- Kevin Nealon jokes he would have been in the back making coffee in the movie Braveheart. Adapted from the novel of the same name by Randall Wallace (who also wrote the screenplay), the film starred Mel Gibson as William Wallace, a Scottish man in 1280 who became the figurehead for of the First War of Scottish Independence against the English. Arguably the most memorable parts of the movie were the epic battle scenes, which were filmed in Ireland and used up to 1,600 members of the Irish Army Reserve as extras. While the film was criticized for its historical inaccuracies, it won five Oscars.
