Henry V is great its one of those films i thought i wasn't going to enjoy but i really got into it (i was a kid when i first was it) FOR HARRY ENGLAND AND ST GEORGE!!! :duel:
Dull Fact for the day = the 2 sticking up of 2 fingers originates form the 100 years war. When the french captured Englishmen they cut of their bow fingers out of fear for the English Longbows, therefor to taunt the French the English would wave their bow fingers at them.
