Professional swordsman Dave Rawlings broke down 10 sword fights in movies and TV, critiquing their realism and technique. Rawlings has over 15 years' experience teaching Western Swordsmanship. He has been featured in the documentary series "Warriors" and "Bloody Tales of the Tower." He advised the Wallace Collection on its exhibition "The Noble Art of the Sword," and he teaches longsword at the London Longsword Academy.
Rawlings looked at the skill of Henry Cavill in "The Witcher" and Dwayne Johnson in "The Scorpion King." He also critiqued the realism of historical and fantasy scenes from "The Mask Of Zorro," "Gladiator" and "The Princess Bride." He also rated sword fights in "Game of Thrones," including Brienne of Tarth and Arya Stark, and Ned Stark and Jamie Lannister. He rated the samurai-sword skill of Keanu Reeves in "47 Ronin" and Uma Thurman in "Kill Bill: Volume 1." He analyzed the principles of sword fighting in the "Die Another Day" fencing scene and the light saber fight in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."

I was thinking the same thing. I noticed he gives quite low ratings to "The Witcher" and "Die Another Day" then goes on to say the fencing in "The Princess Bride" is irrelevant to the story telling. Compare to Jill Bearup's videos where she gleefully dissects how all three of those fights are excellent at storytelling and characterization. I'd actually love to see her and Rawlings discuss all three together.

I don't know if he has enough knowledge as he rates sword fights and in "The Deluge" and "With Fire and Sword" they fight with sabers and there are differences between fighting those weapons. But it would be great if someone will analyze sabre fights in films. There's another good film called "Zrodzeni do szabli" ("Born to saber") that could also be taken into analysis.

Total bullshit. The sword fight between Basil Rathbone (a sword master as well as an actor, best known for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes) and Tyrone Power, from the 1940 film 'The Mark of Zorro', knocks the Princess Bride into a cocked hat. Sword fighting has been in films from the silent days, yet this guy just concentrates on relatively recent films, so it's hardly a good assessment of sword-fighting in films.

He was saying he understands them from a story point of view, or entertainment value, but he's still rating off realism. He understands that movies are going to have impractical, flashy, or downright impossible moves, but his ratings are specifically based on realistic accuracy. For example the black knight from Monty Python is funny, and I'm sure he could see humor in it, but were he to rate it here he would probably give it a 1 or even a 0.

actually would love him to give this scene a second look.. yes, reverse grip is silly and shouldn't be used in a proper sword fight..BUT a longsword like that needs space, while they are fighting in an alleyway. Hitting your sword into the walls is probably one effective way of not making it out of the fight alive. Dave Rawlings knows what he's doing, and he might well think reverse grip is still a bad idea under constrained conditions, BUT his critique doesn't go into that at all..

I've heard so many different comments on the scene from The Witcher. I've heard that it's bad because he used reverse grip, I've heard that the reverse grip doesn't matter and the way he used the reverse grip were feasible and could be used (albeit, some creative liberties are taken), and that even though he shouldn't have used reverse grip, the fight scene still had great physicality and actual sword fighting techniques.

The reverse grip part seems excusable because A: He's a witcher. B: It's not used exclusively. He uses it as part of the whole dynamic, shifting, moving nature of the scene. Yeah, it has huge drawbacks, part of the point here is that he so outclasses them, even when he uses less than ideal technique, he easily takes them down. Give an adult a stick and they'll easily beat a toddler, even if they ARE holding the stick wrong =p

Generally speaking that is exactly what you want to do. Most sword fights only lasted a few seconds to maybe a half a minute at the absolute most, where someone made a mistake get badly wounded, bled out enough to become weakened by it then were overpowered and killed. Sword fights were never graceful, they were quick and brutal. Some techniques might have been graceful but that was a side effect of efficiency.

