TROY - Hector vs Achilles - Movie duels

Still almost 20 years later it's amazing how well this was choreographed. Their moves were believable, though Achilles' perfection is close to superhuman. But without having to stray outside of reality, it was one of the best movie duels ever.

[@clamchowder622]

@Han Solo I'm with you there, I preferred the original duel theme

[@legatovtarot]

Да, хореографы были великолепны. Жаль сценаристы не были...

[@SaintD382]

Achilles' perfection is indeed superhuman: for he is a demi-god (his mother was a minor goddess I believe). Even so, Hector's defeat may not have been a foregone conclusion: it's not inconceivable that the most skillful human warrior in the world might occasionally defeat a demi-god. And Achilles did have one weakness (his heel), though Hector probably didn't know that.

[@compteprivefr]

Agreed, I remember watching this thinking how Achilles came off looking 'almost' superhuman, whereas they could've made it look over-the-top by making him artificially overpowered.

i was always rooting for hector. he was fighting for and achilles was fighting against.

[@clamchowder622]

@shwheat6315 if hector had won the duel, he would have won the war then and there. The Greek soldiers had such faith in their greatest warrior, and if he had been slain by their enemy's greatest warrior, it would have sapped all of their morale to fight. In the movie, they considered leaving just because Achilles and his men hadn't joined the attack on the city.

Well in another life perhaps, but he was also slave of his own honor. All greeks declared an oath to go an rescue Helen if she was taken by someone else. Both of theme are the same kind of warrior on the inside. Both seek to protect what they love and fight for what they wanted. Aquilles fought so that he could be remembered and Hector fought so that Troy was safe, even if his brother doomed all the city from the beginning. Both deserved to live but only one could come un top.

[@tubucoco]

Yes, because he fought for an asshole King that he despised! It's like that in real life as you are loyal to people or work for people you despise that treat you bad when they're much better people or jobs out there that you just haven't come across. It's truly a misfortunate type of thing because he truly could have joined the Trojans and married their cousin and welcomed in the family as a brother. The Trojans would have had the best 2 athletes on the planet in their service, so, all the other countries would have feared them. Lol

[@goemon9378]

Achilles was gay though and Patroclus was his lover.

[@MrWadewynn]

ultimately, this is the best portrayal of hector in any retelling of the Iliad. Other versions have him dying super early with a spear to the throat while fleeing on a chariot. Other versions having him running until he gains the courage to fight. He is always written to be fearful and a bit cowardly, though a good man. This version, he is obviously afraid, but he isn't a coward, and is probably the most dignified character in the film besides Priam. This is basically the best Hector, a man who is almost on par with Achilles, a demi-god. I thought Ajax died too quickly though lol.

[@BabyfaceStuntz]

I completely agree with your opinion on how he’s portrayed in this film. Based off everything I’ve read. I feel like the story of him running until he had to fight, seems most likely. Who knows tho.

[@chad9017]

Yeah it would have been cooler to see Ajax kill more Trojans. And it would have been cool to see an actor worthy of the role of Hector.. The script was great, and Brad couldn't have played it any better. But my main point is I agree, Hector could have been given a lot more credit. "Oh dang the alien gods of Olympus have landed! Go out and kill them after you wash the dishes Hector." Yeah, too much of that vibe. But Brad was great. Epic. Which makes sense in a weird way. The world-class actor vs. the amateur. Etc. The scene has layers. Watched it about 10 times to figure out how Achilles got the spear end he stabbed Hector with (he grabbed it from him right?). Great combat sequence though from both actors.

[@BabyfaceStuntz]

@@chad9017 No he broke hectors spear in the beginning. It was Achilles spear he tosses it to the ground when hector trips if if I remember correctly. Then when hector has two swords Achilles picks his spear back up an snaps it in half before stabbing hector with it.

