Choreographed by Bob Anderson (1922 - 2012). This guy gave us some of the greatest sword fights from some the most popular movies. He started on “The Master of Ballentrae” in 1952. He not only gave us THIS sword fight, but the sword fights from “Lord of the Rings”, “Zorro”, “Highlander”, the first “Pirates of the Caribbean” and many others. He was also the man inside the Darth Vader suit for the fights between Vader and Luke. Every time I see a video of one of the sword fights he choreographed, I feel like I need to give him the recognition he deserves. Rant over.
Whoa, I've always adored this scene (to this day, it remains my favourite duel scene ever) but I had no idea who choreographed it. Thank you very much for sharing!
I love how Graves is venting all of his anger and frustration during their fight. Of course he knows who Bond is, and he probably wanted to kill him. You can see how quickly he becomes more ferocious and pissed off.
That's why I love this scene. Usually, Bond and the villain are figuring each other out, but Graves already knows who Bond is, but Bond doesn't... After Graves tried and fails to kill Bond, Frost had to step in to get control... People malign this scene but I really like it
I love how the whole fight is so dramatic and outlandish: Bond and Graves bashing each other about, trashing the place apart, even chasing each other out of the fencing room and at the end Graves is just like "Yeah, all good bro, just a bit of fun."
Yea I think it’s funny how angry graves is and then at the end. no problem bro. If only we could get over our petty differences and shrug them off like that to.
Best hand-to-hand combat scene in any Bond movie. The acting alone make you believe that this is a dead-serious grudge match that can only end one way. Cudos to the fight choreographers and especially the sound department!
It's funny, I bet this scene is the reason he landed the role of captain flint in black sails, Toby Stephens has mastered how to look both heroic and terrifying while sword fighting.
I agree. I couldn't help but notice how his temper seemed to get worse with every second from the moment he saw the diamond that Bond showed him. I have to say that this scene was pretty exhilarating...
Who would be the top? Personally, I'd have liked to have seen Brosnan taking the shaft so we can hear him grimace in pain like he always was doing in his 4 films.
He made the worst injury noises out of all the Bonds. I'm actually quite partial to Roger Moore's Oh-OHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhwwwwwwwww! noises from his last 2 Bonds.
Gotta say, along with the close-quarters fight with Trevelian in Golden Eye, this the other best fight scene in Brosnan’s tenure as Bond. And it edges out the Golden Eye fight because you see more of Brosnan in the fight itself. Great editing also (I’ve probably said that before but hey it’s that good)
Dante Eudora There is a video game called 007 Legends, with one film for each Bond actor in the story, including Die Another Day as Brosnan’s film. Toby Stephens even reprised his role as Graves for the game, though it starts at the ice palace and skips the fencing.
Not the best Bond movie by a long shot, but Graves/Moon is a pretty realistic psychopath. Thrill-seeking, poor behavioral controls, superficial charm, hair-trigger temper etc, it's all there.
In the novel, Moonraker ... A rich German Nazi is hideously disfigured during the war - he has plastic surgery and reinvents himself as the darling of England ... persuading the government to enact the "Moonraker" program .. which is a demonstration of Britain's nuclear deterent. But the missile's gyroscopes are programmed to hit London, not the North Sea as planned. It's a shame that this movie wasn't more like the Daniel Craig movies running with this storyline. The CGI parasurfing thing was so silly and stupid, even by Roger Moore skiing standards. However - I love this sword fight! And Miranda Frost (I wanted her to win against Jinx!) - so pleased that Rosamund went on to do some great roles (like Gone Girl). So - this movie wasn't a total loss ... and I also came to see what the title song was actually doing. It's tuneless and clubby - but that's perfect for a mantra of holding on to your sanity while you're being tortured every day. So, the song "Die Another Day" has actually improved with age - within the context of the tortured Bond set-up.
