    • Trivia
      Mel Gibson initially turned down the role of William Wallace, as he felt he was too old for the part. However, Paramount Pictures would only finance the film if Gibson played the lead role, so he agreed.
    • Goofs
      During the last battle, two soldiers just stop fighting and laugh at what is going on.
    • Quotes

      William Wallace: Every man dies, not every man really lives.

    • Crazy credits
      With the exception of the title of the movie, there are no opening credits.
    • Alternate versions
      When the film was originally released, the final voice over tells us that the Scots "won their freedom... forever." The "forever" was deleted for the re-release and other future editions. It can still be found, however, in the liner notes of the soundtrack album.

The movie boasts of a massive cast, a great characters' development, beautiful locations, epic battle scenes and a wonderful soundtrack. It's an exhilarating, gripping, touching and epic experience that you won't miss.
