Rob Roy Swordfight

- Arguably one of the best swordfights in movie history. With the best villain in movie history.
It's important to understand that Rob Roy is so pissed at Archy towards the end of this film because Archibald Cunningham raped his wife, shot his dog, and burned his home to the ground.
I don't think there is any role that Tim Roth cannot master. One of history's most underrated actors, ever.
Like john hurt tim roth gets done in in a lot off his films
Tim Roth is underrated actor in Imbecileville and surrounding areas only
I hated Archie so much, it’s hard for me to not look at Tim Roth and not want to see him split lengthwise. 😜
@@danender5555 wanted to jump through the television and tear tim Roth apart 😀
It's fun when the typical bad guy and good guy actors flip, too. Harrison Ford in What Lies Beneath is chilling. Tim Roth in Lie to Me is fantastic.
I really wish Dwayne Johnson went full villain in Black Adam, though. Sadly he was just himself. Shame, I really think he could be good outside his comfort zone.
Tim Roth and Liam Neeson: two brilliant actors and two of my all time favourites. Knew them in this great movie. Epic sword fight.
I say the same, also a great sound, and haughtiness comes before the event, mr. Archiebald
British Actors tend to be the best, this pair worked so well together.
@@georgebarnes8163 Neeson isn't British.
@@Camcolito Of course he is otherwise he could not have been awarded an OBE, born in the UK to British parents, how is he not British?
I love them both and saw the movie for that reason. Plus Jessica Lange and John Hurt. That much talent it just can't suck.
That's a whole lot of anger and vengeance released in that final blow.
I'm sure Tim Roth is a decent guy in real life, and all, but at this point of the film I was really pleased to see him nearly cut in half. Just sayin'.
+Welsh Guy I will at least give Driver this point, he portrayed Kylo as someone with anger and rage and actually gave a believable portrayal of lashing out when he would start slashing anything near him. While not perfect, it was recreshing after Christiansen's whiny scream-fits.
Kylo Ren and Anakin Skywalker were both whinier than a fucking hobbit.
Check him playing John Christie. This guy Roth is a talent.
I'm sure there's a great actor somewhere who said "if the audience doesn't hate you, you're doing something wrong".
That placement was perfect it would have atleast partially bisected the lung and striking the heart
I thoroughly enjoy this fight. There are no shaky camera movements, no quick cutaways- you are seeing everything. And the absence of backing music was absolutely the right choice.
This is in my top tier of close-combat fight scenes, alongside Chingachgook v. Mogwa ['Last of the Mohicans'], Achilles v. Hector ['Troy'], Cpt. Nathan Algren v. Ujio ['The Last Samurai'], Aragorn v. Lurtz ['Fellowship of the Ring'], and Bronn v. Ser Vardis Egan ['Game of Thrones'].
Well said. It is very rare these days to find such eloquent and well rehearsed combat choreography.
These are some damn fine examples.
All great from a cinemagraphic standpoint but also hilariously inaccurate in historical and martial standpoints.
not bad. you should add this ruclips.net/video/4tgxGMj4C3I/видео.html Tuo Tuo vs Qinglong in 14 Blades BUT
i strongly recommend watching the whole movie first
D.H. Withers I did love Aragorn vs Lurtz. Even though that was more of a brawl. But where's Inigo Montoya and Westley?
No music makes you focus on just how good this fight is.
From a martial arts perspective this is such a great scene. Throughout history, if you were rich and could afford the best training, you'd probably win against even the most seasoned battle hardened peasant. The flip side is that peasant has lived a much harder life and the rich guy was mostly pampered. So the peasant might be willing to endure much more just to survive. Aesop said it best. The fox runs fast because it's hungry but the rabbit runs faster for it's life.
I disagree to a certain degree. Cunningham was winning because he was a skilled duelist using the best dueling sword ever made, the rapier. Rob Roy was skilled in weapons like longswords or claymores, large weapons meant for battlefield use. Cunningham would have useless if he had to face cavalry, spearmen or had to fight in any dense melee but he could dominate anyone in a formal duel. Different skills for different purposes.
@@Elthenar yeah the speed of the rapier is why he dominated the fight.
