Gessler put a price on Tell's head and this men, all mercenaries,
are trying to hunt down Tell. In the middle Dantes.
Clyde as Gessler is deliciously maniacal. The energy he throws into his performances creates a complexity for what could have been a very one dimensional character. While being the charismatically evil villian you see his inward insecurity and cowardice. The way he relishes his ability to cause pain and fear and the complete patheticness he reveals, when the tables are turned on him, is always hilarious and fascinating to watch.
The music, composed by Stanislas Syrewicz is beautiful and quite unique and innovative. The locations are well-chosen in lovely areas of France. Quaint old villages, castles, ruines and beautiful nature scenes. There are some terrific stunts and including Mario Luraschi's horse stunts, see below. This show is ideal for children as it provides heaps of action and adventure with minimal violence and it's also very historically educational. That aside adults can find a lot to enjoy in the show. It has heaps of intelligent and entertaining dialogue. Heck, we just love the whole thing.

Mario Luraschi and his stunt horses, It looks spectacular but he always makes sure his horses can't get insured or harmed. Most of them are Andalusian horses. Tell's main horse was a beautiful Lipizzan gelding named Napolitano. In the first 10 episodes, season 1 he rode a tall brown horse named Guitano and during the third season a short part on a little Arabic horse. Horst rides a Frisian Horse and all the other blackknights black Andalusian horses. Crossbow is a treat for everyone that loves these stunning horses!

The DVD "Crossbow the movie" came out in 2006. Regrettably there is still no DVD of the whole series in English. Last year a French dubbed DVD came out in France. No English subtitles. We'll keep on hoping on an English release in the future! Most episodes are posted on Youtube. |
