London,
(ANI):
Russell
Crowe
has
said
that
the
set
of
his
new
epic
Robin
Hood
was
dangerous
–
a
lot
of
people
from
the
crew
ended
up
with
serious
injuries
during
the
shoot.
The
Oscar-winner
plays
the
English
folk
hero
in
Sir
Ridley
Scott's
adaptation
of
the
classic
tale,
which
also
stars
Cate
Blanchett
as
Maid
Marion.
The
movie
includes
several
high-action
battle
scenes
where
hundreds
of
extras
play
out
fight
sequences
-
and
Crowe
admits
many
of
the
actors
suffered
for
their
art
on
the
movie
battlefield.
"We
had
15
people
carried
off
a
battlefield
at
one
point.
One
guy
got
his
eye
poked
out
with
a
pike.
Another
guy
broke
an
arm
and
a
leg
falling
off
a
horse.
The
scale
of
it
is
enormous...
In
this
film
you
had
130
horses
doing
a
full-speed
gallop
charge
into
600
guys
on
the
ground.
Every
man
on
a
horse
did
half-a-dozen
fight
moves
before
spinning
around
and
coming
back," The
Daily
Express
quoted
the
actor
as
telling
the
Mirror.
Crowe
revealed
that
everyone
including
the
director
himself
was
involved
in
the
action
scenes.
"Ridley
jumped
into
the
waves
and
grabbed
this
15-ton
barge
with
both
hands,
bum,
knee
and
all,
and
starts
trying
to
push
it
out
of
the
shot.
When
it
was
clear
he
was
not
going
to
win
his
lone
battle
against
the
barge
he
looked
back
at
the
beach
and
said,
'Well,
what
are
you
waiting
for?'
That's
leadership," Crowe
added.
