Favorite Short-Length Fights - Humble Samurai, Quiet Cowboy, and Arrogant Archaeologist

Image
I watched Twilight Samurai for the first time last month, and discovered my new (second) favorite short (in length) movie fight. Number one is, of course, when we first meet Kyuzo in Seven Samurai. Third is the Magnificent Seven equivalent to Kyuzo, Britt, with his knife skills. Fourth, of course, is Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I wonder at my great love for samurai films, in particular Kurosawa's, but other well-loved films, too. What is it about these ronin that inspire hope and admiration? Anyway, here are the clips of favorite short-length fights: (Needless to add, these are all FANTASTIC movies, and please see the whole film if you haven't!) (1). Kyuzo in Seven Samurai (2). Twilight Samurai (3.) Magnificent Seven  - bringing a knife to a gun fight I must really just like those quiet, humble but confident and talented men, like Kyuzo and Britt. Yum. (4.) Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark  - bringing a gun to a sword fight