@@vincenthammons-kd9du It's also the reach. Speed + reach against an unarmored foe is a strong combo. Like I said, the rapier is the best dueling sword ever made. It would eat the katana boys up.
This is absolutely not true in the context of a fight to the death. In a boxing match, in a sparring bout, if you're fencing to see who can draw first blood or to score touches with an epee then sure the better trained individual has a large advantage, but having the raw nerve to expose yourself to potentially fatal injury, which is a necessity in a fight with lethal weapons, and to kill without hesitation is a skill only a tiny fraction of humans possess unless they gain it through experience. There are countless historical, and modern sources which attest to the immense value of simply being accustomed to violent conflict and possessing a willingness to kill without hesitation. Even in a duel. In fact accounts of skilled duellists being beaten, or both parties ending up dead or seriously injured, simply because their otherwise unskilled opponent was recklessly brave and determined to kill them was a genuine phenomena, and the experts of the day absolutely acknowledged how dangerous such opponents could be. All the more so in a duel like this where even a thrust to the vitals would tie up your weapon, yet not instantly debilitate, and allow a sufficiently determined opponent to respond in kind. Though on the subject of psychology some people do just have an innate willingness to kill and Roth's character is clearly that sort, but the same is true of Rob, even if he only learned through experience, after all he kills a man without any hesitation in one of his first scenes. In fact the film actually foreshadows this result. Twice before Roth's character and he came into conflict, and Archie was either almost killed, or rendered helpless, with no swordplay involved.
Also for the record Roth's character isn't using a rapier. His sword is some kind of movie-invention. It has a smallsword style hilt but the blade is not that stiff and has an edge, like some kind of spadroon. Roy is actually way better armed for a duel like this.
@@thehermeticgamer3736 So far I have not seen anyone mention how greatly a smaller man is stunned by the shock of blocking a large man's claymore. I have done it a few times and the first few times you are quick and effective, but after about 10 or 15 very hard blows, which will sever your neck or something else if not blocked, the small man can no longer move his arm and sword very well. If the big man outweighs his opponent by 70 or even 80 pounds, is 6 inches taller and is using a much heavier weapon, those blows have a cumulative effect. I saw a yellow belt in Tai Kwan Doe defeat a professional prize fighter in such a manner. He simply sent in to the lighter man a flurry of blows, 4-6 per second to begin with at the prizefighter's neck which were very fast. After blocking almost 100 of those blows the arms of the fighter were numb and very heavy. Of course the big guy was also having trouble keeping his arms up too. When the judge asked who won the fight the big guy recommended the prizefighter, who surprised shook his head and said, "No, you take this fight" The big guy then offered to buy the prizefighter a pitcher of beer and Barbque dinner and the two staggered off to change clothes.
I just noticed this, but has anyone else realised that Cunningham prolonged the fight because he knew that big claymore would get tiring after a while? He pauses at certain times during the fight which means Rob eventually has to hold it with both hands, which means he's slowly getting more tired. Cunningham's blade is lighter, easier to move so it gives him an advantage.
And perhaps Roy drug the sword to not only take a breath but also fool his opponent into feeling so comfortable to savor the victory before truly winning. Either way it all played out rather naturally
Good insight
A master swordsman toying with a peasant-but gloating about it too long, giving his opponent a chance to find a last burst of energy which changes everything
Actually a rapier is heavier than a claymore. The issue is balance.The cut that was executed with the claymore is impossible even with the sharpest rapier. The balance of the cutting claymore should have been closer to the edge.
Also Cunningham seemed to notice that Roy uttered a slight moan of pain while taking off his jacket, which he surely would take advantage of.
Many movies today forget how to use silence. This climactic fight scene has no soundtrack whatsoever until the absolute perfect moment, designed for maximal emotional impact.
And now they don’t allow a second of silence. Why do we need dramaturgy? Let's insert another Deadpool joke here
Those who have never watched this movie YOU MUST include this masterpiece in your film collection.
You can see Rob knows he is out classed and just waits for each attack as a way to survive.But being bigger and heavier and slower , exhaustion finally takes over.
Archies arrogance knowing he can kill him at will leads him to play with him like a cat with a mouse.But it was his down fall.
Amazing acting by both.
