For my review of this movie, I will only discuss the second half of this movie because that’s the only part i saw. Underestimating this movie is a grand mistake, but not a bad path to take. I will be making up my review for the complete first half of the movie I missed.

Knight’s Tail is a movie about some peasant guy that somehow becomes a knight using some random name. Presumably this new name makes people think that he is an actual knight and not a peasant. William Thatcher, the peasant, begins his journey to Oz- I mean to knighthood by following an oddly colored brick road that stems from his peasant village. He encounters many things new to him on his way, such as bathrooms, money, education, and public decency. He makes friends with three or so other people on this journey, I honestly cannot remember who they are let alone the number because of their overwhelming insignificance in the second half of the film. They probably help guide him on his journey or at least teach him some morals that a peasant normally would not know. Eventually William steals a knight named Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein from Gelderland, Liechtenstein and Gelderland have no correlation with each other and are about 800 kilometers apart. My name is Jason von Loudoun County from Ontario, see how ridiculous that sounds from general knowledge. Of course the other peasants won’t know this due to the lack of education, but that can’t be helped, it’s too late for them. After participating in lancing tournaments using his false name, William follows the generic medieval plot line and falls in love with a random noble girl. If this movie is historically accurate, she is under 18 years old and the police should be knocking on Heath Ledger’s front door. However let’s just assume that she is not under 18 for the sake of respect on Heath Ledger for his role as a comedian in a different movie about some orphaned kid obsessed with bats. Later on he tries to locate or find out more about his father, turns out he lives like 20 minutes away and he is still alive. While visiting his father, a person of respect witnesses him go to the peasant village and accuses him of being poor. He is poor, therefore he can’t afford a good lawyer to represent him in court. Due to the laws of the land, he is appointed a lawyer, however this lawyer is fresh out of school, barely passed the bar exam and has no experience in court. It goes very poorly, and it is found out that William is not a true knight and that he has been using a false name. He is given the death penalty, and while awaiting execution in his very spacious cell he is beaten up by a different knight. The day has come for him to be executed, the crowd is waiting (I would say that they’re on the edge of their seats, but they are too poor to afford chairs so they have to stand), William is on his knees and his unmemorable friends are in shock; when all of the sudden the King’s son removes his cape in an anime fashion, yells out “Kore wa naga sugiru”, unsheathes his katana and his eyes begin to glare. He performs a fifty strike combo and executes everyone in the village except for William, he stands in front of him sword pointing into the ground, cape billowing behind him, the bodies of his foes scattered around him. Which is how I wish it happened as it would have been more exciting and called for a better ending. Instead he just stops the execution very plainly, he then knights William and allows him to finish the tournament. William faces his greatest opponent and in that moment he awakens his sharingan, revealing his opponent’s attack pattern and William is able to predict every move. William pokes his opponent first, knocking him off his horse and wins the tournament, and kisses the noble girl. The credits then roll, showcasing the directors that will never make another movie in their life.
