Trivia:

During the sparring match between Ananias (Adrian Paul) and George (Rhett Giles), actor Rhett Giles accidentally smacked Adrian Paul with a wooden sword twice - once on the foot, and once in the face, which left a small bruise for several days.

Goofs:

Anachronisms: The colonists appear to be using flintlocks which would not be invented for another 30 years or so, first appearing in France in 1610. Matchlocks were the high-tech weapon of the 16th century.

Amateuristic acting on a lousy story

"Based on facts" is what they write in the beginning of the story..... Well to tell you the truth, I think that even "Lord of the Rings" (which I personally did not like) has more truth than what they are presenting here.

The acting is really bad... I do not believe a single word of Ananias for one moment, when he tells his wife that he loves her etc.... It sounds all like an amateur that is trying to persuade the local drunks in a bar of his honesty...... And even there he would not succeed.

To my humble opinion: this movie is not worth wasting your time on. Maybe fun for children under 10.... but for the rest...... Save the money. Don't rent it or even buy it in the 1 dollar shop. You will regret it.....
