that was a really excellent example of sword fighting... especially the moment when Rochefort step back and raised his head and neck back during d'Artagnan's lung for his neck..... he had their distance apart measured perfectly..... Rochefort was CLEARLY the better swordsman.... d'Artagnan's lunge forward was as far as he could possible reach... Rochefort knew he would be just out of reach... superb..!
Ok to remark just a bit more... this is the Movies and not to be believed for a realistic fight between trained men. A real fight would be All out Fast.. with an unrementing attack by both men with probable cuts and piercing from the distance of the long swords.. And if either manA got past manB's point it would be very likely that manA would skewer manB. And if both men got in close it would be Daggers Punches and grappling like Kung fu masters... Those sword fighters had very good hand to hand combat skills that were effective and deadly. Most probably ending with a grapple were one or both men Mortally stabs the other... Not too many survivers from a death fight when your opponant gets in close. Even if you survive the fight you would likely die from blood loss and infection. Most swordsmen died from cuts on hands and forearms.....
Am I the only one who LIKES this movie? Sure it isn't the book but which Film has ever reached the book, huh? Just a few, right? So I, as a person who read the book, think that this film is fine. It has good fighting scenes, a new plot, good actors and perfect images.
I loved this movie, too! I just don't understand why everyone hates it, and I'm so sad there won't be a sequel because of that. I love the actors (Logan Lerman is one of my favourite actors of all time) and the pace is great, only the finale was a little... not so obvious. I was expecting one more battle scene when I realized the movie was over. But still... great!
I like this movie. Not perfect, but so much fun, and so well cast (especially Freddie Fox as the king - adorable). The critics are humourless bores who either don't like the fantasy element (because every remake of this story should be just like the eleventy zillion previous versions), or they still bear a grudge against the director for making Resident Evil (another fun action movie).
cribbed that line from The Magnificent Seven. James Coburn shot a bandit who was galloping away at a great distance. His companion remarked "that was the greatest shot I have ever seen". Coburn replies "The worst ! I was aiming for the horse ...".
Thanks for this. In the movie it was never explained why Rochefort constantly 'cheats' and tries the most 'dishonorable' ways to dispose of d'Artagnan, despite the fact that he's clearly an accomplished swordsman.
Nitzky 89 Because he knows like his father D"D'Artagnan is better and he is a cheater he likes to do it, Rochefort, is dishonorable at least in 1993 one it's supposedly he is a disgraced musketeer who sold out Dartagnan's father a fellow Musketeer and also sold out King Louis the father of the young one in that movie, as a result, the King was assassinated and Dartagnan Sr died trying to protect him at the hands of Rochefort hence why that one wears an eye patch does he have one in this version according to his biography Rochefort is rugged ruthless mean insane psychotic and uncaring don't all those fit
It would've been better if they had included Rochefort's dialogue from this deleted extended version. It added to his villainous character. And this fight might've been better without a lot of music that way we can hear the sword clanging and therefore be able to feel it more too.
What didn't make sense at all is that D'Artagnan is a very rookie swordsman who has talent but lacks real skill and battle experience and he makes up for the lack of them with his endurance and stamina but that shouldn't count much cause as you see Rochefort was basically the best swordsman in whole France or one of the best possibly, with DOZENS YEARS of battle experience and you can clearly see that in the duel. Both this version and the theatrical cut show that Rochefort for most of the fight toyed with D'Artagnan. Using a legendary actor like Mads Mikkelsen for a character like this and give him this extremely anti-climatic death is one of the plot holes of the movie, one of the biggest probably.
Dartagnan may not be very experienced I doubt thats true though his dad taught him but once Rochefort says I killed your father or however he said it Dartagnan does not need skill he has anger to guide him
you can see plain as day how different their styles are, rochefort style is balanced, very controlled, while d'Artagnan's looks a great deal wilder and more passionate.
Thank you so much for uploading this, I've been waiting to catch the extended scenes online for ages! Any chance you've got some more of them up your sleeves?
I always disliked how Rochefort has been portrayed in all the 3 musketeers movies. In the book he not only survives but he and d'artagnan pretty much become friends. (After fighting several duels of course). I wish they made a book accurate Rochefort for once.
Me hubiera gustado más que el alto rango hubiera disparado una vez, fallando, e inmediatamente rocheford le hubiera ordenado que se detuviese porque, a pesar de querer ganar sin importar la forma (dicho por el momentos antes) al fin estaba disfrutando de un duelo a su altura. Ello daría algo de honorabilidad al personaje, dentro de su villanía, y enriquecería la rivalidad dartagnan-rocheford
according the the first novel,D'Artagnan and Roshefoure fought three times between each other and after the thirth duel they became friends.in the second novel,D'Artagnan killed Roshefoure by accident.
Yes he did read the book. And it is exactly how he said it is, it is just in the movies Rochefort being portraited as super villain to be killed in the end.
My God! The last adaptation, The Musketeer, at least gave us a balls-to-the-wall badass ladder fight, this entire duel takes place on ONE. FUCKING. ROOF!!! They didn't even throw in a fucking rope swing action!
I don't really understand the ending there, was he supposed to have shot the sword? Is that why it was in the air so long? Did she think he had purposely shot the sword in order to give d'Artagnan time to catch it? Is that why she said good shot? Because clearly it would have made more sense just to shoot his opponent. None of it made sense, probably my denseness though.
This would have been even better, than its final cut in the movie. I kinda like that movie, but come on. Why did the had to cut this scene? Ok: "That's my man" line was terrible.
Weird interpretation of the book and their relationship. Because they are suppose to fight thrice , D'atargon winning all, settle their scores and they eventually become friends. !
yeah but modern audiences dont want that do they?? they want hero vs villian with the bad guy losing and the hero getting the girl. when in the book as well D'Artagnan and Constance dont end up together, his arrogance and lust eventually lead to Milady killing Constance, while Constance stays married n for the most part faithful to her husband
@@aprilgosa5779 one year later, but for future reference, Rochefort barely appears in the book, more of a menacing shadow than active villain, and never killed D'artagnan's father
See the page title. This is an extended version of the scene, including a lot of stuff that was cut, which therefore they didn't finish the effects for.
Si verlo mola, pero las películas ya se pasan, como uno se puede enfrentar a 10 como mínimo, en la esgrima con sable, espada o flor ya son 3 o 4 y es tan difícil y ya no fe digo nada la esgrima de espada roperá. Hay que ser más realista dos tres contra uno y como mucho. Y tienes que tener destreza y una persona con una suerte de 8, 8,5 sobre 10.
1. Can't say the fight itself was all that impressive 2. Why were the backgrounds constantly cut out? 3. The "MY man" line was awful 4. The shoot-at-one-thing-hit-another gag? OLD!
Actually depends sword techniques in the past did include grabbing the blade people as skilled as them (which is implied) would know how to do so properly also, die or lose some skin, skin any day of the week.
nobody cares about the book they are not supposed to be friends I would not be friends if someone killed my daddy I would do what he just did make a rochefort K Bab out of him I spelled that wrong
c'est insupportable de voir des acteurs puceaux de la vie, ou des femmes de 40 kilos incarner nos héros!! et je parle meme pas des noirs jouant les roles de heros blancs!!! Insupportable!!!
That ought to be the worse fight choreography I ever seen, along with the worse abuse of cliches and pop culture I ever seen. Not to mention the poor acting...Jesus.
