Favorite movie knife scenes

The Endura in "Cliffhanger" was awfully cool.

The use of a lighsaber by Qui-Gonn Jin to cut through the blast doors in Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace was pretty cool.

One of my recent favourites is in X-Men when Wolverine cuts through a shotgun pointed at the back of his head and you see the shot pour out. Cool scene.

The khukhuri and bowie knife in Bram Stoker's Dracula were both cool and used in some awesome scenes.

Where there is a throat cutting scene, the result is almost always a red slit. Not realistic.

The only one I remember that does show what happens is movie with Bob Hoskins playing an English gangster who jams a broken bottle into a guys neck and it spurts all over the place and the guy shakes from the loss of bloodflow to the brain until he dies. Very realistic scene.

Don't remember the name of the movie.

The Hoskins movie was "The Long GoodFriday"
or maybe Friday been awhile but it was a great movie.Funny you mention it today being GoodFriday and all.

The Bob Hoskins movie is great! I love the scene at the end of the movie.
Bob Hoskins is trapped in the cab because the IRA killer (Pierce Brosnan) aim with a gun at him. No dialoque, only because of Hoskins mimic you see he has realized he will die now. An impressing scene!

Anyone know the name of this one?
Christopher Lambert meets Joan Chen in a bar.Later a masked ninja kills Chen & goes after Christopher,who is befriended by a master swordsman.There is an epic battle on the "bullet train" as it speeds through Japan.Terrific action movie.
 
Yes it is called "The Hunted" Great Ninja stuff :-S Especially where the old maker teaches Lambert swordcraft, enough to keep up with a master. Right.

Still entertaining, I, like a lot of other people would like to see more realism in movies, then I back off and say hey it's just entertainment. This irritates the hell out of the wife when I point out mistakes in movies. . . at the theatre!

Dirt Hary when taping the switch blade to his leg and his Lieutenant says something similar to "it's a discrace that a cop has to use such a thing". Then when he uses it on the little creep right through the leg oouch!!!
 
Forget the name of this flick, but I liked it. Scott Glenn is an amateur boxer down on his luck, and he gets hired to carry a sword back to Japan. Turns out the sword is one of a matching set - there are two master swordsmen (brothers) who each own one, and they're both trying to get each other's sword so they can have both. Glenn becomes a student, and finally avenges his Master, and wins the other sword in a nice fight at the end.

Best scene doesn't involve blades, though. The Japanese students take Glenn out for dinner, and they get, like, extreme sushi. Of course, Glenn doesn't want to offend, so he does his best to keep up - so they put this little eel in a glass of water - everyone drinks it down no prob, except for Glenn. He drinks, and says "I can still feel it wiggling!" Then downs a couple of cups of sake you wash it down.

Yoshio Harada portrayed the ninja hating sword master in The Hunted. Some years earlier, he played a scar faced ronin in the moody, excellant period film, Hunter in the Dark
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0079317
and in addition to larger weapons, Harada took out most of a clan in such a claustrophobic room fight that his big knife was more effectively used than their swords.

A variety of swords and knives are featured in the all time classic Gunga Din (BW 1939). Including such notables as the English P1895 modification to the classic 1856 bayonet.

I must have passed this movie by for decades before I finally decided to watch it as an adult. What a mistake that was! This is perhaps one of the all time great comedy action adventures with an all start cast headed by a very young (and funny) Cary Grant. The only thing that comes close to the pace of this movie is the original Raider's of the Lost Ark.

The last 63 years have done nothing to reduce the impact of this great movie.

Does anybody know what knife was used by Ice-T in the movie "3000 miles to Graceland" ? He had nice carrying system too.
