About 2 minutes into the clip.

And there is a pretty good race clip, for its day. Before Bullitt.

Charlton Heston also played Moses in the movie The Ten Commadments.

I think the main one is that Wallace was a nobleman (not a poor villager) and more likely English than Scottish!

But the worst atrocity is Gibson's accent!

(giggles) 🙂

At least no one can say he didn't try. Those 3 movies together would drive most director/producers nuts. Of course it's nothing a bit more dosh can't fix.

I don't know about the movie, but the Holy Bible says Jesus was unable to carry the cross or cross beam and a Roman soilder pulled a man from the crowd watching to finish carrying the cross the rest of the way to the crucifixion site.

This man was one Simon of Cyrene.

The ruins of Cyrene are located near the modern village of Shahhat, Libya, which is near Benghazi.

Mel hates the English possibly more than He hates Jews, Women, or sub Sahara'n Africans.

However if you forget that it is an anti English rant, it is a good film, with the right message about standing up to power.

Forget the message its a GREAT film!!!
Seen it 4-5 times.
I wish it was historically correct - that would be AWESOME!!

I must admit the hanging, drawing & quartering was realistic/authentic.
They did the same to Guy Fawkes centuries later ....

And as the pro-Capital Punishment crowd would say:-
"No traitor committed treason again after being hung, drawn & quartered" !!

The "JESUS" Film project and the Passion are my two favories.
