Is Your Favorite Movie Historically Accurate?

Braveheart (1995)

It looks like Mel Gibson is back with the historically inaccurate epic movies! Here he is again in Braveheart, where he dons a kilt and adopts a Scottish accent. So, while William Wallace was a Scotsman who rebelled against the king, were other parts accurate? Let’s take a look.

There’s a moment in the movie where Wallace uses nunchucks at the battle, which were never used in Medevil Scotland. Also, the famous last fight on Stirling bridge should have taken place, well, on a bridge.
