Well to be fair, they ran out of money for both a bridge battle and a castle battle and inaccurate face paint.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

The "Kata" on the pic looks more like some of the Germanisc Iron Age offshots we know best from the Wendel graves in Sweden.
And the Russel Crowe Robin Hood film did not feel they had money to get some proper re-enactors over (us) to do the fighting scenes and big battles. They apparently believe the travel expenses plus standard wage for 50 Danes and 100+ Brits working in UK would make the film go bust.
