"The Last Templar"
The recent TV miniseries will be available on R1 DVD on March 16th. Check out the first ten minutes in which Mira Sorvino, using a staff, knocks a "knight" off his horse, and later jousts on horseback with another "knight" in New York's Central Park while trying to foil a museum robbery.

Re: "The Last Templar"
Yes. Saw that on NBC network last weekend. But the unhorsing was it. Oh, feisty femme and all that, even a scene were she's trapped by hoodlums, and she karate's her way to safety.
Sat through all 4 broadcast hours (two nights) and came away disappointed about her vs. modern Templars with swords. Many liberties with physical reality - Jerusalem being a seaport for one.
All-in-all, the show was a Romance genre tale. All the plot points fit capital "R" Romance structure to a "T."
Hey, I like a well-crafted Romance novel on occasion.
Ms. Sorvino has a great pair of legs.

Re: "The Last Templar"
Correction:
March 16th is the release date for the UK (R2) version.
May 5th is the scheduled release date for the R1 version.
(It's possible that NBC wants to rebroadcast the miniseries once more before its release.)
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Isn't it interesting that the UK always releases a lot of cool stuff, eg. cult classics, that the US either won't touch with a ten-foot pole, or makes fans wait longer for?
