Trivia:
The chainmail for the film was made by the Weta Workshop, who also made the chainmail for The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Guy stabs Saladin's messenger in the throat with a small dagger. When the messenger falls, Guy is holding a bloody sword, rather than his dagger. This is corrected in the Director's cut, where Guy proceeds to behead the messenger with his sword.

I like Ridley Scott, not love, but like. He's made some great films (Blade Runner, Alien, Hannibal) as well as some I was never all that into (Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, G.I. Jane) I must admit with all the historical war films have come out over the past years I was reluctant to go see what I thought to be yet another Braveheart or Lord of the Rings minus the magic clone. Fortunetly, I underestimated Ridley this time. This film is by far one of his best. At first it may seem that Orlando Bloom is stuck once again in the role of a legendary warrior/archer/pirate slicing his way through an endless amount of baddies to win the battle. Thankfully this isn't the case. Here he plays a real character who gets injured and defeated, and has to think his way through battles just as much as he fights. The drama isn't tacked on either, even when Bloom is giving his addresses to his men urging them to fight it's never a cheesy impersonation of William Wallace. He doesn't preach freedom or unity or immortality, he makes it clear that these people are fighting for their lives and that's it. This isn't a cardboard copy straight out of the Hollywood quick buck machine. It's not just meant for summer eye candy. Kingdom of Heaven is a real film.
