Sword Fight Scene!!!!!

So as I will be presenting this on Friday. That's right I'm going first!!!!
Here is my post.

Scene: Flynn Carsen (The Librarian) vs. Mason in The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice.
Actors: Flynn Carsen: Noah Wyle, Mason: Joe Knezevich
Stuntmen:  No stuntmen were used for this scene (as far as I can tell). Instead both Noah and Joe did the sword fight themselves . As Joe Knezevich is trained in both fencing and stage combat., He was also hired to fill the role of sword master on set.
Scenario: Flynn Carsen as “The Librarian” is tasked with collecting and protecting the great mythical treasures of the world. In this case he fights with Mason over the philsopher’s stone.
Style: Fencing sword fight.
Genre: 1 Realistic, 1 Comedic.
        --This fight is between two well educated men, Both in the film and in real life. Their fighting styles are real, and there is no added advantage to either side, other than their own knowledge. Where as the fight is realistic, they make the entire fight comedic by their dialogue and actions throughout.
Three Rules: Since Flynn Carsen is the protagonist I will be focusing on his character.
Objective: Flynn’s goal, in this fight, is to protect the philosophers stone from Mason.
Tactics: Flynn uses his extensive knowledge in history and sword fighting to defeat Mason. Most notably by using the Renaissance sword style of Hutton.
Obstacles: Mason, himself is a well trained swordsmen, utilizing the German sword technique of Johannes Liechtenauer. Which is defeated by Hutton’s style rather easily.
Other Info: Flynn Carsen is a man who has spent the first 33 years of his life learning. He holds 22 academic degrees. This along with the fact that he has spent two years as the Librarian. An ancient guardian, who is tasked with locating and protecting objects in the world. That have great power and in the wrong hands do do unspeakable damage. Makes him well suited to fight evil in all forms.
Why I Chose It: I chose this piece simply because The Librarian series is awesome. The third installment being no exception to this. This series has always been among my favorite movies and I was more than happy to use it for this assignment.