@@armorfrogentertainment the difference isn't the force, it's the leverage. With a one-handed sword, you've only got one hand to control both the fulcrum and the tip of the blade. Even with a very well-balanced weapon, you are very limited in where you can move your blade and how quickly you can place it there. A two-handed blade literally adds another dimension of control, by giving you a forward hand to control the fulcrum or balance of the blade, and a back hand to control the tip. It completely opens up new possibilities for moving with the blade, new angles to attack from, etc. The trade-off is that two handed weapons have less effective range than a one-handed weapon of the same length, because you need to keep your body relatively square to keep both hands on the grip. A one-handed blade user can lunge and extend their entire arm with an attack, easily giving them two or three times as much range as someone keeping both hands on their sword. Hence why most one-handed blades are specialized for stabbing, to take advantage of their biggest strength.

All the best fight scenes are about the story and the characters more than the fight itself. Anyone can ask an expert to choreograph a fancy 10 minute duel, but great filmmakers realise it's another opportunity to tell us about how a character thinks and what their relationship with the other characters is. Take Star Wars for example. The Anakin vs Obi-Wan fight is long and complex, and spectacular... but the most interesting parts are when they're sizing each other up at the start, and the end when Obi Wan is expressing his grief as Anakin burns. You could cut most of the middle part out and it would be the same scene. Compare that to Luke and Vader in RotJ, where every moment is dripping with character drama.

"best fight scene ever in any film ever" Duel from THE DELUGE (Potop)... old Japanese movies where they are showing how real sword fight looks like(for example duel from Seven Samurai)... British movie The Duellists, not to mention if its just "fight scene" then it can be also with guns or empty hands and then you have so many good fight scenes to choice from...

He's also aware that he's nitpicking; they could go for realistic non-stylized fighting, but only a small enthusiastic niche would be excited while the rest will miss the dynamics and tension (because they have no clue what's going on.) Not to mention that in some cases the stylizing adds to the story, one of the staples of movie making is 'show don't tell', it's harder to show someone's rage and erratic behavior using nuanced real sword fighting techniques than it is to just have him wail on his opponent like a barbarian with big movements. There's still a place for realistic fighting in movies that claim historical accuracy.

@@deltav864 If the character was presented as expertly trained in the communication of subtle clues to portray their intent, then this would be good. But I have been in real sword fights and dagger fights, with people both forcing a situation into existence along with the aggressor deciding all will perceive things their way. Instead of the nature of Full Formal Dueling, with all people being assumed to have the worst intent by every possible person. All this is followed with Full Formal Duels, having officials having their reputation drug through the mud. So we could start a movie with two men in drag, beating each other with verified as new, strong polymer versions of Women's Hairbrushes, then build a movie around the fall-out around the duel. Along with the possibility of two drag-kings punching things out, in a stereotyped masculine fashion, to create high profile personal injury. With all decaying until, no knowledge of what caused the conflict will happen. When an official comes to a full formal dueling decision, just ask how long will their professional reputation last. If a formal duel, the official determines the win or lose status; as a result, judgment call not effectiveness determines the win. Because the in-group status is formal dueling, with small groups and individuals. While informal duels do not need a stated reason, with that violence, happens at whatever skill level each participant has. As for informal-duels, the violence happens as shown in the movies with some full formal duels, with massive controversy happens. The fun stuff that most people will find to be boring will be both practice fights known as full informal duels for individuals and small groups. Along with plenty of formal duels, involving items such as walk-along paper airplane capture techniques. Just remember that the simulation is not the reality, especially when the simulation is actively twisted things to make it unrealistic. Then bureaucrats will point to the inaccurate by active inaccuracy preservation example, with calling this the same as real. To win around 19 out of 20 situations, just do not panic with this involving grinding into the anatomy of the pattern, so by habit, something functional will happen, even if the mind shuts down; as a result, puncturing the face can lead to a psychological stop. So losing a drop of blood, can turn the face pale and make the entire body shake, then the bulk of actions will be By-Rote-Performed.

What about The Court Jester end fight between Danny Kaye & Basil Rathbone? My 2nd favorite after Princess Bride. I love the comedy of Kaye's character switching back and forth between someone who has no clue how to sword fight and then being "the greatest"! Obviously there's a suspension of disbelief, but I'm curious about what parts actually have methodology behind them?
