What is To Kill a King? Is it a book, a film, a video game, a hip-hop album? If a book, who wrote it? Why is this source more accurate? It would not matter as much if there were an article at the link, but there isn't. Please clarify, or the sentence will need to be deleted, as it expresses an unsourced POV.
In addition, there are no sources given for the article whatsoever, so the entire thing is unsourced original research. Qualified sources need to be found, and the parts which remain unsourced removed. Thanks. -- BillCJ 20:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
To Kill a King is a 2003 movie starring Tim Roth as Oliver Cromwell and Dougray Scott as Sir Thomas Fairfax. There is information on imdb about this movie, though I have not seen the movie yet. [1] Exhartland 08:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

There are no sources whatsoever for this claim in the "historical points" sections. Rather, there are sources (apparently) for the "accurate" history (and many that have no source at all, even of the WP:SYNTH sort). If no such sources can be provided, the entire section needs to be removed as OR. 84.203.40.54 ( talk) 16:04, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Virtually any item of information could be labelled "original research" by somebody so inclined - what cite is there for the fact that it is a film rather than a banana? It says that Charles I was "a brave man" - where's the cite that he was a man not a female elephant? Recommendations should not be used as if they were iron laws as an excuse to remove correct and useful information. It would be a great pity to lose information which is presumably useful to history teachers showing the film to their classes etc. MissingMia ( talk) 14:59, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
That whole section is a travesty of "not getting the point" of what the film project's articles are supposed to be about, particularly in regard to historical films. As another editor noted in a conversation on another historical film, this section is mostly armchair historians' work. I don't doubt that all of it is true, but the point of a section like this in a film article is to note what reliable sources have said regarding inaccuracies. Tagged for reference improvement (and thank goodness for the discussion at Braveheart that brought it to the attention of other editors). Millahnna ( talk) 20:22, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
What is this confusing statement supposed to mean?
...oddly enough, Dalton was being granted the role of James Bond (to replace the outgoing Sean Connery) whom he would portray 17 years later.
"Oddly enough" is blatant editorializing and must go, but the rest just doesn't make any sense. Was it meant to say that Dalton was hired to play a character named Bond in this film? He wasn't. Is it trying to say that he was being hired to play Bond at the same time this film was made? He wasn't (Connery was lured back to replace Lazenby in Diamonds Are Forever, which would be released the following year, and Connery was succeeded in the role by Roger Moore, who continued in the role for over a decade). It's nearly complete gibberish. Dalton was hired to play Prince Rupert in this film; was someone trying poorly to indicate that that role was intended for Connery, but Connery left the project (presumably to film Diamonds Are Forever)? In that case, a source is required (in addition to a remedial course in verb conjugation and sentence structure), because I can find nothing to support the idea that Connery was ever involved in this project. 12.233.147.42 ( talk) 02:17, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

I have condensed this section a little as a few points seemed problematic. The section about Naseby didn't really say anything about inaccuracies not covered elsewhere. I think there is some dispute about Cromwell's exact words when he dissolved the Rump. I think the film does make his anti-Catholicism clear with his behaviour in the Church at the start. Cromwell was not granted the crown, so not sure what this section is on about. PatGallacher ( talk) 17:39, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
I could have appended this entry to the previous on inaccuracies from 2012 but it's clear to me that entry is pointless and it does not drive any useful discussion.
If the movie distorts the story of Oliver Cromwell and anything that pertained or correlated to him, what exactly is inaccurate? I think a section that discusses that is necessary.

As one who recalls watching the film in 1970 and took home a film brochure (since lost) I recall that the same male actor is listed as playing both Archbishop William Laud earlier in the film and (then Bishop of London) Juxon at the execution scene of Charles I. However I do not see him in the list which is surprising as although the parts were brief in overall proportion to the film's length, these churchmen played key parts in the king's reign and (in Juxon's case) death, and the king's High Church religious policies in which they played part were part of the casus belli for Cromwell and the Parliamentarians pursuing the Civil War. Worth finding out. From memory the actor seemed elderly, and sounded rather like John Gielgud. Cloptonson ( talk) 08:30, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
