But I don't imagine that anyone really wanted to show that in the films.

This is very true of wearing, or should I say not wearing, the belted plaid. In use during the early Jacobite rebellion, the belted plaid was commonly stripped off before a charge. But, I will say that when I was with the re-enactment group, The Reddshanks, I had no trouble charging in my belted plaid, but we didn't engage in serious close combat, either.
