Now that the movie is out, you'll know that Falstaff's helmet was in his hands, he wore it during the battle. The King is not in his proper armour because he is not on the battlefield, just watching the catapults. He just wanted to be comfortable, poor kid.

I like this evaluation a lot, but Sir John (The guy with just the mail coif) actually puts on a helmet shortly before battle.

If you think knights in the 15th century jumped off a boat in full armour, you need to get off your computer. Knights would only put on full plate before a battle . And a landing party would be full of light Infantrymen. With full male and probably a breast plate if you were rich enough to buy another plate The whole thing about English long bows was the fact they were hitting the target from much much further and if you ever spend a couple of hours shooting a bow and arrow and you get pretty actuate shooting in the air. So these guys who were required by law to practice once a week would be like bloody snipers at any distance. .

Just curious, as i remember, in battle of Agincourt english archers were deployed on two sides, that means they had to shoot "in the air" so that arrows would hit fast moving knights who did not directly come to them but at an angle like 45 degree. Heavy cavalry charged with very few columns and between 2 columns, there was a considerable distance. How did english archer train to shoot like that. I guess in 14 -15th century, english invented a machine that simulate a fast moving target traveling from side to side for longbowmen to train?

Should you use it? you should if you really want to harrass enemy from longer distance or you don't have a clear line of sight. Can you really shoot it "accurately" at a moving target moving from side to side? you can in the sense that your whole archers formation can hit enemy formation, not in the sense that you can pick off a chosen target you want it dead, which i assumed that's what the OP meant. Was it really effective? A LOT of shots will not hit anything but in certain situation it can be a good idea. Many already argued that English shoot straight in Agincourt for good reasons.

You can actually give plastic a chrome treatment (or maybe it's silver nitrate sometimes). If I were to make cheap plastic armour for the extras in the wide shot, I'd try and get in touch with a company that can chrome up the plastic armour. That way it will be nearly as reflective as a mirror. Then I'd weather the chromed surfaces with paint to dull the reflectiveness just a little. That way you'd still get a pretty good illusion of polished steel armour without having to spend the money for real armour.

Armour also needs to be custom tailored for the wearer, which further adds to the price. Armoursmiths are not exactly common around the world either since it's not a mainstream industry, so due to the rarity of their skills, the price hikes even further. If you compared that to simply vaccuforming sheets of plastic into pieces or armour, where the material is dirt cheap and no special skills are required to accomplish it, movie producers will opt for this option any day of the week rather than trying to outfit every single extra (many if which might only appear in shots that are less than a second long) with real steel armour.

Perhaps using the horse as a storage in the same way that Red Dead Redemption 2 would have been a good solution, but the studio is still young. Perhaps for KCD 2 it will be implemented.

Falstaff never existed, and Henry wasn't a drunk before he took the throne. Henry V did not kill Henry Percy at the battle of Shrewsbury, and the duel between them certainly did not decide the outcome of the battle as it never occurred yet the battle did, a complete reversal of what is shown in the film. The Dauphin was not present at the battle of azincourt, and certainly wasn't killed by an angry mob of mud-men, but most likely died of dysentery not long after he had missed the battle. The tactic of dismounting knights to fight with the archers had been common practice since at least the battle of crecy 80 years earlier, and certainly would not have caused any upheaval as shown in the film. The french did not have the advantage of a steep hill, and there was no forward contingent taking the brunt of the french assault. Henry did not hide in a forest for half the battle, but remained at the centre of his line from start to finish, and finally william gascoigne was not henry V's main advisor, but instead was removed from his posts shortly after henry V took the throne. I never even noticed the armour discrepancies while watching the film, i was too busy being offended by all the historical inaccuracies. Other than that sure... accurate...

To be realistic, King Henry should have been weeping over a stove in head with the hole in the shape of a hoof.

You make some interesting points about archers and arrows penetrating armour. There's some huge debates over that, but I tend to make two points. First of all, not all soldiers would have been wearing full plate armour, since it was hugely expensive. So common soldiers may have been especially vulnerable to arrows. Also, there are historical accounts about knights and nobles being shot in the head, neck and face. Henry himself got an arrow in his face when he was 16 in a battle known as the Battle of Shrewsbury. This suggests they were shot when they had their visors raised and bevor (a piece of plate armour which covered the neck and throat, and had an adjustable mouth piece) lowered, exposing the face to opportunistic archers.

