Chorus: O! for a Muse of fire, that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention; A kingdom for a stage, princes to act and monarchs to behold the swelling scene. Then should the war-like Harry, like himself, assume the port of Mars; and at his heels, Leash'd in like hounds, should famine, sword, and fire crouch for employment.

Trivia
The famous London costume house Angels & Bermans provided most of the costumes for the film, just as they had done 45 years earlier for the Laurence Olivier version Henry V. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: During the battle scene, a horseman's sword is seen bending severely when striking another sword, clearly revealing that it is rubber or plastic. See more »Quotes
