Sir Nate:
I found it hard to follow their movements.

Sir Douglas:
I like the candlestick maneuver. Especially when Knock-off Kirk Douglas tries to block with it, but Bald Guy breaks off one of the candles, freeing his sword. Now a lesser swordsman would have foolishly seen that as an opening for another attack and somebody might have gotten hurt, but these are clearly masters. Bald Guy expertly stops his blade in mid-swing so he can position it where it was supposed to go, preventing disaster and allowing Knock-off Kirk Douglas to bind the sword in the candlestick's arms.

Bravo, I say! Good show! *golf clap*

Ian:
Do you think when actors are pretending to be permanently stuck in a bind it dawns on them that they can easily slip their sword out and wonder why they're told to pretend like the swords are made out of super-glue?

I've wondered exactly that. I mean, it actually takes some effort to keep the swords stuck together without slipping, especially if they move such that the angles change.

Ah, I wondered why it wouldn't embed. Thanks!
