A takeaway from this scene that this clip doesn't show because it cuts off too soon is, Hector tries to retaliate by throwing a spear at Achilles but, it's thrown at such a slower velocity that Achilles just turns himself sideways to dodge it. So in other words: Hector has to get the momentum of being on horseback and, get even closer to achieve even a fraction of the same throw Achilles just performed.

Hector is like that one gamer who is skilled but got matched up against a cheat user.

[@obiitom]

in the book it was cheats, he had outside assistance, one of the gods gave Achilles his spear back, Achilles was good and if legends are true unstoppable but he still had a lot of help. i think the intention of the movie was to make it more grounded, no demi god, no Luke Cage skin etc, Hector was beaten by a more skilled opponent granted, i don't think he was that much more skilled though. Hector got unlucky with a stumble and he needed more work on his cardio as he was exhausted shortly into the fight, but lets not forget Hector had previously had a tough battle with Ajax, then later Patroclus while Achilles had been tugging his meat then relaxing in his tent.

[@poobs2361]

i remember reading the book in highschool. It was 10 point font and like 600 pages. I remember hector written to be extremely intelligent and intuitive. In alot of ways he mirrored Achilles; and I think that was the point of his character in both the book and the movie. It almost seemed that Hector was the man that Achilles could have been if he hadn't spent his whole life chasing glory. Conversely, if Hector had dedicated himself more to the art of war instead of becoming a leader for the army and for his people as well as pursuing a love interest, he may have been every bit as horrifying and deadly as Achilles on the battlefield. In the book of course there was alot more divine intervention, but Hector was mostly just a normal ass guy that held his own against the best of Sparta.

Even in their duel there is a moment in which they zoom in on Achilles and he is breathing heavy and has a face that realizes this is a REAL fight and he's being put to work.

considering hector had to ride for another 10-15 seconds, so prob close to 100 or so feet close and still struggled with his throw and missed and from the few shots we see of them both in frame, it looks like well over 200-250ft throw, or close to 80m its an insane throw to make in of itself let alone an accurate throw.

You don't need to know the distance he threw it. This scene demonstrated that Achilles was capable of such a throw that no other mortal man could accomplish. He killed someone with his spear and the approaching Trojans could not immediately retaliate because even their best soldier, Hector, did not have the strength to return such a throw. Even when Hector finally comes within his range for a spear throw, it is so slow compared to the throw by Achilles that all he had to do was move his head slightly to the side to dodge it. The distance is irrelevant.

@@LuxDragon He threw it at Ulysses himself as a warning shot/greeting. The king (Agamemnon) wasnt present.

[@MrBb3k]

You imagine if that was a family heirloom passed from generation to generation, father to son. Now this guy just goes and throws it at a fella coming from feet if not yards away...power to him.

[@dikibodaniel6259]

Y'all seem to be more concerned about the aim. Have y'all even considered the power/force behind that spear? I mean it picked a man from his horse and sent him flying backwards. I think that was what got Hector so awestruck.

[@joecha9746]

Not just that either. A man that was riding his horse at a full gallop towards Achilles

[@gaugehaver2426]

Damn gentlemen, never thought of it like that

[@joshburns969]

Realistically a javelin from any distance hitting him in the chest at full gallop would have done that. With him at full gallop that javelin hit him even harder then achilles threw it.

[@pcuimac]

And it's physically impossible. Most of the energy could of course have come from the fast movement. So the rider impaled himself on the spear. That's the genius of the Huns. They knew that the power of the bow adds up with the powerr of the fast horse they ride.

[@TheFerdi18]

I also like how this clip could have been at least a minute, but the uploader respected the power of Achilles and showed nothing else.

[@ParkerBG]

The strength of the spear throw was unquestionably strong, but the accuracy is kinda incidental. He was throwing into a crowd of 50 men, so he knew he was gonna hit something.. just sayin 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@pakg1]

Not sure about that. The longer the range, the harder it is to hit a target, even a big one, unless you've honed your accuracy over many repetitions of practice. Tom Brady has said something similar to that effect about quarterbacks. The amount of width your throw can go to the side has lager variance as you throw farther. It's not like aiming a gun where the mechanics are all mechanized.

[@mr.doctorcaptain1124]

@@pakg1 it's exactly like aiming a gun. That same factor is what makes aiming a gun at a long range so difficult. Let the barrel wiggle the tiniest millimeter and a shot from 600 yards is off by a foot by the time the the bullet has traveled that far.

[@lilguyy72]

Although I agree with this point, I do believe he was trying to avoid hitting Hector out of that crowd.

This whole movie was basically about how the gods doomed Troy if you think about it. Hector advises against everything his father does but the gods said otherwise.

Modern javelin record is almost 100 meters: 98.48m (in 1996). After redesigning the javelin to prevent runners on the tracks from getting hurt, it still got thrown 90.57meter Achilles was maybe throwing a 50 meter distance with that impact.

[@deankruse2891]

he throws that spear well over 100meters

[@Mr.Honest247]

Achilles makes Olympic athletes look like couch potatoes in comparison.

[@letmefindout81]

That was a hell of a spear throw 😳 if i can say so myself

[@nasri]

I always wondered if Achilles was actually aiming for Hector then went "Oh fuck."

[@rotyler2177]

Doubtful. Achilles didn't know which one Hector was until a few minutes later.

[@nasri]

@@rotyler2177 Oh yes that’s right!

[@J.-T.]

Well I don't think he would, since there was a prophecy that said Achilles would die soon after he'd killed Hector. Probably the reason he allows Hector to live in this scene as well.

[@rotyler2177]

@woof woof Negative, sir. He threw the spear then went inside temple. Achilles introduced himself and said You must be Hector.

LMAO!

At that velocity and the design of the spearhead, it would've pierced his armor anyways.

Nice.

I like how in 300 in a very similar scene the protagonist just narrowly misses

[@AMindInOverdrive]

Hector saw that and continued to ride forward. I'd have been like "Anyway, back home for lunch"

[@B501M]

i always thought Brad performed this roll beautifully and gracefully. (I also think most of that muscle is NOT editing and stuff.) He really does work out and keep healthy/fit, aside from acting, of course.

[@edwardschmitt5710]

I thought he was too small for the roll...Please don't come back with the "But he was a half God"....he had magnanimity. He commanded respect. Pitt could be any action star but for this roll he is still only like 165 LBS....Just not what I pictures having read and studied the Iliad.

[@Mr.Honest247]

Of course he worked out for this role!!! Brad Pitt was always ripped as fuck in this era.. just look at Fight Club!!! His muscles are NOT CGI!!!

Thanks to this solo kill Hector told his army to finally start using shields properly- in the front towards enemy not as umbrella against the sun , and later in the movie not a single troijan would die from the enemy thrown spear. Hector 1:0 Achilles
