what about the lamas?

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2004)

there are lots of historical inaccuracies in this movie, many others have already pointed out how far from The Iliad the scriptwriters have strayed, how there's no mention of the previous marriage of Paris nor of children for Helen, but I thought one of the very strangest was the sight of lamas in the Troy village scene just prior to the attack by Achilles.
Lamas? I know the movie was filmed in Mexico (still a long way from lamas' South American homelands), but isn't that treating the viewer as a complete idiot? I also shuddered at the glitches in accents, most notably Eric Bana, who wasn't sure if he was still playing Chopper Read or the gum-chewing Yank in Black Hawk Down, quite dreadful.
