[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5859418, member: 7883"] Definitely some good ones in there. But they're missing some great ones, some of whom are better, IMO, than some of those that have been identified. Several of them in Mask of Zorro.....Zorro against Don Raphael, Zorro against Captain Love in the palace. One of the nice things about the Mask of Zorro was that the sword fighting had a more accurate depiction than in many films. Last of the Samurai. The battle between Tom Cruise's character and four samurai, when he's walking around at night in Tokyo. There are some excellent sword fighting scenes in Alatriste. Balian vs Guy de Lusignan at the tail end of Kingdom of Heaven is a pretty cool depiction of the power of longswords. What I liked about the sword fighting in this movie is that it emphasized that the knights weren't simply hacking each other...but that there was a lot of philosphy and training going into their techniques. The final duel in Rob Roy is excellent. Banshee [/QUOTE]
