What's Your Favorite Movie Sword

Hmm, tough question... I'm a big fan of Mifune's Nodachi from Seven Samurai, but I think that's because I'm a big fan of Japanese weaponry anyway. Which in turn makes me a big fan of the Brides sword from Kill BillÂ…as well as Zatoichis sword.

I'm a big fan of fantasy swords like those in LOTRs, including Anduril and a lot of the elven weaponry, like Hadhafang.

I love the style and mystery of the Green Destiny too.

And if I could choose it as well, I also like Gattsu's sword from the anime Berserk, Kenshins Sakabatou from Rurouni Kenshin, Seigfried/Nightmares sword from Soul Calibur and Clouds sword from Final Fantasy.

So all in all I don't know which my favourite movie sword is.. :)
 
I was thinking of Kikuchiyo's big ol' sword from Seven Samurai too. But I don't actually LIKE it, I just think it's funny the way the poor guy overcompensates...

That's what I was going to say. I LOVE THAT SWORD.

Also I love Acilles' bronze gladius. That's awesome.

In no particular order, except for #1.

1. By far the Connor Masamune Katana from the Highlander movies, in all of its different incarnations.
2. Conan Atlantean sword from the first Conan movie
3. General Katana's spring-loaded Zweihander/Bihander (i love that scene when he out-springs that punk.)
4. Anduril
5. Kane's Dark Magic Katana
6. Duncans Musashi Katana
7. Kurgan's sword
8. Wallace's Braveheart sword
9. Oreius' swords (especially the two-hander)
10. General Otmin's dadao
11. Aragorn's Ranger sword
12. The Toledo Salamanca
13. Jacob Kell's sword
14. Spartan sword from 300
15. Macleod Clan sword
 
i'll have to echo some earlier choices...the kurgan's, inigo montoya's, green destiny...

oh and do lightsabers count?...if so the i'd have to say that sideous's hilt in one of the prettiest props ever...

...skott
 
The GIANT sword from "Musa" the warrior. I don't know the charater that has it. But if you watch the film you'll know it when you see it. It's Big, It's Mean, and provides some splishy-splashy-splattery choppy-choppy action during the fight in the forest.

Pyramid Heads Sword from Silent Hill

The Tri-Sword From Sword and the Sorcerer

There are a couple of really cool swords in Tsui Hark's Seven Swords that are really cool. I can't remember the names of them, it's been a while.

and of coarse - Darth Vader's Light Saber..

The Spartan sword from 300: meant for killing, not for show.
[/b]

Aww, man. Why didn't I think of that one too?.? I love that one.
 
Well it is a "lightsaber" not a "sword". :) ...please most folks can't even limit themself to "A" favorite instead they put a list of various swords, adding lightsabers to the matter will make the posts a mile long. :)
 
Always loved Brian Blessed's sword from Robin hood, prince of thieves.

Or D'artanian's rapier from the three musketeers, the one from the late 90's.