The fact that Tim Roth didn't even blink when his falling sword almost pokes him in the face is truly great acting.
yeah that's the legend in the making there. Everybody knows you can't hate on Roth for A) this villain, and B) that dedication. He gets a pass on everything just for this movie.
I noticed that too, right away! Tim Roth never broke Character, even with a close call like that!
This entire film had incomparable dialogue, acting and twists. Beautifully acted and done by all principals. Most satisfying.
Indeed , the dialogue makes this film . Almost as good as Kidnapped .
@@bobgibb2781 I'll have to see that one!
@@bobgibb2781 Which one? I found at least three versions of it.
You know shit got serious when Cunningham takes off his wig!
no kidding
Cuntingham, the bugger of boys!
I think would of been funny if he was still wearing it and in the end (he got his wig split) by a sword
.
One of my favorite swordfight scenes. Up there with Crouching Tiger/ Hidden Dragon. The footwork and agility of the smaller man puts him in control of the bigger, stronger man. Still, glad to see the good guy win out in the end.
If only Darth Maul had seen this and knew what happens when you procrastinate with the final strike.
What's funny is that Darth Maul is Scottish, too.
Brant David Bwahahahah, didn't know that! =P Thanks for the trivia. =)
+Brant David is he also toad from the x-men movies?
I wouldn't know, and I don't understand your question.
+Brant David dose Ray park (darth maul) also play toad from the x-men movie?
I then went to check because in a blooper he takes a lead pipe and spins it like darth maul & also he is.
When the bad guy took off that wig, he went from pansy to killer like THAT!
You obviously are just watching clips not the whole movie! He wasn’t a nice person in any scene he was in.
@@Beemer917 I think what he means is it was symbolic of the fact he wasn't playing around anymore. He was ruthless before but now the kidgloves have officially come off.
Loved this fight. He grabs the blade and hacks Roth in half... Perfect.
Moral: When you look like peewee herman dressed in drag and get into a sword fight, you're probably going to get your lungs cut out.
Roth in this fight fully epitomizes the "looks can be deceiving" quote...
Esta es sin duda la mejor escena que he visto sobre duelos con espadas, simplemente extraordinaria, totalmente realista y con una ambientación sin igual. Con excelentes actores
one trained in skill and form, the other trained to fight, fight and keep fighting...and is also pissed off.
Except Rob is obviously a shitty fighter. No footwork at all, he just walks around, like he's taking a stroll. He keeps his sword hand back all the time and allows his much smaller opponent to come within distance all the time, the whole idea about the basket-hilted broadsword is, that it allows you to have the sword in front of you at all times. Rob overswings and telegraphs his moves to an extreme degree. He never once tries to thrust. You could write all of this up to stage choreography, were it not for the fact, that Cunningham doesn't make these mistakes (except for not thrusting). Conclusion: The movie wants to show, that Rob is vastly inferior to Cunningham.
Finkeren i don't think you understand the story, Liam is a soldier trained to attack along with anger and rage, the other is convinced that it's just a game...until he grabbed the blade and realized he fucked up lol.
.
Doesn't matter who is better. It only matters who is alive at the end of the fight. Rob won.
Rob had character, compassion and real mental toughness; the other a useless son of wealthy people. He got his just deserves.
Liam Neeson has had more sword fights than any actor in history.
No, I believe Christopher Lee holds the Guinness record.
das ist das Wahrscheinlich beste Schauspiel von Rob Roy, Archie unterschätzt die Fähigkeiten der Highlander Schmerzen zu ertragen und lässt sich täuschen.
So ähnlich wie im 13 Krieger, und wie cool Rob Roy das Schwert fallen lässt und davon schlendert. Ich liebe diesen Film.
leider weiss man auch das die Realität oft anders aussah und die Schotten von den Engländer getötet und von Ihrem Land gejagt wurden.
3 absolutely epic villains in this film, not only Roth as Cunningham but Hurt as Montrose and Cox as Killearn "that greasy capon"
Loved this movie as teenager still love it today.
Probably one of the most satisfying deaths of a villain in movie history.
This is such a good film. So much better than the overblown inaccurate and insulting brave heart
I had to come here after watching rings of power ep 5 "swordfight" to cleanse the palate with an actual swordfight with good choreography. Thank you Rob Roy.
