The Duellists – Ultra Realistic Movie Sword Fight

Give me a break… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljExTEPNFnM

The bald guy always loses.

Great movie

Yea, it looks like its from a real movie.

ho shiet!!

QUESTION: This movie is considered to have some very realistic dueling scenes.
But how come when we watch dueling in the Olympics, it's completely different ???
For every round (or reset) it usually takes about 2 seconds for one of the duelers to make contact with their opponent.
However, in the bull-crap movies, even like this one, there is a lot of BLOCKING with the swords, and it takes a long time for one of the fighters to make contact with the other.
Isn't it true that dueling scenes, even in the better movies, are still utter bullshit ???

"ultra realistic" ??? this is some hipster shit. Don't get me wrong… nice movie, but "ULTRA REALISTIC"?? cmon dude.

we'll never see such filmmaking anymore

yeah this is not really realistic, don't even know what ultra realistic is supposed to mean

Fucking Ridley Scott. Half the scene it was impossible to tell what was happening

I was so sure the description and title were going to be leading me towards a really silly badly filmed movie fight.

Harvey Weinstein lookin like post Malone in this bitch

Spoiler: Harvey Keitel's character survives the duel. The character played some actor nobody knows dies. Bet you didn't see that coming at the start of the movie, huh?

The little girl didn't seen look impressed at all.

fight for the honor
fight for the splendor
fight for the pleasure
fight to the death

You knew who was going to win even before the duel started. It was written in the balding mans look. He wasn't very confident to begin with.

You called the Wolf?

that sword is super thin, probably not a fatal wound

lol "ultra realistic". yeah this is totally realistic m8

When does the realistic part start?

so simple… and very intense… wow.. Hollywood is getting worse these days.. they focus on gender, multiculturalism bullshit.. and over kill CG..

"You… bastard. That was my…. favorite…. …. shirt…" *dies *

my only complaint is he stabs him in the heart and then next shot he has stabbed him much lower down in a much less lethal place.

YOU DIED

OH GOD DAYM
Good bloody show

Как в этот дом попадают? По верёвочной лестнице?

Even Monthy Phyton and anime fight is way more realistic than this…

Thats what happens when you send 'The Wolf' to duel

So at 2:08 its just below his heart and at 2:12 its a hands width lower?

Ultra realistic .. blinded by his own pig tails several times. Win.

And he did not even pointed down, how cool is that

how the fuck is this "ultra realistic"

Much more fun to watch.

Fun Fact: The actor duelling Harvey Keitel is Matthew Guinness, son of Sir Alec.

This is spectacular! I'm gonna go se this movie right now!

I have no idea why more movies don't do this. If crazy, over-the-top, unrealistic action makes a fight scene better… they why the fuck is this one so good??

Im too beta male for friendly competition, I cant imagine competition to the death.

poor motherfucker is going to die a very long and painful death from that stab wound

(1:05) Is that a smoke pot out in the distance? Or just a naturally occurring "fog hole"? heheheheh 😉 Great fight! 🙂

damn, who knew Post Malone could throw down with the ole' thrusting sword

Wow super fake though
Better now with CGI