@@AAARREUUUGHHHH Thanks but I enjoy my bond movies with weaponized satellites and bloody sword fights, you know man stuff. Not bond movies that are 90% pointless talking where the main villain( Silva) exhibits homoerotic tendencies and tries to come on to the main protagonist who is straight Male. Skyfall was shit.
I think that Graves is my favorite Bond villain, because he doesn’t just monologue his plan, he mocks and insults Bond as a person, unlike most other Bond villains.
@@BilltheButcher1855 Yes, of course. But Viggo Mortensen needed a very few minutes to fiming the battle against the Nazgul. So, Viggo Mortensen is the best student who has got Anderson.
I don't care if it's realistic or not, this is one of the great sword fighting scenes in film history. Foils to rapiers to BROADSWORDS. WOWWW. :-) It started looking like they had stopped acting and were going at it for real.
Pierce Brosnan is the incarnation of Bond to me. Despite the mainstream opinion I think all four of his Bond movies are great. Die Another Day may be over the top but it is definitely the most witty of all Bond movies and thematises the corruption of the west.
he defintely helped bridge the gap for the 99-00s. His films were high budget and "over the top" as most films were in that time period. Daniel Craig's films are just plainly cinematiic as ever. Skyfall is great but Spectre is just too much computer effects.
Think of all the bloodshed/Iraq war etc that would have been avoided if Bush/the West had accepted the Iraqi side's offer for the dispute to be settled through a duel between the presidents to save the America and Iraqi people from war stress. edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/10/03/iraq.bush.duel/
You know, this scene really does a good job of revealing the absurdity of the "civilized" nature of fencing. Swords are weapons of war. Sword-fighting is a blood sport. You can wrap it up in many layers of pretense but that won't change its fundamental nature.
rich b. you should be understanding how unrealistic movies are compared to actual life. in my 41 yrs I've seen combat, survived nearly drowning and was in a train wreck at 9yrs old. I'm hoping that's all of my near dying experiences. Bond goes through more than that in the first few minutes of film.
Honestly this is one of my favourite sword fights in a movie of all time, the starting chivalry, the wager, the attacks seem realistic, the people confused watching, the build up of weaponry the music score, the final push from Bond at the end on the walkway and the sick finishing blow with the tension at the end stopped by Miranda and the class of both men to agree to lose/accept the handshake. Very well done scene that has me coming back.
The film is a bit of a train-wreck overall, but scenes like this are what kept me coming back to it constantly as a kid, it’s exceptionally choreographed, edited and scored! Just brilliant!
Considering Toby Stephens body..of work that is...since then ...seems like he would have been an amazing Bond himself. Take his Raven Rochester locks and sardonic tongue with the devil may care Flint attitude...Damnnnn.
My favorite James Bond scene. It starts with modern fencing (traditional handled foils?)moving to Renaissance era cut and thrust broadswords or sabers, ending with medieval hand-and-a-half swords. Testosterone tsunami. Beautifully choreographed. The same “wang clang” sounds as in The Duelist. Just magnificent.
Dan Fox a sword’s sharpness is not determined by the style itself. Sharpness varies from material to material and even between swords of the same style. Japanese steel doesn’t hold the sharpest edge even within the parameters of steel swords.
What I love about the character of Gustav Graves is that he presents himself as a mirror of James Bond: that is to say, a character full of himself, egocentric and totally into doing it - personal value.
"Have we met before?" He clearly knew who Bond was in this scene. In the 2nd half of this sword fight you could tell Graves had a large amount of hatred towards him.
Great scene. Fun fact: Toby Stephens (Graves) is the son of English actress Dame Maggie Smith who starred in all the Harry Potter films & Downton Abbey.
2:23 I just noticed he said "excuse-moi" (second person singular imperative) instead of the more polite "excusez-moi" (plural) which is appropriate to someone you just met, what a power move!
The last bond era movie gadgets machismo and hot women and an over the top villain awesome bond with all the sexual inuwendoes great movie last of an era
I feel the same way, I LIKE the gadgets, over the top villains, insane evil lairs and quips. To me, THATS Bond. Craig's films feel more like generic post-Borne action movies and less like a 007 film.
