Wallace with Murrin

In an interview with Joan Lunden, Mel was asked if he got injured during the filming of Braveheart. He admitted to many "small hurts". One of the most aggravating must have been the groin injury he got from leaping onto this horse near the beginning of the shoot. But he put up with it stoicly. She asked him if he ever worried about getting hurt during filming the battle scenes. "If you go around worrying about that you'd become a nut-case" he replied.
