The Baddest Mofo To ever hold a Knife!?

"1) Who's the Badest MOFO to ever hold a knife!?

3) Best use of a knife in a scene? (utility)

5) The coolest overall scene with a knife?

6) Most intense scene with a knife."

I think all of these questions can be answered with one man/scene/movie- (Note: It isn't Lynn Thompson from Cold Steel's "Proof" series):jerkit:

Scott Glenn, in the movie, "Night of the Running Man"! His character is that of a mob-hired hitman, and in one scene, he uses a full-dress Emerson CQC6 to brutally, and effectively stop, but not "de-animate" (sorry for the Dark Ops terminology), an armed man who tries to mug him. Leaving the mugger alive, but without the use of his eyes, Glenn's character sarcastically says, "Get a dog!" And this was a "B-budget" movie, too!

Best wishes,
3Guardsmen

Maybe he did something like that in that movie too, but I was talking about the movie made in 1991.

Not in "Silence of the Lambs". Trust me. I don't even think the Civilian was available yet. I haven't actually seen "Hannibal" but if you do a search, you'll find that he has both a Civilian and a Harpy (it looks like he used the Harpy on some guy, not the Civilian, but purchased a Civilian later).
 
A few memorable knife scenes that come to mind (I'll try to not duplicate here but offer no guarantees):

- In Braveheart, when the nasty gray-haired guy cut Murron's throat when she was tied to a post.

- In Cliffhanger, when the good guy is hanging off a cliff and the bad guy is about to wind up and kick him off, gg pulls out a Spyderco and stabs him in the knee with it.

- In Stir of Echoes, when the wife is nervous about leaving the house to go to a seedy part of town, she sneaks her husband's Benchmade Elishewitz Spike out of his tool belt by the front door.

- In Phantasm, when Mike is chased by The Tall Man®, who gets his hand caught in a slamming door: Mike notices fingers flopping on his side of the door, whips out a pretty big hunting knife, and chops off the fingers to take home with him. (They bleed yellow goop.)

- In Freddy Got Fingered, when that nutjob Tom Green cuts open a deer he found dead on the highway, guts it, and parades around wearing the bloody skin and head, freaking out a trucker who hits him.

- In Kung Fu Hustle, when one of the Axe Gang throws an axe at a rival gang member who is running, and the axe hits him in the calf and severs his foot.

- Honorable mention goes to Burt Reynolds in his movie Heat, in which he slashes a guy across the face with a credit card! (I'm not sure if it was supposed to have been a sharpened credit card or just a regular one...)

Don't want to overlook the really cool movie Ravenous, in which the cannibal-killer guy digs up a knife he had previously stashed, and stabs the guy who played the principal in Ferris Beuller's Day Off. You get a glimpse of the knife: it appears to have a bone or antler handle, and a clip-point sawback blade.

I still think that scene in Goodfellas where Joe Pesci borrows that big kitchen knife from his mom is pretty cool. His mom says"What do you need that for?" and Joe says "Uh, we hit a deer, and it's hoof is caught in the grill and I need to cut it out," and then stabs that guy a bunch of times with it. I know it's not a "tactical bass-ass" knife, but I definately think Joe Pesci needs to be represented in this thread.

For me, the baddest mofo to ever hold an edged weapon in a movie is Russell Means in The Last of The Mohicans.

Exhibit A: Russell Means vs. Wes Studi in the final fight on the mountainside in the movie. Almost expected the words "Fatality!" to scream onscreen...

I know for a fact that that weapon has been described on these forums before, a maker on here actually made a gorgeous, fully useable one. Rifle stock? Gunstock war club?

Also, the movie Ravenous where the cannibal kills the guy with his knife is pretty good.
 
So great responses, yet no one has yet to mention what they thought of the scene at the end in V for Vendetta.

Anyone with me on that one????
 
I don't care for movies that depict instant death from thrown knives. I think it's silly and unrealistic. (Same thing with instant death from a single gunshot wound.)

Uma in Kill Bill taking out the Crazy 88 gang. Or when Uma chops the top of Lucy Liu's head off. That whole movie is great!

