Wow, Sean is tough: the horse's hoof hit him (causing a black eye & a bad neck) but it could have killed him. That's why you have stunt performers! To stay in character, not knowing if he was badly injured, was really impressive. Less impressive is Harper dunking his musket! No powder (or it's sodden), wet pan, calls himself a Rifleman?! Not long after Sharpe's got it...but it's highly unlikely to work!
@@bezukaking6860 Technically correct, the Cavalry Staff Corps (Provosts) wore red, but, Sharpe depicts them in blue, for some reason, it's also known that Provosts originally wore their cavalry uniforms, and Enlisted Provost Troopers, Corporals and Sergeants, carried Carbines, so they're easily confused with Dragoons unless you know what to look for (the Corps was also referred to as the Dragoon Staff Corps) but despite the uniform problem I believe he's meant to be a Provost nonetheless.
@@konstantinosnikolakakis8125 these are not provosts but the local militiamen. as Girdwood's operation is not a real active battalion he likely has no members of the Provost actually serving with him.

I just read about the hoof injury, in an interview with Bean and found out Paul McGann was originally given the role, but hurt himself playing football ( soccer) he tried working through the pain during Sharpe's rifles but his doctor said he was making it worse , so he had to pull out to recover. So Sean Bean got the job, i can't imagine McGann or anyone else playing Sharpe .
Members of Sharpe and Harper's regiment, the South Essex. Sharpe wanted to avoid killing them if possible, especially since he needed reinforcements to take back to the 1st Battalion for the invasion of France.
@@SouthLondonForever He is supposed to be given this regiment to command. But when he shows up to the fort there is a skeleton crew of men and no regiment to be found. That leads him here, undercover to get to the bottom of where his unit disappeared too.
In the book the stake was the target when Harper was supposedly safe, and he had two minutes before they came after him on his way to it. Also Simmerson wasn't there.
Im not asking this because i cant understand accents, i am from the UK, its more that he says it so quick and shouts it. What does he say to harper at 1:35 ? Sharpe says "No dammit they're (something)" and Harper replies "They dont know that do they"
Wait a minute is the British officer leading this human hunting party is he the same actor that played Snidley Whiplash on the live action Dudley Do Wright movie?
Sean Bean dies so often in film because it's a novelty for him as in invulnerable immortal. Gets up, quick as you like ,after getting stepped on by a horse.
YT has hit me with two dozen of these Sharpe clips. I saw the one where the guy with the handlebar mustache loses his mind in the river crossing. I saw the one where the over-acting gray haired guy is dying in bed and is delirious. Hard to even guess what the timeline could be where this scene happens.
I was going to say the same thing about the horse, It must've hurt when it stepped on Sharpe's head , I'm pretty sure it was Sean Bean and not a stunt man , Yet he pops up & carries on like nothing happened, I'm surprised he wasn't injured ⚔
I have a lot of experience with shovels and some experience with horses. You are not going to sweep guy off of a horse by smacking him with a shovel, but hey, it's just a movie.
This scene doesn't make big sense to me. When riders are pursuing Harper or Sharp, don't they watch their target and see to which ditch he just jumped? Or is it: "If we don't see the man, our horses cannot run?"
The terrain looks flat, but it's a series of raised dry parts, where the horses can move, and boggy lower parts, where they'd get stuck. Harper and Sharpe are letting themselves be spotted on the upper causeways, then dropping down into concealment and still moving. The riders lose sight, and have to keep scurrying about on the broken terrain as they spot the two, only to lose sight again.
@@eldorados_lost_searcher I'll vouch for that. It was filmed on sea marshes just outside the sea wall of the island. The crust would not take the weight of a horse, indeed in an earlier scene, we were all standing there mounted, and my horses feet, all four broke the crust, wend down like an express lift !. Surprised it never turned up on an out-take, as the camera man did say it was caught on film.

Thats what I thought, credit to him for still rolling with it.
Another 6 inches and we woulda never had him filling all his great roles.
Bean was also hurt when filming the final fight in Patriot Games. Harrison Ford cut him by accident.
The only acting where Sean been nearly actually Died.
Ironically Sean Bean could have died...
3:04 you can see the horse actually step on Sean Bean's head, and he just carries on with the scene.
Now that's acting
No, the horse does not step on his head, the hoof whacks him in the head as the horse jumps over.

They address this later when Sharpe's pistol fails to fire due to wet powder
You see dude get head ran over by horse? That is Soldering! 3:05
3:04 was the moment when the Horse sealed Sean Bean's fate in every role he is in afterwards
Later in the first gulf war, Sharpe was in command of a small SAS patrol. He made an incredible escape all the way across Iraq to Syria.
Clever bloke, considering he was killed by Orcs thousands of years ago...

Fair point..

I'm surprised he wasn't genuinely injured, every time I watch that bit it seems worse ..
Lol at the open mouthed red coat standing behind Harper at 0:50. That guy was getting into his role. Almost forgot.... That's soldering
If only Simmerson knew that's Harper and Sharpe.
Also the scenery also make me feel nostalgia, still can't figure out what.
He'd had chased them harder
You really have to watch this with subtitiles on. "Pepe Pepe he sees it so don't you planning when you reach the steak is when we can feel." Sublime.
Auto-subtitles is hilarious. Watch the PBS Vietnam series, when it's translating Vietnamese as English, so funny you couldn't write it.
3:02 Unintentionally stepped on by a horse only to get back into it right after?
Now that's Sean Beaning

3:04 When an iron-shoe'd horse stomping him under water full force doesn't phase him, your puny punch sure isn't going to.
Henry simmerson showed very uncharacteristic bravery by actually riding towards an enemy instead of away from him/her, for once.
That's me style!
Only because he thought the enemy was unarmed and a raw recruit.

Played them like a fiddle, going around round the swamp land like a game of whack a mole.
You'd think Girdwood, of all people, would know better than to chase Harper into a bog.
Well, I suppose Br'er Rabbit wasn't written yet...

At 3.05 the bank collapsed and the horse actually kick sharpe in the face
