Lol I was thinking Hercules: The Legend Continues.

Didn’t that pair sound like Kevin Sorbo (spelling) and his little helper whats-his-face?

Who cares if Bergman couldn’t figure out that buddy-cop movies were gold? I know I did, and now if you’ll excuse me I have to go contact Pierce Brosnan and Dane Cook about a script. If you can figure out which one gets which character, you win a lollipop.

I figured there must be about a zillion movies like that, but the only title I could think of was The Magic Flute. At least it was the same director. *pats self on back* But it’s weird, now that I think of it, that of all movies the Magic Flute would have sprung to my mind. Maybe Bergman DID see the possibilities. Not that Cries and Whispers would fit the pattern, no…. Or would it?

Oh, and it doesn’t have to be set during Medieval times. It could be a captain and private in Iraq. They have to make their way home from the airport and have wacky adventures.

Actually, I think there was already a movie with this premise, but I don’t think it was funny or full of adventure. I think it was just about how soldiers deal with coming home. I know, LAME, right?!

Oh my lord you’re right. It’s a buddy-cop movie. How did I not see that?

More importantly, how did Ingmar Bergman not see the possibilities?

I don’t know about the connection, as I’ve not seen either Seal or Rome, but I just wanted to share my title guess, as I thought it would be cool, and I’m actually surprised it isn’t a real movie yet.

So the movie sounded kind of comedic, basically a buddy-cop movie set in medieval times. Hence, the title would have to be just funny enough to entice butts into movie seats. Without further ado, I give you:

Knight & Day.

Obviously the squire’s name would be Day. Sure its not a name, but its medieval times, and they had weird names back then. As a buddy-cop movie, the rest of the plot falls out pretty clearly. Knight gets the princess, defeats the evil mage, Day gets knighted, given the promise of future adventures. Wrap it up and throw a bow on it, that baby is packaged!
