Flynning	comment	The classic swordplay of Swashbuckling movies: Threaten high countered by parry high, threaten low countered by parry low, lather, rinse and repeat as you climb the spiral tower staircase, until the hero can drive his sword through the villain's heart. It looks exciting, and the "tink-tink-tink" of sword tips clashing has become so familiar to the ear over the decades that this is what most people would think of if you asked them to imagine a "sword fight". But it's not practical swordsmanship for a real, deadly fight. Instead, it's a type of choreographed fighting for show called Flynning, which often boils down to two combatants deliberately trying to hit each others' weapons with an impressive clanging sound, rather than trying to actually hit their opponent. Attacks will be deliberately aimed too high, off to the side, or fall short, such that it would miss the opponent even if they simply stood still. Yet the defender will still go out of their way to meet the misaimed strike in midair, instead of taking advantage of the attacker's mistake and striking at his defenseless opponent. In theatrics, this trick where two fighters take turns attacking and parrying in an endless loop is called "Pirate Halves." Whenever an attacker seems to attack into a parry instead of straight at their opponent's body, or the defender starts moving to parry an anticipated attack before they could have even seen it coming, it's a dead giveaway that they're following choreography. Note that just having a lot of parrying or blade-on-blade contact does not automatically make a fight Flynning; what makes it Flynning is that the participants pass up the most direct and obvious opportunities to kill each other, and ignore sound principles of defense in a way that they can only get away with because they're performing a choreographed dance with each other's cooperation. In the more flashy and energetic varieties of flynning you can expect to see a preposterously reckless offense, typically consisting of 360 degree spins and somersaults that would leave the back wide open. Another hallmark of Flynning is poor application of distance or measure, with the combatants switching between staying just out of reach from being able to deal any critical blows and getting close enough to even Blade Lock. To keep the excitement up, and sometimes to distract from poor blade work, the characters may chase each other through all sorts of locations and environmental perils as they fight. Exotic Weapon Supremacy will be in effect and Dual Wielding is fetishized as the mark of a superior fighter, often appearing in contexts where it was almost never practiced. Don't expect to see them used with correct technique, either. In the realm of knifeplay, most First Person Shooters do it quite improperly with the back slash which will result in a quick counterattack and subsequent death. Often done to maintain Bloodless Carnage, especially in works geared toward children. Can be used to keep production costs low in animated works with Limited Animation since Flynning can be portrayed via a repetitive loop of two characters whacking their blades against each other. Named for the film star Errol Flynn, who relied on it as the star of swashbuckling movies such as The Adventures of Robin Hood and Captain Blood, due to the fact that unlike many of the actors playing his opponents, he didn't actually know how to fence. Compare A-Team Firing, where instead of lots of sword clashing but nobody getting cut, you have lots of bullets flying but nobody getting shot. Contrast Single-Stroke Battle, where both fighters are clearly aiming to kill with their first strike. Poorly done Flynning can lead to Fight Scene Failure. See the Analysis page for a detailed discussion of why getting realistic fights on stage or film is a lot harder (and more dangerous) than it sounds. See also Combat Aestheticist.

This gets him in trouble in an early fight when he gets his sword stuck on a low ceiling and Rukia yells at him not to flail his sword around. As he gains skill and experience, he learns to stop doing this. Justified with Kira's fighting style as his zanpakuto's power doubles the weight of anything it hits. Thus he hits his opponent's weapon repeatedly until it's too heavy to lift.

Flynning / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem Critical hits in general involve a lot of spinning and jumping around. It gets really intense once the series hits the GBA, but even the more crudely-animated sprites from the Jugdral games have some elaborate gymnastics for critical hits. The most insane examples would have to be the Myrmidon and Swordmaster. They rely upon an insane amount of flashy jumps and pointless spinning. Even worse, the ones in Sacred Stones tend to be more effective than Eirika and her simple stabbing. In The Blazing Blade, Eliwood's critical animation has him hold up his rapier specifically for Audible Sharpness, swooshes it around before stabbing, and then do a backflip.

