It might not seem like it today in a post- Hunger Games, Brave, and Avengers world, but in 2004, seeing a badass woman owning vamps with a modern (at the time) compound bow was really awesome to see and actually kind of original - or at least different.įun fact: The athletic Biel trained hard and did all the archery work herself in the movie and reportedly got quite good. Unfortunately, Dracula catches it and throws it to the ground, but when he turns his attention back to Blade, Whistler fires a quick follow-up arrow into Drac’s back, giving Blade enough time to grab the virus arrow and shove it into Dracula’s chest. During the final battle with Dracula, Whistler fires an arrow tipped with a special injector holding a virus, the only way to kill the ancient vampire. She has another that lets her shoot around corners. The most absurd is one that somehow drills its way through a metal door to kill a vamp on the other side. The arrows she uses have a bunch of wild abilities. In Brave, the archery match is also an open challenge as the winner of the match will get the opportunity to marry Princess Merida.Between making battle playlists for her iPod, we see her practicing with her bow in the HQ, shooting at targets through a digital chronograph. The match is an open challenge that awakened the egos of Rajiv and his family members. However, the reality was the proposal of Manuchand was only taken into consideration and it was not a promise. In Pardes, there is a scene where Rajiv (Apurva Agnihotri) competes with Manuchand (Anand Balraj) in a "Kabaddi" match because Manuchand's father claims that Suraj Dev (Alok Nath) had promised his daughter, Ganga's (Mahima Chaudhry) marriage with his son. The first thing I notice is the similarity in one part of Brave's plot with the movie Pardes, starring Shah Rukh Khan. I was amazed at myself too for noticing a Bollywood film similarity in an animation film. In contrast to this, due to my passion for Bollywood, I couldn't help but notice 2 similar elements with 2 Bollywood films. Overall, I feel that Brave is a great movie as I personally love the plot very much.
