Default Movies and Edged Weapons Pt. 2/Suriyothai

Got to see this movie the other day. I highly recommend it. Thanks to those who pointed it out as I would have whoosed right by it channel surfing. Saved it to the hard drive.

Lot's of Dha!! A couple of questions?

Has anybody seen in person one of those big ones wielded from the back of an elephant? Ever got to hold one?

I was suprised to see all the smaller dha used in a two-handed chopper / slasher style.
Where was the krabi-krabong two swords two hands supposedly of the royal guards?

I realize as a student of the Philipine martial arts and bladed weapons in general that in the heat of the battle all drills can go right out the window.

I still thought we would have seen at least someone like the scar-faced dude wielding two if in fact it's supposed to be decended from thai royalty guardsmen.

Just asking,

moose
