. He knew Hector was an worthy opponent.
I saw this movie probably 20 times on my computer and read the dialogue script many times.. it was available in pdf back then.. it's been 15 years and very nostalgic feeling watching it today.. i love this movie.
The only bad dialogue in the movie was Pitt's Achilles calling King (whatever his name was, I forget right now), but calling him a "sack of wine". Lol I knew they were referring to a sack of shit, but people didn't talk like that in ancient times, so, they had to come up with somethin I guess. Lol
@@tubucoco They actually did, I read the Iliad and I was in awe Achilles roasted him calling him "a fat sack of wine" and "dogfaced"
"Get up prince of Troy, I won't let a stone take away my glory" - Talk about fair fight, I'm not gonna stab or kick you while you're down. Get up and I'm gonna beat you fair and square. This fight goes to show that Achilles could've kill him when they met at the temple, but since there aren't any witnesses to see the battle, Achilles let him go.
Hell of a battle considering Hector held his own against Achillies, who was completely invincible at the time(no ones knew about his heel yet). The only reason Paris killed Achillies was because Apollo guided the arrow. I love this scene.
I'm not a fan of them but Brad Pitt and Eric Bana were great in these movies.
"Get up, I won't let a stone take my glory"
That's cold!
People forget not only Achilles was a Demi-god but also plunged within the river Styx making him near invulnerable to anything except his ankle, the longer he fights the more ferocious he fights, its shown here and the beach battle not only that he was the son of a prince making him a warlord and has had training & experience very few have with an unorthodox fighting style aswell. Those are a few things I’d like to point out.
And Achilles is the great grandson of Zeus.
All but his heels because his mother held them to dip him in the river Styx. That is why they are called the achilles tendon.
"There are no pacts between lions and men"
The Lion doesn't concern with an opinion of sheep
One of the slickest one on one fights in cinema.
Eric Bana is so underrated and his acting is impressive
Choreography here was fantastic. All very "believable" yet Achilles can't be touched. Plus Pitt is perfect for the role
This fight scene is a perfect example of how great people loss when taking up the fight for a true Snake 🐍. Paris was a snake and the Great Hector died for it
God imagine walking out those gates and knowing this will be your last hour on this earth ?
Yeah and those powerful words of perhaps the entire movie followed after he came out to face him. "You'll wonder through the underworld tonight without sight, without ears or a tongue. Blind, deaf, and dumb. And they'll look at you and say, there goes Hector the fool that thought he killed Achilles". Lol
Loved this duel, I liked how they edited out the 3 day race around the walls of Troy that the Iliad says they had.
This is the best part of the movie. Great fight between these two
In actual illiad Hector and Achilles were well matched:
"Lion roared and Tiger charged
Despite their might and power
Slothlike slow they looked, for
well matched in skill and experience
well matched in bravery and valor"
Well they are well matched here as well, so what’s your point? :DDD
Just realised, I wrote 3 “wells” and all have different meanings.

Achilles was a better warrior
But Hector was a better man
18 years ago, but still watching it again and again
Hector breaking the spear and switching to sword was superb !
Achilles blocking Hectors low slash attack with his shin guard was even better
I remember in the BTS, the fight choreographer gave Achilles a more "elegant" fighting style like a martial art. Whereas Hector was more of a brawler, where it was more about the experience than technique.
Hector in the first fight should have known he wasn't facing the true Achilles because the cousin was too clumsy. Though he knew some of Achille's moves he was nowhere near as skilled as the true Achilles. When the helmet was removed and the cousin was revealed Hector knew right then he was a dead man walking as the fear came over his face.
Hector and Achilles should’ve have their own solo movies before this movie , that would’ve been epic
Hector is really the Protagonist for me :(
one of the most iconic duel
This movie had some fantastic choreography.
“I won’t let a stone take my glory” one of the coldest lines ever
It’s a story...it’s a myth....it’s a Movie. And a great fight sequence. Very good movie.
Something I liked quite a bit, you can tell that Hector had zero experience fighting with 2 edged weapons. Instead of using them in concert together to attack, which would have ended the fight very quickly might I add, he uses them one at a time. The moment that Achilles gets his hands on the spear, he uses them both together, which results in the spear in Hectors chest. Clearly, he knew how to fight with two edged weapons where his opponent didnt.
