I just want to be entertained, if I want to watch two men trade swordblows like they're mailing letters to each other, I'll watch hema videos or some shit

Far from the best. But, notice they are not trying to clash their swords together. The purpose of sword fighting is to hit the flesh with your sword. This alone makes it better than the Prequeks.

That fucking movie sucks nigger dick. Those poor "flying with ropes" fights became the norm, and every chink kung fu movie became a soap opera with - flying with ropes- fights.
And what's with the fucking counter to reply, it was a failure last ti. E and they had to bring it back.

It's a throwback to classic wuxia movies of the 70's and 80's, "flying" and more supernatural elements was very common in kung fu movies of that time.

Sword of the Stranger
just the final battle, the rest of the movie sucks and watching it will actually detract from the good part

>>212941958
Yeah but the whole thing was wacky like five elements ninjas, crouching Tigger it's a fucking borefest filled with """"artsy" "" " vistas, and actors that hide their lack of martial skills under slow motion, close ups and all the gimmicks of the modern Chinese "epic" dribble.

The best to ever do it. I doubt this scene will ever be topped.

In reality his figures would've been sliced off.

Daring synthesis.

I swear there was a time when people understood you could accomplish great things through hard work and repetition.

Old shaw bros is more entertaining
This isn’t bad but not the same

No. That would be Rob Roy. Easily.

I watched this recently.
Pretty cool how they went through all the different weapons and showcased how they were used.

No. Every scene in Hero, for example, is better than any scene from this

>>212946899
I started watching that one but never finished. Seemed way goofier than what I was looking for at the moment.
Also, wasn't it about >>212941598
?

>>212946973
Yeah i felt the same way too to be honest, but i rewatched it with the commentary by Frank Djeng and found a whole new appreciation for it.

>you can cut through bone with a rapier using no momentum at all

>>212945555
Repetition, you say

No, that overly used little commie ghoul she fights is annoying to look at. She's the CCCP's favorite