I always appreciated the lack of music during the fight.
All of Rob's agony is about to be unleashed in this pivotal duel.
And it commences with a simple clap.
7:02 "You haven't beaten me, you've sacrificed sure footing for a killing stroke"
One of the best movies ever made, the acting, the settings/scenery, the absolutely brilliant score by Carter Burwell, everything,s near perfect.
Moral: No matter how superior you are, never understimate your opponent.
Best fighting scene ever. And it works without music!
the venom in the Dukes voice when discussing Robs debt was perfectly added.
Liam Neeson is a goddamn giant!
Indeed, and if you add that Tim Roth only measures 170cm, the effect is astounding.
You mean 5'5.
Nope, I mean 170cm. Convert to your system if you want, but I use metric. Deal with it, you are not the centre of the world.
In fact, metric system is used around the world. Your shitty imperial system is only used in less than 10 countries, so 170 CM.
He would be if he wasn't anti weapons ownership. I'm a true descenant Of Clan MacGregor
Tim Roth is really a very good actor :)
He complements John Hurt rather nicely.
the swordsmanship was so badass!!! Especially on Tim Roth's part, the way he arrogantly dodges struts away with his back to his opponent.
Gloating at the end cost Archibald his life!

The Ugly - 'The Good The Bad The Ugly'
@Deleted By YouPoo Absolutely!
This came across as an incredibly realistic sword fight up until the point he grabbed the sword.
Why . Did mammy tell you to go to bed snowflake
It can be done actually if pressure is applied to the centre of the blade.Also historically swords made for thrusting were sharp but not razor sharp.It was also a surprise move so Rob gained few seconds before his opponent reacts.The only thing I would have changed at this scene would be the final blow.Rob was tired and wounded.In my opinion it would be easier for him to lift his sword just high enough and aim for the belly.
that was his plan all along
On the martial/physical level, this scene reminds me of the duel between Oberyn Martel and Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane in "Game of Thrones". In both fight scenes, the smaller and more agile fighter manages to inflict serious injuries on his bigger/stronger opponent. However, in both fight scenes, the smaller/agile fighter chooses to run his mouth instead of finishing off his injured opponent immediately. In both scenes, it is at this moment that the bigger/stronger fighter, despite his injuries, catches the small/agile fighter off guard and kills him (thus turning the tables against the small/agile fighter in an instant).
There's a reason for the similarity. The director of Game of Thrones got the idea for the Mountain vs. the Red Viper duel from this scene in Rob Roy. The difference is the bigger fighter and smaller fighter / villain and hero roles were reversed.
Sierra MatchKing I also see fairly large similarities with that fight to the fight in princess bride inigo v six finger man
There is as much fencing between Argyll and Montrose before the fight as there is between Rob and Archibald during the fight. Roger Ebert said it best in his review: the villains in "Rob Roy" aren't just bad guys, they work at it.
...And if he loses?
My factor will call upon your Grace's factor!
Nicely scripted...
This is great swordplay. These guys are athletic!
Dude was effortlessly dodging every attack up to this point, but then just stands there and takes it
That little move by John Hurt as he rushes to sit at exactly the same time as the other Duke.....brilliant little touch. These rich and powerful men are also so petty and can act like children. John Hurt does not want to be standing while the other Duke is sitting because it would make him look less noble.
He is less noble. He's a Marquis and Argyll is a Duke. Argyll doesn't even let him call him by his name familiarly in an earlier scene and insists that Montrose use his title when addressing him.
@@evelynwaugh4053 I learned something. Thank you!
@@ingleringlet-snipps3rd449 In real life both men were Dukes but in this film the Marquis' inferiority complex is an important part of the movie.
@@algernonsidney8746 That is very interesting!
My factor will call upon your factor. One of the best swordfights in movies, IMHO.
I used a currency converter for perspective:
Rob Roy’s £1,000 loan from Montrose in 1713 equals about $233,000 US in 2020 dollars.
