“THIS IS ALGERIA I mean Egypt”.
Blooper from Zach Snyder's "Megiddo", from the scene where Thutmose, played by Gerard Butler, confronts the Kadesh delegation after they insulted him and his kingdom, before drawing his sword on them, leading to a short fight scene. The goof was because the movie was largely filmed in Algeria, and Butler, reportedly, kept mixing up the names on set by accident.
"Megiddo", based on the French Comic of the same name, details the Battle of Megiddo, the oldest recorded battle in history, between the Empire of Egypt, and a coalition of enemies, such as the Canaanites, Kingdom of Kadesh, and the Mitanni. While the movie has been praised for its choreographed fight scenes, especially the highly regarded chariot scenes, and for being a "breath of fresh air" when it comes to Ancient Egypt, portraying the Egyptians as "ferocious warriors and conquerors, not just Pyramid-builders and hieroglyph-makers", it was also widely criticized for its gratuitous violence and sexual imagery, as well as numerous historical inaccuracies (though, contrary to the memes, it is not the lack of armor worn by soldiers on both sides, as body armor was relatively rare during the period depicted). Nonetheless, the impact on pop culture was rather profound, as it resulted in an upswing of depictions of "Medjay", the Nubian Warriors whose commander was portrayed by Peter Mensah, taking a spot alongside the commonly-chosen "Vikings", "Knights", and "Samurai" in various other works.
Initially, Zach Snyder had the idea to adapt a comic about the Spartans and the Battle of Thermopylae, but eventually decided against it, as, by his words, "The 300 Spartans did it already, why retread what's been done before, if you can try something new?".
"Can someone please tell me just what in the world I'm looking at here? Looks like a Jackson Pollock painting."
"Uh, that's China, sir."
