10. Tooled Up And Slaying Hector In Troy
If youre after an archetypal image of Pitt flexing his iron and looking all beefcake then cast your eyes over the enjoyably idiotic cack that is Troy. Put simply, hes God-like: 6 foot plus of unadulterated brawn, glistening under the Greek sun; pouting, preening and talking with a half-baked British inflection in his accent which actually makes him sound like a bit of a pillock. Nevertheless, he spends a good chunk of the movie with barely any clobber on and with tongue firmly in cheek hes mindlessly enjoyable to watch when he does attempt to act. Hes basically a chiselled harbinger of death and as a human specimen he is, for want of a better word, awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80SsC_ZNbyI This is never more obvious than the scene in which he and Eric Banana fight with big shiny swords. Aside from a few moments where they stand and trade homoerotic glares and pithily redundant phrases (there are no pacts between lions and men), they go balls-out and manically attack each other in what is a remarkably well-choreographed fight scene. Brad, of course, emerges victorious and ends up wheeling away in his little chariot looking all moody and smouldering.