@Anti-Federalist 1776 Donald Trump is going to try to correct that. Then they will really be trying to kill him. Lincoln printed debt-free money. Then JFKSr. had started to print debt-free money. It didn't help when Kennedy asked the CIA "Just who the hell are the g-d greys? " He was killed just a few weeks later.
that's fiat inflation for you. but I'll bet a Gold coin of the same purity back in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Industrial Revolution, 80's and today will have roughly the same purchasing power though...
Restore The Earth Donald Trump is going to rot in a prison cell for breaking about a million laws.

I have Olympic sabre training and this was BEAUTIFUL.
The best sword fight scene
no, best was from Duelists.
@@Talsedoom Deluge.
@@mykhailonikolaichuk6392 I second Deluge. This is my favorite sword fight on an emotional level (and technically speaking, Roth did a fantastic job here), but Deluge is absolutely spectacular.
One choreographer and some fake blood is far cheaper than hundreds of cgi animators and far more effective.
The expression "no quarter" means "no mercy." So in other words, they are both agreeing to a fight to the death.
This is also one of my favorite movie sword fights ever. But, wouldn't a rapier be a better sword to use in a duel than a basket hilt broadsword?
I recommend - Polish sabre and good music - ruclips.net/video/BRgKzmOK0T4/видео.html
I always figured that Rob Roy was using the broadsword as it was the weapon he was most comfortable with. Probably a poor match to the speed of the other guy but made good use of his own strength.
"No quarter means no mercy" yeah no shit Sherlock.
@@aarons6935 You sound like a sensitive soul.
@@GhostEye31 I wonder whether he was playing up his earlier wounds and later exhaustion (showing visible pain while removing his jacket, which Cunningham notices, then dragging his sword tip along the ground like he is too tired to lift it) because he wanted Cunningham to be complacent.
My grandfather had this novel- I tried to read it but it was too hard to understand! But I knew the story. This should have won the Oscar.
By all accounts Mr. Roth is a wonderful dedicated actor and a kind gentleman. I look forward to meeting him.
The details of this fight are nice. Tim starts with some simple attacks just to see how Liam reacts. The attacks become stronger, but not too strong, Tim uses some of his tricks. Not long, and Liam starts breathing. Tim is absolutely relaxed and saves his power. Later on, Liam is holding his sword with 2 hands, a sign of losing power. So, the show is over, Tim finishes the job, and I think, he even didnt started. But Liam takes is chance and cic kebaps Tim into a splitted personality. Love the details more than the fight.
" With the best villain in movie history." These actor is the best.
From Gullet to Brisket, that was One Clean Cleavering, by Rob Roy. Great Sword Fight, & excellent Choreography in all the Combat, especially in the personal Duel's.
Thank You. Wyoming, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🗡️🗡️👀👀🤔🤔🙏🙏

Some one needs to make their swords int lightsabers.
When you are weak, pretend to be strong. When you are strong, pretend to be weak. Rob Roy drew him in. The Englishman gave him the nod to finish him, but Rob Roy held onto his opponent's blade. After suffering 4 cuts, it only took one cut to finish his opponent. Excellent!
Roy played to the villain's ego. Cunningham was the better swordsman, no question about it, but he knew he was better and he was a showoff and a sadist. Killing his opponent wasn't enough. He had to play. He had to inflict pain and look Roy in the eye at the last so he knew he'd been beat. Roy suspected and hoped all along it would work out that way.
@@Michael-dy2lb The race is won at the end and not in the middle. Rob Roy seized the moment and finished off his opponent.
@@paulleckner8235 I think Roy was anticipating that moment the whole contest.
@@Michael-dy2lb I believe you are correct! He played on his enemy's ego to defeat his enemy.
it may be siily to take note of this, but this fight was serious enough that Archibald thought about it a moment and then took off his wig. He didn't do that with Guthrie. But here, whether he meant to draw out the fight with Roy or not, he wanted to be that unimpeded. A 'just in case' tiny little bit of awareness that shows he knew Roy was not your average Scot. He gave him that much at least.
Best duel ever
indeed. I think the Marquis just lost 1200 pounds. I have a question. what is the significance of the pose with the hand always seen in montrose?
