Horses were such an important aspect of warfare before World War I that it's impossible to make historical films without their inclusion. This is especially true of movies that deal with warfare, due to how important that mounted cavalry was for many armies throughout history. The problem with using horses during filmmaking is that they can be dang...
Braveheart is about as historically accurate as The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. Put simply, Braveheart is essentially Mel Gibson's William Wallace fan fiction. These changes range from William Wallace being much younger during the events of the story, the idea of William Wallace impregnating Isabella of France when she was young during the Batt...
Braveheart features a lot of battle scenes and violent moments, but the cast managed to avoid any serious injuries. Mel Gibson claims that there were only a few sprained ankles and broken noses caused on the set of the movie. The violent nature of the film meant that a lot of care was given to safety procedures, which was likely helped by the disci...
There was a time when Mel Gibson was one of the biggest box office draws in the world. He starred in huge hits, like the Mad Max and Lethal Weapon series, which helped to make him a household name. It seems that there are limits to what star power can achieve when it comes to finding money to make a movie, as Mel Gibson had a tremendous amount of t...
One of the major historical inaccuracies in Braveheart was the age of William Wallace, or rather, the age of the actor who was playing him. The most important deeds of William Wallace that were shown on film were events that transpired during his late twenties, while Mel Gibson was in his late thirties when he portrayed the character. This was one ...
Mel Gibson is almost as famous for his directorial work as he is for his acting. The first movie directed by Gibson was The Man without a Face, which was followed by Braveheart. He would go on to direct The Passion of the Christ, which was a huge hit (despite its controversial subject matter) and brought in over six-hundred million dollars at the b...
Braveheart may be the most obvious movie from Scotland ever made, but it was mostly filmed in Ireland. The crew only spent six weeks filming Braveheart in Scotland, before packing up and moving to Trim, County Meath in the Republic of Ireland, which is also famous for acting as the setting of the infamous cult classic Fatal Deviation - Ireland's on...
In order to film the large-scale battle scenes in Braveheart, Mel Gibson needed wide-open areas of countryside, along with lots of extras who could be used to represent an entire army, as well as facilities for the horses that were used for the mounted cavalry. The production of Braveheart was given the use of Curragh Camp, which is an army barrack...
Braveheart is almost three hours long, with almost exactly the same running time as The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The movie was already under pressure to keep the running time low when it was being edited, as longer films have the potential to earn less money due to having fewer showings during their theatrical run. The Lord of...
The people of Scotland are always wary of attempts to replicate their accent on the big screen by foreign actors. The blame for this can be put on the shoulders of James Doohan, who was the actor from Canada who played Montgomery Scott in Star Trek: The Original Series, as his awful attempt at recreating the accent of Scotland was considered to be ...

Jul 28, 2021 · Wallace’s Wife. If we give Blind Harry the benefit of the doubt then Wallace was indeed married. His wife was called Marion Braidfute but this was deliberately changed for the film to avoid any confusion with Robin Hood. While Marion’s murder didn’t start Wallace’s trouble with the English, it did allegedly draw things to a head.
Apr 27, 2021 · So, William Wallace was in his twenties and not a kid when everything went south for Scotland. Nor were his father and brother murdered by the English in his childhood, as shown in "Braveheart." Instead, it was the later events after 1292 that truly sparked Wallace's hatred of the English.

Oct 1, 2024 · Voting Rules. Vote on the historical inaccuracies in Braveheart that are too big to ignore. "They may take away our lives but they'll never take our freedom." William Wallace (Mel Gibson) may as well have added "freedom to fib" at the end of the famous quote in 1995's award-winning film Braveheart. Truth is, the film is full of falsehoods.
