Post your favourite movies that have knife related action. My favourites are:

-Crocodile Dundee
-Predator
-The Hunted
-Seraphim Falls
-Gangs of New York
 
The Edge
Pitch Black
Seraphim Falls


in that order. I like how realistically the knife is portrayed as a tool in The Edge. It doesn't show a bunch of idiots attacking a bear with a folder. Instead, they used it to make fire for warmth and protection, build traps and spears.
 
Crocodile Dundee ("...This is a knife")
Big Trouble In Little China (Gerber Tac II)
 
Ah come on - 3 posts and no "Rambo" ???


Gangs of New York is a great knife movie.
 
My taste in films has moved on a bit since, but as a 10 or 12 year old knife fanatic, I was mightily impressed by the following knives:
Jimmy Lile - First Blood
Jimmy Lile - Rambo part II
Herman Schneider - Cobra
Jack Crain - Commando
Jack Crain - Predator
Oh yes! Fond memories of trying to make a "Rambo" knife in Dads shed!!
Happy days indeed! :D

First Blood - Not my favorite, but one of the first to make me think of a knife as a tool for getting along in the wilderness.
Wanted Dead Or Alive - A scene where Rutger Hauer throws open a door and he's holding a CS Tanto ready to fight; I still remember that scene 20+ years later.
The Alamo - Bowie throws his knife on the table - I think the knife was a prop made to look like the one in Iron Mistress? I haven't seen The Iron Mistress yet, so I can't list that one.
Seraphim Falls - kinda off on the history, but fun to watch.
Battlestar Galactica - in the recent series, Starbuck has (I believe) a SOG Revolver.
Flight of The Intruder - Willem Dafoe "de-animates" :D a hostile with a CS bowie. not correct equipment for the time (no pilot I knew would carry anything like that knife) but the scene was interesting.

And last - Under Siege - Segal & Jones fight in the end. We all hoped Jones would gut Segal. Jones lost the fight. Dang.

thx - cpr

For actual fighting _ Exposure. Kinda hard to find, was never a major film. Stars Peter Coyote if you want to look for it.

For overall coolness _ Dune. Both the David Lynch film, and the Sci-fi channel's mini-series. Neither have realistic fighting, but the importance that knives play is made evident, if not quite so much as in the book.
 
rambo 3! just like the way the short sword i call it looks and i even have one of them junk ones from united!:)

I like the scene where he's looking for land mines with his knife. Every time I read about the Fallkniven MC1 Mine Clearance knife I think of Rambo 3.
 
Rambo first blood, I usually don't watch movies just because the main character has a blade like you guys lol.
 
if you want to see a knife movie, The Punisher is on right now on FX.

I just saw an Emerson Karambit, and a fixed blade I couldn't identify being used. A little graphic though.
 
SPARTAN! because i had a severtech when i got my copy of this movie! :D also the EDGE!:) and all the RAMBO movies!

I love that scene in the newest alamo movie, He throws that big ol knife on the table and makes that other guy look like he's peein in his pants.

Flight of the intruder is an awesome movie. I do love that scene you're talking about too. Right behind the collar bone.

+1 for "The Hunted" with Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Toro (i think thats the guy). I haven't seen it all the way through, but I have seen the training Tommy Lee Jines gives to his class about where to stab a guy, and the end scene where they duke it out with their knives.