Totally. Infinitely better than Braveheart which came out around the same time
I love how the some of the manners and characteristics of the "nobility" in the British class society are laid bare, Nice manners nice clothes so civilized. Yet, just barely disguised savages, shaved creatures of the forest. Ready to lie, cheat, steal, kill, for the best branch in the tree of the troop's hierarchy. It reminds me, no matter your birthright we are all cut from the same flawed fabric, that being humanity. And thus are capable of all it's glory and all it's sins.
oh beautifully put
Superb swordsmanship.
no importa cuantas veces lo mire, hermoso.
Count Dankula recently did a biography on Rob Roy, he was an interesting guy.
Their non too fond. The most underrated line. It said everything.
All those fancy moves but your grace got BAMBOOZLED!!!! Hahahaha!
All the fingers saved... Lucky bastard! Imagine if, instead of steel, that blade was a lightsaber.
kinda stresses the importance of good cardio.
The way John Hurt says 'Oh...' is my favorite bit.
Liam Neesum is spectacular! Tim Roth also . Great villain
Looks like Archie had to split... LAMO
The look on Archie's face: The realization that you've just been cloven in half by a Scottish Broadsword.
Looks like archie had to open up...haha
Tim Roth may have the killer moves, but John Hurt has all the killer lines.
I was so disappointed when the cow Rob Roy actually won the fight! His adversary was so damn entertaining!
Never seen this until now. Good fight!
By far my favorite sword fighting scene.
Nice no dumb music in the background.
Great fight and I love the film, although historically inaccurate like most Hollywood movies.
Is this scene historically inaccurate?
It never happened. As a result of defaulting on his loan, Rob Roy was branded an outlaw. His wife and family were evicted from their house at Inversnaid, which was then burned down. After his principal creditor, the Duke of Montrose, seized his lands, he waged a private blood feud against the Duke until 1722, when he was forced to surrender. Later imprisoned, he was finally pardoned in 1727. The plot of this movie was drawn mainly from the novel by Sir Walter Scott.
7:28 "You've got a little something on your face. Oh wait; that's your lung."
Archie is like a fast bumble bee buzzing in and out. He played with hi food and that's what got him killed. He could have won in about 3 minutes.
Rob Roy was big and very quick, and frustrated the Fop until he got tired. That Claymore is going on 9 lbs, and the spadroon maybe 3 or 3.5. The damage by the Claymore is going to be substantial. Wonderful fight to watch.
Acting savvy like only Some of the real-real old classics. None too common today. The old gentleman and his scoundrel opponent (Hurt) were perfect, timeless.
I love how the antagonist has the facade of a fop but underneath, just as when he removes his wig we see what a dangerous skilled swordsman despite also being a theif and murderer.
This fight did perfectly what few other fight scenes have - it showed how quickly you get tired in a real fight. None of this fighting multiple opponents for several minutes without even breathing heavily that's so popular today... it's realistic!
Well, it's true in this case... none of them were military men or trained athletes. Romans, on the other hand, often held advantage over their foes precisely because they trained endurance and they knew how to pace their fighting. Legions were known to be able to fight all day long, whilst gauls, for example, got tired after more or less three hours. They achieved this prowess by marching 30 km a day, carying armor, weapons and gear.
The Romans managed to win most engagements trough discipline and tactic. If they fought an enemy at close combat they would form lines with gabs between them where the men on the front formed a shield wall. At a certain point the soldier in the front would retreat to the back and the soldier behind him took over the position. Once the enemy was tired from attacking the shield wall the Romans would attack and use the opportunity to move forward as a line. You can see this here in the show Rome, as a good example of how they often fought : ruclips.net/video/J7MYlRzLqD0/видео.html
This is one of the reasons why discipline and commands have been so important in the Roman military and breaking up formations, even for a single man, was a big deal.
@@CrniWuk Yes, true, but still ver inaccurate 😁Vanguard and rear wouldn't change every 30 seconds. That's Hollywood nonsense. Battles were long as hell and even though tactics played and important role, the main ingredient of the dish was still endurance.
@@abelnicolaebaritone Of course it's inaccurate. But so far I haven't seen a show that at least tried to show what a proper Roman fighting and formation was. Most of them just display two groups hacking and wacking at each other.
