He has been trained as one since childhood.

[@nazvaniekanala6677]

I'm ashamed of the filmmakers. This is the final fight of the two main characters and they cut the budget on it and just made this fight out of pieces of videos of past fights. If you look closely, you will see that during the fight, Drew's clothes are constantly changing, they are never together in the frame and sometimes the weapons of past fighters shows up from the edge of the frame.

[@misterkami2]

Yes. They even use mirrored footage of David, occasionally seen with a clear left handed grip like for example at 4:13

[@sergeantb.r3575]

I see it too. That’s the part I hate about the whole movie. It was all great until the end where it got bad. And the scenes were out of order.

[@dimakauffman]

I watched it first time in VHS when I was 15, So impressive for me. Later when I was 27 I went to Japan and learnt Iaido. Although at this time so many components in this movie is somewhat ridiculous, it still has a strong impression in my mind, it maybe my inspiration to practice Japanese sword (Iaido), read the book of five rings, study bushido, something like that. Thank you very much for your sharing!

[@eduardoherrera8836]

La escena incomprendida por muchos, lejos de los errores de edición que son notorios, en si la pelea que se ve nunca sucede, cuando Drew recuerda las enseñanzas de su maestro que le dice "recuerda tu 6o sentido" y Kenjiro desenfunda la espada elevándola sobre su cabeza, Drew mantiene la mano derecha a la altura del abdomen, en ese momento ve en su mente los ataques posibles, ve como Kenjiro los defiende y una vez que analiza las posibilidades la escena regresa a ese instante, Kenjiro frente a Drew en posición "JODAN" (espada sobre la cabeza), cuando Kenjiro ataca , Drew solo desenfunda y lo hiere de un solo tajo, esa fue toda la pelea real, lo demás fue su 6o sentido. Por ello, ya al final Drew es capaz de percibir la espada que Kenjiro le arroja por la espalda y termina con su vida, algo parecido hicieron en el Ultimo Samurai en la escena en la que el Cap. Algren enfrenta a 3 enemigos, primero "ve" la pelea antes de que suceda.

The hardest lesson of the sword is to be able to resheathe it even when the emotional answer is to kill or cause harm

[@jacobmoore6874]

U should never unsheate a sword if u do not intend to use it

[@danielhaire6677]

@@jacobmoore6874 Just came back to my old comment after re-watching the movie (again). Yes, you should never intend to unsheathe a blade unless you intend to use it. However, sometimes your desires might not be honored and you might not be given a choice like the MC here wasn't. Yet, at the end, he showed mercy and re-sheathed the katana despite what his brother had done and tried walking away.

[@HiFi5280]

Stepdad always pointed out shit in movies. Now I can't stop looking at how his outfit kept changing

The shitty thing is that they inserted scenes from previos fights in this one. Would be better if the last fight was finished in one hit.

[@angel-rq4fz]

American Dream of being Samurai ! LOL

[@DamonBeausoleil]

They never fought. Watch closely and you'll notice the entire fight is cut scenes pasted from previous fights of both Drew and Kenjiro, in between random cheering , swords clashing amidst smoke and them staring seriously at each other. After Kenjiro draws his sword and Drew does his "ohm" technique to stop his attack (I assume) Kenjiro starts slowly raising his sword... @2:57 when Drew draws his sword to attack , Kenjiro blocks but actually its the scene when he cuts PhanXu's chain at a different camera angle. @ 3:35 they jump back to when Kenjiro initially draws the sword and scene cuts before Drew's "ohm" . @4:06 More cut scenes Kenjiro vs PhanXu , and Drew vs McKinney. @3:40 After Drew decides to fight from the ground (cause why not) this was PhanXu when in the beginning of fight against Kenjiro he does a turning move to fight from ground stance and Kenjiro points down with his sword @3:46 Kenjiro attacks him but the scene used was Kenjiro's first attack against PhanXu. You can see the red cloth and same fighting sequence. @3:56 When you see Drew blocking Kenjiro's attack , you can see Lars' axe. @ 4:15 were back to when Kenjiro starts slowly raising his sword at Drew's ohm phase again. @ 4:22 you still see Drew's hand in ohm position at the beginning. The previous fights were epic to say the least. PhanXu vs Kenjiro was the best fight imo. Nonetheless this is one of my favorite 90s movies.

This was clearly suppose to be a quick, no nonsense fight between two highly skilled swordsman. They then took it to the editing room and butchered it with fillers from other scenes. Would love to see the original edit, perhaps a re-edited version of this fight. You can tell more or less the correct scenes just by what they are wearing.

[@Betoni]

The director or writer was interviewed in a channel called Viking Samurai not long ago and he talked about how the studio wanted to add bunch of stuff in the film. They even added a sex scene where you cant see the characters faces at all and its so obvious its not the og cast members.

Los samuráis eran verdaderos guerreros apegados a un fuerte código, de conducta muchas veces rígido en donde el deshonor no tenía cabida. Para ellos vivir sin el no tenía cabida, vivían bajo las reglas del bushido que reglamentaba su vida desde que nacían,decían que su espada la katana era su camino ,estar vivos o muertos era algo que ellos ni siquiera se cuestionaban. Los ketos sus duelos eran a muerte,y si infringian una de las reglas preestablecidas practicaban el harakiri o suicidio ritual ,donde su mejor amigo lo ayudada a morir, decapitandolo con su espada. Su periodo de esplendor fue durante las guerras gempai ,y su declinación con el shoghunato Tokugawa, cuando el fin del aislamiento propiciado por los Estados Unidos, llevó al fin de su modo de vida .

This duel shot in different studios? You never see both of them in a shot together during an exchange. I have a hard time seeing Dacascos in a role like this. He’s one of my favorite martial arts actors though.

[@Fardawg]

The original fight was a buildup to the moment where David slices Mark's chest and what follows (a homage to Miyamoto Musashi's most famous fight). If you watch the fighting before that, you can see they used shots from previous fights they had and some inserts of katana's clashing in a void without seeing either of them. You can see the red sash that was on the swords of the guy with the long braid who Mark fought earlier. Someone apparently thought the original version was boring and they destroyed it in editing. I have a soft spot for this movie as I had the VHS and later the DVD, but the editing is horrendous. The fights are clearly out of order (the one villain says the first fight is up, yet we already saw a fight just before that) and you can see fighters training who are supposed to be dead.