@@perunplague9794 The novels did not delve into gadgets and focused on espionage of the Cold War. Bond himself is a cold blooded killer and he knows that in his job, he could be dead at any moment.
Yah and they aint coming back ever again, especially this new new one its as gay and predictable as just about anything these days, its like star wars Last jedi Bond level shit can already tell, Bond is now a has been knowone even recognizes him anymore, fortunately theres a strong" whamen of color" to show him the ropes...he already knows and mastered...and maybe put his hhwhite ass in its rightful place lol....straight up making James Bond a simp/Gamma boy ultra Woke style....man it looks like pure dog shit, frankly I haven't watched any of the Daniel Craig ones its Brosnan and thats it for me, but Im sure a couple are at least okay enough but this new one, yah enjoy the coming trainwreck. James Bond and the spy who # Times upp'ed me" haha....
hermanessences Yeah running away from Alec Trevelyen Shooting at him on the Cradle. Brilliant Scene! Were these actually Pierce Brosnan’s Stunts or a Stunt Double?
@@SB992REBORN And your point is? I never said It wasn’t Pierce. I was replying to the other guy saying Pierce doing the same stunt as he did in GoldenEye again here In Die Another Day and me saying which scene that was he did In GoldenEye.
Spinning in combat is a death sentence 9 out of 10 times. You open your back to your opponent and swinging a weapon so fast that you can hardly control it is stupid. Plus you can probably get more speed from using lever action between your two hands compared to just spinning your entire body around.

My favourite Bob Anderson sword fight - The Man in Black vs Inigo Montoya, in The Princess Bride. Best movie sword fight so far.
I learned something new today about someone amazing and unforgettable. Thanks!
Thank you for the info. I do appreciate it. Cheers!
I love how Graves is venting all of his anger and frustration during their fight. Of course he knows who Bond is, and he probably wanted to kill him. You can see how quickly he becomes more ferocious and pissed off.
...and that is why he loses...
He would always lose at fencing because he never realizes that anger is a dangerous toy to play with.
Then at the end he smiles and says settle up down stairs or something like that. Good moment in this video.
That's why I love this scene. Usually, Bond and the villain are figuring each other out, but Graves already knows who Bond is, but Bond doesn't... After Graves tried and fails to kill Bond, Frost had to step in to get control... People malign this scene but I really like it
Once graves uped the weapons, the fun really began
“First blood drawn to the torso wins!”
“Ok but why did you just try to chop my head off then?”
"First blood drawn from the torso wins"
Okay, but why did you have to make me like you? I get you're handsome,but HOLY HORSES !! 😍😍😍😍😍😘
LorieAnn wth
Or yeet a sword at upper torso/head height.
Easy to score a blow on the torso if the opponent has no head
Blood from a decapitation did originate from the torso yes?
3:54: "oh dear.... do you want to continue?" lol only Brosnan can be sarcastic and badass at the same time xD
"Of course I want to bloody continue" Aaha ha ha .......
Bond was studying his fighting style/technique. So cutting him may have been on purpose. 😄
I love how the whole fight is so dramatic and outlandish: Bond and Graves bashing each other about, trashing the place apart, even chasing each other out of the fencing room and at the end Graves is just like "Yeah, all good bro, just a bit of fun."

Best hand-to-hand combat scene in any Bond movie. The acting alone make you believe that this is a dead-serious grudge match that can only end one way. Cudos to the fight choreographers and especially the sound department!
This is the best part of this movie. It went down when they get to the ice castle.
It's funny, I bet this scene is the reason he landed the role of captain flint in black sails, Toby Stephens has mastered how to look both heroic and terrifying while sword fighting.
I just finished Black Sails and came here after finding out he was a Bond Villain. I totally agree
Kinda off topic but he's Dame Maggie "Professor McGonallal" Smith's son.
