Member KCN9NE Posted April 16, 2020 Member Share Posted April 16, 2020 What movie has the best sword fight scenes. It can be one specific fight, or a movie with a a bunch of good sword fighting scenes? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMK Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 The first swordplay scene that comes to mind, (though only one has a sword the whole scene) and one that you've probably already seen before is.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member tdb Posted April 16, 2020 Member Share Posted April 16, 2020 It's old school but I've always liked the sword play in Dragon Inn (1967). The Magic Blade (1976) and Swordsman (1990)/Swordsman II (1992) bear fruit (though the latter two are decidedly more fantasy). The sword play in On Guard (1997) and the Three Musketeers (1973)/Four Musketeers (1974) are all quite good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KCN9NE Posted April 16, 2020 Author Member Share Posted April 16, 2020 I still think I love the last fight scene in Rurouni Kenshin 3 the most. Also the Netflix movie “the revenger” has a decently good sword fighting scene 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DiP Posted April 16, 2020 Member Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) The Lost Bladesman. The choreography style here is a big getaway from all the flashiness you usually see in typical wuxia fare.

Member JackieRome Posted April 16, 2020 Member Share Posted April 16, 2020 The Kenshin trilogy It's probably the highest point. I've never seen anything like it. It's Flashpoint's equivalent for the best 1vs1 fight... it's no coincidence that Kenji Tanigaki is always involved. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Shosetsu Posted October 11, 2020 Member Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Clip of Unusual sword fight between Wakayama Tomisaburo and Dutchman using a Rapier blade. For the first few seconds the film appears to be frozen but that's because the fighters are getting their bearings. Then comes the action.

Member Chen Hung Lieh Posted October 12, 2020 Member Share Posted October 12, 2020 Besides all the completely unrealistic over the top swordfights in all movies directed by Chen Ming-Hua, I love Fung Hak-On's performance in "Last Hurrah For Chivalry": 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Shosetsu Posted October 18, 2020 Member Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) In this scene from the film Umon the Edo Constable--although the fight begins with Umon using a Jutte-weapon, he then tucks the jutte back into his sash and then switches to a Sword.

I wish a label would put his out on blu ray with English subs. I'd be all over it. I ended up buying a bootleg box set for not an unsubstantial amount and I would gladly double dip for a legit release. One that I enjoyed that borrowed heavily from the chambara influence was the Taiwanese indie, Sword of Justice. It just had such an atmospheric feel.

Actually the link that showed Wakayama fighting against a Dutchman was NOT the Mute Samurai series but rather Samurai Bounty Hunter. The way you can tell the difference is because in the Mute Samurai, Wakayama's head is totally shaven like a monk, as compared with Wakayama's haircut in the Dutchman swordfight.

Thanks for the correction. From what I understand, there was a trilogy of Samurai Bounty Hunter films but also, a TV series that followed which also starred Wakayama. Is this correct? Have you seen the TV series? Worth picking up? Edited November 1, 2020 by Yihetuan 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy almost anything with Wakayama in it. In the Bounty Hunter series, Wakayama plays a tough guy. But in his everyday guise, he has a job as a schoolteacher for small children. In fact, quite a number of episodes open with him teaching a class for those kids. I remember one episode where a small boy came to Waka to tell him a bully was picking on him. The bully was of course much bigger than the boy. So Waka advised the boy that the next time that he gets bullied, that the boy should counter by punching the bully in the groin. So the next time, that's what the small boy did, and he succeeded because he defeated the bully. At the end of the episode, the boy came to Waka again. He said he still has a problem with the bully, because now the bully put a wood slab over his groin to protect it. So the bully is still a problem. At this point, Wakayama says "Sorry, I don't know how I can help you. You have to figure this out yourself." 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
