Awesome / First Knight

Go To

  • Lancelot beating The Gauntlet with ease.
  • The final scene were Arthur roars his final command for his knights and his people to stand up to Malagant and his evil horde once and for all. The final battle ensues with a quite badass dramatic chorus in the backround. The Good Guys Win.
    Arthur: (as he kneels) "I am Arthur of Camelot, and I command you now all. . .(As the camera pans across the disheartened crowd, the smug, triumphant Malagant, and the tearful Guinevere) (he rises) To fight! Fight like you've never fought before! Never surrender! Never Surrender! Fight as you never—(he is shot by one of Malagant's men as Guinevere screams) Camelot lives!
    • Special mention goes to a particular scene. One knight grappling with one of Malagant's men calls for a sword. An ally of his is also fighting and can't spare his weapon. So he uses his foot to toss a sword to his friend. He doesn't kick it, he lifts into the air and tosses it with his foot.
    • Those are some incredibly loyal citizens of the city who deeply love and respect their king. When Malagant orders Arthur to kneel before him, a man in the crowd can be heard angrily yelling "NO!" Then, as the chaos begins, another can be heard screaming, "Fight! Fight for Camelot!" When it ends, someone else can be heard declaring, "Camelot will never surrender to the tyranny of Malagant!"
    • That the unarmed, untrained townspeople could defeat Malagant's army is pretty impressive itself.
  • Special mention goes to the impressive score by Jerry Goldsmith; this is probably his most Leitmotif heavily-laden score that he had ever composed. The way he interwove "Arthur's theme" & "Lancelot's theme" and made them distinctively recognizable is one of Goldsmith's great skill not only as a composer but as a master storyteller as well.
