Hi Atlantia,
I love this film  because of the rapport between these two characters is brilliant .....  and he will have his 'reven-gay'  A great fun thread  James Bond not to be bad either... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TmhJ4FjmSI&NR=1 and Archilles in Troy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20w8o...eature=related Regards David Last edited by katana; 28th June 2008 at 12:26 PM. |

I have to agree with Atlantia .... Princess Bride.
But this is a close second for me. The 3-way sword duel in Pirate's of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest. It's in 2 parts. Doesn't really get going until the second half of part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUcMtdYRsHg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgxoXXd3MaE&NR=1

Darn it, you're taking all my best choices.
One of my favorites that hasn't been posted yet is the Ziyi Zhang vs. Michelle Yeoh fight in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. F |

i like the battle scene at the beginning of 'gladiator' even tho they did computer enhance the archery and artillery, they should have used pilums (pilii?) just before contact with the barbarians tho i guess health and safety thought they'd be too dangerous. the battle broke up into a general melee a bit too soon too.
Battle Linky i especially get a kick out of the scenes just before the battle as the german leader hold up the roman head with the sound track from 'zulu' in the background ('Zulu' is another favourite of mine, limited sword action but iklwas make up for it)the fight in the colosseum is pretty cool Colosseum Linky p.s. - if you include TV series/made for TV movies, the Sharpe series has everything, swords, bayonets, cavalry, ethnographic weapons, muskets, spontoons, cannon, duels, battles, seiges, and more. Synopsis Linky: O'er the hills and far away... Last edited by kronckew; 29th June 2008 at 09:21 AM. |

Wheee!!! This really is fun!!!
Gee, there are so many really neato sword scenes, who knows where to begin! but the Princess Bride really was fun....I've watched it about three times in the last week (it seems to have been on a lot lately). the best one non movie related though, is me and my t(rusty) tulwar against the ceiling fan. I lost my drinking in the den priviledges. |

I've always liked the fight between Robin and the Sheriff close to the end of Robin and Marian but cannot find the clip.

I think you'll have noticed I watch too many films
 This is a good film, 13th Warrior ....12 Vikings and 1 Arabic Warrior ....OK not historically accurate (AFAIK) but entertaining http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nszfe...eature=related I am very surprised that 'Kingdom of Heaven' has not featured yet, again they've taken 'historical licence'....but the battle scenes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3K9bruYKXU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muChj...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFViJ...eature=related David |

How about a music video featuring a hunked-up Gorbachov with a double bladed axe and shield, leading the Russian peasants into consumerism by his defeating the previous regime as portrayed by zombies?
Regular youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdRLEKVQM_k or in HDTV http://www.vimeo.com/1223566 |
