I wonder how much Napoleon shaped the inferiority complex that the Prussians had, which lead to their hyper-militarism in the mid to late 19th century? In the wars against Napoleon, the Prussians were usually utterly humiliated by the French until the Russians or the English had them on their hind legs and then the Prussians jumped in a helped defeat them. This was the case in the last two Coalition Wars at Leipzig and Waterloo.

Weeell, Flashy having, very accuratelly, a black coloured basket "schläger", as he isn't properly a student-corps member ("schwarze partie"), alltogether the cadence is FAR to slow, AND Oliver Reed (one of my favourite actors!) as Bismarck is taking a slight roghthand forward "crouch" when serving the first "Schmiss" on Flashy's cheek, which "ist nicht nach dem Comment" (irregular) as you are supposed to stand ramrod-stiff while auf Mensur!

@@ianwalker4030I agree that Malcom did a good job but I don’t think he fits flashman. Part of the charm of flashman is physical attributes. Flashman in the novels is a big dude 6’2 which for back then was a even bigger man. And was also quite built, which makes it all the funnier that he’s a damn coward and scoundrel because he in any other novel would be the ideal description of a hero in physicality.

Я помню фразу из этого фильма."Никогда не бей лежачего,а то он может встать".
Mensur was a type of fraternity of stylized dueling. Ever see the old films in which German officers had scars on their faces? It was from Mensur, and it was actually not very uncommon. The "blinkers' were a real thing, so the eyes and nose would not be damaged or destroyed.

They really missed the mark on this movie. The whole point of Flashman is he keeps his composure to everyone around him and only through his internal monologues does the reader get the truth. Without that critical element all the humor and nuance is lost from the character and he looks like sniveling baby. Flashman is only a 'coward' in the sense that he prioritizes only his reputation over his life rather than his duty.

Just checked and as Bismarck is turning away in the film, Flashman gives him a slight injury to the arm. But in the book I recall it is Bismarck's assistant and Flashman is actually going for the kill. MacDowell's film version of the character makes him snivel a bit too much. The book Flashman is more pragmatist than coward.
