* ''[[The Three Musketeers (1973 film)|The Three Musketeers 1973]]'' (directed by Richard Lester) takes pride in giving fiction's most famous swashbucklers decidedly non-Flynn moves.

* In the third ''[[The Librarian|Librarian]]'' film Flynn has a sword fight with a throwaway villain at the start.

* ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' (2009) managed to work Sulu's fencing skill into the plot, when he confronted an axe-wielding Romulan with his fold-up saber. (Or maybe it was a fold-up cutlass. Or katana. All 23rd century folding swords look alike to me.)
