Of course, that never actually happened as William Wallace was a cross-border bandit who never won a pitched battle against anyone. He did not sleep with the Queen and he make no stirring speeches of record.

In fact, on his first serious military engagement, he was annihilated in battle, captured and then hung, drawn and quartered in London.

Also, he never battled 'the Brits' - only the English and various groups of Irish.

The Welsh were not there - and bearing in mind it was Welsh archers that won Crecy and Agincourt, I doubt he would have been making many stupid speeched with 3 feet of ash sticking out of his face

But still, apart form that, it was a good film. I'm surprised he didn't manage to fit in any Jew-bashing in the two hours it was on
Yea, I was just speaking on the movie not on actual event, if that was the case I would have to remove the exorcist scene as well, there is no evidence saying "your mom sucks cock in hell" but it was still a great scene. As far as your views on William Wallace I can tell you are not a fan of his, I only read one book on him and it pretty much had the same views on him, many time's people will try to spread negative propaganda on his myth or legend because of the popularity of the film, but to tell you the truth it won't stop anybody from liking the movie. And there was a statue built for William Wallace so he must of been doing something right.
