Boulter’s Canary, actually the fight in Robin Hood was horribly, horribly bad. They looked like kids play-fighting with sticks, except they were using movie-fied greatswords instead. There’s no semblance of any swordplay, they bash the edges of the blades into each other, and they’re quite obviously unskilled fighters.

Are we thinking of the same fight, Sleel? Sean Connery vs Robert Shaw? Damned great broadswords? Hey, this is two middle-aged men swinging five feet of solid iron about. How much ‘swordplay’ do you expect?

Oh well, I liked it…

Sleel is thinking of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, with Kevin Costner as Robin and Alan Rickman as Nottingham.

I’d be interested in hearing a comparison between the movie and real-life…

What Denzel’s charactor said about the Silver Surfer was spot-on though.
