Anyone here ever "redone" a bad movie sword fight?

Alright, so who has a camera and video editing equipment? Also, what movies would be the most 'ripe' to redo? Probably something with a rapier-rapier fight?

[Peter Goranov]

It's significantly more realistic than most in terms of visceral tension and the phrasing of the fight. I still can't get over the way Liam Neeson held his claymore like a baseball bat, though....

Yes although if i remember correctly, he wanted to use the Claymore two-handed but the handle was too short for both palms to fit, so he grabbed his right wrist instead. Is this a valid move or is this made-up Hollywood stuff?

Hollywood stuff, I think. Grabbing the wrist wouldn't provide much advantage in power, control, or leverage; he could just as well have grabbed the pommel if he really needed an effective two-handed grip.
