Aaaah, yes, one of my favorite movies of all time. Robert Duvall's speech about what it takes to "be a man" should be required listening for everyone, IMO.
And for me, this film was a case of colliding fandoms, because I instantly recognized the swordfighting style as that of Anthony DeLongis, one of Hollywood's top swordmasters/fight coordinators. He appeared twice as a K'IMMIE (bad immortal, starts with K, you figure it out) on Highlander, and was terrific both times because he and Adrian Paul were so well-matched in their ability to use swords! I've met him, watched him work, taken a class with his partner Bob "The Bob" Chapin, and literally shrieked out loud in the movie theatre when I finally saw his name in the credits - vindication! LOL! AND I read somewhere that it was because Christian Kane had learned from Anthony that he was able to suggest to the Angel folks that he and Angel should fight with swords in... what ep? Welcome Home, right?
