God, I wish these movies has bigger budgets. >You lost the King's colors!!! How did this happen, you had 5 horsemen and 10 riflemen, half the British army!!!
>>212821639 It'd be nice to see more than 20 extras in a "battle" but the acting and writing and generally comfiness hard carries the show. To me the battle scenes are the worst parts because nothing interesting is happening in them.
>Cheesy 80s guitar mixed with fife and drum intro plays >Small skirmish between the British and French >Sharpe flailing his sword around while Hagman gives cover fire >They win the skirmish >Messenger on horseback approaches >"Lieutenant/Captain/Major Sharpe, you are summoned to Lord Wellington's tent" >"Bloody 'sell Patrick, what's 'e want now" >Sharpe arrives in old Nosey's tent >His spymaster of the day is there >As is a weasel looking British officer or French lord >"Sharpe, this is Lord Fucksworth, who has a dangerous mission for you - you will be enormously outnumbered, deep behind enemy lines with no support, oh and Major Ducos is around so watch out for him >Lord Fucksworth insults him for being a poorfag but reluctantly accepts that this is Wellington's best man >"As ye like sir, Ah'll get it dun" >Cut to Sharpe and Patrick discussing the mission >"It dun maek bloody sense Patrick, why do they need us to tek this castle/find this woman/get these supplies/uncover this plot" >"Oh surely as the fields o' Ireland are green, sir, God has a plan for us, sir" >A few battles happen on the way to the objective >Oh look it's an attractive young woman who keeps looking at Sharpe suggestively >They fuck >"Look Patrick! It's the thing we're here for!" >"LOOK OUT SIR" >Lord Fucksworth appears and betrays Sharpe >Ducos appears >"HON HON HON! Bamboozled you again my nemesis" >"Bloody Ducos" >Battle happens >Patrick goes "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH BANG" with the 7 barrelled gun >Wellington arrives >"Well done Sharpe! You've done it again" >Sharpe and his men march into the sunset >THERE'S FORTY SHILLINGS ON THE DRUM...FOR THOSE WHO VOLUNTEER TO COME...
Come with me, my lads, for this is Obidiah's thread now and it cannot die. It's going to live forever, for they tried to ban me once but could not do it.
>>212830048 Looking forward to his Indian adventures.
But seriously, not to sound too triggering for the chud, but Sharpe is pretty inclusive in its themes - he advances because of merit and not nepotism, he's not hateful to the Irish, he hates the French, etc.
>>212831087 Oh he'll happily murder Englishmen, or really anyone who gets in his way because he doesn't really give a fuck about anything other than surviving whatever bullshit Wellington dropped him into this time
