Top 10 Sword Fighting Films

Hi everyone!

This video is the first in a series I wanted to make on the top 10 "sword fighting" movies, in this case restricted loosely to fencing-based movies i.e. not medieval or ancient or Eastern in style.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hi everyone!

This video is the 8th in the series of the top 10 "sword fighting" films, in this case restricted loosely to fencing-based movies i.e. not medieval or ancient or Eastern in style. i.e. no. 3 in the top ten!

Apologies to everyone for the delay in getting this one up - other videos have interrupted production, as well as work commitments, and the sheer volume of sword fights in this movie!

But here is the next sword fighting film, and it is an awesome, if slightly weird, one!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

This is a short video apology for the delay in my latest sword fighting films video (No. 3) being released and an explanation as to why. Specifically there is now officially a company worse than CBS for obstructing Fair Use of material in review films. Namely TF1 DA - TF1 Droits Audiovisuels. They truly suck.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Hi everyone!

This video is the 9th in the series of the top 10 "sword fighting" films, in this case restricted loosely to fencing-based movies i.e. not medieval or ancient or Eastern in style. i.e. no. 2 in the top ten!

Apologies to everyone for the delay in getting this one up - other videos have interrupted production, as well as work commitments, and the annoyance caused by TF1 over the previous video in the series.

But here is the next sword fighting film, and it is an awesome, even if it only has one (and a half) sword fight(s)!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Just a gentle practice session, first using my left hand as a fun warm up (to annoy everyone ;) ), then moving to my dominant right hand.

Enjoy the silliness! :)

I made a target practice device for epee fencing! :D :D

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Since the false DMCA claims on Best Sword Fighting Film No. 1 seems to be dragging on forever, here's a little silly club epee fencing to keep you amused in the mean time.

Hope you enjoy! :D :D

Hi everyone!

This video is the 10th in the series of the top 10 "sword fighting" films, in this case restricted loosely to fencing-based movies i.e. not medieval or ancient or Eastern in style. i.e. no. 1 in the top ten!

This is a two parter - this first half covers the cinematography, acting etc. Part 2 will follow shortly covering the sword fights themselves.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
