This scene was filmed in
one day in the Jura
Mountains in Switzerland
with over 700 volunteer
extras and more than 30
donated horses. An in-depth
look at this scene can be
found in the Tribute section.
The Battle Scene
Many of the major props used
in this movie were constructed
for no cost by a couple of
volunteer carpenters and
craftsmen. They provided the
printing press and even the
important camera crane. Many
thanks to Josue and Denis
Hirschler, who worked with Set
Construction Supervisor, Chuy
Carrera.
