Actually it’s a rather stupid line. There is always something more when it comes to indebtedness. The fact that Montrose gave him a chance to better himself means he is owed a lot more than the loan.
@@doriangray2020 It may be a naive line but it's an honourable straight dealing one. Montrose is a twisted manipulator and plotter. What you are suggesting is that corruption is acceptable. Does a person owe a mortgage lender more than the loan and agreed interest because it allowed them to 'better' themselves by buying a house? Do they owe it something that had not been part of the initial bargain but is sprung on them afterwards? Do they owe it a 'duty' to commit a criminal act on their behalf?
@@heliotropezzz333 you clearly don’t understand the situation and thus your “mortgage” analogies are irrelevant. He received a loan…which would give him a means to repay and better himself. He lost the funds and cannot repay. That is a default. If you can’t pay your mortgage the bank will ultimately foreclose. The fact that Montrose offered him a way to repay without losing his land and going to debtors prison is a choice anyone and everyone would take. The movie is pure fantasy in this case. I suggest you focus more on proper interpretation rather than spewing gibberish.

Roth makes this film. You want to decapitate his twisted evil character, he plays it so well. Excellent actor, and that’s taking nothing away from Liam Neeson who can’t make a bad film.
And yet as vile as Archibald is he's also human. You understand his utter desperation in an era where there was no safety net, people routinely starved to death, and he had no social position, property, community, family, or trade to fall back on.

Always loved driving past Rob Roy’s statue as a wee lad, hidden near a river where he supposed jumped it to escape his enemies! Aberdeen and Scotland truly the best places on earth!
As a historian of the period, this movie is one of the best costumed, acted and structured on Scotland during the early 1700s. It really should be better regarded than Braveheart which I do appreciate sentimentally as a Scotsman but is woefully confused about its setting at times.
Great story. Great acting. PHENOMENAL script (with oft genuinely laugh-out-loud funny lines we'll all agree). This picture never gets old. Genuinely outstanding. It should be far better known than it is.
It was up against Braveheart that year. One way or another the best film would have gone to Scotlands heroes. No shame in losing to Braveheart, both are powerful stories. One of Scotlands fight for independence and the other a question of a singular man’s moral code. Both classics
I'm afraid the story doesn't bear that much relation to the truth. Though there was a real Rob Roy MacGregor, and he did owe money to the Duke (not Marquis as in the film) of Montrose (played here by John Hurt), and had a feud with Montrose, the details are all quite different from the circumstances of this film. It's true that the Duke of Argyll (played in the film by Andrew Keir) did negotiate an amnesty for him, but that was in 1716, and was amnesty for his and his father's having fought in the Jacobite uprising of 1689, and was in no way related to Rob Roy's feud with Montrose, which began later. MacGregor was eventually forced to surrender and was imprisoned in 1722. He was pardoned in 1727.
@@Hibernicus1968 Glad you explained that. From what I've read about Rob Roy, it didn't match this movie storyline. Well, the Scots are always portrayed in a heroic, romantic light.
Love how calm Archibald stays with the dagger to his chin. Tense, but calm. You can really guess how he just waits for one little opportunity to get out of the situation and overwhelm his enemy. Love this character.
While at the same time it's clear that he's fully aware that the guy he's dealing with isn't messing about, and will cut his throat if he slips up. For me it's a sign that Archibald is a dangerous man clearly recognising that Rob is another. I think he recognised Rob was not the usual supplicant when Rob spotted him going for his sword while still talking to Montrose.

Great scene in a movie full of great scenes. No one has ever played a better Caligula than John Hurt. And here, his Montrose, is magnificently malevolent.
I have always loved the talk Rob gives to his sons when he says 'Honour is the gift man gives to himself' I have always been honourable whenever possible but it is a very hard path to follow sometimes, especially in this world, Unfortunately in my experience, there is precious little of it in this life
Notice also how that pip squeak made sure to tire out Rob Roy during the fight (rapier vs claymore), and was defeated by Rob Roy performing an unusual move.

