One? He has all of them.
My man’s definitely got one of these bad boys clipped to his belt. (Yes, the blades fold up)
I'd cut my hand up so bad yet so quickly if I had those
Man's a mall ninja before malls even existed.
Achilles is gonna load up on monster energy before he naruto-runs to vanquish his enemies.
And by vanquish I mean getting stabbed in the heel and fucking dying.
Why would they name him Achilles if they knew his ankles were a weakness. It’s well known how vulnerable the Achilles Tendon is to injury. It’s like giving the enemy a huge hint where to attack.
So dumb!
Poor guy. Classic case of nominative determinism.
Like with that Priapus guy. What a name
With a helmet like that, may as well cast GWAR and call it a day.
If they went all out like that I’d respect it a lot more. Give me the Odyssey but make everyone look straight outta Warhammer or something crazy like that.
Best I can do is Lou Ferrigno as Hercules. Just watch the whole trailer. The monster designs and other set pieces are pretty far out there for the time.
How did I never hear about this? I definitely need Hercules with lightsabers in my life now!
On a side note it’s crazy how many times the trailer guy said the name of the movie. Every sentence gotta involve Hercules at least once.
You're welcome.
I'm not sure if this is c/bmoviebonanza material, but it's up there. Anyway, that's a solid community if you enjoy shlocky "how did this happen?!" movies.
Also, just dig through the Cannon Group movie list for more "throw crazy shit at the wall" gems like this. Some are hits, most are misses, and a few are really incredible misses.
Those are such nice resources that I didn’t know of! Thanks a lot, gonna dig into both in the next weeks.
"WHERE IS SHE?!!!" - Achilles, talking about Helen of Troy
It's just so obviously a vacuformed plastic shell that doesn't fit the actor that's wearing it. Has no visual relation to any of the other armor styles in the film, despite supposedly being from the same culture, time period, and status level.
He looks like a futurized, Coppola's Megalopolis interpretation of classical armor.
Without knowing any details on the movie other than "Christopher Nolans next movie is The Odyssey" and that appearing early in the trailer, I thought, Oh ok, cool, kinda doing something visually here, not historically accurate but an artistic adaptation like the 300 or something. Then the rest of the trailer is just, nope, normal Greece. So out of place.
Doesn’t even look like Greece. The lighting (or lack of) makes it look like they were going for the Scandinavia aesthetic or something, not the Mediterranean.
I read an interview with Nolan where he said that because he's red / green colorblind, he deliberately color grades his films to desaturate those colors and make the final result more accurate to what he sees.
Doesn't change the fact that bronze/ heavily pigmented ancient Greece is a horrible choice for such a treatment, but still interesting why he does it.
The odyssey is a fantasy epic which features a Cyclops, it was never historically accurate.
How about stylistically and thematically consistent? Surely, Nolan could have at least tried for that?
Again, multiple other characters in the trailer who are of the same status level, time period, and culture, but no consistency.
Egger's The Northman was an equally mythologically interlaced tale, but you don't see any vacuformed plastic there, do you?

I didn't get the reference, and you did enlighten me, so I feel like I'm supposed to say "thank you," but I really just want my minute and nine seconds back now.
Totally understandable. Have a good day!
