Crap archery in Helen of Troy
This film continues to be a mine of errors, and there were so many on archery, that I thought I could do a whole video on this one subject. On the speed of arrows, I was assuming the belly of the horse to be 12 feet above the archers. The first arrow to arrive took 20 frames to get there, which is 4, 5 second (PAL 25 frames per second), and 5, 4 of 12 is 15, so they were travelling at about 15 feet per second. On opposed landings, I could give the example of the British liberation of the Falkland Islands.
