Stone carving of Queen Suriyothai in battle. Kinnaree Restaurant, Fremont, CA.
Armored elephants appear in battle in the movie Alexander, which starts today. In last year’s Return of the King, we saw charging oliphants trample men on Pelennor Fields. In the 2001 Thai epic film The Legend of Suriyothai, the Siamese army goes tusk to tusk against Burmese invaders.
What would be the next movie to feature battling behemoths? Could it be this?
