movies with well staged played out sword fighting scenes are too few and far between. a long shot of sword fighting, not the 1/2 second spliced scenes where you can't tell wtf happens and moreover, you can tell that actors can't sword fight worth a shit. see zoro w/ tyrone power and basil rathbone. the classic. rathbone said that power could fence errol flynn into a box.
The real Army, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage uniforms, from whom impossible efforts would be demanded and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That's the army in which I should like to fight.”
