@TechMan
you are right bro..but even Kingdom of Heaven has shown some distorted facts.but overall it is a good movie.the scene you posted is itself distorted facts.Salahdin actually sieged Kerak over a month,but couldn't break it.after hearing the news of Army of Jerusalem,they actually fled as fast as they can,deserting their precious siege weapons and towers.

bro,if you're interested in Crusades,don't forget to check this documentary out--BBC Crusades with Terry.Jones.it has 4 parts and will bust quite some myths.best documentary on Crusades I've ever seen.
topic...
Christian Crusaders were very strong soldiers.but their debacle at Hattin was unpardonable.In the past,they actually defeated even 5-10 times larger forces of Saladin's Army in the Battle(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Montgisard).so they were overconfident.they made a mistake when they left their water source and marched for 3 days without water.according to sources,many crusaders died even before the battle(very common scene from the start of the Crusades).and they got annihilated after the battle.Even though later,Crusade carried out by Richard Lionheart came to almost very close to capture all the "Kingdom of Heaven" back,they couldn't due to internal fuss..
