Thanks Kronckew.
Being a Filipino that is struck with kampilan-philia, I need to see that movie! 
Also, the kampilan's appearance in that movie was mentioned earlier --

Thief of Bagdad (1949): Kampilan, tachi, firangi, yataghan. Don't believe me? Go ahead, watch it...

... Theif of Baghdad seems to feature some "real" weapons ... "Theif" contains one of the instances of holding a kampilan backward, which seems like it'd be obvious with a real sword ... Thanks again Kronckew
