Hi, everyone!

Lately (as in, over the last 2 days or so) I've been having flashes of some archers that I've seen in some movie once, but I can't remember which movie it was, or what those archers are called, and not being able to remember this is eating at me inside. Please, for the love of God, if someone knows what archers I'm talking about, please remind me the name of the movie in which I've seen this type of archers...

In the movie, there were (probably) 100s or 1000s of them, all of them perfectly aligned, I think they wore some dark-green tunic or something, but I'm not sure.... and they were having HUGE (as in long) bows that they were holding onto with their right hand, and the bows were almost as tall (or long, depending on how you look at it but in the movie the bows were standing upright, so in that regard they've been tall more than long) as the archers themselves....

The archers - if my flashback serves me well - were also wearing smoothly curved coifs with pointy tips bent backwards... something like this....

I've probably seen them in one of those fantasy / historic movies like The Great Wall, or LOTR, or something like that... but I didn't find any reference to them in google. It's true that I may have not used the right queries and that I've given up too easily, but you'd expect to find such uniquely looking archers in a heartbeat, not having to dig through obscure sources and forgotten pages to see a damn image of them and a few words of what they're called like, are they real or fantasy, and if they're real which era / nation / armies they belonged to.

Again, if anyone knows what I'm referring to please help me with some details as this random, totally useless thought is consuming most of my mental energy and focus, and I can't do shit anymore and I have a lot of things to go back to :(

TIA!

I got 2 Reddit accounts banned, 1 of them for questionable reasons, but the other one for no normal reason at all, so I'm not going to create another account because I know I'll get banned again (because this time I will purposely pick on sensitive mofos).

But if you have a Reddit account, would it be too much if I asked you to use it to ask this for me? Please!


I'll rule out 300 and Alexander because I've never watched them, so I don't think they're in any of these 2 movies, although... I'm not sure of anything anymore because it's possible that I saw them in a trailer or short or something... Also, I think that those archers were positioned on a high wall or something, I can't remember, my memories of them are so vague (I probably saw them over 10-15 years ago, I don't know)... So, if this detail (the archers sitting on a high wall... or was it hill??) helps you or anyone else know what I'm talking about then do consider it!

And Hercules and Clash of Titans I did watch (Hercules I have even liked), so I'm pretty sure there were no such archers in Hercules. But for good measure, I just checked your IMDB links (both the trailers and the photos), and I also looked this up in Youtube but to no avail! It just won't come to me and it's so frustrating... And to make matter worse, I have a feeling that the archers I'm talking about have only been shown for a split-second, which makes it really hard for someone to notice, or remember, since it's not something that you care about outside of the 2-3 hours that the movie lasts....

Anyway, thanks for trying to help, both of you. I appreciate taking your time to help a fellow BHW with such a meaningless thing, much love to you :)
 
anybody else that can help me? A history / fantasy movies enthusiast maybe? :)
 
I want to help you. And I am all too familiar with the predicament of the "itch that cannot be scratched".

I'll post this on reddit to see if we can find an answer.
 
Will post it from my account, i am currently away from my computer

thanks, guys! I appreciate it (and yeah, it's itching badly. I just need to know where I saw those archers, and I need to see them again, damn it)

Robin Hood?
They don't show up in their IMDB trailers / photos. And yeah, I checked them both (the 2010 one, and the 2018 one)

I don't have discord / skype, but I assume it's just a movie name, so just mention it :)

Or I can contact you via PM if you want to keep the name private for some reason. Let me know!

I mean, I'm not 100% certain that these are the EXACT same ones from my imagination, because in my memory they appear darker, taller, holding their bows with the right hand while perfectly aligned on a castle wall or something, they look more stalwart-y and spectacular in general, but seeing this image I realize that the archers from my memory could also be the same archers, just shot from a different angle and / or in one of the other 3 movies in the The Hobbit trilogy. From now on it's just a matter of looking this particular scene up in the movies themselves, but the idea is that I know where to look now IF I really want to (at the moment I don't want to, because all I wanted to know is where the hell I saw these archers, so I'm good now :) )

Anyway, I just wanted to let you both now that my itch had finally been scratched and I can die peacefully now (although I hope I won't die :p)

Thanks to both of you for helping me with this, and if I'll ever be able to return the favor don't hesitate to ask :)

Peace, brothers!
