Another Movie Weapon

The three-pointed sword is an unusual form of chinese dao. At the moment, I don't remember the name, but Brendan Lai was selling wushu versions of this weapon back in the '90's. There are versions where the blade was fixed both on a dao hilt and on a longer pole (a la the quandao).

Any pictures?

I'm still looking for information on the dao version. Here's a link to the pole arm version. For purists, note that this is a wushu weapon, and I'm posting it just because it's the only image I've found so far.

I'd dearly love to find the name for this particular weapon. Unfortunately, the terms (three points, two edges, sword/saber/knife/dao) all lead elsewhere. I will point out that the Matrix version has a western-style handle, but this is the only place (so far) that I've seen that blade shape.

I'll keep looking.
