Troy - Brad Pitt
Guest Author - Lisa Shea

I love the swordfighting scenes in Troy. Some of them are incredibly well done! Still, there were a few mistakes in this film, so here is what to watch out for.

Troy is preparing for battle and you can spot a rack of guns. Guns weren't around for LONG long after this battle.

Speaking of weapons, they were made of bronze in these days. To stab them into a shield, as you see in this movie, would have dented the sword.

That wouldn't have helped the "wooden" practice sword in one scene - you can see that it's actually plastic with wood paint that's worn off of it by rough use.

You spot some llamas in Troy. Llamas are of course from South America and would not have been seen anywhere near Troy in those days.

Interestingly, they make Troy out to be a vast dirt wasteland. Actually, Troy was a very green, tropical area. There would have been a ton of trees.

Similarly, when Menelaus gets to the palace to see Agamemnon, the palace is right near the sea. There shouldn't be any sea near Mycenae.

If you've seen other errors in this movie, be sure to post them in our forums!
