266 Swashbuckling Films


The following films contain at least one scene of swashbuckling, sword fighting, fencing, or dueling.


The Rating category is a general critics rating (1 to 5 stars) and is not based on the quality or quantity of sword fighting.


The Swash (Swashbuckling Rating) category is based on the quality of the sword fighting scenes in the film.


The Fights category shows the number of sword fight scenes in the film.

 

Due to the enormous number of films which fall under this category this database is a major work in progress which will take some time to complete. If you know of any films, dates, actors, directors, fight directors, and producers, which are not listed below or the number of fight scenes in a film listed below please e-mail the information to us at 1@MSFencing.org so that we can update this database.

 

If you would like to contribute to our effort to rate these films based on the QUALITY of their fight scenes feel free to send us an e-mail with a rating from 1 to 5 on any of them that you have viewed. Each week we will update this page with the new cumulative Swash Rating.

 

A big THANK YOU to members of the Swashbuckling Mailing List for periodic contributions.
