If this scene is included on any DVD release, I'm not aware of it. This was in the original network broadcast. This scene may not be necessary, but it's interesting to see the magistrate figure out the reason for Wallace's actions. I like longer versions of movies whenever I can get them.

All these people looking up information online...

"Now we have no say in your laws but scotish MP's get a say in ours" Then campaign for English devolution. It took us 100 years but Westminster is so dominated by English members that should they wish it no one could stop them - and no one would want to stop them anyway.

There is no actual record of this supposed law ever taking place in Scotland. It is Hollywood fiction. The subject is not present in the Scottish source material which Braveheart is based on. In the epic Scottish poem (itself not that factually correct) Marion is killed by a blow of a sword as she attempts to block the door against English soldiers who are looking for Wallace whilst he is exiting the building from another door. He then declares than 10,000 will die for her death.

The law that lords could sleep with brides was applicable to all of Englands subjects. We are so sorry you scottish dicks! We were as oppressed as you lot. Now we have no say in your laws but scotish MP's get a say in ours. Stop whining on with this inaccurate movie and realise you are getting to move on.

@357MagnumBob By the reference "....and he was a tall drink of water" did you mean he was a 'lanky streak of piss" - using the vernacular?

@doug625ut i have been looking for it. And there is a blu ray extended version with the extended scenes. I finally found it, you can get it on amazon.co.uk. Since they didnt show the 150 min of the never-before-seen content US theatrically. You can get it on that website. Braveheart blu ray UK 1995. Stay on them though, through shipping it may get lost. :)

Actually the "Sutherland" clan that lives on the north end of Scotland is from off-island, and as their names suggest, they come from a land to the north, making Scotland "Southern-land." My Sunday School teacher growing up was a Sutherland and he was a tall drink of water, not at all like other Scots, though he claimed Scottish heritage. (This wasn't the main topic, thankfully we generally discussed far more important issues than that!)

This is a good scene and I didn't see the commander / magistrate's strategizing to get Wallace in the original VCR.

that there is absolutely no evidence that it was in fact the case. Seems about as scientific as 19thC skull measuring!

@ehmunro Actually people interpret genetic results in different ways! Goldstein who carried out genetic sampling stated that any differences were so small that they couldn't constitute a them and us scenario. Plus there was no base sample to use any findings against. For instance in the Goldstein study to look at any change they started from the viewpoint that an oriignal population in the east of Britain had the same genetic markers as people in the middle of modern Ireland.