Sorry but he is not in heaven, he is in hell. Listen or play rock, drugs adictions, take the name of God in vain, sex before get married also known as fornication, drink beer an other beers etc are sins, and sins send people to hell but obeying the bible You can make heaven!Good news! • Did you know that there is someone who died for you on a cross so that you could achieve eternal life? • Did you know that you only have two paths after death? The Bible tells us in the book of Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." and in Ecclesiastes 7:20 it says "Certainly there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins." This tells us that all human beings are sinners (we all break God's law), therefore, we deserve God's punishment for going against his word, but the good news is that through his son Jesus Christ we can obtain forgiveness of sins: John 3:16 [16] For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. Romans 5: 8 [8] But God shows his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God died on a cross for all humanity more than 2000 years ago, rising on the third day and paying a high price for our sins, since in the Bible it tells us that there is a heaven after death but also There is a hell and the kingdom of heaven can only be reached through Jesus Christ through the forgiveness of sins, it is not through any virgin or any saint, or by any other means, there is only one mediator between God and men, so if you want to go to heaven you have to repent of your sins (fornication, lies, etc.) and follow Jesus (obey biblical commandments). Christ is coming soon! Judgments come to earth (asteroids, earthquakes, etc.), seek God who has great things for your life. God bless you. Prayer: Prayer: dear Lord Jesus forgive my sins, I know that I am a sinner and I need your forgiveness, enter my heart and guide me towards eternal life, thank you. Amen

[@FPAlpha]

For me it is one of the best fights ever filmed. Achilles is the best fighter of his era but Hector is well known too. However when the fight starts even someone unfamiliar with fighting realizes after a few moves that Achilles is superior. Hector manages to keep up for a short while but he's at the very limit of his strength and skills and has to go all in while we see Achilles calmly attack and defend, waiting for the right moment to land the killing blow. Hector puts on a good fight though - some instant kill techniques of Achilles that he used earlier in the movie do get blocked by Hector so as the fight goes on even Achilles starts to struggle a little bit and even comes close to being wounded - a completely new experience for him which pisses him off. What's even better though is the aftermath of the fight when Priam sneaks into the Greek camp to retrieve his dead son. Achilles realizes that his entire life is questionable because it means the death of good men, just so that his name should be remembered.

I fell in love with the character of hector This movie was full of emotions for me I loved hector so much so i didn't feel pity when Achilles was killed by paris The man behind hector is skillful & has that aura of loveable babyface

This is one of the best well choreographed melee weapon fight scene I ever saw. Seeing it in theatres was amazing.

[@kevsdigitalartsmore3743]

People forget not only Achilles was a Demi-god but also plunged within the river Styx making him near invulnerable to anything except his ankle, the longer he fights the more ferocious he fights, its shown here and the beach battle not only that he was the son of a prince making him a warlord and has had training & experience very few have with an unorthodox fighting style aswell. Those are a few things I’d like to point out.

[@johnnyavalos9109]

And Achilles is the great grandson of Zeus.

[@Confused_Philosopher]

All but his heels because his mother held them to dip him in the river Styx. That is why they are called the achilles tendon.

[@TSkillessB]

Hell of a battle considering Hector held his own against Achillies, who was completely invincible at the time(no ones knew about his heel yet). The only reason Paris killed Achillies was because Apollo guided the arrow. I love this scene.

This fight goes to show that Achilles could've kill him when they met at the temple, but since there aren't any witnesses to see the battle, Achilles let him go.

I always felt that Achilles wasn't just a bit better here but leagues better. He is toying with Hector. He could finish this at any point but only decides to do so when Hector lands a blow. Plus Hector's clean strike to his armored heel is a nice touch.

[@evilTaker90V2]

Far above Hector, remember that Achilles was a demigod, not exactly a fair fight 😂 but he managed to get Achilles a bit winded, which is an amazing accomplishment since Hector was a man. Worthy opponent, but only had, like they say in boxing a punchers chance

I remember in the BTS, the fight choreographer gave Achilles a more "elegant" fighting style like a martial art. Whereas Hector was more of a brawler, where it was more about the experience than technique.

