I remember when A Knight’s Tale was released, although much of it had no basis in history, the filmmakers claimed the jousting scenes were some of the most historically accurate ever filmed. They also shared the tidbit that the fatality rate at a tournament was similar to the injury rate at an American football game.

I liked that movie. The music was nice, the story was nice, it was a nice, entertaining movie.
