Best movies about Knights with realistic combat.

Just wanted to know.

Maybe I'm getting too into Berserk, but I really wanna see more realistic style fights.

Preferably from REALLY good movies.

I see some good fights from King Arthur movies.

Ironclad is the only one that comes to mind. Brutal and realistic knight fights. Best sword fight would still be Troy even though it's not knights. Problem with Excalibur is that the fight scenes move a bit too slow.

Well, I look fights that draw out for a bit, and aren't big armies going at it where you see people going ranged immediately.

Crossbows are great, but when are realistic 1-on-1 medieval sword fights ever shown.

Like that scene where King Arthur fought Lancelot in that one movie was pretty good, and some other fights in game of thrones were awesome.

Also, is there any movie that realistically follows the Knight vs Dragon trope?

Give Ironclad a shot. Last knights as well. To be honest, I don't really know of any movie that shows realistic knight sword combat. The longsword is not as easy to use as a scimitar or katana. So unless actors have proper training with it, they just look clumsy and slow with a longsword

Rob Roy. It's a medieval-ish movie. The sword fight at the end is nothing short of excellent.

I also should mention I HATE rapiers, and fencing.

Fencing to me, is not even considered medieval sword fighting, its dueling.

What I'm talking about is anything that involves a medieval type of sword that isn't a rapier.

Longsword fights would be GREATLY appreciated, one-on-one if possible.

So basically longsword duels. That's tough. The ones that come to mind are:

1. King Arthur
2. 13th Warrior
3. Excalibur
3. Ironclad
4. Red Sonja (lots of longsword fights here)
5. Conan
6. Willow
7. Last Knights
8. 7th Son
9. Highlander series
10. Braveheart
11. Dragonheart

Not all of those will have knights, but all have longswords

So, I started watching a swedish movie called "ARN: The Knight Templar".

Haven't even made it through the first ten minutes and it got me right in the feels.

Also got 4 out of 5 stars on Netflix, so they're doing something right.

As I said, its on Netflix of you wanna watch it, with english subs.

It starts out really good, too.

Edit: Never mind, they can speam english just fine apparently, LOL.

Would you even recognize a realistic sword fight if you saw one?

A duel between two armoured knights wielding longswords looks nothing like it does in fictional media. It's more wrestling than swordplay. It is impossible to cut through plate mail with a sword.

I can't recall a single film that depicts it like that.

Re: Re: Best movies about Knights with realistic combat.

Excalibur did for the most part. Arthur Vs Lancelot was basically a shoving match with both of them trying their best to hit between their opponent's unarmoured joints.

Exactly.

First thing I think of.

Also, the one where the Black Knight fought that guy in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, despite it being a comedy movie, is pretty realistic. (Not King Arthur, the one who fought him before that.)

I know Berserk isn't in the realm of realism, nor are most sword fights, but it doesn't mean there aren't any.

Don't give a **** whether it's Knights anymore, but I've found that apparently this apparently super highly acclaimed movie "The Duellists" has the most realistic sword fights in history.