His skills are pretty freakin legendary. He's practically a shapeshifter. He became my favorite actor after I saw this, then Reservoir Dogs. Really showcased his versatility, as he was able to play a character I developed a crush on in the latter, and a detestable pig in this one (honestly, I get a weird high when watching him get hewn in half during the final duel lol). Basically, he's criminally underrated and underappreciated.
I thought about this scene last night while I was watching “The Ice Road.” I love Liam Neeson’s conveyor belt action movies but sometimes I miss the guy who swung for the fences.
I may be alone in this opinion, but I have thought since the year they both came out in theaters, that Rob Roy is superior to Braveheart (the Oscar winner for Best Picture). Rob Roy was an underrated film.
Braveheart is a ridiculous movie that makes the Scots and William Wallace look like heroes, when in actual fact they were just as bad as the English. It’s also way too Hollywood-esq with how clean and beautiful everyone is despite the fact that it’s the shithole Middle Ages in Britain
@@drfabulous2804 I think the movie actually made people look far less advanced than they were actually in the Middle Ages. The scots had the same technology, armour and weapons as the English.
@@John-ob7dh Interesting about the Braveheart nickname, I didn’t know that. In any case, I think Rob Roy was just the better movie. Also, I wish that Robert the Bruce would get his own major film, and not be made a background character like he was in “Braveheart”.
The actors (and actress) are all wonderful, but Liam Nelson is the best. Tim Roth is also the most excellent bad guy. I love this movie. It seems real, so unlike the Gibson flick that made more money and showcased Mel's antics.
dehdeh55, yeah, this really was better than Braveheart, and Tim Roth was one of the greatest movie villains I've ever seen. Right up there with the best.
I like that Arcibald, a dangerous fellow, recognises in MacGregor another such chap. He knows not to lightly trifle with him, especially after MacGregor spots him slowly reaching for the sword. You can practically hear him mentally shouting at Montrose to let MacGregor go.
Not really. He still thinks MacGregor is a big slow lad whose honour would hinder him from refusing custody. He knows that he's wrong only _after_ this meeting, but if he knew not to lightly trifle with him, he wouldn't have swaggered up with his sword sheathed. He'd have spotted or suspected the dagger in the cap, and he'd have approached with far more caution.
The Jacobites were a group of mostly Scottish people in the late 17th and 18th centuries, who believed that the Catholic James VII of Scotland (James II of England) and his Stuart descendants should be restored to the throne of Scotland and England.
When I was ten and surrounded by grown relatives in kilts, I was really interested in the sgian dubh each had. I'd already heard the myth that goes with many cultures about their blades that they have to draw blood once unsheathed (bullshit). What I got back was that if they ever did use them, they are the perfect size for slicing melons like canteloupe. My parents let me have my own a short while later and back then I could have that on me in public as a preteen and people would look once but wouldn't stare and freak out.
It wasn't about whether the Duke of Argyll actually was a Jacobite, which he evidently wasn't. Rob Roy simply refused to perjure himself to cause another man's downfall, regardless if the man in question was a Jacobite or a supporter of German George.
@?,?, Montrose etc were all Scottish nobility going back to the middle ages and earlier. The Jacobite wars were mostly about religion. The Presbyterian covenanters and the Anglican English hated having a Catholic monarch so they jumped at the chance to support a Dutch protestant who was married to the King's aunt who was also a protestant. So they overthrew the king. The mostly Catholic clans supported the Catholic Stuart king.
The film is so underrated it’s actually very intelligent the plot and the acting is brilliant. The script is great as well. Deserves a higher mark then what it got. Unfortunately Braveheart came out around the same time so cast a shadow over it.
Braveheart was historically inaccurate all the way through. Mel Gibson tried to make a Mel Gibson epic based on a legend and had the wrong weapons, costumes and dialect. It is a good film but not nearly as good as Rob Roy.
Haven't you seen an American playing a Mongol, or a King of Siam, or an American playing a Viking or a Thracian slave or Americans playing Romans or Robin Hood? There's a lot of it about you know. It's called acting.
RIP John Hurt! I will always love your voice and acting!