Also gave sharpe a good fight in Sharpes challenge as Dodd
Also, he plays a VERY good James Bond in the BBC Radio series that's been going on for a few years now.
No such scene in Lost In Space, disappointingly.
2:15 --- "No thanks. I don't like cockfights."
And she said that with a straight face, Ladies and Gentlemen.
She's a disgusting degenerate that can't act.

I love how aggressive Graves was in this scene, he must've had a lot of rage bottled up towards Bond after what happened to him in North Korea.
I agree. I couldn't help but notice how his temper seemed to get worse with every second from the moment he saw the diamond that Bond showed him. I have to say that this scene was pretty exhilarating...
Darkstar263 I mean, we saw how he treated his anger management therapist at the beginning of the film, and Bond certainly pissed him off a lot more.
“Oh dear. Do you want to continue?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Damn Toby Stephens is one of the best actor in world ! His acting is so on point the rage feels real !
His mother was professor mcgonall in the Harry Potter movies
These Bond films were so much more fun to watch than today's bond films.
Bond: "Can I expect the pleasure of you in Iceland?"
Miranda: "I'm afraid you'll never have that pleasure Mr Bond."
Bond: :O
'Oh dear! Do you want to continue? 'Course I wanna bloody continue!!' 'But since we're upping the wager, let's up the weapons shall we!'
They should have fucked after he said that.

Yah and they aint coming back ever again, especially this new new one its as gay and predictable as just about anything these days, its like star wars Last jedi Bond level shit can already tell, Bond is now a has been knowone even recognizes him anymore, fortunately theres a strong" whamen of color" to show him the ropes...he already knows and mastered...and maybe put his hhwhite ass in its rightful place lol....straight up making James Bond a simp/Gamma boy ultra Woke style....man it looks like pure dog shit, frankly I haven't watched any of the Daniel Craig ones its Brosnan and thats it for me, but Im sure a couple are at least okay enough but this new one, yah enjoy the coming trainwreck. James Bond and the spy who # Times upp'ed me" haha....
@@danielhicks4826 Get help, man: so much pathetic bitterness.
The reason he shakes his hand at the end is because a fencer MUST greet his/her opponent before and after the bout or face disqualification.
6:19 - same stunt as in the end of Goldeneye!
hermanessences Yeah running away from Alec Trevelyen Shooting at him on the Cradle. Brilliant Scene! Were these actually Pierce Brosnan’s Stunts or a Stunt Double?
He ain't dodging a bullet on the stair case this time! haha.
@@cameronturk4388 looks like Pierce to me!
@@SB992REBORN And your point is? I never said It wasn’t Pierce. I was replying to the other guy saying Pierce doing the same stunt as he did in GoldenEye again here In Die Another Day and me saying which scene that was he did In GoldenEye.
No wonder captain flint was so good at swordfighting. He had experience fighting bond. That's pirate swordplay right there
This fight reminds so much of the Alley Fight Between Rowdy Piper and Keith David in They Live (1988) 😎
Toby Stephens audition tape for Black Sails
Must have seen this clip 20 times in my life and only now realized bond lost the first 2 rounds on purpose!
Amazing swordsman
This fight still have speeds up my heart rate by the halfway point. The same cannot be said of any action scene in The World is Not Enough.
4:46 *toatally effective spin*
I did not understand that spin. Why did he do it? It was not needed, just to offer a coreography.
But it's a neat trick...
If you watch the sword fight with romantic dance music you will understand...
Spinning in combat is a death sentence 9 out of 10 times. You open your back to your opponent and swinging a weapon so fast that you can hardly control it is stupid. Plus you can probably get more speed from using lever action between your two hands compared to just spinning your entire body around.
Because it's a fucking movie that needs to provide entertaining cinematography and make Bond have superb finesse.
Pierce: Classic Handsome Bond
Daniel: REBIRTH handsome Bond
the biggest plot twist.....This isn't that bad of a movie
Toby Stephens❤️ hes Good & also plays Badass as Captain Flint❤️🏴☠️