Flynning / int_39c20861	comment	In Highlander: The Series, this is done almost every episode. This is partly due to Rule of Cool, and partly because many of the guest stars had never before picked up a sword in their lives, so they had to rely upon Adrian Paul and the stunt coordinator to make the fights look exciting. In one commentary bit, it's mentioned that there's an easy way to tell whether the actors in a particular episode are any good with a sword: if the fight scene has a lot of cuts and changes in angle, it's done to disguise the weakness in an actor's form or to switch more capable stunt doubles in. If there are long periods without a cut or change in camera angle, then it means the actors for that fight were good enough to avoid all that. Fridge Brilliance kicks in when you realize that for Immortals swordplay is very different, because they can't just stab a vital place to finish it. They need a good, heavy, unimpeded swing which can only be done after you've tired your opponent out or disarmed them. That reasoning only works for really powerful Immortals, the younger ones can be incapacitated by the same blow that would work for a human. However since very few of the Immortals seen in the show are less than a century old most of them have built up that tolerance for pain.

If they were real life knife fighters they wouldn't keep at such a wide distance where neither of them would be in range to make a proper attack, and they would use their off hands for grappling in conjunction with the knifes instead of holding them behind their bodies and doing all the parrying with the blade like Olympic foil fencers.

Flynning / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: The villain of the book Maskerade complains about the unrealistic swordplay in operas (the book takes place in the Ankh-Morpork opera house). Ironically, he engages in an overly-clangy sword fight with another character, and dies when his opponent sticks the sword between his arm and his torso. Cue the super-long death speech. Lampshaded in Moving Pictures, where an inexperienced human has to fight a veteran troll actor, and doesn't fully realize it's fake. The troll explains that all he has to do is parry dramatically. Lampshaded in Wyrd Sisters, where Tomjon gets trapped in every live actor's nightmare: everyone else in the cast has forgotten their lines, gotten distracted, or developed stage fright. The poor guy foresees a fight scene in which he will have to "parry his own wild thrusts and stab himself to death." Exploited and counter-exploited in Monstrous Regiment. Corporal Strappi tries to humiliate Polly by "sparring" with the new recruit, fully expecting her to be unfamiliar with real swordfighting and try to hit his weapon. Polly understands this, and also knows she knows nothing about sword-fighting, so she gives him a headbutt instead.

Whenever he fights someone wielding a holy sword, he goes berserk and attacks the sword over and over again, even though his summoned swords always break against them, causing him to lose. Ritsuka Fujimaru points out that swordplay is about attacking the opponent's body, so Kiba could have won if he just bypassed the holy sword and stabbed the wielder, but he can't get over his hatred and keeps doing this in later fights. Realizing Kiba won't change anytime soon, Ritsuka provides him with Black Keys, which are durable enough to stand up to holy swords to give him a chance at survival.

Flynning / int_489ce4ff	comment	The Legend of Zorro: It has plenty of flynning in the climactic sword fight between the hero Alejandro (Zorro) and the villain, Armand. See this commentary by Matt Easton of Schola Gladiatoria. Wielding rapiers, Zorro and Armand both elect for Slice-and-Dice Swordsmanship instead of relying on thrusts, which they only attempt a couple of times. Whenever one of them does thrust, they do it in a telegraphed way that opens them to a counter: when Armand tries it inside the passenger car Zorro captures both of his swords, and when Zorro tries a thrust on the side of the locomotive, Armand strikes it from his hand, leaving it to be crushed by the train's wheels. Instead of closing the opponent's line of attack while advancing into distance to deliver a thrust, as a fencer is supposed to do, they spend a lot of time artfully swatting at each other's blades from out of distance, meaning that they aren't even getting close enough to hit each other. To be fair, a lot of this is hard to notice unless you slow the footage down because the film-makers make the characters look like they're at closer range through some clever Forced Perspective and fast-paced editing: you get a better idea of the actual distance whenever they circle around each other or attempt corps-a-corps, such as elbows or kicks that were out of distance but made to look like they connected. Obvious kills are missed. Several times Zorro dodges a wild swing by Armand that ends up missing by a huge margin. On the side of the locomotive boiler, immediately after the explosion caused by Elena throwing Armand's henchman from the train, Armand considerately continues to give ground while Zorro is busy climbing over an obstacle, instead of skewering Zorro while his guard is down. There's a Blade Lock where Zorro and Armand each use their empty hand to grab the other's sword arm, and they glower at each other while ineffectively pushing against each other for three seconds before Armand manages to throw Zorro on his back. A headbutt to the face or a knee to the groin would have ended that quicker. Rather egregiously, Zorro manages to knock Armand off the wood pile and into the cab of the engine, disarmed of his weapons. Zorro knocks Armand further back with a kick to the face, performed while hanging from the roof of the cab. Instead of dropping into the cab and finishing off his momentarily helpless opponent, Zorro inexplicably climbs back up on the roof and clambers out onto the boiler, giving Armand an opportunity to pull himself together, grab a gun, and take a shot at Zorro.

