I'd love to see his fantastic war machines in a movie. Supposedly he used focused sunrays to burn a whole enemy fleet.

Sorry to go off topic, but have you watched Doing Da Vinci? They had cool one recently where they built his armored car.

I haven't had a chance to catch the show in a while but that sounds cool as hell. I'll have to hunt it down online.

I think it was busted because it required too much accuracy to be useful in the battle scenarios. It took too long to get the focus set up, and was too inefficient when having to quickly alter targets.
