Favourite kilted movies...

King Ralph was on in the UK a couple of nights back and yes he does wear a kilt briefly in on of the scenes with one of those long hairy piping sporrans which I don't think that members of the royal family have sported as everyday wear since the days of Queen Victoria. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but remember he was an American, from Vegas no less. Remember the blue sparkly tux he was wearing at the start of the movie? He liked flashy clothes. That sporran would have fit his tastes for sure lol

I have seen the movie several times and have always managed to miss the start!

However one would have thought his Palace staff would have corrected any fashion faux pas :rolleyes:

What is that supposed to mean? I am American AND from Vegas no less. I don't dress up flashy or like elvis. Where do the steriotypes come from. So what if I want to wear a kilt lined with rinestones?

Alright, any ideas where the members of the Dead Elvis Kilt Society can pick up some of those rhinestone sporrans?

Well in this case the steriotype comes from the movie, he was a lounge singer. But at anyrate, Im an American who came from Reno, so I can make all the Vegas sterietypes I want :butt:

Just saw Beowolf and Grendel

Funny thing about it was that Beowolf is played by Gerard Butler, who is from Glasgow, and it was Grendel who was wearing what can only be discribed as a kilt, though it is a wee bit short.

All in all it's a good little independent film, though I wish they had not used ponies, or at least they could have had people who could ride without yanking on the reins all the time.

I watched Mel Brook's Spaceballs - The Movie today as I hadn't seen it for a while.

There is a scene when "Snottie" beams President Skroob at the end of it you can see he is kilted but it's only on for a couple of seconds. I will have to see if I can get a video capture of it!

A great kilted scene in a really bad movie.....Sean Connery in The Avengers. It's almost worth sitting through the dreck of the movie just to see him in full dress!!

A good movie with a bunch of kilts in it is Charge of the Light Brigade, from 1968, starring Sir John Gielgud and Trevor Howard. It isn't until the middle of the movie, when the British forces are landing at Calmita Bay that you see soldiers of the 42nd and 93rd Highlanders (no sign of the 79th that I could see), cavorting about in kilts. There is also a decent rendering of the Battle of the Heights of Alma, with the 42nd leading the charge up the hill, although it does show Major General Sir John Colin Campbell wearing the bonnet badge of the 93rd. Oh well, one can't have everything, I suppose!
