King Jan Sobieski to conquer screens
22.06.2012 18:00
A lavish international production portraying a Polish king’s historic victory at Vienna in 1683 will be shown in cinemas in 50 countries across the world, its director has revealed.
Some 10,000 extras and 3000 horses were used in Italian film-maker Renzo Martinelli’s epic about the Siege of Vienna, a turning-point in European history in which Polish King Jan III Sobieski helped repulse the Ottoman army from the gates of Vienna. […]
“In my opinion, I think that this film could change people’s perceptions of Poland, by showing that it had the best cavalry in the world and saved Europe,” Martinelli said in an interview with the Polish edition of Newsweek magazine.
Scenes for the production were shot at various Polish locations, including the historic residences of Wilanow, Baranow Sandomierski and Lancut. Battlescenes were shot in Romania.
Martinelli is currently working on post-production, with cinematic distribution scheduled for October.Those countries not showing the film in cinemas will be able to screen the production in the format of a five-part television mini-series.
Largest cavalry charge in history, 20,000 plus. What an event to have been involved in.
Wiki will tell you that we should be grateful to Islam because the Turks left their brass musical instruments behind on the battle field and the Europeans were able to play music after that. All Wikis entries on Islam/Europe history seem to have been written by Muslims.
I look forward to the day when we are asked to bleed once more in defence of our nation, our heritage, our culture and our families……..
The muslims have engaged in the most grievous provocations….they have steered a course of injurious arrogance and hostility…….they have diligently cultivated and richly deserve the backlash that now builds across the world….you can feel it in the air, you can smell it on the wind…..and when it arrives it will be breathtaking……it will be magnificent……..once underway…..let us not forget those amongst us whose treason brought us to this point…..

Oh its underway already. Please check back to this site in about 45 mins.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o’erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O’erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill’d with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call’d fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’
1) When is it going to be released on DVD?
2) Historically acccurate films like this need to be made, films that show the west that we can fight back and win. During WWII Churchill had the British film makers make films showing Britain fight previous wars and winning. This effort included the first film version of Henry 5. Support all historically accurate films the show us fighting and winning.
Does anyone have an idea, where I can order this movie on DVD, or where I can download it? Amazon or an ‘Torrent’?
This movie looks very good, and I want to see it.
Death to all Muslim’s who whimper and cry!
This movie is unheard of here in Australia. I will need to scour Amazon for when the title, hopefully the English dubbed version, will be available on DVD. I already have a number of big production Polish history flicks (most those directed by Polish director Jerzy Hoffman) in my library. Being of Polish descent I am keenly awaiting this cinematic feast of this much overlooked (by English speaking historians) moment of Polish history. I recently purchased Batttle for Warsaw 1920 and showed it to my friends who suddenly became enlightened to the fact that Poland saved Europe from the Bolshevik invasion.

A must see flick this one. History repeating itself today, albeit far more subtly…
The significance of 11 September 1683 was obviously not lost on Osama bin liner…
The DVD PLEEEEEASE!!!!
This Polish report emphasizes national heroism, and references to Islam are cleverly avoided…
