You missed this in TROY

You missed THIS in Troy. In the famous fight scene where Achilles and Hector duel each other, the actors didn’t use stunt doubles. Brad Pitt and Eric Bana instead came to an agreement, where they would pay the other in cash for each strike that accidentally landed for real. The stakes were $50 for a light hit and $100 for a heavy blow. One actor got the better of it, as Brad Pitt had to pay Eric Bana $750 while Bana didn’t have to pay Pitt at all, but who actually got the better deal?

Missing the behind the scenes stuff isn’t really our fault bro

“You missed this…” proceeds to tell us something that wasn’t stated in the movie whatsoever

Troy is legendary because of these two actors. I watch Troy once a year forsure lol.

You missed this in Django. Schultz didn’t actually kill the slave owners, they actually use special effects which allow them to look hurt. Every time Schultz actually killed someone, he had to pay them $500, so he stayed safe

The scene where Achilles throws money on Hector's corpse because he "hit him many times" must have just been in the directors cut.

Eric Bana, not hitting Brad Pitt during the fight: "Ha, I don't have to pay you anything."

Brad Pitt, counting out $800: "That is why no one will remember your name."

We got the better deal. The duel was amazing.

How could we have “missed” something that was discussed by the two actors off screen?

Brad Pitt was so beautiful in this movie.

It is an amazing story of duty and honor. Hector knowing he could not win still did his duty to family and country.

Thats why this fight was epic. No bs. You seen them the entire time. IMO greatest movie ever.

[incognito]

It's a classic. I never get tired watching it.

[audreywilliams]

Even if we missed this we the fans enjoyed it all. It was a great movie. ❤😊

[RobbyQuarantined]

I could watch these two priceless works of art thrust their rods at each other all day

[lukeskywalker]

Yes, I remember, Hector scratched his chest plate with the tip of his sword. Achilles/Pitt actually lost his footing!! So he looked up as if he was gonna say something like “ well damn, I owe you 750!”. It then just went to the rest of the fight. But they were both winded for real because they were actually trying to fight!🤣🤣 cool👍🏽

[josephvickrey]

That is still one of my favorite fight scenes.

[jeffnavarro]

Hard to miss what was never in your line of sight. Good vid!

[caseyalan]

Dude… how were we supposed to know that? I’m sick of you making us feel dumb

[davidpeterson]

The people got the best deal!! That was an amazing fight scene and we all were glued to our seats watching it.

[FoardenotFord]

Wow, that’s awesome. This is my favorite fight scene of all time. It’s so beautifully choreographed, but still feels gritty and raw. It’s both satisfying to watch and tells a self-contained story that also drives the film’s plot forward. It’s a perfect movie fight scene.
