armour from "Excalibur" (the movie)

[James Arlen Gillaspie]

The 'Elvises'? Ugo, you nailed it. Henceforth, let all haute pieces that wrap around too far be known as the ELVISES! "Man, that suit's got Elvis syndrome..."

Yes, I did indeed finish the other gauntlet. I hope to put up pictures here, as soon as I figure out how.

Hi Folks,

Just thought that I would fill in a few details on the Excalibur armour if I may.Terry and his then partner Peter Leicht,made eighty suits of armour for this film in just three months ! , plus all the principle actors gear too,Helen Mirrens breastplate,Merlins skull cap etc.and of course Excalibur itself.

Russ,

Thanks for the information. An amazing feat in three months! Particularly in light of some of the rubbish that Hollywood has churned out since then.

Regards