After watching the film since its debut, I can confirm that your criticism of the mail armor headgear is somewhat nullified by the fact that the same dude - Sir John Falstaff (played by Joel Edgerton) - actually does put on a bascinet helmet with a protective visor over the face. Cleverly, the filmmakers only have him take it off during the battle because a knight on horseback rode by and struck him upside the head, making his ears ring uncontrollably as he becomes disoriented before dying.

Can i ask an archer question? The medieval archers (or any archer in history) can or will trace the movement of fast units? Like in strategy games, where the archers can shoot a moving cavalry unit wich is just turn around, or a totally different way , because they are know(the archers) where the enemy will be at the moment of the arrow hit. Can they calculate these kind of distances and directions at the moment, that fast? :/

Long time ago now there was a movie called Winstanley which was set in the English civil war, and they did try and get it as authentic as possible using the sealed knot re-enactment society, and that is going back a few years now.

Was henry shot in the face before this movie took place or after?

This has got me thinking, what do you think about Zeffirellis classic medieval movies, Romeo and Juliet (lots of swordplay) and Brother Sun Sister Moon which was pretty trippy at the time. As for our enery I was brought up on Laurence Olivier and all that.

IIRC the English at Agincourt did do _one_ arcing volley at the start of the battle, but it was intended to actually rark the French up and get them to attack, rather than do any actual damage.

I have had some first hand info on the armor , that the open face chain is some hand me down from his dead brother. A common practice among nobility. Waste not want not.

Regarding the man not wearing a helmet, John, this is actually before the battle. He puts on his helmet shortly after and drops the visor.

The meme game is too stronk! Loved the video, mate :)

I'd suggest you watch the whole movie, then review it, not just do a sloppy 'trailer review'.

Umm, he made this video in early September because the trailer was all he had to work with. If you watched the video you'd know he said at the end that he may review the whole movie once it comes out.

For the reenactment groups... they have done it in the Mandalorian, where they asked the the 501st to be play Stormtroopers! But it has the best Knight vs Knight fight in the beginning.

Now the film is out on netflix I can say many of these problems were fixed, a few more arose obviously, but overall it's pretty good.

3:29 later when he orders his men to move forward he puts on his helmet. Btw if you want to argue that you didn't see the movie but the trailer, 8:04 the man in the front is from earlier also wearing a helmet.

I agree with pretty much all of this but i would say that longbowman would choose between straight-shooting and arch-shooting, sometimes they'd just loose volleys of arrows to shower down on the enemy to break their morale and scare the horses/kill lesser armoured enemies

Just saw the movie, the guy you ranted on about not having a helmet put it on just after :P

The movie looks good I might have to check it out

I know this has nothing to do with the video but I've been watching your channel for some time and I would love to see a collection video unless you already have one in that case I hope my comment doesn't annoy you

How much do we know, if plate armour got painted or otherwise coated? This could be both for practical reasons and for heraldic reasons.

Hah! I knew my new hairdo would become trendy! Even the king has it!

So basically, producers should film most 14th century Europe setting films on Gotland during week 32 (Medieval week festival centered on the Danish invasion)

Still no Alchemist, doctor, hand cannon, caltrop or medieval explosives.

I disagree with your criticisms of John Falstaff's armour choice. In the movie, he went into battle with the desire to die: "Either I die out there, or I die back in East End with a bottle in my hand." I do however agree with your criticisms of the King's armour.

How would you like to compare the armor styles of the Dragon age: origins video game franchise? I would like to see what your opinion is

I think it would be good to revisit this review now that the movie is out. I'm not sure how accurate it is as I'm no expert. However, the issue you raise in the video regarding the guy without a helmet turns out to be invalid as he does wear one once the fighting begins. Unlike most movies, wrestling around to gain an advantage is commonplace in combat and many people are killed with daggers seeking out weak points in the armor. To my admittedly untrained eye, it seems like many things are right, but it would be nice to get the opinion of someone better versed in this timeframe.

3:28: thankfully in the film he does indeed have a helmet and doesn't march into battle wearing only mail. Although he takes it off in the middle of the battle which seemed pretty unnecessary/foolish to me. 4:58: I only worked briefly in production and it was a while ago, so I could be remembering wrong. But I'm pretty sure that if you're using union actors in a feature length production than all of your actors have to be union. So it might be hard to use medieval reenactors as extras on a production like this as I would imagine most of them (if any) would be union actors. And I imagine the actors they did use for the main roles are SAG.
