My fave is in "The Long Riders" David Carradine as Frank James has it out with Belle Star's ol'man Blue Duck (I think) and they go at it with Bowies. The best is when Carradine sticks his blade in Blue Duck's leg, leaves it there and takes Blue Duck's bowie. That movie is on my top 5 list...3 sets of brothers playing brothers.

Steven Seagal vs. Tommy Lee Jones in the closing moments of Under Siege.

proud to be part of the problem
 
Uh, well, Captain Hook vs. Peter Pan (in the cartoon movie). The Japanese remakes of Seven Samauri and King Lear also have some great blade scenes.
 
The entire movie "The Duelists" starring Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel and choreographed by the great William Hobbes.

The duel at the end of "Rob Roy".(also Hobbes? I can't remember..)

Alberta Ed: is there really a Japanese *remake* of Seven Samurai or were you refering to the Kurosawa original?

The first knife fight scene in Exposure when
Hermes gives bad guy#1 a reverse grip downward thrust to his neck/throat area. And
then gives bad guy#2 a reverse grip thrust to
abdomen (which is almost too late since he doesn't know their is another bad guy untill
Peter Coyote warns him).

BRAVEHEART -- the whole thing, really, but it sure was gratifying watching William Wallace slit the throat of that stinking tyrannical British lord after he had killed his woman!!! It's good to be part Scottish!!

It has to be in "THE IRON MISTRESS". Jim Bowie fights a man in a locked room with no lights at night. The only time they can see is when lightning flashes across a skylight in the roof.

Another favorite is any scene from the Akira Kurosawa classic "THE SEVEN SAMURAI".
 
Three Stooges, Malice in the Palace.

Not glamorous, fancy, or romantic, but the scene in "Saving Private Ryan" in the building between the Nazi (whom the group let go) and the Jewish guy in the platoon was the most realistic and gut wrenching fight scene I have ever seen filmed.
 
Tough call, and good thread! I have a tie: Either the final fight scene in "Jedi" between Luke and Vader, or the any fight from Highlander involving the Kirgan. The scene where he is assembling his sword in the hotel room is too cool.
 
I gotta go with Under Siege.Those short blades klinking together is too cool.

I'm with Carver. That scene in "Under Siege" always comes to mind as one of the best. I also really like the final scene of "Legends of the Fall" when Brad Pitt gets attacked by the bear and he whips out his fixed blade that had served him so well his whole life, and takes the bear on with it. I like the part where he chops the bear's claw off as a kid too.
 
Last of the Mohicans with Daniel DayLewis. Particularly the scene when Magua and unkus(not sure of the spelling on that one) Fight on the clifside. The amount of emotion in that scene is incredible. Always brings a tear to my eye

The fight scene in "Under Siege" is excellent, but I have to go with the final scene in "Last of the Mohicans." I cry every time and I love the music as much as the film sequence. I also love "Conan: The Barbarian." Arnold in his "ripped-out" days still facinates me...
Good tread...

There was a cheap forign made film about a man in south america I believe that wants this belium or german to train him in knife fighting the end is a long battle between the master of the german or whatever he is, and this main character. This is probably no help whatsoever forgot name, saw it twice along time ago on HBO.
 
Oberkommando, the movie is called 'Exposure' aka A High Art, Knifefighter. Stars Peter Coyote and is available through Barnes and Noble. The knife play was choreographed by martial artist Chris Kent.

It's based on Rubem Foneseca's A Grande Arte.
Look through the archives for Exposure, you weren't the only one to see it.

In fact, the last few movies I've seen recently are knife/blade related.

Such as Night of the Hunter, Hawk's Vengeance, The Duellists, and Exposure.

I happen to own the last three.


 
Hello,

I like "The Edge" with Anthony Hopkins scene when the cityslicker cut his own leg with the ATS34 blade 3.5 inches blade RC59 of his lockback folder and bleed, bleed...
This is as fast and as deadly as Steven Seagal but without Tommy Lee Jones.
I don't remember the stance anyway.
I liked the bear also.

My favorite character.

Also I like "Big Trouble In Little China" !

Cheers,

JM
