The worst archery bollocks I've ever seen in a film is in Timeline (2003) The French are defending their castle at night from an English siege. They simultaneously exchange volleys of arrows with their tips set on fire. Very cinematic. Then the dastardly English commander calls for "night arrows". What are those? They're arrows whose tips aren't set on fire. The French soldiers, knowing there's a pile of archers at their door, and knowing exactly where they are thanks to the attackers all carrying torches, stand waiting for the signal to loose their counter-volley, and are surprised by the "night arrows". Such nonsense. | ||
