Synopsis

In *The Duke of Grand Fenwick*, the titular Duchy, facing severe economic hardship, determines that the only solution is to declare war on the United States, lose the conflict, and thereby qualify for foreign aid. To execute this plan, they dispatch an invasion force clad in chain mail and armed with bows and arrows. The force arrives in New York during a citywide nuclear drill, which has temporarily emptied the streets.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