I think the movie actually made people look far less advanced than they were actually in the Middle Ages. The scots had the same technology, armour and weapons as the English.
Yes ,I always thought the name of the film Braveheart was stupid as that is the name given to Robert the Bruce King of Scotland ,not William Wallace.
@@John-ob7dh Interesting about the Braveheart nickname, I didn’t know that. In any case, I think Rob Roy was just the better movie. Also, I wish that Robert the Bruce would get his own major film, and not be made a background character like he was in “Braveheart”.
This is one magnificent film....
And along walks Archibald.... knowing all along that he has put McGregor in this situation.
And Killearn, knowing he put Archibald up to it.
Rare to see four such powerhouse actors in the same scene!
He has a very particular set of skills.
An absolute classic move, I really like the cast, some of the giants of the acting world.
The actors (and actress) are all wonderful, but Liam Nelson is the best. Tim Roth is also the most excellent bad guy. I love this movie. It seems real, so unlike the Gibson flick that made more money and showcased Mel's antics.
I think the Marquess is amazing.... so evil!
The acting is freakin perfect and so are the dialogues
SuspiciouslyDLicious
The great John Hurt. RIP
dehdeh55, yeah, this really was better than Braveheart, and Tim Roth was one of the greatest movie villains I've ever seen. Right up there with the best.
@aboctok what a hater, Braveheart is a masterpiece, get bent.
Four world-class actors in this scene.
Fantastic script and acting.
That wonderful year 1995 - when two great films RR and BH came to our multiplex cinemas.
Why would Archibald with his 30" rapier get so close?
Because plot.
Because he had no respect for Rob and didn't consider him a threat. Arrogance being his undoing was a theme of the movie.
90's movies really were something.
I like that Arcibald, a dangerous fellow, recognises in MacGregor another such chap. He knows not to lightly trifle with him, especially after MacGregor spots him slowly reaching for the sword. You can practically hear him mentally shouting at Montrose to let MacGregor go.
Not really. He still thinks MacGregor is a big slow lad whose honour would hinder him from refusing custody. He knows that he's wrong only _after_ this meeting, but if he knew not to lightly trifle with him, he wouldn't have swaggered up with his sword sheathed. He'd have spotted or suspected the dagger in the cap, and he'd have approached with far more caution.
For some reason this is my favourite scene from the movie
Tim Roth was incredible in this role
I love this scene, CAN you imagine the work that went into this garden ? hand shearing everything.
You didn't see the guy with the weed whacker in the background?
The Jacobites were a group of mostly Scottish people in the late 17th and 18th centuries, who believed that the Catholic James VII of Scotland (James II of England) and his Stuart descendants should be restored to the throne of Scotland and England.
Thank you for the explanation.
And now they have a Germanic bloodline and transylvanian bloodline ruling them in England
The Lamont clan too backed the Jacobites
@@samueladams1775 Well the Transylvania bloodline (courtesy of Queen Mary) is very distant but undoubtedly true.
Most irish were jacobites too
The line after this as Rob runs..
"You have slept your last peaceful night Mcgregor" "you and yours"
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
IT'S SO GOOD!
Roy's calm tone of voice and demeanor sounds exactly the same as Qui-Gon Jinn😂😂😂.
When I was ten and surrounded by grown relatives in kilts, I was really interested in the sgian dubh each had. I'd already heard the myth that goes with many cultures about their blades that they have to draw blood once unsheathed (bullshit). What I got back was that if they ever did use them, they are the perfect size for slicing melons like canteloupe. My parents let me have my own a short while later and back then I could have that on me in public as a preteen and people would look once but wouldn't stare and freak out.
"It's not the child that needs killing" -Rob Roy in my favorite movie line of all time.
And yet the Duke of Argyll helped put down the Jacobite rebellion.
Yeah, well. :\
It wasn't about whether the Duke of Argyll actually was a Jacobite, which he evidently wasn't. Rob Roy simply refused to perjure himself to cause another man's downfall, regardless if the man in question was a Jacobite or a supporter of German George.
In fact he was not a Jacobite, it was just an accusation of Montrouse that despited him
The Campbells of Argyll were Presbyterians, they had no love for the Catholic Stuart kings.
@?,?,
Montrose etc were all Scottish nobility going back to the middle ages and earlier. The Jacobite wars were mostly about religion. The Presbyterian covenanters and the Anglican English hated having a Catholic monarch so they jumped at the chance to support a Dutch protestant who was married to the King's aunt who was also a protestant. So they overthrew the king. The mostly Catholic clans supported the Catholic Stuart king.
John hurts voice could cure the world
Amazing scene. Terrific
I haven't seen this movie since like 20 years ago... it is so damn good.
It is just so funny hearing about them talking about Argayle in this picture, and then the actor behind them is named Argayle in Brave Heart.
An exceptional film.Flawless.
Damn I miss John Hurt!
John Hurt is such a good actor.
Was... unfortunately, was.
@@JSB103 yes indeed :(
You don't mess with Qui Gon Jin
Yes ;-):-P:-P:-P
And yet his Qui-Gon Jinn was embarrassing next to his Rob Roy.
I have always loved this movie. Great story and acting.
The film is so underrated it’s actually very intelligent the plot and the acting is brilliant. The script is great as well. Deserves a higher mark then what it got. Unfortunately Braveheart came out around the same time so cast a shadow over it.
Braveheart was historically inaccurate all the way through. Mel Gibson tried to make a Mel Gibson epic based on a legend and had the wrong weapons, costumes and dialect. It is a good film but not nearly as good as Rob Roy.
@@robertpurdon7161 people keep bringing up Bravehearts historical inaccuracies but looking from a movie point of view it’s a master piece.
Braveheart was not even about Robert the Bruce until really the final scene at Bannockburn in 1415
It was accurate enough
Definitely giving this old tape a roll during this holiday vacation!
Roth was epic as usual 👌
The way he threw him 😂😂
you have slept your last peaceful night macgregor. you and yours....
He is really pissed.
These 4 on the screen together in a wonderfully scripted and carefully crafted scene.
An Irishman playing a Scotsman... now I've seen everything.
In Highlander an American Frenchman played a Scotsman and the Scotsman played an Egyptian pretending to be Spanish. So yeah this is nothing.
Haven't you seen an American playing a Mongol, or a King of Siam, or an American playing a Viking or a Thracian slave or Americans playing Romans or Robin Hood? There's a lot of it about you know. It's called acting.
And all British!
Rob Roy was hiding that little toadsticker under his sleeve ! How sneaky !
