Armor in movies.

[Sarigar]

In Saving Private Ryan the soldier who takes his helmet off in the opening sequence. Of course he takes it off and gets shot in the head, again.

 

[Someone]

IIRC, Jean Reno´s character in Les Visiteurs (don´t know the neglish title) is hit by a greataxe that only dents his breastplate.

 

[Hypersmurf]

Now I don't know if they were also referring to Ledger's fancy ultru-thin armor...

Swoosh!

I remember being surprised by the "A shield... how quaint." comment.

I'd always thought shields were standard for tourney jousting...

I believe it`s "the Visitors".
By the way, I wonder: Is there a french original and an american remake with the same main actors?
