Everyone loves a good sword fight. This movie montage by film lover and video editor Clara Darko combines sixty of her favorite duels in cinema into one ridiculously fun, eminently watchable supercut.
I've watched this four times today, and it's given me chills – and a big, goofy grin – every time. The song, Santa Esmeralda's cover of "Don't Let Me be Misunderstood," works almost as well here as it does played over the climactic duel between O-Ren Ishii and Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill Vol. 1.