[@tubucoco]

Hector in the first fight should have known he wasn't facing the true Achilles because the cousin was too clumsy. Though he knew some of Achille's moves he was nowhere near as skilled as the true Achilles. When the helmet was removed and the cousin was revealed Hector knew right then he was a dead man walking as the fear came over his face.

[@aestheticmizo6444]

Achilles was a better warrior But Hector was a better man

[@MeTaLISaWeSoMe95]

Something I liked quite a bit, you can tell that Hector had zero experience fighting with 2 edged weapons. Instead of using them in concert together to attack, which would have ended the fight very quickly might I add, he uses them one at a time. The moment that Achilles gets his hands on the spear, he uses them both together, which results in the spear in Hectors chest. Clearly, he knew how to fight with two edged weapons where his opponent didnt.

[@DoroteoVilla]

Could be me but Achilles, for as great a warrior as he was, never struck me as particularly heroic. Yes, he was loved by his men and he loved them and yes, he exemplified military virtues. But Achilles was part of an invading army and Hector was fighting to protect it....and died for it.

in Greek myths heroism doesn't always translate into good like how we see it in modern times. many Greek heroes had flaws that made them downright despicable by today's standards. it's just that they were heroes cause they did great things. hope this helps😁

[@Exknight2]

@@DoroteoVilla Even in the movie you can notice the tension in the greek invasion forces between the myrmidons and the king, the king wanted Achilles and the warriors to fight for him but then again he didn't want them to overperform and get all the glory, this led to disagreements between the 2 and that's why Achilles was furious with how Menelaus acted.

[@JoLuVi77]

I have watched this many times and I never realized that Hector could have won. Hector fought knowing and believing he was going to die. He was really sloppy fighting here. If only he would have canceled that dream and would have fought believing he was going to beat this demi god.

GOATED fight scene. The absolute BEST of mortal men vs a demigod. Valiant effort by Hector, but in the end he is up against a demigod, and is fully aware from beginning to end and still gives it his all. I love that they showcase it by Hector giving it everything he has even tho he knows he doesn't stand a chance, where as Achilles is going 60-70 percent maybe, but respect the warrior effort nonetheless. Like he let's him get up when he trips on the stone...daaamn. This scene is the perfect meme of "dudes will watch this and be like, 'he'll yeah'"... Am a dude, HELL YEAH hahaha 👏

Sorry but he is not in heaven, he is in hell. Listen or play rock, drugs adictions, take the name of God in vain, sex before get married also known as fornication, drink beer an other beers etc are sins, and sins send people to hell but obeying the bible You can make heaven!Good news! • Did you know that there is someone who died for you on a cross so that you could achieve eternal life? • Did you know that you only have two paths after death? The Bible tells us in the book of Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." and in Ecclesiastes 7:20 it says "Certainly there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins." This tells us that all human beings are sinners (we all break God's law), therefore, we deserve God's punishment for going against his word, but the good news is that through his son Jesus Christ we can obtain forgiveness of sins: John 3:16 [16] For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish, but may have eternal life. Romans 5: 8 [8] But God shows his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God died on a cross for all humanity more than 2000 years ago, rising on the third day and paying a high price for our sins, since in the Bible it tells us that there is a heaven after death but also There is a hell and the kingdom of heaven can only be reached through Jesus Christ through the forgiveness of sins, it is not through any virgin or any saint, or by any other means, there is only one mediator between God and men, so if you want to go to heaven you have to repent of your sins (fornication, lies, take the name of God in vain, etc.) and follow Jesus (obey biblical commandments). Christ is coming soon! Judgments come to earth (asteroids, earthquakes, etc.), seek God who has great things for your life. God bless you. Prayer: Prayer: dear Lord Jesus forgive my sins, I know that I am a sinner and I need your forgiveness, enter my heart and guide me towards eternal life, thank you. Amen
