Whaaat. Such a prissy duel. The guy just stands there and lets him slice his neck open.
This is more like it.

Finally, someone else who appreciates the first Punisher movie.
Well, technically it's the second Punisher movie, after the lame late 80's adaptation with Dolph Lundgren.
But yes, it's an excellent movie that is criminally underrated IMHO. I'd put it up against the best of the many Marvel adaptations out there.

Anyway, here is one of the best sword fights I've ever seen.
Easily one of the best fight scenes, period. There's a number of reasons it's so good, aside from the fact both actors look like expert swordsman.
-No music until the cimax.
-The sporadic bursts of action are offset by some wonderfully tense shots of each actor's face. Neeson's look of fear after Roths' first attack says it all: "I am way out of my league.."
-It's a classic example of modern technology usurping the archaic. Roth's weapon and technique were far superior. It was only guts and heart that won the fight.
This is more like it.

Very sad but true. The 13th Warrior is about as good as it gets.slimgrin wrote...
I don't suppose one should take that Viking battle seriously, but hollywood has yet to represent the Norsemen faithfully.
But also stand inexplicably still while a defeated opponent grabs his sword and gets to his feet then kills him? Liam should've tweaked his nose first and then it would be a great scene.And Tim Roth's character was a priss, a priss who could gut you in a flash. Thats what made his character great.

Has Tim Roth ever played a a character that doesn't make you want to vomit when you watch him? I'm not dissing him, quite the contrary he plays a great villain,he just makes it really hard to watch sometimes. I thought Vatel was his best performance, apparently I was wrong.

I can see that- it's well acted, there's no doubt about that- but like someone said, it amounts to an idiot moment. Hence why I'd still put the 13th Warrior duel above it, which is very similar but more convincing in that the overconfident one didn't have any time at all to react before his head was off. But I could just be biased because I like Vikings a lot more than Renaissance prats. Also I've only seen pieces of Rob Roy.greengoron89 wrote...
I think he was a bit in awe of what Liam was doing in the first place - it's not very often that an opponent just up and grabs the blade of your sword during a fencing duel. It would seem like a rather stupid thing to do at a glance, and this is probably why Tim Roth's character wasn't as responsive as he should've been until it was too late.

Realistically, he could have pulled straight back and stabbed Neeson right in the eye. But it's the only point in the fight that asks the viewer to suspend their belief so it didn't bother me.
I would've posted a scene from Gladiator, the first group battle with the chariots. I couldn't find a quality clip of it on youtube.