Of course what she has is not a knife, but since it is a blade and this is Blade Forums, we'll consider it.
 
Yeah, Uma Thurman is awesome!

She knife fights one black mamba in the beginning of vol. 1.

Uma Thurman's character was "Black Mamba" in the movie. Vivica Fox was "Copperhead".
 
Thanks, RF.

I guess I remembered the reverse because of the visual association.
 
Gotta be the Black knight...........:D

ARTHUR: You fight with the strength of many men, Sir knight.
BLACK KNIGHT: Who dares to challenge the Black Knight?
ARTHUR: I do not challenge you.
The BLACK KNIGHT stares impassively and says nothing.
ARTHUR: I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
Hint of a pause as he waits for a reaction which dosn't come. ARTHUR is only slightly thrown. ... I seek the bravest and the finest knights in all the world to join me in my court at Camelot ...
The BLACK KNIGHT remains silent
ARTHUR: You have proved yourself worthy. ... Will you join me?
Silence.
ARTHUR: A man of your strength and skill would be the chief of all my knights ...
BLACK KNIGHT: Never.
ARTHUR: You make me sad. But so be it. Come Patsy.
As he moves, the BLACK KNIGHT bars the way.
BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass.
ARTHUR: I have no quarrel with you, brave Sir knight, but I must cross this bridge.
BLACK KNIGHT: Then you shall die.
ARTHUR: I command you, as King of the Britons to stand aside.
BLACK KNIGHT: I move for no man.
ARTHUR: So be it!
ARTHUR draws his sword and approaches the BLACK KNIGHT. A furious fight now starts lasting about fifteen seconds at which point ARTHUR delivers a mighty blow which completely severs the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm at the shoulder. ARTHUR steps back triumphantly.
ARTHUR: Now stand aside worthy adversary.
BLACK KNIGHT: (Glancing at his shoulder) 'Tis but a scratch.
ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off.
BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't.
ARTHUR: (Pointing to the arm on ground) Well, what's that then?
BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse.
ARTHUR: You're a liar.
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on you pansy!
Another ten seconds furious fighting till ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHTS's other arm off, also at the shoulder. The arm plus sword, lies on the ground.
ARTHUR: Victory is mine. (sinking to his knees) I thank thee O Lord that in thy ...
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on then.
ARTHUR: What?
He kicks ARTHUR hard on the side of the helmet. ARTHUR gets up still holding his sword. The BLACK KNIGHT comes after him kicking.
ARTHUR: You are indeed brave Sir knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT: Had enough?
ARTHUR: You stupid b******. You havn't got any arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT: Course I have.
ARTHUR: Look!
BLACK KNIGHT: What! Just a flesh wound. (kicks ARTHUR)
ARTHUR: Stop that.
BLACK KNIGHT: (kicking him) Had enough ... ?
ARTHUR: I'll have your leg.
He is kicked. Right!
The BLACK KNIGHT kicks him again and ARTHUR chops his leg off.
The BLACK KNIGHT keeps his balance with difficulty.
BLACK KNIGHT: I'll do you for that.
ARTHUR: You'll what ... ?
BLACK KNIGHT: Come Here.
ARTHUR: What are you going to do. bleed on me?
BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible!
ARTHUR: You're a looney.
BLACK KNIGHT: The Black Knight always triumphs. Have at you!
ARTHUR takes his last leg off. The BLACK KNIGHT's body lands upright.
BLACK KNIGHT: All right, we'll call it a draw.
ARTHUR: Come, Patsy.
ARTHUR and PATSY start to cross the bridge.
BLACK KNIGHT: Running away eh? You yellow b******, Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!

Ok... Slightly of topic, but Rat's use of Mr. Busse's face on the dude from Zardoz... ( I think that was the film with Sean Connery)... Anyway, that's just madness.
OK, ok, back to topic. I'd go with Val Kilmer in Spartan... Very spartan use of a very spartan knife, which just happens to be called "the spartan"...
"Don't teach them to fight with knives, teach them to kill... Then maybe they'll send some poor SOB who knows knife-fighting to Hell..."
Something like that at least.
