As awe-inspiring as this scene is, I kinda think you have to hand the title of 'best cavalry charge' to the 1970 film Waterloo. It's not quite as impressive on screen as the Charge of the Rohirrim, but in terms of logistics? Jesus Christ it blows it out of the water. The film involved 15,000 actual soldiers, including an entire brigade of cavalry and military engineers. It was filmed in the Soviet Union at a cost of USD$40m (closer to USD$200m when adjusted for inflation), and its believed that filming anywhere else would've cost between 2 and 3 times that amount, which would've made it the most expensive film ever made

At that sound the bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect.

Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!"_

No, really. People don't realise this. A company of 250 can create such a noise and thud, that the ground shakes. Ancient and medieval armies had cavalry spams from 1000 to 10-15k (much more, depending on if it's an empire, sedentary kingdom or steppe nomads). And those cavalry cohorts weren't just heavy gandarmes or paladins. You had archers. F*ck me, no wonder a lot of battles were won by a full on frontal charge by cavalry. Just imagine the power, the psychological effect it had. Pitched battles were a sight to behold, if you were not a part of them.

One of the most touching stories of this scene that I've read is actually about a horse, I try to recall it as accurately as possible to make it justice: Basically, the film crew were short on extras capable of riding, so they made an advert promising anyone who would bring their own horse for the scene to be allowed to act in the scene and be shown on screen (most were women clad as men). One woman brought her old stallion that had been a lazy galloper his entire life. Bernard's speech got the old horse so exited and riled up that he galloped harder and faster than ever before in his entire life, overtaking the younger horses and surprising everyone around.

Greatest scene of cinema history imo! Thank you to everyone, the actors, the support staff, P. Jackson, and of course Tolkien.

This will always be up there as one of if not the coolest scenes ever in film. Seeing it as it was in the real world and hearing those yells max out the microphones is even cooler.

As a 30 year old when they first came out, it was a dream come true! I had read LotR every year, for 17 years prior. I've since introduced my children to it and we watch it yearly. I've also READ LotR to them - which is an experience to actually read and HEAR the words of Tolkien.

Thats as close as it gets to witnessing actually knight crusaders charging into an enemy army. Which by the way most of the time overwhelmingly out numbered them sometimes to the point of less than 200 against tens of thousands. That was what this scene was like, an army of horse back warriors charging into an army far bigger than there own. The crusaders were basically a train and would dismantle and route these huge armies consistently, absolutely mind boggling.

Endgame's hype came entirely from seeing all the heroes on screen together at once. Other than that, the scene was mediocre at best. It can't possibly compare to the glory of this scene. Forth Éorlingas! Ride into history!
