Isn't that one pegged as one of the longest swordfight scenes on film? It's amazing.

I can't seem to locate any decent video of the whole thing though. So you'll have to take my word for it. Here's the trailer. IMPORTANT NOTICE: No media files are hosted on these forums.

The Hunted wasn't a very good movie but the sword scene mentioned was spectacular. Also, The Yakuza w/Robert Mitchem has a fantastic sword scene in it with Takakura, Ken. [COLOR=FF00AA

They were all posted in 2009, so no big surprise there.

In no particular order.

1. Robert Roy McGegor vs. Archibald Cunningham.

So glad this ****** gets it.

2. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader.

They do a great job with what were sticks in handles.


I love both probably my faves. Both Vader fights are great because of the emotions involved.

I like this one from game of thrones, no spins(well okay one spin), no back flips just good ole knighting and steel armor
probably lasted as long as most duels did

I wish more GoT fights used shields. It should be integral to the way they fought, but I rarely see them using one at all.

yeah especially in big battles shields comes in handy... to you know shield from multiple opponents xD
but overall GoT does a good job compared to most of fiction- at least weapons move realistically fast most of the time
and I liked that scene where Oberyn got that Lanister guy with a dagger, that was cool

yeah i hope so Harvey, it's probably gonna be a little over the top, but im really curious to see it, no more spoilers though coz i haven't read the books and im totally hooked on the show :embar:
