Troy (Achilles Vs Boagrius) 4K 

WTF is this music in the background

Achilles is an example of that employee who is just the best at everything, but hates the management deeply.

"Is there no one else"? 1000 soldiers charge Achilles!

Achilles is the perfect example of "the lion does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep". He is absolutely ready to turn and leave after Agamemnon insults him. Someone else would still have gone headfirst into battle, just to prove that he is not afraid of the giant towering at the other side of the battlefield. But he? He doesn't give a shit what anybody thinks of him. He knows that Boagrius is no match for him and pissing off Agamemnon was far more satisfying for him in that moment than proving his abilities.

Even the horse got scared when Boagrius screamed

That's what happens when you don't wear armor

This scene was very well done from a historical standpoint (notwithstanding the fact that Achilles had supernatural powers). In Homer's day, it was routine for a champion from each side of the battle to fight it out rather than having the entire army slaughter each other. Furthemore, the sequence of events was also very specific. Each champion would throw their spear first and then charge to meet with sword vs sword. That sequence in the movie wasn't done by accident, that's exactly how Homer described it in the Iliad.

Bodybuilding vs. Calisthenics

R.I.P. Boagrius, loving father of 3, founder of a shelter for homeless kittens.

I would have loved to have seen Agememnon call in Ajax instead of Achilles. It would have been a much closer fight. Achilles was too overpowered.

Achilles:"Imagine a King who fights his OWN wars"

I love how angry Achilles is throughout this scene - not angry at Boagrius but rather his entire situation of having to be there and serve a king who he doesn't think is worthy of the title

“Is their no one else?!”

Fun fact: Since this movie was before crazy Avengers CGI tech, Brad Pitt actually had to kill the guy to make it look real. He did 8 retakes. RIP.

Achiles: "Is there no one else?"

I love how Achilles doesn’t even turn to look back, just runs through him then walks straight to call the rest of the army out 😂

"Imagine a King who fights his own battles.

1:46

"Think how many songs they'll sing in your honor", that was the line that sold him on the fight.

I'll never forget watching this the first time. This is the first action sequence of the film, so I expected it to set the tone of the film. All the familiar suspense-building tropes were in place: the introduction of a hulking opponent, achillies can't be found, then the scene with the kid playing up the uncertainty. So, by the time Achilles arrives at the battlefield, Having grown up on big, sword-fight sequences, with a full 5-minutes of buildup, I was anticipating some epic, choreagraphed, 2-3 minute, Gladiator/star wars-style, David vs Goliath type fight..
