Thanks for the upload. When I saw this scene at the theater, I couldn't make out the angle of the final strikes.

But, film-wise this was probably more satisfying.

The book’s fight has some interesting themes going for it, but it's mostly just Paul and Feyd circling each other while Feyd cracks one-liners. Paul was built up too much for anyone to seem like a legitimate threat-even Fenring hesitates to fight Paul.

If there is a path that poses no risk or harm, it's not interesting.

@@Gunnar001 100%. This trope drives me insane in books and movies, and I can't understand it as a creative choice - it's not satisfying. In this case Feyd is also part of the Bene Gesserit breeding programme, and presumably has elite training of his own. But it's established that Paul has talent, the best training, elite experience, and elite ability even at the start of the first film (when he fights Gurney to a draw). From there he's had exposure to the spice and taken the Water of Life. As a narrative choice it doesn't make much sense, either. He's emphatically losing the fight before he gets lucky at the end. That doesn't make him look strong in the eyes of his followers.

I feel they both are good in their own right. The book had a more definitive sense that Paul was the better fighter, but both show how he overcomes the ferocity that is Feyd

[@brianwagner781]

I thought the book made Paul out to be clearly superior (which makes sense with his BG training)and that felt less suspenseful. The book also made it clear Paul could have easily gained a winning advantage with voice. The book's danger was in Feyd's trickery, and Paul refusing his biggest advantage. Both versions are good. The book gave you insight with Paul's thoughts. The movie couldn't do that and had to make the fight look more physically dangerous. The movie also made a bigger deal of Feyd as a character. So it would have been lame if Paul didn't have to overcome seemingly being outmatched.

[@FPAlpha]

Paul also knew that Feyd was conditioned by the Bene Gesserit with a codeword that if said would lock up his muscles yet he refused to say it. I really love this fight, two fighters at the top of their game. I also love how no one interferes, not even the Fremen when Paul is stabbed because it never occurs to them to help out someone weaker. You either make it or you die.

[@footbru]

Too homo-erotic for Hollywood?

[@brianwagner781]

@@FPAlpha Right, I forgot about the codeword. Been a long time since I reread Dune. Loved that too about the Fremen in book and movie. Overall, the scene is a good case example of how books and films often have different strengths. Films are visual, so you can do more making Feyd look physically dominant, and show Paul panting to heighten the suspense. While the books description of the fight would never have worked on film.

Ironically, Feyd is the hero of this fight. If he won, less people would have eventually died. Crazy to consider that.

i never read the books and had no idea what was gonna happen next so i was legitimately at the end my seat during this fight

So good, loved how intense this was.

[@kajani6181]

In the book, the emperor's blade is poisoned and Paul has to deal with it in his body and negate it while fighting.

[@JimtheEvo]

Not technically poison, as the snoopers didn’t detect, it but a soporific but I’d be damned if I know the difference.

[@johannesbrunjohansson1636]

If I recall correctly, the emperors blade wasn't poisoned, but Feyd-Rautha had a hidden blade on his body that was poisoned.

[@WebbR337]

@@johannesbrunjohansson1636 This is true. It was a poison blade concealed in the hip of his armor.

[@Rekaert]

@@JimtheEvo The soporific is more of a drug to induce lethargy, to slow Paul down enough so that Feyd can set him up for the hip blade which was properly poisoned. Paul meanwhile had his blade coated with acid, just to burn Feyd and panic him into believing that he had been poisoned in turn. Fun times in Arrakeen.

[@szinyk]

@@WebbR337 yeah, they actually portray that in the 2000's miniseries, along with Paul using the weirding way. Kinda disappointed that this version had neither of those things. :/

[@badbishop1049]

When Feyd saw the look of confidence that Paul had when he saluted and said "May thy knife chip and shatter" Feyd replied back in kind with a mocking grin and tone because he thought that Paul was underestimating him and that he could exploit that. Little did he realize that he was actually underestimating Paul and his overconfidence after he stabbed paul then moved in close and slow for the coup de grace, so sure he had already won, was his own undoing in the end. But like a warrior he acknowledged his opponents skill and cunning by telling him he fought well before he died.👍

I love how your edit turns completely comedic at 3:29.

After this very tense fight we needed some comic relief. Stilgar was happy to oblige.

Say what you want about Feyd, he went hand to hand with Muad'dib in this knife until the very end, at some points I was so inmersed I thought Feyd was going to win.

The lack of music is what makes it so intense

I didn’t watch the movie yet but I noticed his eyes are starting to turn blue that’s cool

[@rhenvao2844]

I like the book ends to Feyd's character. In the first fight against Lanville, he rams the knife into his opponent and congratulates him on a good fight: "You fought well, Atreides." In the final fight, Paul fatally wounds Feyd the same way and he echoes "You fought well, Atreides" to acknowledge Paul besting him. What a great end to his character. I wish he was in Part One, but I'm very happy with what we got from Feyd in Part Two.

Dune part 1 and part 2 greatest adaptation ever bye bye dune 1984

[@dankblissey6162]

I found it a bit odd that it was such a close fight when paul has been trained by the best warriors in the known universe and is clearly shown to be absurdly good in hand to hand combat. And Feyd has exclusively fought with drugged soldiers and one lucid dude who still had been prisoner and tortured for ages and was presumably very weak.

[@Gunnar001]

It made little sense. Feyd fought drugged prisoners and others in unfair fights. He was good but nothing amazing. On the other hand, Paul was trained by the absolute best fighters in the Imperium AND received Bene Gesserit training from his mother (Weirding Way) that gave him peak human speed. He was probably well beyond even the legendary Duncan Idaho after he took the Water of Life. That’s the reason why Paul defeated Feyd with not too much trouble in the book. Feyd being a superior fighter in the film because….whatever…is simply nonsense.

[@maxim196]

​​@@Gunnar001It would have made the movie's climax very anti climatic and boring if Feyd was a piece of cake for Paul

[@Gunnar001]

@@maxim196 They need to actually have it make sense then. Earlier in the film, Feyd had some trouble fighting a weakened Atreides prisoner. He even gets angry because he thinks the Baron was trying to kill him…because he had to fight a starving, weakened prisoner. We’re supposed to believe he can somehow outfight a Paul? The battle hardened Kwisatz Haderach with Bene Gesserit abilities who was trained by legendary warriors? How?

Damn what a good movie

where did the third knife came out?

[@Antimanele104]

Feyd Rautha: May thy knife chip and shatter! Cliff Booth: *clicks tongue* For anyone wondering, Austin Butler, the actor who plays Feyd Rautha, also has a part in the movie Once upon a time in Hollywood as one of the members of the Manson family. He is the guy who is killed by Cliff Booth in self defence along with the other members when they assault his home.

Paul gets stabbed in the gut and keeps fighting, Feyd gets stabbed in the same gut and dies instantly. WTF?

If "the main character never dies" was a duel.

[@warrenmwanza2322]

feyd was damn good. I wonder what he could have accomplished had he expanded his awareness like paul.

[@nationalsocialism3504]

Feyd would have most likely made an excellent God-Emperor... Paul was too weak to bear that responsibility & broken down under weight to die walking into the desert blind and a failure. Leaving that terrible burden to his son Leto II to carry as the God-Emperor for the next 1000 years
