BONUS: Waterloo (1970)

Wouldn't A bud light sponsored battle be called waterbrew?

Ok, this came out before the "no animals were harmed in the making of this picture". This movie is incredible, but any clue how many horses died making this thing?

We need a James Garfield biopic written by the Zoo Crew!

Well that the Napoleon May as well came out in 2003

Next: Time Bandits.

Fun fact: De Laurentiis’ nephew owns Napoli SSC, winners of the Italian Serie A last year, and he is an absolute certified madman

Imagining a British guy wearing a top hat like an Eldar helmet and speaking in riddles to the French. Farseer Sharpe

I think the funniest note on the wiki was that they commanded the troops via walkie talkie which is like up there on the list of "What one thing would you bring back in time with you" commanding linear formations via radio is funny

If you read about the American revolution you can’t help but notice how many dudes get listed as “missing” after every battle. I’m pretty sure “just fucking leg it” was what everyone was thinking.

Joe could do a Kill James Bond style series just about Napoleon media and never run out

This was a horrible episode on Abba

Also unpopular opinion: Napoleon III was a sh*tty autocrat but still better than his uncle Napoleon I. He ruled for a longer time, made sure France and England would never fight again for the next 150 years (not including the 1940-1944 Vichy France episode), his empire legislated the workers' right to form unions and to go on strike and left France in a better demographic and economic state, even despite the loss of Alsace/Lorraine and the payment of heavy war reparations. Also, had Napoleon died in Egypt in 1798, France would have been in far better shape by 1815. At worst the Republic still loses and the monarchy is restored a bit earlier same result, less deaths. But thanks to that cunning bastard (foreign minister) Talleyrand, it would have kept its 1792 borders (like at the 1814 Paris treaty), with less dead young men. When Napoleon comes back in 1815 to get stomped at Waterloo, France loses even more lands, money and men as a result. But at least we got Victor Hugo poetry and a big budget soviet movie. Good job everybody! And all the scientific/administrative progress made during the 1st Empire would have been made nonetheless. For example, the best parts of the Napoleonic Code weren't written by him but by French jurists under the direction of Cambaceres (who were already at work during the Revolution). Napoleon's biggest contribution to "his" code was the misogynistic articles making women second-class citizens.

Correction: Rod Steiger was also a d*ck to his co-stars. Like during the shooting of Dr Jivago where Julie Christie slaps him he slapped her back for real but this second slapping wasn't even in the script. In the first kissing scene he aslo put his tongue in her mouth. As a result, when you see Julie Christie struggle against him, she's struggling for real. No wonder why he got divorced 4 times.

this movie is the best argument for male conscription .

Embarrassed by how much I like the homies drop at 1.5x

Actually, had Napoleon won at Waterloo, he probably would have managed to hold on, as the winter of 1815/1816 lasted 14 months due to the supervolcano explosion of April 1815.

Literally watching it right now lol

My buddies literally just did a watch party of this 😍

I feel like you've mentioned this film on every Sharpe show episode.