Of course, most of his weapon styles are based on the most stylish rather than practical options; he practices Gun Twirling, for example, which ironically enough makes him the worst gun user in the game, as his flashy animations slow his damage output compared to the rest of the party using the same weapon.

Flynning / int_49ad83ee	comment	While the normal melee combat animations in World of Warcraft tend to be pretty sensible, special attack animations tend the feature unnecessary amounts of spinning around or swinging the weapon. Some races' parry animations tend to be quite flashy, too. Sometimes partially justified by the race in question, but still silly. The blood elf is gonna parry and swing her weapon around behind her back to switch to the other hand. She's an elf. Given the intentionally comic-bookish and campy style of the game this is simply part of the style.

This quickly degenerates into a Bloody Hilarious farce when the Black Knight refuses to admit defeat or even that he's significantly hurt after losing an arm to Arthur. And persists when he's lost both arms. And both legs. Hilariously subverted during Lancelot's otherwise very Flynn-esque attack on Swamp Castle, as he slaughters guards and unarmed wedding guests without encountering the slightest resistance.

They are watching one of Swann's films, where he is fighting a villain. He looks at the screen, sees the villain and himself in obviously over-the-top swordplay, and says, "I thought I killed you," as his character in the film uses his own sword to knock the blade out of the villain's hand, before running him through with his own sword. Seeing this, Swann says, "Oh yeah, I did."

Flynning / int_631805af	comment	In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots the second fight between Raiden and Vamp has the two characters sending sparks through the air as they repeatedly block and parry each other's combat knives. Of course, actually getting two knives that small to collide real life even once would be difficult even if it was choreographed, and downright impossible (not to mention stupid and pointless) in a real fight. For all their effort, they may as well have aimed for their target's body and not their weapon, since in a knife fight the only target you can hit at that distance is your opponent's hand — which is easily defended against by moving one's hand out of the way. Instead of blade-on-blade, all of the blocks and parries in a duel with short knives are done by grappling with your opponent's arms and body; if you can control his body, you control his knife, and you can stab or cut him while preventing him from doing the same to you.

The fight scenes bear this out; everyone does everything they can to survive, which often involves tackling your opponent and then stabbing them while they're confused. However, fights with Shardblades can be like a dance, with circling and testing and parrying. Justified because Shardblades are indestructible and impossibly lightweight. But even with Shardblades, dances like that are rare. Notably, only two of the ten Shardblade fighting styles teach parrying, and even they don't use it often.

Flynning / int_78146d21	comment	The three-way fight between Sparrow, Turner, and Norrington in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Most other sword fights in this trilogy are portrayed far more realistically, although duels between main characters tend to have decent amounts of Flynning. The duel between Jack Sparrow and Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in Will's blacksmith shop. Neither is trying to kill the other: Sparrow just wants to escape, having entered the shop so that he could hide from his pursuers, and Turner wants to apprehend Sparrow so that he can actually get some credit for something for once. The result? A lot of fancy swordplay and use of the environment (the fight eventually even goes up into the rafters) with no one really aiming to harm the other. It eventually ends when Sparrow pulls his gun on Turner, who claims that he's cheated by using a gun. Later in the film, when Barbossa and Jack fight, it devolves into great amounts of Flynning when it's revealed that Jack stole a piece of gold and cannot die, meaning that neither can physically kill the other. The fight between Davy Jones and Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. It involves lots of Jack's trademark "if I wasn't crazy, this probably wouldn't work" tactics to escape the immortal and unkillable Jones, including but not limited to swinging from the rigging, using the chest as an impromptu weapon, and Flynning on the crossbar holding up the mainsail, all of which occurs on a ship that is sailing on the side of a massive whirlpool.

