K I don't want to stupid stupid but are there good fight scenes in this movie and how many are there?
Like does Henry "show his scars"?
I don't know, filmed shakespeare normally turns out a bit boring for me, so I want to know about fights!
Also how does this match up to Richard III

I reckon that one of Olivier's best fight scenes was the duel in Hamlet. So suspenseful!
"You watched it, you can't un-watch it!"
Yes the sequence of the battle of Agincourt might not be seen as great by today's standards, but on the whole they are amoung some of the most exciting ever on film, especially for the time. The French army on the horses advancing to the english slowly trotting and then developing into a full blown gallop are full of suspense and can be quite nerving.

I think Olivier lifted that mounted knight scene from Eisenstein's "Alexander Nevsky". No matter. It worked well in both.
