Achilles' fighting style in Troy

Developing a strategy for Achilles' magnificent fighting scenes proved to be an exhaustive process. "When you read the script, it says very early on, 'Achilles fights in a god-like manner,'" says Crane. "Well, that's very easy to write, but it's very, very hard to do, and that one sentence created a lot of work for a lot of people. In the end it took three months and about thirty people to come up with the way Achilles fights. He has a boxing style, but with the velocity of a speed skater and the agility of a panther. Also, he doesn't look directly at his opponent. He looks slightly to the side and only looks when he's coming in for the kill - so if he looks at you, you know you're dead."
