"Fire the trebuchet!!"
"Wait, wait, wait! We surrender."
"That's great, but it took us 3 months to make it, so we're gonna use it."
One of the most real moments in a historical movie I've ever seen

As a Scot and a Fifer I can fully empathise with the horse that would rather throw itself off a cliff than go to Kinghorn

I worked on Outlaw King for 5 months. Armour was slowly added to our costumes after each battle, suggesting it was looted.
There is a 4 hour cut including the spider in the cave scene. There were talks of making a mini series but sadly, I don't think we'll ever see it.
Great video

I would watch a 5-10 hour Robert The Bruce historically accurate series starring Chris Pine and Florence Pugh.   No question.

Honestly The War Wolf sounds like a Monty Python bit.

"We surrender!"

"Aaaw, you've got to be joking! We spent three months on this trebuchet. Do you know how many lead roof tiles--? No, you know what? Sod this. You stay right there and we'll fire this at you regardless."

"But we surrender!"

"You should have thought of that two months ago!"

When Monty Python is more historically accurate than many 'historical' movies. "He must be a king." "Why?" "He hasn't got shit all over him"

Just a quick note for History Buffs! The popular yellow dye for clothes at that time didn’t come from horse pee, but from weld, an extremely common weed. Stale urine was a common mordant (dye fixative) but it DID NOT color the fabric! Between weld (yellow), woad (another common weed that produced vivid blue and even certain shades of green with copper added) and madder (also a weed, whose roots produce bright reds and pinks), medieval Scotland was extremely brightly colored 🌈
Sincerely,
A historical dye nerd 😅

So love Aaron Taylor-Johnson's depiction of James Douglas in this film. Such an underrated actor

Fun note that the film leaves out that I just remembered: Robert's younger brother, Edward (called Ewan in the film), later attempted to claim the title of High King of Ireland at his brother's behest and he held the title for a bit before he was killed in battle by Anglo-Irish forces. That makes him the last person to hold the title of Irish high king.

Greek fire is 50 percent Greek and 50 percent fire.

Robert The Bruce’s life was a great example of a man who was mentally tough and overcame tremendous adversity. He was also an exceptional military commander. A fascinating figure.

My favourite thing as a Scotsman is they used actual scottish castles and scottish Highlands which help with the magic and beauty of the landscape

I enjoyed this movie honestly. I wish Netflix would do more movies like this and “The King”. There’s so much potential for good stories in this time period.

Hearing about Edward the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd makes me really really want to see a movie about Edward the Black Prince and his life.

Outlaw king was a massive improvement on braveheart. Indeed it had some errors, but overall it was a decent film. I really hope to see Das Boot reviewed someday.

The accuracy of material culture in this film is unreal, look at the armor, the swords, the weaponry, the finer Celtic/Gaelic details are so great

I love when History Buffs comes back with a new episode, at the right time.

As a reenactor of an early 14th century Bohemian noble, I can tell you, the armour they have is extremely well done. The english are sometimes wearing wierd things on top of their chainmail, like Edwards golden plates which I have never seen anywhere, but the scots with their early bascinets, mail, aventails and early coat of plate are extremely spot on. Its not as well tailored as it should be, but I guess when creating a movie, you need to have the chainmail loose so you can use it on many people in different scenes, as its quite expensive to make even today. It might be the best depiction of armour I have seen in a movie since Arn the Knight Templar. I would expect a lot more greathelms... but I understand that acting in a greathelm is absolutely impossible as you cannot see the actor or out of the god damn thing :D

48:23 lol here he mentions that yellow was a commonly used color because it was made using horse urine then a second later a wide shot with alot of ppl standing is shown and the guy front and center is wearing a yellow colored hat😅. I don't know if that was intentional but I laughed my ass off

What a great time it was when both Outlaw King and The King came out within a few months of each other... We need more historical pieces like this