Achilles, the greatest warrior the world has ever seen.
This should be how war be resolved - just the rulers or leaders fighting against themselves - and don't drag countless innocent men to their demise.
This guy killed the scene with the background music
I always felt that Achilles wasn't just a bit better here but leagues better. He is toying with Hector. He could finish this at any point but only decides to do so when Hector lands a blow.
Plus Hector's clean strike to his armored heel is a nice touch.
Far above Hector, remember that Achilles was a demigod, not exactly a fair fight 😂 but he managed to get Achilles a bit winded, which is an amazing accomplishment since Hector was a man. Worthy opponent, but only had, like they say in boxing a punchers chance
I remember Brad Pitt getting very pissed off at the premiere of his movie when a female reporter keep asking him, "Why were you always half naked in the movie"?
“Get up ‘Prince of Troy’, I won’t let a stone take my glory” 😮💨🥴🔥
One of the GREATEST cinematic 🎬 fight scenes of ALL TIME ‼️
Incredible stellar performance from both actors of course Achilles was the master of war of close combat Bradd Pitt performed this like a martial arts expert death or glory all or nothing what a scene.
I'd love to see an Odyessy movie based off this...
To win a fight you need to be physically strong as well as mentally, hector has the guilty feeling that he killed a small boy mistakenly
Yes he’s already had that guilt trap that he needed to die for what he did. Sometimes, it’s good to be bad, no whatsoever conscience or guilt feeling . Such a great movie
Imagine a king who fights their own battles , wouldn't that be a sight.
Back when greatness actually meant something.
My guy Hector was a fighter but like Bane said "Peace has cost you your strength" "Victory has defeated you" Achilles on the other hand, was in the mix, kept up on his training as seen in the movie. Hector looked like a boxer in the 8 round out of gas, flopping everywhere smh.. Trojans took a hit that day my boy!!
I have watched this many times and I never realized that Hector could have won. Hector fought knowing and believing he was going to die. He was really sloppy fighting here. If only he would have canceled that dream and would have fought believing he was going to beat this demi god.
Yes he was fighting sloppy. He was already defeated mentally
The dual was an epic scene in the movie .
The soundtrack is epic asf
Difference between Achilles and Hector
Achilles will be a hero for ever in the earth but slave in the hell.
Hector humiliated princ with death in fight, but in peace in Paradise.
Could be me but Achilles, for as great a warrior as he was, never struck me as particularly heroic. Yes, he was loved by his men and he loved them and yes, he exemplified military virtues. But Achilles was part of an invading army and Hector was fighting to protect it....and died for it.
That's what happens when your brothers a fuck Boi someone gotta pay and it ain't gonna be him
He was forced to go to war. He even went into hiding with the help of his mom, dressed as a woman lmao. He didn't want to fight.
@@heirloompeace401 Point taken. Didn't know that part of the story.
in Greek myths heroism doesn't always translate into good like how we see it in modern times. many Greek heroes had flaws that made them downright despicable by today's standards. it's just that they were heroes cause they did great things. hope this helps😁
@@DoroteoVilla Even in the movie you can notice the tension in the greek invasion forces between the myrmidons and the king, the king wanted Achilles and the warriors to fight for him but then again he didn't want them to overperform and get all the glory, this led to disagreements between the 2 and that's why Achilles was furious with how Menelaus acted.
Amazing piece of cinema. No rubbish or CGI.
I swear, Eric Bana is such a boss
O vencedor do duelo, parece ser mais preparado e determinado......
Dos grandes guerreros no me canso de ver esas escenas grandes actores Dios los bendiga bellos los dos😘
i’m quit amazed the actor who plays hector in every movies did not play in this one it would be fun to see him as hector😂😂😂
Most epic battle movie...ever🎉🎉🎉
And this war Sean...most most epic❤❤❤
classic #1 vs #2 battle. Hector deserves better than the myths and movies give him. He was the best warrior on the planet, besides this one man.
Second place is first loser.
The Final killing blow was Epic for me,, loved hector tho ❤️
THOUSANDS of years later the name still stands RX®
