[TheZaius]

TRIFORCE!!!

herp derp

0:13 - is that sword the inspiration for the Shark Sword in the Severance: BLade of Darkness game? I think so (it looks a lot like those choppas that Warhammer Fantasy orcs use, too)

[chiara1973]

This carry is better than that one made in the second episode of the Lord of the Rings

[hafiidz3]

IT is impossible for only 1 person to defeat the Ottoman Army.

@hafiidz3

Really? we have an really intelligent person here! I would have NEVER guessed that!

min. 0:30 you can see the rail of the travelling

eggs07 is probably on the right track as to how they did this shot. I'm not sure if just using a Steadicam alone would have done it because of the lens height. A camera truck was probably used with the steadicam rather than a dolly and track. What really gives it away is the speed change a couple of seconds after the soldiers start bunching up into the shot. The camera was ramped down from 24fps down to at least 12fps or 10fps.

[KahnBB6]

...and I should have caught it but I intended no pun with my comment.

[trollsnot]

Brilliant

[iljonathan777]

The only unsuccessful part of this is the execution.

[ZaketoX2]

Is that pun intended?

[iljonathan777]

Yes.  Otherwise, the scene stands head and shoulders above the rest.

[ZaketoX2]

XD..

[vguyver2]

trying to make us lose our heads in laughter? Good puns indeed iljonathan.

[accordionsfrommars]

We need more films like this. It's pure bliss.

[mafre029]

this is cinema magic

[daschwah]

Goddamn, that's a gorgeous shot. Thanks for posting.

[RexNunc]

LOVE IT

[hydrophone]

Gilliam loves those pullbacks! My favorite moment in Brazil is the dolly out in the cooling tower.

[labouche250]

Thanks - is there any chance of posting the scene when Berthold outruns the bullet and saves the baron's life?

[CountOrlock]

Thank you! Thank you! Before the days of CGI... best authentic pullback scene.

[oceanbelow]

Terry's best work!

[ZeldaQueen64]

One of my favorite movies, right up there with Time Bandits.

[mariachi82]

Amazing movie! Sad is so underrated

[HBPotlood]

Truly fantastic sequence, even when you know the soldiers are stepping into frame to hide the camera tracks.

[eggs07]

I'm not suer the camera is on a dolly \ tracks.. there's a bit of shaking there. Perhaps a steadycam on the back of a vehicle? Either way, the soldiers would have to step in from the side, or else get run over by whatever the camera is being moved by.

[luc444]

Forget the soldiers. He got the horses to move in precisely!

[taylercorrupt]

love this movie SOOOO much.