Since the hero pretends to be an actor, a mini-game is presented where you have to respond with parry high to threaten high et cetera. Your performance is then rated by the audience. No matter how badly you do, you're given a chance to improve your score. Depending on your score, you're given gil, and also an item by Queen Brahne if you talk to her as Steiner later. If you can manage to impress all one hundred nobles and Queen Brahne, then she will grant a Moonstone, one of only four available in the game. This is extremely challenging, however, and not really worth it unless you're the type that has to do absolutely everything, as the Moonstone really isn't needed for much. Furthermore, in order to get a perfect score, you're pretty much required to retry, as it's only in latter tries that the more dazzling moves that are likely to truly impress the audience become available with frequency.

The original idea behind the lightsabers was that they were difficult to handle, which limited their choreography to mostly slashes and parries. There were technical limitations involved as well as skill limitations. Every duel in the Original Trilogy involves Darth Vader. In A New Hope, the Vader mask left actor David Prowse with such a restricted field of view that he had trouble even seeing the person he was dueling with, never mind trying to fight. The props themselves were also fragile, preventing the use of more aggressive and intense strikes. For The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the fighting was done by fencer and choreographer Bob Anderson, who was much better at it, and the props were sturdier, but he still had difficulty seeing.

Flynning / int_97a34dd1	comment	1995's Rob Roy with Liam Neeson climaxes with a duel containing some of the most realistic sword fighting in modern cinema. Though some Flynning occurs, most of that is a character flynning, as Robert Roy MacGregor's opponent, Cunningham, is a cruel man with a grudge against Rob and Cunningham quickly sees that he is a much more skilled duelist, so he draws the fight out to add extra pain and humiliation for Rob. All throughout the fight you really get a sense that these two men want to do each other serious bodily harm, and it's notable that while Cunningham is drawing the fight out to torment Rob, he is still managing the distance between the two men and staying out of range of Rob, who has the longer reach as well as the heavier sword. Cunningham clearly came into the fight with a gameplan to make Rob constantly move both his body and sword to wear down Rob's stamina (especially since he notices just before the fight that Rob is nursing a rib injury), and to score multiple light wounds so he can bleed Rob out and exhaust him, all of which are valid sword fighting techniques. The way the fight ends also contributes to the raw and realistic feeling of the fight; Rob grabs Cunningham's blade firmly enough for it to lodge into one of his hands, finally giving him and his sword a good, open shot at Cunningham, and then... whack.

Many of the fencing bouts in this series feature both actors downplaying real skill because actor Britt Lomond, who plays CapitÃ¡n Monastario, had qualified for the 1952 US Olympic fencing team. Lomond was also a highly decorated combat veteran from World War II. Additionally, Williams' skill allowed for using tipless swords, since he was able to manage not to injure his opponents. However, it also meant that he regularly had to get himself stitched after filming sessions, because they weren't as skilled as he was.

Dr. McCoy has no idea what to do with a sword; his opponent, the gladiator Flavius, has no desire to harm him. Flavius basically tells McCoy to hold his sword up and Flavius taps it a few times with his so that the audience will have something to look at until the calvary arrives.

Neither is trying to kill the other: Sparrow just wants to escape, having entered the shop so that he could hide from his pursuers, and Turner wants to apprehend Sparrow so that he can actually get some credit for something for once. The result? A lot of fancy swordplay and use of the environment (the fight eventually even goes up into the rafters) with no one really aiming to harm the other. It eventually ends when Sparrow pulls his gun on Turner, who claims that he's cheated by using a gun.

Elsabeth's fighting style is efficient and economical in movement, and her thought processes exhibit great disdain for swordsmen who prefer the flashier techniques of the tournament fighters. During a fight at the beginning of the book, Elsabeth makes rather quick work of an adversary precisely because his more elaborate style allows her to use quick and direct attacks to get through his defenses faster than he can counter her. She's equally disparaging of masters who teach such a style.

