Bond vs. Graves (Die Another Day, 2002) Bond vs. Graves (Die Another Day, 2002)
Posted by: foolishosric

Video duration: 419 seconds

Graves (Toby Stephens) bets on a fencing match against Bond (Pierce Brosnan), which then escalates alarmingly.
Point of interest, even though the design of Bond's fencing jacket may accommodate for it, it STILL looks like it's wrong handed (i.e., zipper always goes on the opposite-handed side, so there's no place for an opponents point to catch)

D'Artagnan (Gene Kelly) meets with Athos (Van Heflin), Porthos (Gig Young), and Aramis (Robert Coote) on a matter of honor, and unite to fight the Cardinal's Guard.
Gene Kelly is quite possibly the most clownish D'Artagnan I've ever seen.

Hubert (Danny Kaye) is placed under a spell by Griselda (Mildred Natwick), so that he can go toe-to-toe with Ravenhurst (Basil Rathbone).
With Kaye's clowning around, Rathbone's self-parodying, and flashing blades, what more could one want?

The Finale from The Mask of Zorro. Now that I think about it, the dialogue is pretty hammy, but the swordplay is fast and furious and stunts quite good.

Justin (Peter Strauss) takes on Jenner (Paul Shenar) as the return of Mrs. Brisby (Elizabeth Hartman) puts a dent in the latters plans.
In the commentary track of the DVD, Don Bluth says that he took this fight shot-for-shot from some other film, but refused to name it. Anyone out there have a guess?

Errol Flynn struts his stuff! Sure, it plays like a copycat of Captain Blood (could they have used ANY of Sabatini's original novel?), but it's fun in it's own right.
