Just finished watching Mark of Zorro on TCM with the excellent sword fight between Tyrone Power (Zorro) and Basil Rathbone.

Schwarzenegger / Conan ...
The 1 Scene, when they Paint themselves up, and They go at it, in the Snakes Palace Saving the Girl.
The Falconer Predator vs The Japanese Warrior Ganster ...
The 5minute or so Fight Seen at the End of LOTR ..., When Arrogan was Whipp'in Arse Before Gimmi and Legolas Joined Him.
Maximus in Gladiator ..., I'll go with the Fight Agains Tigris at the end-ish ...
Sparrow vs Barbossa at the End of the 1st Pirates ...
I liked the couple of sword fights Bendarez gave us as Zorro too.
The Starz Spartacus Crap ..., I dunno where to even Begin. Ganicus is Just So Damn Bad Arse . I think His Technique looks Amazing.

Liam Nesson vs Tim Roth, awesome sword fight...no background music or anything, just two guys dueling to the death.sigpicComment

The Princess Bride... all of the sword play in that movie was good. And although it's not a movie, The Highlander TV series had some really excellent, well choreographed sword fights. When I went to a Highlander con, and saw a demonstration of how they choreographed them, I had a new appreciation for those sword fights."Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - It's just a flesh wound.
Princess Bride - I'm not left-handed either.
Star Wars - When I met you I was but a learner.
Highlander. - There can be only one!

Cyrano's on TCM tonight after Don Juan.
I like Roth and Neeson in Rob Roy, too.
Rathbone and Flynn in the climax of the Adventures of Robin Hood is my all- time favorite.
Gene Kelly's proves he's not just a hoofer in several super athletic fights in his version of the Three Musketeers.Comment

Errol Flynn vs Basil Rathbone in Adventures of Robin Hood is the top. Obi-wan vs. Darth Vader.Comment

Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone came to mind right away. After that, the end of Rob Roy would be next. That one really works because you really want Tim Roth to get it.Comment

Lone Star vs Dark HelmetComment

Yeah, Tim Roth's Archibald Cunningham is one of the most disliked villain's in movie history, and you just can't help but to root for Rob Roy. In that final duel, Rob Roy was at a great disavantage, he was still recuperating from the beatings while captured, had probably a broken rib or two, and to top it off, Archibald was a more schooled and technically superior swordsman, and despite his affaminate persona, the guy was tough as nails, and had endless stamina.
But were Rob Roy lacked, he made up for it in heart...and ultimate hatred towards Archibald, for he had "violated" Rob Roy's wife.
The way the duel ended, was stuff of legends, lol.Last edited by Hector; Jan 29, '13, 12:02 AM.sigpicComment
