Ladyhawke (9/10) Movie CLIP - Church Duel (1985) HD

[@number1nanaof2]

I have loved this movie forever. Such a beautiful story and perfect actors.

[@esmewvimes2901]

Oh how I loved this movie as a kid. I bet I saw it half a dozen times. To all you kids born in the 90's and later, you missed out on some great movies. Now I have to buy a copy Of Ladyhawk.

[@heranmouada9864]

Magic, excitement, drama, action, fantasy, thrills, and adventures. Duel in the church, I have never seen anything like this before, very different from the knight's tournament. Sword fighting on horseback is incredible and amazing 🧚🧚‍♂🧚‍♀

[@NobleHorse-gq4li]

Horse folks know that none of these scenes were easy. So much involved.

[@NobleHorse-gq4li]

Two of the most gorgeous horses I’ve ever seen. I fell in love with them immediately when I was a kid.

I wish they would have included the bit with the horse first trotting up. It was always mesmerizing to see its legs move in unison.

[@trumpsextratesticle8590]

^^^ THIS. Out of all the scenes in this movie. That entrance and the sound of the horse trotting into the church is the one I remember. Classic, epic, UNFORGETABLE.

[@rustyhowe3907]

I really like how the central theme remained a love story without making overbearing. And yes you have character conflicts but they never feel too forced nor do they sabotage the film, but enhance it into character development. Also knights actually USING THEIR HELMETS YAYYYYY!!!🤗 I wish more 'romantic' flicks paid attention to this much much more.

[@QueekHeadtaker]

Knights wearing their helmets is so rare it deserves mention every time! No sarcasm.

[@rustyhowe3907]

@@QueekHeadtaker Absolutely! And this little film shows that YES one *can* not lose track of characters through clever use of costume design and introduction to said helmet across the film.

[@conatcha]

I am really AGONIZING when reading those comments about the score: "it's too modern", "awful synthesized soundtrack"... WTF?? Really??? Come on, guys, this WHOLE soundtrack is a f*cking MASTERPIECE. Do you really think that OST in today's movies based on ancient worlds do not have loads of synthesized sounds??

[@0legacy23]

I understand your opinion and I have no problem with the soundtrack (it didn't really mark me) but admit when you have a masterpiece like "Conan the Barbarian soundtrack by Basil Poledouris" from 1982 who match perfectly with the movie it's not the same level

[@austinaxley81]

Lord of the Rings Harry Potter Chronicles of Narnia The Fountain I could start naming great modern fantasies with amazing OSTs that aren't synthesized and not stop for weeks. Not that it's bad it's just indicative of its time. Most fantasy soundtracks nowadays rely on exotic instruments like the iljeann pipes, or the sitar to evoke a feeling of fantasy and mysticism, not synthesizers.

[@dannieanonymous8083]

@@austinaxley81 I beg to differ I simply luv TD & Alan Parsons's Project But i can't name many medieval fantasy /epic film's, that have used synthesized (proto-electronic works) still The sorcererer / a masterpiece (not so muxh the remake of a movie) The keep The thief (James Caan, as well as the musical undertones, simply outworldish)

[@austinaxley81]

@@dannieanonymous8083 yup that was the point I was making. The OP's claim, or rather challenge, was to name a modern fantasy OST that doesn't use synthesizers. My point was that you would be hard pressed to find one that *does*. Even though I don't necessarily have a problem with synth they're just not all that common in fantasy. Probably moreso in sci-fi.

[@NobleHorse-gq4li]

The whole film is a masterpiece. Soundtrack perfect.

Sword fighting on horseback in a church. Enough said!

[@burnout02urza]

That helmet looks like the one Guts wears in Berserk, interestingly enough.

[@LesCantonsdelettres]

I remember the first time I saw that movie and that scene, I fell in love with that grey horse and wanted nothing more than see more of that splendid animal (and of Goliath, of course!).

[@jensenrogers6611]

Right when the video ends you get that moment when you realize: holy crap I actually have a chance to end this Hell! Why did the vid have to end right there? It's a crime, but an awesome movie.

