Now I don't know much about the plot of this movie, but am I the only one who has a problem with an ancient greek hero running around with a golden takedown recurve? Google image search "immortals movie bow" and you'll see what I mean.

What are you talking about!? they had center shot, pistol gripped, take down recurves made of soft metal in ancient greece... ::) :-\

It looks a lot better once you get rid of the shiny :P

I sid see that one, but it's actually Mickey Rourke's character's bow. The young guy's bow is a takedown.

Hey it was made by the gods... it looks like gold but it could be anodized spring ... urrrrrr.. aluminum or titanium.
Oh wait! They could have gilt a regular bow!.
Hang on! I have some gold leav left from a sign I carved. How to put that on a bow! ? ? A completely gilt bow would be WAY expensive and not practicle . . . but some sort of design???
-
the gold's not they problem (they are gods, you know :)) It's the 2,500 year old bolt on limbs.
-
It did look completely out of place in the movie. But is it only that noticable to us bow nuts?
-
I should hope not, but probably.

Egad Y'all...
That bow looks like an Academy Sporting Goods Special, spray painted with that Spackle Paint then finished off with a coat of Gold Gloss Rustolium.
And the Armor ain't any better either.
Maybe they spent the money on the Plot???
