RUSSELL Crowe feared for his life while filming new movie Robin Hood.

The Aussie actor says the film’s battle scenes were a far scarier experience than those he faced in Oscar-winning blockbuster Gladiator.

“It’s scary stuff,” says Crowe. “We had 15 people carried off the battle field at one point. One guy got his eye poked out with a pike. Another guy broke an arm and a leg falling off a horse. A number of other people had their wills broken because it was violent and anarchic. Totally crazy.

“The scale of it is enormous. We had 130 horses doing a full-speed gallop charge into 600 guys on the ground.

“Every man on a horse did half-a-dozen fight moves before spinning around and coming back. It can all go south very quickly.”
