Line 49:
* Subverted in ''[[The Mask of Zorro]]'', where Don Diego De La Vega asks his successor to demonstrate his sword fighting style. The student energetically swishes around his sword only to have Don Diego casually disarm him with one move with the implied lesson of not to waste energy with such useless flamboyance. Given that this is ''Zorro'', the rest of the movie ignores it for more Flynning, but points for trying.
** Another subversion: in the same scene, Alejandro mentions that swordplay is about putting the pointy bit into the other man.
** The Disney TV Version of ''[[Zorro]]'' in the 1950s somewhat subverted it as well, as [[Guy Williams]], who played [[Zorro]], was actually a champion fencer. His Zorro used a more accurate fencing style, though still stylized to avoid injury.
** Ditto with William's occasional sword fights in ''[[Lost in Space]]''.
* Subverted in the famous duel in Potop (the second movie made of [[Sienkiewicz Trilogy]]) - Kmicic is seriously fighting to kill. Wolodiowski, being a far superior swordsman, humiliates him by deliberately reducing his effort to Flynning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voxErBJyFuw
