Seduction doesn’t count.
That’s a good example as well, the commander lets her lust for Spock blind her from her duty.
I’m not talking about seduction: we see Banderas learn how to handle a sword; we see him out-fight a number of foes in scene after scene; we see him steal the map; we see Zeta-Jones confront our hero by pointing a blade at his chest; we see him dismissively claim he doesn’t have the time to give her the proper instruction; she aforementionedly replies that she’s had the proper instruction since she was four, and drops into a fencing stance.
He responds by drawing his own weapon. Who’ll prevail in the ensuing fight? Will it be an effortless one-sided beatdown, or will they each do their level best to disarm the other for quite some time before one of 'em finally secures a winning advantage?
It’s still a seduction scene.
