in a commentary Lucy said this fight was four days of shooting and the most intense fight she did in six seasons. Hands down one of the best in the series.
This remains the most epic, human-based battle I've seen from ANY TV show to this day. When the Xena theme kicks in after she's temporarily downed, it sends chills down my spine and all you can feel is the urge to shout "come on Xena!"
It's a feeling like no other because you perfectly empathize her desperation in that moment where it's kill or be killed. This was always one of my absolute favorite fight scenes from the show.
@@kvarnerinfoTV Apparently you haven't seen Xena. The entire show is supposed to be a mix of comedy, drama and camp. It's supposed to be impossible. It's also the DEFINITION of epic. If you had context you'd realize this is about a main character about to die. Whether this scene looks silly to someone who's uninvested in the show is completely irrelevant and you've missed the entire point.
Well, if they tried to do the same again with a different actress, of course they'd fail. But if they gave it a new dimension and did things differently, they would be able to create a different and amazing show that wouldn't render the original obsolete whatsoever, but instead both of them would be worth watching by their own. I, for one, would love it to be remade with greek and italian actors, filmed in their native languages and in Greece, with action scenes being more down-to-earth, and a more explicit exploration of Gabrielle's and Xena's relationship and their sexualities. Also with a different ending.
As great as Lucy was in that role different women have played Xena. I think they could reboot it but it's hard for me to not want the original cast member back.
Never knew there was an official Xena channel. Years ago I made my own Xena music video because I wanted to help promote the show on RUclips. My only advice is keep this show alive. I grew up watching it as a kid in the 90s. I have met Lucy and Renee too :)
🥺this do is very memorable. Xena Says “You are my source, Gabrielle. When I reach inside myself and do things I’m not capable of, it’s because of you. “ Then proceeds to do just that 🥰
All those people out there who have said this show doesn't have good production values should watch this epic sequence- one of the greatest fight scenes in TV history!
The show is low budget, but it doesnt even need a high budget because the writing makes up for it. A lot of shows today have a high budget but crappy writing.
This fight scene in "One against an army," the fight scenes in "Motherhood" (all of them!!) when Xena takes on the gods, and then Xena vs Varia in "Path of Vengeance" will always be in my top 5 favorite fighting episodes!!
This is my favorite Xena episode! This gives us insight to what Xena was like before she decided to give up her evil ways, just look at 4:26 - 4:46, that look she had when she’s telling the guy who poisoned Gabrielle how she’s going to kill him; that’s the glimpse of evil Xena and I love it! This is the best fight of the series
Gabrielle so shocked watching this if only she knew that a bunch of years later she'll be killing a lot of guys to protect Xena, when both of them after that ,ended up death.
This is one of my favourite fighting scenes. Lucy's crazed look!? Such an amazing actress. If they ever do a reboot, they really need to cast Rachel Taylor. She could pull it off, making it her own with a nod to Lucy.
I remember the tralier to this episode it started with the door being hit and it will fade in and out show zena face and voices in the background of her and gabby talking and the guy saying this was zena's biggest test/battle yet. This was one of my fav's and I couldn't wait to get to this part with all the teasers.
This sent me more than 25 yrs back when i was kid .. lovely memories brfore our small cute tv screen .. once family eas still gathering as abond .. lovely warm days never be forgotton whatever long we live
wow i can see why my mom was obsessed with this show, this was all she watched when raising me, i never payed attention, but the entire series is fcking awesome
I had watched that series over and over and over and I know each episode I even know the lyrics and I can’t get over it ,one of the best no it’s the best tv series at all the time wish they can re make it
-So kids, what did we learn today ?? -That a lone warrior has a chance of fighting back & actually winning against attackers that use the 100% sure to be effective strategy... "one at a time & up close and personal". But jokes aside, i LOVE that show xD !!
Forever my favorite ❤️ this is also the episode where I learned one important lesson: What I think of you is not important, you're the one who has to live with yourself.
I think I found the show I used to watch. What I remembered was the main character looked like my favorite singer Ruslana. And Xena does look like her. Mind you it wasn’t in English I don’t think
in a commentary Lucy said this fight was four days of shooting and the most intense fight she did in six seasons. Hands down one of the best in the series.
four days????
Wow 4 days 😲
I can't imagine trying to coordinate a fight like this
I imagine there's a lot of delete, edit, and spontaneous addition to them.
@@linusdonnell808 yeap, filming her, her stunt double, other stunt work, multiple takes for diff angles etc
This remains the most epic, human-based battle I've seen from ANY TV show to this day. When the Xena theme kicks in after she's temporarily downed, it sends chills down my spine and all you can feel is the urge to shout "come on Xena!"
MasterTemplar right at 3:55

Epic fight ahahahahaha - its utterly silly and has nothing to do with fighting, swordmanship or common sense.
@@kvarnerinfoTV ah, but the spirit is real!

