ITT, Suu shits her hate about Hollywood costuming.

Ok, how about "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves"?

Conan I & II.  Specifically the fight scenes.

(I know it's not a costume thing, but this ought to drive her right around the bend.)

Oh screw that. I hate the Conan Movies.

But people really fought like that, right?

Yes, back then when you had five guys against one, the best strategy was to attack one at a time, by raising your weapon WAY ABOVE your head, then yelling and running toward the guy.... then your buddies wait and see if you killed him... if not, the process repeats.

A Byzantine-style superhumeral with a high buttoned collar set in 1300s England? WHAT? WHY ISN'T HER HEAD COVERED? CROWNS GO ON TOP OF HAIR.

The first Conan wasn't that bad. The second Conan was abysmal and guilty of precisely what you describe.
In the first Conan, there aren't that many fight scenes.

As a matter of fact, I think there are only a couple of instances of Conan facing off against multiple people, and in these sequences he has aid. In the first (when they are escaping from Thulsa Dooms Mountain of Power), they dispatch a pair of goons relatively quickly. In the second, Conan deals with his enemies via preparedness and stealth.

Granted, Valeria coming back from the dead, as well as a lot of other things in the movie... are total cheese. But comeon, the movie is based on a series of PULP FANTASY books from the early part of the century, and the plot elements are a pretty faithful amalgamation of the Robert E. Howard stories.

The Destroyer, on the other hand, I think is total garbage.

Anyway, as a pure sword-and-sorcery style fantasy Movie, I dont think its really an applicable addition to a thread about period costumes.

Dude, the movie takes place in the 50s. It shouldn't even count. Anything past 1920s is considered "modern" in costuming, because the tailoring methods used are still in effect today, and men's [formal] clothing for the most part hasn't changed.
