except it is "fool play". A dishonorable kill. And the fight is not realistic : The Archie was too close most of the time, could kill Rob twice just by extending his arm during spinning motions, spend his time using slash motion with a rapier while it primary purpose is stab motions... It is more crude and brutal as in other movies, but not realistic. Even the hand grabing the sword. Without gloves, his fingers would have been all over the place (at least the way he grabbed it). The only realistic part is that he struggle to grab his sword on the floor. Oh, and also, you are not drained of stamina that fast in a fight with so much pauses... or he has to comes from an exhausting travel or fight just before (didn't see the movie, sorry).
@@badnewsBH Also Lambert needs glasses to see, but he didn't use in many films. I think he did a good work. Adrian is more into martial arts by the way. He is great in the tv series, specially vs Anthony De Longis, a weapon Master in real life, see " Duende" fight with sword & dagger. Cosone vs Duncan.
Cannot lie, when my aunt took me to see Flash in the cinema, every last part of it was thrilling. But Vultan playing with the axes of the platform was, to use a term I would learn much later, dirty pool. Shortly after I'd have a sleepover at my best friend's house and his family would go to the drive-in and we'd watch Flash, this time in my pyjamas and then a couple of years later, after moving to a new town my new best friend's stepfather would rent the VHS and it was the first time I'd seen a move not only more than once, but in multiple formats. Still love Flash, Jones, Dalton, Blessed and von Sydow are perfect, even if it isn't Jones' actual voice. And Ornella Muti? Sigh. Archibald Cunningham is so confident, thinking he's wearing Rob Roy McGregor down, even after McGregor realises that he can't win in a straight duel with the weapon and training he has and so changes his gameplan. I gress Arche wasn't as smart as his birth told him he was.
Originally, the Indiana Jones fight scene, was a full fight scene. The actor playing the enemy swordsman spent weeks perfecting the combat sequences, only for Harrison Ford to get Dysentery, and the fight was shortened for comedic effect.
Amazing! I never heard that before. That was the most memorable moment for me in the series, while being a comedic moment, also taught me a valuable lesson about how some fights are better won when you don't fight at all.
@@Entropydemic Actually, the way I heard was that Ford, having dysentery, just didn't feel like a long fight sequence so he improvised by pulling out his pistol and shooting the swordsman. The swordsman had the presence of mind to play along and fall like he was shot; it was brilliant.
So many awesome fights, from ridiculously epic, brutal and even charming and almost whimsical (you all know which i'm talking about). Then Indiana Jones' "parry this" is just the cherry on top haha
Bravo, when men were warriors and the ladies loved them! Rob Roy had a battlefield sword, the English Dandy had a more refined fencing sword which he fancied.
I agree, and I was going to suggest this until I saw your post. Great sword fight, going from foils to sabers, and despite the movie being a comedy sword fight is deadly serious. I'd also recommend the fight between Paul Atredies (Kyle MacLachlan) and Feyd-Rautha (Sting) from the movie "Dune" (1984) which involves knives.
I forgot how good the sword fight from Princess Bride was. I'm glad they featured the whole scene on this channel. Thank you. It's been quite a few years since I'd seen it.
Totally agree - he was one of the best bad guys ever. Even as you are watching that fight you felt your heart sink, even knowing that good guys win, but you just can't see how Liam is gonna come back.
Ox Baker and Curt Russel doing battle in the old St.Louis Union Station when it was closed down. Now it's a boring ass aquarium after being brought back as a successful shopping venue.
The fight scenes with Sean Connery and the crooked cop from "The Untouchables", and the fight scene between Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine from "Emperor of the North." Gotta see Em.
This compilation was wonderful to watch but it lacked one thing. There was only two movies where I knew the clip was from, & that was #2 & #4. Try putting the movie titles somewhere in the videos so those like me know which movie it is
The trench coat with the scruffy white sneakers is so lame. Even as a kid in the 80s I thought "WTF? You're an immortal headhunting badass and you can't dress with any style"?
There are loads of incredible fight scenes in hundreds of films, & most of these are far better than the Shite you have here, please take some time to look at some of them & you will see why I'm saying this, try Scott Adkins Boyka character, some of his moves are incredible or Ip Man & a thousand others, I like all these movies, but Great, is not a word I connect too many of them, some weren't even Great at the time.
Legend has that Harrison Ford had done four takes of fight scene and was suffering from a cold...since he made a deal with the swordsman. Spielberg was stunned, he thought that Ford had SHOT the stuntman!
