Where’s that movie?

“Saint Patrick, you’ve been warned about coming here!”

Saint Patrick throwing off his robe to reveal his sleeveless tunic

“Get down here and fight me, you decrepit old gasbag!”

The most jarring part of that adaptation will be the ~~Welsh~~ non irish accent he needs to have. He's still an immigrant from outside of ireland though.

Pre Edit : Fucking, ye olde meme version of St Patrick being welsh is not real, but contested. I fell for it again.