Flynning / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: There is an episode in Final Fantasy IX, where a fighting scene is played on stage. Since the hero pretends to be an actor, a mini-game is presented where you have to respond with parry high to threaten high et cetera. Your performance is then rated by the audience. No matter how badly you do, you're given a chance to improve your score. Depending on your score, you're given gil, and also an item by Queen Brahne if you talk to her as Steiner later. If you can manage to impress all one hundred nobles and Queen Brahne, then she will grant a Moonstone, one of only four available in the game. This is extremely challenging, however, and not really worth it unless you're the type that has to do absolutely everything, as the Moonstone really isn't needed for much. Furthermore, in order to get a perfect score, you're pretty much required to retry, as it's only in latter tries that the more dazzling moves that are likely to truly impress the audience become available with frequency. In Final Fantasy XII, Balthier's sword techniques are inspired by this, as befits the suave ladies' man. Of course, most of his weapon styles are based on the most stylish rather than practical options; he practices Gun Twirling, for example, which ironically enough makes him the worst gun user in the game, as his flashy animations slow his damage output compared to the rest of the party using the same weapon.

When Hector and Achilles fight, both of them avoid obvious killing strikes and holes in their opponent's guard on several occasions, and both make big, flashy, energy wasting movements while passing up more direct opportunities to defeat each other. That said there are some potential psychological justifications in the Achilles vs Hector duel at least; Hector is likely off his game and struggling with his state of mind because he's had something of a premonition that Achilles will kill him ever since he first saw Achilles fight, and Achilles is getting fancy and drawing the fight out in order to utterly humiliate Hector before killing him. Achilles even lampshades the fact that he's passing on chances to kill Hector when Hector stumbles over a stone and falls, leaving him vulnerable to attack, and Achilles refuses to strike.

The screenplay even says that the characters are Flynning; Wesley and Inigo both being masters with nothing personal driving their fight, they want to enjoy it, as it is so rare for them to encounter someone else on their level. Commentary states that Cary Elwes (Westley) and Mandy Patinkin (Inigo) were complete novices at swordfighting, but threw themselves into the fights with a lot of energy and panache. The first time that Patinkin and Christopher Guest (Count Rugen) practiced together, Patinkin actually stabbed Guest. At that point, Guest informed the fencing choreographer that instead of flynning he would actually and actively defend himself. Being a noble does comes in handy upon occasion.

Flynning / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: A fencing scene in "The Sea Devils": after the Master disarms the Doctor, and has him pinned in a corner ready to deliver the killing blow, the Doctor escapes by kicking the Master back. Played with in "The Androids of Tara". The Fourth Doctor ends up in a duel with "electro-swords". At first he seems incompetent with the blade, merely parrying blows. However, it quickly becomes clear that this is a ruse, as he unleashes more and more skill until finally besting his opponent with ease. "The King's Demons" features a very Flynnian swordfight between the Fifth Doctor and the Master. Every swordfight in the 7th Doctor serial "Battlefield". Unfortunately. (In part because they'd rehearsed with a different kind of sword to the ones they got on location.) "The Christmas Invasion" contains a particularly bad case of flynning between the Tenth Doctor and the leader of the Sycorax. Most notable is a moment when the Doctor charges the Sycorax leader with an overhead strike. In any realistic fight, the Doctor would've ended up with a sword through one of his hearts. "Robot of Sherwood" dials it up to 11 when The Doctor has a flynning-filled dual with Robin Hood. Robin with a sword, the Doctor with a spoon! In a possible nod to this trope, the Doctor mentions having learned from Cyrano de Bergerac, Richard the Lionheart, and Errol Flynn himself, who "had the most enormous... ego." A certain amount of Fridge Brilliance also sets in when one realizes that unlike most examples of this trope, the Doctor is a Technical Pacifist who rarely uses swords at all.

Anakin and Asajj Ventress spend their entire fight spastically swinging wide in each other's general direction. Even less justified than normal in that it's animated and no-one has to worry about injury. Although averted in some fights. Characters often use weapons other than their lightsabers and actually do look like they're trying to injure each other. However, they still usually inexplicably pause after each attack. The subsequent series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, have varying degrees of this, but an especially harsh aversion to the trope happens in the Rebels episode "Twin Suns" in Obi-Wan and Maul's finale duel, which is decided in three strikes. Supplementary material for the episode even notes that real sword fights tend to end quickly, and the speed of the battle was to show that Obi-Wan was a true Master Swordsman.