They talk about a reboot...I can't imagine someone else as Xena

Same

@Gengonglike Arbukle Xena is a feminist bud
Fans want a reboot. They just want Lucy Lawless to pass the torch to a new character. Lucy herself said she'd do something like that.
Before Kratos, we had XENA!!!! 😍❤️😫🤪👍
OH SHAP!!!
Do not forget about Diana(Wonder Woman) and Kassandra(AC Odyssey)
Imagine if they met and teamed up
that was a typo, SNAP!
@@RestlessRebel perfect
If they had a kid 🤯
I forget all weird noise affects xena made when beating people the f*ck up lmao
Where can you chat about Xena?
@@Jeffa101 There's a discord sever!
@@MBM1117727 I'm late but was discord server is that? I'm a huge Xena fan sadly no one around me is and it's been killing me for almost a decade!
@@Mark-pl3bv its called Xena! You should be able to find it by searching on disboard :)
No one looks better when kicking ass than Xena!
Love that she kicked ass and still tended Gabby 🙋💗😀👍
Buffy the vampire slayer
sano chinmi She can humiliate me whenever she wants! 😂
I completely agree! Only Xena!
Yep. She looks badass, powerful, and fierce all at once.
Never knew there was an official Xena channel. Years ago I made my own Xena music video because I wanted to help promote the show on RUclips.
My only advice is keep this show alive. I grew up watching it as a kid in the 90s. I have met Lucy and Renee too :)
Aww man ure so lucky! Xena fans r the best!
5:50 "Go home, there are thousands more like me!" Well, not really.
Kalebent she said that to scare them lol
@@TremondEstelle It certainly was an effective bluff, right?
Pol Subanajouy certainly !
Thousands more like her ? She could have Hans and Gruber do her job actually ........
Persians: "We have an army"
Xena: "We have a Hercules"
🥺this do is very memorable.
Xena Says “You are my source, Gabrielle. When I reach inside myself and do things I’m not capable of, it’s because of you. “
Then proceeds to do just that 🥰
Who is Gabrielle?
@@Mscape7 You're joking right?
@@Bardim18 No I hadn't seen it before this clip.
@@Mscape7 Oh, I apologize for being rude then. Gabrielle is Xena's sidekick.
😢😭
I forgot how insane this fight was. Xena did some cold shit, here.

Rare to see a fight scene this long in a tv show.
Lucy said in one of the Coffee Talks that her first stunt woman quit after this episode.
The only time you'll see Xena sweaty after a fight.
The actress said it was very hot and crowded, that's why. Though finding an entire advance party justifies it story wise.
@@xxlCortez I know. The aftermath was filmed the day after the fight. But it's still the only time she's ever looked fresh from the fight.
😁😍.. My childhood series... I still love it to bits 😍
I don't think anybody will replace Xena as my childhood hero
One word to describe xena… BEAST!!!
No HOT!
Xena/Lawless are such badasses. Love them so much. First strong female character I ever saw, when I was only 6. I’m 29.
The goosebumps when THAT song starts playing!!!!!!
and that's what a strong female character looks like. no "girl power" bullshit, just pure badassery
This fight scene in "One against an army," the fight scenes in "Motherhood" (all of them!!) when Xena takes on the gods, and then Xena vs Varia in "Path of Vengeance" will always be in my top 5 favorite fighting episodes!!

