A
long, long way from the Airplane! films, Jerry
Zucker makes heavy, glum weather of this version
of the familiar Knights of the Round Table legend.
Camelot – well, a bit of it – was built alongside
the lake at Trawsfynydd,
on the A487, six miles south of Blaenau Ffestiniog in
North Wales, but much of the city was computer generated.
First Knight uses
a bunch of other familiar locations: the thatched village
was constructed on the National Trustís Ashridge
Estate, near Tring in Hertfordshire
(previously a setting for The
Dirty Dozen which filmed at Ashridge College);
the wedding was filmed in St Albans Cathedral, Hertfordshire;
forest scenes were shot at Burnham Beeches ‚ site of
Robin Hoodís camp in the Kevin
Costner blockbuster Robin
Hood, Prince of Thieves, and in Black Park
Country Park, the convenient woodland area adjoining
Pinewood Studios familiar from literally hundreds of
movies from James Bond to Hammer films.
The battle scene filmed at the Roman road (known as
The Devilís Highway) which runs to the north of Stratfield
Saye, in Hampshire, about six miles south
of Reading.
