"Britcanuck",

Howard Hughes had a horrid reknowned rally remonstrative randy reputation for basically bringing a bunch or beavy of beauties into all his finely finished films.

I was warily wagering that do you decidedly consider or consign cutting instruments of about 14 inches to somehow said to be swords?




Having not yet seen "Son of Sinbad", I can't comment on that.

And there have been a few knife clips posted in the past, and even a few clips featuring melee weapons ( http://com2.runboard.com/bswordswomen.f7.t277 ). A little off-topic, but I decided not to delete them. I figured that if people want those clips, there they are, and if not, the links time out if no one downloads them within a set time period.

Re: The List


"Britcancuk",

I was not wantonly or wearily detailing or denoting that the swords in "Son of Sinbad" worn by the women warriors were under 14" (They, truly, were true sure sharp scimitars set sure and laid or lain to the lawful length.), but I was waywardly wondering or was wanting to know if the rightful real rule on swords at your site is somehow supposedly set stylistically at 14"? This is traditionally the true distinct direct defination detailing a supposed sure sword. So, with this trusty theme stated with surely sharp swords...

I merely made mention of this faithful format for the laid out legal length of swords to see if I should mention other pointed potential possibilities and perhaps propose them into precise prospective play?

Such as the short sword salaciously shown basically being brandished or slung around by Judy Geeson in "Berserk", where she is seen to slaughter several such persons. In a similar sort of situation in a verily various vein, we see Faith Domergue in "Vendetta" variously overtly oppressively opening other people's veins with various very sharp deadly dire daggers.

Now, fortunately we find Faith Domergue is duely decidedly an intriguing and interesting individual. In fact, Faith was factually found fingering a foil in the singularily superb 1956 TV swashbuckler, "Count Of Monte Cristo", with George Dolenz, but she is surely said to be best known for her rightly regaled role in: "This Island Earth".

Speaking of sharp short swords, I shall or should say that Gale Sherwood seemed to show a short sword in "Blonde Savage" (1947), where we will find her ferociously flinging out a liberally licentiously long knife or supremely short sharp sword. It seeems to be somewhat over the really reel requesite fourteen inches as invariably implied in the inscribed rules? Gratitiously, Gale Sherwood is generously and genuinely shown or set to be basically a big beautiful blonde jungle queen, and Lief Ericson (not the noted Norse explorer) and Veda Ann Borg, who is viewed as veddy verry vapid in the film are also assigned to play a part in this prospective film.

Then in supposed short sharp swords or lacivious long lethal knives, I should say something sharp about the "Daggers and Declotage"which was deemed to denote a distinct discriptive display. Invariably, in the High or Late Renaissance Italy, it is invariably invidiously insinuated by a few foreign films and a few non-foreign films that the women winsomely will be dressed in daring non-discrete non-demour declotage and who will wantonly be wild women with dirks and dangerous dames with deadly daggers. I will wagishly warrant that Belinda Lee's lusty liason as the lurid Lucretia Borgia was not the last in this line.

Re: The List


There was the chic cheap and curiously crude Cheech and Chong Corsician Brothers, but it being basically a big banal bothersome film, I feel fairly funny finally following-up and making mere mentioning of it. This film is felicitiously filled and full of fetid foul deliberate and decidedly druged jokes; judiciouly, it just also shows Shelby Fiddis (Chong) as a prospective princess in this production who perfectly and perceptably possess a pointy sharp sword, and she shows it in a sallow and surely shallow send-up of swordwielding swashbucklers.

Probably, I presently should perhaps pause and pleasantly proscribe that Miss Rachel Weisz's weally wonderful sword wielding opposite or otherwise opponent in "the Mummy Returns", whom we find was Patricia Velasquez, who valiantly and very vigorously was viewed a-vailing herself against Rachel in a really reel exciting fantastic feverish fencing scene.

Somehow I should say something about Ramsay Ames in her befitting role in "Beauty and the Bandit", with Gilbert Roland (1946), she should also be seen in "The Gay Cavalier". No, I am naturally not talking about the 1957 TV series with Christian Marquard as Claude Duval, where in each and in every episode, he honestly had a host of fabulously fine females, such as Hazel Court and others, many of whom we will warrant wielded swords.

However, we will wonderously see Ramsay Ames in Beauty and the Bandit was basically being brought into California on a big boat, but she was disguised and decidedly dressed and assumed as a young male fully from France of the eighteen-forties, who wore a wide belt and foil. I can not reliably rightly recall if she ultimately used or utilized her sword in the series show, but I seem to think she did show swordplay.

I have honestly had it handed that the inspired interplay between Miss Ames and Gilbert Roland were rather remarkably in many ways to the real relationship on the reel screen which we saw with Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones in Zorro.

I should say something more comprehensive about the "Cisco Kid" cinematic efforts, but I will wait for later?


Must make moves and manage to move, sorry!

Re: The List


Kevin, at Yahoo's "Sexy Swordswomen" group, (no-wait membership) posted a "Lost and Delirious" clip starring Piper Perabo. Yes, she does some angry fencing, and in another clip stabs a guy.

The clip is AVI.

Haven't seen the whole movie, so I checked with IMDb and am now reluctant to say more.

Also, Serenity Wilde's twenty seconds of glory is posted on that site.

Re: The List


In TV Series, please add "Covington Cross" with Ione Skye slinging a sword when not aiming her crossbow. One episode she fights her amorous interest with a broadsword until she discovers...

Re: The List


"Drace-68",

I was working on a way to mention Ione Skye, but I basically was befret of any basis to talk of her curious character in Covington Cross. I have hastened to have several shots of her with a huge, heavy crossbow; however, I have honestly seen no such swords. The episode descriptions seem to strongly support the fact that she was seen with swords, but...

Re: The List


From Covington Cross - episode 3: Ione Skye as Elinor, in her brother's armor (14th cent.)
Image

A camera shot from a vhs display.

She has just defeated her lover (now off-screen) and is comforted by her father - Series nemesis in black.

There is credible jousting and swordplay by her brother before he's fouled.

This topic hasn't received any new posts for a while, so I've given it its own category on the main page and moved it to that category. Updates to the list are always welcome.

Re: The List


Hallmark did a 'daughter of D'Artagnon' type mini series called LA FEMME MUSKETEER. Susie Amie plays the lead role. The movie itself is a bit embarrassing but some of the swordfighting isn't too bad. I say that hopefully because some of it is mine. 27 fight sequences in 8 weeks of shooting. I would be interested in any comments on the fighting in this productions.
