I just saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie and was excited to see the College of Arms forecourt. The building was utilized in a couple of quick establishing shots where it stood in as the exterior of a character’s London mansion.
As a tradition here in Sweden the Film Ivanhoe (the 1982 version) was televised on the first Day of the Year. There was a lot of heraldry to be seen like the canting Arms of Reginald Front de Boeuf a Bull’s Head afronté and the sinister Arms of Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert - Gules a Raven Sable sitting of a Human Skull Argent.
great on both accounts.
Coming out this year starring Russel Crow.
Check this TRAILER
At the 38 sec. and 1:11 markers you can see banners, one is Gules three chevrons Or. At the 1:11 marker you can easily see a Hospitaller banner.
Check out this photo of banners flying.
And this one of Richard I’s Gules three leopards Or (with something else tacked on to the fly?).

I was just watching the movie "Hidalgo" (Viggo Mortensen) and noticed that "Lady Anne Davenport’s" horse sported a blanket with a large emblazon: "Argent a chevron between three crosses crosslet fitchee Sable"—I couldn’t find a screen shot of the blanket, but it is seen near the beginning after arriving in the desert, before the race. It was a quick view, but this was the emblazon:

Definitely someone did his homework!

Perhaps one of our intreped members can find a screen shot?

I’ve never seen the film, but there is a branch of this family in South Australia sporting these arms and originally from Surrey IIRC

Father, ... someone did their homework there, as well! Nice arms.

Sorry, I don’t understand why this was not posted under Religious Heraldry?
Because the preceding posts were discussing the arms of "Davenport" as having been seen in a film. Did you read the entire thread before posting or are you simply reacting to the last post in the thread?
Sorry, Father. As a matter of fact, I have read this entire thread, over the last two years and all eleven pages. I just did not make the connection
when you posted the arms of the RC Diocese. Going back quickly, I still can’t find the original discussion of Davenport in a film or anything resembling that shield.
Guess we can chalk it up to advancing age, poor eyesight. Certainly not lack of interest.
David, see message #99 regarding the movie Hidalgo.
