Can't remember the movie, can't remember much about it at all, but it was
great.

I'm probably going to get crucified for saying this, but Highlander had some
reasonably memorable swordplay.

I won't be crucifying you. Highlander has some great swordfighting. When
you have Bob Anderson as your swordmaster, it really couldn't be anything
but great.

The first fight in Princess Bride was pretty cool, too. In a different
way, of course.

Highlander was good, but I really liked the swordfights in the
Three/Four Musketeers.

Basil Rathbone as the bad guy = nice sword fights.

I guess I can admit this with a broadminded person such as yourself!

Forgive me, but I seem to remember a thread from a couple of years ago --
maybe during "Crouching Dragon" or that Nija "3 Musketeers" movie, in which
somone alleged that virtually *all* of Hollywood's sword fights were
choreographed/staged/fought by students of one guy. Some guy in the valley
who's old man taught Douglas Fairbanks and the family's been in on every
cinema swordfight ever since.

Maybe you have to be a fencing freak or something.

But the point of the post was that every swashbuckling movie essentially had
the same swordplay.

I might be confused.
