Line 39:
* [[Fisher King]]: Arthur
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Merlin, in a creepy kind of way -- crows tend to show up when he's near.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Patrick Stewart]] as Leondegrance; [[Liam Neeson]] as Gawain; Gabriel Byrne as Uther.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Perceval
* [[Interplay of Sex and Violence]]: Truces and friendships are broken, wars and plagues are started because of sex. {{spoiler|The slow death of the Duke of Cornwall, [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|impaled on a row of spears]], interspersed with the scene of Uther, disguised as Cornwall, having sex with Igraine, is quite iconic.}}
Line 68:
* [[Rule of Cool]]: Mordred's golden armor -- and generally, knights wearing their plate armors outside of battle whenever they can.
* [[Shapeshifting Seducer]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: Several, notably (and surprisingly) to ''[[Star Wars]] ''(just watch the first sequence between Arthur and Merlin in the woods, or the fight between Lancelot and his {{spoiler|[[Enemy Without]]}}), and (less surprisingly) to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' (as Boorman's original project was indeed to adapt the later, before he switched to Arthurian myths:
{{quote| '''Arthur''': Merlin. Your wisdom has forged this ''ring''. Hereafter, so that we remember our bonds, we shall always come together in a circle to hear and tell of deeds good and brave. I will build a round table where this ''fellowship'' shall meet.}}
* [[Sentient Cosmic Force]]: The Dragon.
