Good point. Perhaps should have been posted in "Edged Weapons in Movies." ?

My favorite was the first one. I always wondered what the movement looked like - only seen photos of these scenes. Very nice - thank you Rick.

I sat in anticipation eyes glued to the screen waiting for Tarzan to come swinging on a vine diving in the water saving the poor fellow with his foot caught in the giant clam.

Bill: Now if it was a sand shark, or a nurse shark, I would feel sorry for the shark.

Sand sharks can get pretty nasty. I stepped on a few on them.

Thanks Jose, that was my point in posting the links; to see what they carried for weaponry, era hilt styles, movement, vessels under sail, etc, etc .
This film takes you probably 75-80 years or so back in time; no Hollywood types constructed the houses or made the clothing, vessels or weapons .

Tough crowd here .....
