Best sword fight sequences (movie /tv)

I'd say one underrated sword fight movie (in sword play, the movies is kinda crap) is a movie called The Musketeer.
 
i like ong bak 2 badass fight scenes, theres a part where a guy gets hit and the head with a three section staff and runs off stage screaming lol dont think you can fake that where the movie is made..
lone wolf and cub are some of my favorites as well
 
Its pretty short, and not too flashy, but the fight in the 13th warrior is pretty sweet

The Mark Of Zorro 1942 ...Tyrone Power vs Basil Rathbone....both men were trained to fence in Europe..this was real..a must see...I was captain of fencing team in college,,,The scene when they fight near the end of movie is incredible.

Yes! Thank you. I was just going to say this but you beat me to it. These guys were the real deal and both very accomplished. Power was an especially adept swordsman.
 
Some more...

Sorry, something a little more recent.

4 assasins with 2 wakizashi's each in "Hitman". I liked it, anyway.

There will be a sequel to "Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon " movie this August !!
 
[video=youtube_share;AVaIvsw3NUw]http://youtu.be/AVaIvsw3NUw[/video] This one is a cut-together, but its a film well worth watching for the context for those scenes.
also there is a pretty good sequence at the end of harakiri: death of a samurai. But its a very long, not very happy film.
And this one from twilight samurai

The battle scenes in Red Cliff (one and two) are insane. stylized to be sure, but unlike say lord of the rings, which relied on copy/pasting a large number of extras, to the best of my knowledge they choreographed the fight scenes with massive piles of people. One thing the chinese do well, and that's throwing manpower at a problem!
 
hy guys a think this one its a great fight but ist not a sword fight in 100%

the red viper vs the mountain - the game of thrones

The fight scene with the ladders was epic it that one. And to stay on that note, we can't forget the 3 musketeers with Charlie Sheen, there was some great swordplay in that one also.
