The throwing weapon with cords and weights that Porthos (Oliver Platt) uses to catch the guard during the fight at the convent is real. It is called "bolas" or "boleadora" and was used by Patagonian gauchos, in modern day Argentina. As for the time of this movie, these weren't known in Europe. This could support Porthos' claims of his many travels and adventures, despite generally being considered as fabricated.