Flynning / int_d5b5746a	comment	Tex Willer: Normally averted as whenever blades are involved they use simple moves aimed at their opponents and punches and kicks may be involved (in fact Tex usually wins his knife fights by punching out his opponent, either because he feels he doesn't deserve to die or humiliate him). The one time it's played straight for a good reason: Tex, who was visiting Cuba, was forced in a sword duel in a church against a Spanish ussar, with Tex having no experience with sabres and the ussar playing with him... And then Tex lures his opponent between the benches, where there's no space to properly use a sabre and Tex can use his superior strength to disarm him.

Flynning / int_d5e733b0	comment	Pathfinder features a style of combat called "Performance Combat" where, along with fighting your opponent, you are also trying to win over the crowd. There is even a line of feats that make this easier. But much of what can earn one Victory Points or crowd attitude could be characterized as just doing cool stuff in a fight that is being observed.

Flynning / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time: It's pretty obvious that Captain Hook is Flynning on purpose in his fight with Emma in season two. He is, after all, a pirate with over three hundred years experience, and it is only the second time Emma has ever tried to use a sword in a fight. Judging by his taunts and absurdly embellished movements, he never had any intention of killing her — it's even arguable that he let her knock him out because he already knew he had another way to make it to Storybrooke and his intended vengeance.

Flynning / int_df2eb6f4	comment	In Highlander, this was done in large part because Christopher Lambert's eyesight is so bad that he just swung his sword around. His opponents were tasked with hitting his sword with theirs to make it look like a sword fight (instead of a mostly blind guy swinging his sword wildly). Possibly handwaved, as the immortal warriors cannot die from anything except being decapitated. Connor is run through multiple times during a drunken duel with no ill effect, so swordplay becomes about disarming the opponent or immobilizing them so a good swipe at the neck can get in.

Flynning / int_e7e37776	comment	In the Firefly episode "Shindig" Mal inadvertently gets himself stuck in a sword fight against Atherton Wing, an arrogant Master Swordsman noble. Inara tries to give him a quick crash course on how to avert flynning, telling him for example to avoid taking big swings from the shoulder because much quicker, subtler movements are better and it doesn't take a lot of power to seriously wound a man when using a sword. When the pressure is on, however, Mal can't help but revert to what feels right, including taking big cuts with a sword meant more for thrusting. Atherton, meanwhile, sadistically toys with Mal for awhile, but when he gets serious it only takes a few quick moves for him expertly break Mal's sword and have Mal at his mercy. Mal still wins by disarming Atherton and taking him down with Good Old Fisticuffs.

The student energetically swishes around his sword, only to have Don Diego casually disarm him with one move, with the implied lesson of not wasting energy with such useless flamboyance. Given that this is Zorro, the rest of the movie ignores this lesson for more Flynning, but points for trying.

In some scenes, such as Aragorn's battle with the Uruk-Hai chieftain at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring, there is a certain amount of Flynning, done subtly enough so that things look dangerous. In most of the mass-battle scenes, on the other hand, the action tends toward the swift and brutal. Viggo Mortensen (playing Aragorn) and the stuntmen who were roped into playing Orcs suffered quite a few on-set injuries.

Kuwabara, who while tough is not very experienced, is absolutely amazed and says they are evenly matched. Hiei calls him a fool and says Kurama could kill Urashima at any time, but has an annoying habit of feeling out an opponent due to curiosity of their fighting talents.

Flynning / int_f9aa2c38	comment	The 1952 movie Scaramouche climaxes with a fight scene in which Stewart Granger and Mel Ferrer (and/or their stunt doubles) methodically Flynn their way through a theater, starting the balcony boxes, working down to the lobby, through the main seats, backstage and ending on the stage itself. That particular scene was possibly the most masterfully done aversion of this trope ever. A careful observer may note that the combatants are actively trying to hit each other, dance through every one of the eight lines (except for #1), exercise such complicated procedures as feints and disengages, and generally fight very well given the uneven footing they find themselves on. Especially impressive is the fact that they manage to work Andre's game breaker multiple disengage sequence from the book into the duel, though you won't notice it unless you know what to look for.

Though there is some flynning, the choreography is especially well-done and the two fighters actually seem to be trying to hit each other instead of just clanging swords. They also put some importance on showing just how dangerous the lightsabers are. One of the best moments is when one character has another's lightsaber pinned against a wall and the 2nd character grabs the other guy's head and tries to push it into the sabers. See the fight here.
