LOVE this bit - *thank you* for uploading - esp satisfying after seeing the "foppish and seemingly empty-headed" public persona he has had to play. just found this out - they did this scene in one afternoon = and both were very "unrehearsed". had massive crush on Anthony Andrews since Ivanhoe 😍🤩😍 - didn't really until just now, Sir Ian McKellan (aka Gandalf!) " "Anthony Andrews and Ian McKellan learned to work well together, especially in their fencing scenes. Although the final edits made the sequences look masterful and smooth, the actual filming was sometimes dangerous. Andrews had done fencing previously, but he was still worried that he might injure McKellen with his sword because of the high speed movements they were required to make: “We had our backs to the wall in the fencing scene because we had little time to film it - only one afternoon [!!]. It really needed a week. It was hair-raising because when you fence at high speed, you have to be well-rehearsed and really understand the moves you are going to make ahead of time. Since we were so unrehearsed, every once in a while we’d forget a move, putting each other’s life in danger. You had to remember to duck quickly. Ian McKellen and I developed a rule that if we forgot what we were doing, we would both scream to give the other person a chance to get out of the way. "

@@kinggeorgeiii7515 NO. I think the point is 'thank god they don't make movies that have such glaring deficiencies and unrealistic portrayals of combat'. You know, shooting guns out of people's hands, etc, was quite common in early Hollywood and not director would think of including such a scene today. As to the fencing, as a life-long fencer I can attest that it was very slow and very fake. But thanks for reminding me what a prig King George III was and why we kicked his powdered wig out of the colonies. A welcome reminder.

Nah that was his mutant descendant Eric. Chauvelin was actually once a great white wizard back in the day and was more used to using a long sword and a staff than a rapier, but then he had to leave the middle earth after the defeat of Sauron to live in the land of mortal men so he kind of lost his powers, although he did become young again.
