Golden Age Hollywood spectacle in The Adventures of Robin Hood
Post-War Realism in Japanese samurai cinema (Seven Samurai)
Modern Era duels ranging from Star Wars lightsabers to Game of Thrones brutality
Plus, they salute the fight choreographers who make it all possible, Nick Gillard, Bob Anderson, Donnie Yen and break down famous sword fighting techniques like the parry and riposte, feints, disarms, and Iaido precision strikes.
Finally, they take a tour through some of cinema’s greatest sword battles:
The Princess Bride’s witty duel
Rob Roy’s brutal finale
Pirates of the Caribbean’s rolling water wheel fight
Kill Bill’s unforgettable Crazy 88 showdown
The operatic lightsaber clashes of Star Wars
