That is one seriously underrated movie. One of my favourite duel scenes, together with the Neeson/Roth fight in Rob Roy (another underrated movie).
I love the pace of the fight. No one banging swords together for the sake of frenetic action. It's all in the tension of the poised blade.
agreed! both outstanding movies, and criminally underappreciated
I bloody love this film! Hard to find and few people seem to have seen it, but I think it is one of Scott's best!
Same here.

Brilliantly done. For some reason I just couldn't take my eyes off those braids. Great posting :)
The braids really are something. But Harvey Keitel pulls it off. I think if I were his opponent, I'd be far more impressed by his stare than his weapon.
