At first, I thought 'Why is everyone so young?' Then I realized that this film was 40 years ago. Yes...I AM that old lol!

The first time I saw this movie I thought the choreography was really bad, but then I realized what was actually going on. Brian De Bois-Guilbert could have won the fight, but he held back because his conscience was struggling with being the cause of Rebecca's death. At the moment he was about to kill Ivanhoe, Brian finally decided he couldn't let Rebecca die because of him, so he chose to let Ivanhoe kill him. That's why Robin Hood asks "why?"

Exactly!

One of my favourite all time books.

Best sword duel between two men in full-body chainmail can be found in Robin and Marian (1976), with Sean Connery as an aging Robin Hood. The battle is brief, bloody, and brutal between Robin and the Sheriff of Nottingham. I strongly recommend that film if you love this one.

One I think is at least as good is the one in the movie El Cid, between the kings' champions when they fight over who owns the city of Calahhora. It was a very realistic depiction of such fights because it was extremely brutal, obviously physically taxing to the ultimate, and *short*. When you're bundled up inside that armor and the padding cloth under it, you get badly overheated pretty quickly, so fights had to be over in the shortest time possible. Another great fight scene is the last part of Ridley Scott's 2021 film The Last Duel.

Check out the 1952 version of this duel with Robert Taylor and George Sanders.

Un 🏛️ de la literatura universal y del 🎥 clásico

Boris-Gielbert was in a classic Lose-Lose situation. If he killed Ivanhoe, then the woman he loved would have been burned alive and would have to live his entire life knowing he was the cause of her death. If he lost Rebecca would have been freed but he would be dead. And in either case she was in love with Ivanhoe not Bois-Gielbert. (Poor Rebecca, Ivanhoe was in love with Rowena, not her). So, after he knocked Ivanhoe off of his horse Bois-Gielbert dismounted himself - he did NOT have to do that - and engaged Ivanhoe on the ground with swords. He convincingly beat Ivanhoe one-on-one. That is indisputable. Then he let Ivanhoe kill him after locking eyes with Rebecca one last time. Boris-Gielbert gave up his life that Rebecca might live, but he proved to Ivanhoe which one of them was the better knight. BUT(!) could he have beaten Ivanhoe if Ivanhoe was not still weak and sick? We the audience are left to wonder….

@christopherlyons5900

They never show the ending from the novel, where Bois-Gielbert just collapses from the conflict created by his desire for Rebecca. Neither man actually wins the fight. I prefer the duel from the Robert Taylor movie, where Ivanhoe outsmarts his foe, and kills him. There, Boris-Gielbert is more along the lines of "If I can't have her no one will." Well, he's played by George Sanders. His characters were rarely what you'd call chivalrous. ;) I can't say I care for this one.

Bois-Guilbert

Great book (Sir Walter Scott who also wrote 'The Talisman') and 2 films (1952 and 1982)

In the book Gielbert knocks Ivanhoe off his horse at the first pass. Ivanhoe merely touches Gielbert's shield, yet Gielbert falls off his horse and remains lying on the ground. When they go to him and lift up his visor, he is dead. Gielbert had some good in him that was struggling to get out. In the book Rebecca is shown to be very devout and to be continually praying to God. Gielbert may have died as a consequence of God's intervention.

А тут устроили избиение младенца, Айвенго ещё от ранения не отошёл, тамплиеры его бы делал как бог черепаху. Хоть бы подумали создатели фильма, ведь Вальтер Скотт не зря придумал такой финал, и что он хотел этим показать.

we don't see the three leopards on the royal standard very often. this 3rd leopard was added by Richard but quickly deleted.

Can't believe how funny some of the old historic movies were. I really thought at one point that mail and armor was pointless, just like another piece of clothing. I really thought as a kid growing up during the 1980s that you could slash through metal.

Hussey does a much better job of conveying Rebecca's strength of character, which is what makes de Bois-Guilbert fall in love with her. Also, neither in the book nor in the 1982 version does he actually assault her (Sanders grabs her and kisses her). Another thing that bothers me is that one minute Ivanhoe is still weak from his wound, and the outlaws take him to Sherwood to recover, and seemingly on the following day he's apparently fit enough to fight in Front-de-Bouef's castle - a big change from the book, in which he has also been brought there and is tended by Rebecca, as In the 1982 version.
