Excalibur. John Boorman, 1981.
😿
Edition screened: Warner DVD, released 1999. English language. Runtime approximately 140 minutes.
Summary: Hunting violence, use of animals’ bodies.
Details:
1) At 1:04:20 Perceval jumps on a rabbit to kill it. Immediately afterward we see the skinned and headless rabbit on a spit over a fire.
2) Merlin enters Morgana’s chamber at 1:26:25, where there are various small animals suspended by ropes, arranged sort of like a spice rack. The animals do not look particularly realistic.
3) Equine battle sequences include mild stunts with horses, but no simulations of horse injuries or deaths.
Really, not much animal violence for a long, aggressive, and visually outrageous film.
