Worst brother of all time? Paris of Troy

Poor Hector, and his wife, and his kid. Paris getting his #### wet is apparently worth the loss of a kingdom. Getting mocked in death by Brad Pitt because your bro was horny? WORST BROTHER EVER.

If it wasn’t for kingdom of heaven, I’d want Orlando broom dead.

The movie Troy - Achilles vs Hector fight scene

Here's the movie plot setup...

The day prior to this fight, Hector (King of Troy's oldest Son) was down on the beaches fighting the invading Greeks.

Achilles (the greatest of all Greek warriors) was PO'd with the Greek commander (Agamemnon) and had refused to go ashore and fight. Achilles' young cousin (Patroclus) was eager for his first battle and ended up putting on Achilles' signature armor (pretending to be Achilles) and led a band of invading Greeks onto the beaches of Troy.

Hector saw Patroclus and thinking it was Achilles intentionally went after him - ultimately killing Patroclus. Word got back to Achilles of his cousins death at the hands of Hector and he got very angry... So angry that he went to the front gate of Troy's walled city by himself and stood at the wall calling for Hector to come out and fight (ever heard the expression "Hectoring the crowd").

At this point Hector (played by Eric Bana) had no choice but to go out and fight Achilles (Brad Pitt)....

Not only does Achilles get some sweet family revenge - he ends up "hooking up" with Briseis (Hector's cousin- played by a very fine looking Rose Byrne in the movie)


Overall in the exchange of cousins - Achilles made out like a bandit....



IMO I liked the movie and can recommend giving it a watch...

In Rome. It was awesome I think.

The details are kind of fuzzy