What I am trying to say is that the Roman soldier was probably not stronger or had more endurance compared to other fighters. But the Roman army as a whole definetly had more endurance. In fact the Romans often won even against forces which have been, on an individual basis, probably even stronger. But due to their extreme level of discipline and tactical advantage they even managed to beat elite formations like the Hoplites and their phalanx, which have been probably the pinacle of fighting soldiers in that time. I don't want to downlplay the individual strength of the Roman soldier. They did live harsh lives in the military after all. But so did many armies back then.

Man, Tim Roth did an amazing job as a villain. Even when he’s just standing there and smirking you have this disdain for his character.
He did. Up there in my top twenty villains, for sure. Eminently detestable.

Yeeeesssss
Probably the most underrated villain of all time. When I watched this for the first time I really thought I was going to leave the movie traumatized by a villain who stole a man's loan and blamed the man for it so that he was almost imprisoned unfairly, raped the man's wife, captured the man and almost executed him by hanging, and then killed the man in the worst of all ways...he simply outclassed him in a fair fight. I breathed a sigh of relief when Liam Neeson finally got his revenge because I really thought he was finished. Excellent villainy by Tim Roth.
So glad I don't have to watch this now you have explained it to me. Maybe start a you tube channel where you let everyone know what happens in movies. Hey why not start with the 6th Sense, where at the end we find that the character Bruce Willis played was actually shot and killed at the start and the child was trying to help him and at the end they both realize he was in fact a ghost.
@@atheoshk You write as if you read the comments before watching the video. Well, if you did that, then know that usual order of things is to look at the video first, watch related videos to get a pretty good idea about a movie that catches your interest, and then read the comments. Just in case you're new to the comment section, and/or many videos on RUclips, there are many spoilers. If that bothers you, then it's best not to look at RUclips. If you knew all of this, and you wrote your comment anyway, then you were trying to use my comment in an attempt at being humorous or something; and unfortunately, I think you failed.
Think of Trump and the so called Republicans,,,child molesters and deviants all of them
Unfortunately, in the real world it often doesn't turn out so well.
@@atheoshk God damn youre so pathetic lmao youre upset that someone commented and "spoiled" a movie thats been out forever. Then you go and spoil the 6th sense in the same exact way youre bitching about. What a miserable slug you are🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What made Roth the perfect villain is that he played up to class resentment.
Did the fop thing to perfection.
Also the director's choice not to enhance the fight scene with background music. Just the genuine sound of the blades swishing in the air the boots on the cold stone floor, the rasping breaths, the clang of steel and the and Archie's gurgling death rattle. Plop, Finito! Home for din din. See ya.

They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar.
So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word.”

...Or as Tuco Pacifico Jan Maria Rameriez states in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", "when you gotta shoot, shoot, dont talk".
a good man won't kill you at all tho.

Probably the best sword fight in movie history. i remember this movie very well.
If you want to see some of the best sword fights in history you have to go back much further in time to like the 1930s and 40s. Watch the fight scene in the 1938 movie The Adventures of Robin Hood between Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone. Errol Flynn played in a number of different swashbuckler films as well which are all worth watching. Basil Rathbone also played what I would argue is the best Sherlock Holmes of all time in the 40s.

John Hurt was great in this film, & pretty much every other film I've seen him in.
This was our first movie date for me and my wife. I didn't know it had a rape scene. Awkward.
and yet you said...Wife. so I guess it worked out
A good part of the movie is about trust and solidarity in the couple. So a good start.
You mean your date or the movie? xD
Wife? Hey, congrats!
Lol.
I once worked with the technician who made the prosthetic worn by Tim Roth at the end of this fight and he told me of how Tim Roth came round to his flat for the final fitting of the jacket with the horrific slash across his chest complete with blood and guts. while wearing the prosthetic there was a caller at the door which Tim Roth insisted on answering still wearing it giving the unexpected visitor quite a shock when the door was answered by a film star apparently suffering from what appeared to be a fatal sword wound. He also created the rotting highland cow which Rob Roy disembowls and hides inside after he escapes the dastardly brits attempting to hang him from a bridge.
After that Liam Neeson went punching some wolves.
Damn right, and 17 years later too...still a badass.
Now the government is after him...
Don't forget! In another galaxy, he is also training Darth Vader.
And after defeating the government, Liam got bored so he decided to train Batman.