Karen Walker thanks for the spoilers 🙄
Damn no spoiler alert?
xena dies yall
@@arnoldklein573 lol I mean this series ended years ago
This is madness!
Madness? THIS...IS...XENAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Besides her battles with Callisto this was her best fight
Those are some rather unorthodox techniques!
Also, Xena 101: Always sniff the arrow tip
Xena was and remains part of my past. I will always idolize her. The one and only warrior princess.
My fav show and still love watching her kick major arses - A true Warrior without guns.
...man, if that's Xena's "most epic battle ever" I don't know how I stomached watching this stuff as kid...
That battle cry of Xena it's so iconic
Wonder Woman will never be quarter as good as Xena.
At 3:55 you know it was gonna go down! Battle on Xena!!!!
Even if this has nothing to do with the reality of ancient Greece it still makes me proud as a greek because it was made with heart and passion
Xena should be incorporated in the Justice League, somehow....
" That's right crawl... CRAWL FOR YOUR STINKING LIFE! " 😁 so freaking cool
Yay! 😀
Xena was always one of my favorite shows.
Loved watching this show as a young kid years ago. Cool to see so many people are following. !!
Lucy Lawless AKA Flawless! As a kid in the 90's... nothing better than Sonic in the morning and Xena in the evening.
When I was a little girl, i saw Xena and I knew that was the type of woman i wanted to be when i grew up
Psychotic?
@@xxlCortez with muscle. yes.
This is one of my favourite fighting scenes. Lucy's crazed look!? Such an amazing actress. If they ever do a reboot, they really need to cast Rachel Taylor. She could pull it off, making it her own with a nod to Lucy.
And my name was supposed to be Xena Gabriella...... Well Xenavil is still unique😊😊 my mom got my name from this show which she really liked watching
You have a blessed name and your mom really loves you! 😁
@@aneta3098 awwww thank you
Bgen PiNeePoTatO is
Cool!!!
0:09
Those eyes though...
Someone should recreate this series with morern battle coreography and filmography. Would be epic
I don't think anyone could replace Lucy Lawless.
I Miss you Xena, I Miss you Lucy!
Nowadays you just walk to the store for medicine. Back then you had fight off an entire army by yourself and buy a pair of boots.
I looooooooove Xena. I will always love her
Xena's scream while attacking was typical. 😍
I love xena she was the best come took on a whole army by herself
Why does Xena later seasons look HD compared to the earlier seasons
I think they changed cameras after season 1
When the song starts in 3:55 EPIC!
Damn it, this episode made me watch the whole show
Me too!
I just remembered xena while thinking about my father. 'twas one of his fav
My fav show....in my childhood
We need the full remastered series on a streaming service, stat!
I remember the tralier to this episode it started with the door being hit and it will fade in and out show zena face and voices in the background of her and gabby talking and the guy saying this was zena's biggest test/battle yet. This was one of my fav's and I couldn't wait to get to this part with all the teasers.
First time I see an episode of Xena in this quality. What is this? Blue Ray?
I was wondering too! Nice quality!
I WANTED TO ASK THE SAME
No the 2016 DVD by Madman Studios
welcome to offical channel,bud
@@halkras My thoughts exactly this HAS to be from the source.
0:24 So she's one of them screaming-type of ladies?
I like that....
Signature war cry
@@Trisof88 , more like signature mating call....
Damn, Xena with prep time in an old farmhouse is even deadlier than Kevin in Home Alone, except with a LOT more dead bodies!
I wonder how a confrontation between Xena and Batman would go down. I feel like it would be epic.
Love this episode.
This sent me more than 25 yrs back when i was kid .. lovely memories brfore our small cute tv screen .. once family eas still gathering as abond .. lovely warm days never be forgotton whatever long we live
Nostalgia brought me here
The best sound ever!
Iiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa!
Imagine how quick the fights would be if she masters constantly creating openings to use her pressure points technique.
When I was a little kid in the 90s I recalled this show, and 25 years later I FINALLY found out the name of it
5:11 *jumps in Mario noises*
wow i can see why my mom was obsessed with this show, this was all she watched when raising me, i never payed attention, but the entire series is fcking awesome
I was a kid when I watched this and good lord I don't remember her being such a badass!
I had watched that series over and over and over and I know each episode I even know the lyrics and I can’t get over it ,one of the best no it’s the best tv series at all the time wish they can re make it
-So kids, what did we learn today ??
-That a lone warrior has a chance of fighting back & actually winning against attackers that use the 100% sure to be effective strategy...
"one at a time & up close and personal". But jokes aside, i LOVE that show xD !!
I love when she is furious
I can die happy after getting to see Lucy in all her greatness in Spartacus =p
50% of the Spartacus character was in Xena too.
Xena trained King Leonidas and his army of 300.
Underrated badass she is awesome
It's the arrow catch for me every time!!!
Her shouting is funny
It's her war cry and it's very iconic.
When the music kicks in, poo is going down. Love that moment.
God, I was obsessed with this show as a kid
If this is being uploaded because of some reboot...I want in
I think its cause of the convention in Aug. In L.A.
Hot damn! She looks so badass at 3:30 😍😍 and when she catches that arrow out of thin air!
Lol This was much more exciting when I was younger 😅
Lucy's got some Lawless eyes.
"Go home.. there are thousands more like me"
Xena forever!
Forever my favorite ❤️ this is also the episode where I learned one important lesson: What I think of you is not important, you're the one who has to live with yourself.
My God Her Gorgeous Gorgosity striking Beauty & those blue eyes omg.
I can't stop seeing it now... Mike Meyers should organise a Wayne and Garth remake version of this
Still my favorite warrior princess
3:55 OMG, I got goosebumps...
You go girl!!!! That's so bad ass!!!
I love you Xena!!!!!
The best TV show ever
Its not me closed in the room with you, it all you are closed in the room with me
Has sword on her back, proceeds to use chakram instead lol
Yes. Different weapons for different situations...
5:59 Oh, just look at that face! _Turn around, turn around, these people are nuts!!_
Ive always loved Xena! Way before GOT!! She is one bad beesh!!
I think I found the show I used to watch. What I remembered was the main character looked like my favorite singer Ruslana. And Xena does look like her. Mind you it wasn’t in English I don’t think
Tjis Mann Said No He Don't Need Your Help He Can Do It By Himself
I love you Xena!
Xenas ring sure was powerful
Xena & Wonder Woman shld do a match...that be awesome
Screw Anyone but Lucy Lawless being Xena