[@SwordsmanMercenary]

Most exciting mass ever

[@TokyoSpike]

Great use of the costumes too -- Navarre in black, forced out of his rightful place but actually the true servant of god and the right, battling the evil men who hypocritically wear white. I've loved this movie for 30+ years, even with its flaws (music and a too-modern performance by Broderick).

[@conatcha]

You mean that the music in this movie is a flaw?? WTF, man???

[@gawainethefirst]

The score could use a full orchestra. Keep the same music, just use a full orchestra.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

@@gawainethefirst No, if they used a full orchestra it would be just another sweeping fantasy movie a la Lord of the Rings. The delicate electronic music and the beautiful horn arrangements are what makes this movie distinctive, and adds an almost ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere.

[@lyleswann6296]

I too always thought that the music by Andrew Powell and Alan Parsons was a little too over the top on the synth and an awkward fit to the film. I could be wrong, I haven't seen the film in a while. But I always loved the story and the design of the film nonetheless.

[@ebhark2012]

Honestly, the music was just fine. Remember, synthesizers were the rage in the 80s, when this movie was made.

[@cayea4076]

Oh those horses!!!!!!

[@MrRetlav]

Dude what a throw! If he used that strength while wielding a sword I bet he could even cut the horse in half!

[@nazur72]

I thought Matthew Broderick was going to burst into that church and scream "Professor Falken stop this madness at once!" :) Oh and R.I.P Rutger Hauer 1944-2019 :(

[@sharkracer]

I just realized that the priest was the Professor. Never connected the two before.. of course it's been about 30 years since I've seen Ladyhawke.

[@vojtechdjakov7271]

The feeling when your own guards betray you :D I always like the sequence when the personal bishops's guards in white want to stop Navarre

[@ChimeraAZ]

Marquet is my favorite character in the entire movie. He wasnt too happy about being ordered about by the Nasty Bishop.Ken Hutchison is great in his role,and he was also great in "Straw Dogs". I'd give my eye teeth to have that horse of his! I've found out that the breed is an Andalusian, also known as a PRE (Pura Raza Espanola) aka Pure Spanish Horse. They have the look of a Frisian,but come in other colors than black and the extremely rare white.

I always hated the "kill isabeau if I fail" bit. That wasn't his call to make.

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

I understand what you're saying and I agree, but he also says "It will doom her to a half life, and that is not what she wants." I assumed that Imperius or Philippe had let Isabeau know of Navarre's plans to end their enchantment, and that Isabeau had told them to end her existence if the plan failed and Navarre died. Earlier in the film Navarre goes nuts when he thinks Hawk-Isabeau might die from her arrow wound, and is even kneeling praying "please" as Philippe takes the wounded hawk to Imperius, so I can't imagine he would ask Imperius to kill her unless it was Isabeau's express wish.

Beau film -

[@tommypetersen2540]

If they could re-score this film it would be a fantasy masterpiece...seriously! Even more than Superman, Richard Donner directs this earnest, well acted, and well cast film with a steady eye and avoids camp. It really should have catapulted Rutger Hauer to stardom but I think the audiences were still to do fond of "bad boy" anti heroes to accept a straight ahead hero. The film just works so well accccccept for the God awful synthesised soundtrack that mostly rubs through the film. There is orchestral stuff which is fine but the synthesised organ during most of the chase scenes just pulls me right out of the film. Really too bad as Donner usually scores his films well.

[@tamonettX500]

My thoughts exactly when I first rented the film back in the 80's. I'd never heard of it, rented it because of the cover (and because of Rutger). I was completely surprised by the music, completely out of date with the setting of the movie. I'm used to it now, but it just doesn't fit.

Might be, might not. Guts' helmet looks similar to Navarre's, and, well, there is an eclipse, a curse, a kind of triangle between Navarre, Isabeau and the bishop, betrayal, Navarre turns into a wolf which is an animal associated with Guts, she is a hawke. Maybe there are more details that they share but who knows if it was intentional. I wouldn't be surprised though.
