Final scene in Gladiator. It’s not flashy but I like it.
@TNDawg71 amen sir. The final sword fight Rob Roy’s is indeed realistic looking in my opinion. Both of the fighters are exhausted and particularly the character being portrayed by Liam Neeson, probably due in part to his blood loss, with multiple injuries sustained in the fight. The final killing blow that he gives is both epic, and it is most grotesque too.

Yoda vs Count Dooku
He was kind of a good guy in 4 rooms.
Is North and South the one with Patrick Swayze?
If you go way...waaay back to before wires and digital magic, check out Errol Flynn's movies like Captain Blood and Robin Hood. He did all his own work, all real, AKA ''in camera''.
Also!
Most folks probably haven't seen this. Some of the older star wars animations were simply amazing. The scene where Sidious (younger emperor Palpatine) shows up and takes Maul and Savage to school is amazing. This is probably my favorite "Sword fight" of all time. Yeh it's a cartoon, but I still love it.

An honorable mention. If you have never seen Mace Windo go on a rampage in the original Clone Wars movie you are in for a treat. This animation is very much more comic book style, but it's hilarious.

Very nice mention!
Season 1 of Spartacus is some of the best TV I've ever seen.
Sigh.... I can tell I'm not going to get anything done today at work now lol.
Holy cow that's pretty cool. I've never seen any of those animated SW shows. So, Darth Maul is the 'good guy' in these?
WELL DONE!!!!
No, he's not good. His sole purpose is revenge against Obi Wan for defeating him. In fact, they eventually have their final showdown in the Rebels series. It's both a blessing and a curse that the Star Wars story lines are so scattered amongst different media.
Reading through this thread it seems the appreciation of real vs digital is being lost forever.
Meh, it's all make believe for entertainment anyways. I appreciate various forms of it.
RxD. sports are nothing but entertainment as well. I idea people are actually doing things vs made up from pixels or flying on wires elevates the real over the pretend in my book. I've never cared much for the Kill Bill and Hong Kong originated stuff where people are hooked to wires and do things humanly impossible. To each their own, but I'd hate for the world to lose sight of the difference.
Not a sword fight per se, but when Optimus Prime and Megatron go at it with an axe and mace on their hands in the original cartoon....well I don't have to tell you my heart was in my throat
But sports aren't make believe. Well... the vast majority aren't anyways. That is the primary reason it's entertaining. And this off topic subject is about sword fights in movies anyways.
