The best sword fighters without a doubt are the, jedi. Obi Wan vs Anakin in episode 3 is the most spectacular piece of sword fighting you will ever see.

Only if you're talking Hollywood movies from the last fifteen years.
 
Azumi, she killed over 100 people in one fight scene
 
I liked the sword fights in The Last Samurai...Ken Watanabe and Tom Cruise were great in the film!
 
Did anyone see Rutger Hauer in Blind Fury? That has to be one of the best. Sho Kosugi in every movie he made(not to mention that he choreographed and appeared in Blind Fury as well as choreographing swordplay in many films that he did not personally appear in)- Toshiro Mifune in any of his Samurai movies- Wesley Snipes in Blade-
 
Conan, Achilles & Maximus all have good skills.
 
that dude made out of sand from Hellboy

Errol Flynn
Basil Rathbone(sword figher in real life)
Douglas Fairbanks

Tyrone Power
Robert Taylor
Stewart Granger
Burt Lancaster

Best sword fighers ever in cinema story.

Bob Anderson, who who was the Sword master on the LOTR movies, and also worked with the likes of Errol Flynn, considers Viggo Mortensen to be the most natural swordsman he had ever encountered.

no, i didn't like Azumi that much, I preferred his earlier film, Versus.

Azumi is lame really, Azumi 2 is vaguely better. Kitamura's best film is Sky High.
 
1. Kyuzo from the Seven Samurai--only swordsman I've ever seen in a movie who never, ever clashed blades with his opponent: he only ever needed a single, calculated stroke.

2. Li Mui Bai--he bested another Wudan fighter, who had a magic sword, with just a stick as his weapon.

3. The Bride/Beatrice Kiddo--she took on 87 wired-up stuntmen. Not bad.

4. Dread Pirate Wesley--He proved better than Inigo Montoya, and fought as well with one hand as the other.

5. Robin Hood (Errol Flynn)--That he could fence so well while chafing in those green tights is certainly amazing.
 
I really think Inigo Montoya should have beaten Wesley/Pirate Roberts. To this day, I consider that a 12-5 upset as far as sword-fighting goes.

I wouldn't say lame, I enjoyed it for what it was. I have seen better films in the genre, but it was entertaining.

Plus, I thought it had a fantastic opening, one of the best I have seen in any movie.

I agree with you on those. Not sure why people are saying the Bride in Kill Bill 1/2 if she had her ass handed to her by the Chinese Master.:huh: :huh:

I would guess Blade would go as one of the best (of course he is not fully human). The same would go for Darth Maul (I didn't see the other Jedi's fight as awesome as he did).
 
I like sword fights in pirates of the caibbean 1 and 2. I also like sword fights masters of universe. Another good one is the phatom.
