Fun Fact: He was also the guy who said to the Duke Leto, “My Lord. The sun is getting too high now. We have to seal the doors,” which meant that to be so high ranked, he must be one of Atreides’ most skilled fighters, making Feyd-Rautha’s victory more impressive when put in that light. (Further research dictates that the character has a name: Lieutenant Lanville)

There was a great moment in the book where after Feyd defeats the Atrades, Feyd picks up his blade and places it in the hands of the Atrades and folds his arms over his body. He showed respect to the corpse of his foe and by doing so indicates that his body is not to be desecrated but given a proper burial.

Feyd in the novel was putting on a show within a show. The guy not being drugged was his idea to give the Baron a bad rep, he had like 3 safety mechanisms in place to save his own ass, and any honor he showed was for crowd pleasing only.

The trigger word in Feyd's fight against the slave was "scum." The slave was hypnotically tranced to respond to the word briefly. But in the book, Feyd sets his own barbs, and no handler comes near the Atreides fighter. Feyd kills no one but the slave (at that point, at least).

Feyd Rautha is a really impressive person. Psychopathic beast with a deep sense of honor....

[@WhoTookPlockrock]

I think the most interesting part of all this is that for all his smugness and posturing, Feyd was objectively saved twice, by his shield and by outside interference. By rights he should have lost the fight more than once-over to a malnourished man given every possible disadvantage. Feyd is a sadistic noble that plays at being a savage warrior, never realizing how sheltered he's truly been even when supposedly "tested" - and that costs him his life against Paul.

[@Limpnipss]

I disagree, he was never saved. The shield was a taunt, not a miss. Feyd was toying with him, rewatch the clip. He doesn't miss the block, he lowers his guard after the last hit and lets it happen, then smiles. Also the interference by the black jester things was just interference, they didn't interrupt any attack, it was just a cheap shot. And when he fights Paul Atreides, he basically wins the fight. Its only his arrogance and cockiness that allows him to lower his guard enough for Paul to make a killing blow. Feyd is a ruthless and skilled fighter. Not sheltered at all. If he was so sheltered, why does the Baron escalate the situation on Arrakis to him after the guy Dave Bautista plays fails?

[@r.koolen3180]

@@Limpnipss I think in the movie both arguments can be viewed as vaild, however in the books Feyd clearly loses the fight without help. He uses a hypnotic word to paralyze his opponent for a split second. I feel the spirit of Frank Herbert's Feyd Rautha is one like descirbed in the top comment. Not an arrogant man but just so unknowingly sheltered he doesn't realise he is flawed and his fighting isn't of the highest caliber. However for a modern movie you can't have the protagonist fight a villian who has never won a fair fight on screen and having a close fight with him brings Paul's combat skills down. So instead we have a modern Feyd who is arrogant, psychotic and highly volatile but has true combat prowess and a twisted but clear sense of honour. In my mind the Paul and Feyd from the books are far less impressive combat-wise compared to your average Atreides warmaster such as the one in the arena, but they are about equally matched in skill so you still get a good fight at the end of the book. Neither is a fighting god, neither can win without tricks (Paul seeing the future, Feyd cheating).

This entire scene feels like an exact inversion of Paul's scene with the War Council. In both, we see the characters fulfilling fates given to them by others, Feyd is reaching for power through a test of martial skill, and does so to impress both his Barron and the Reverend Mothers. Paul's test is also done in the shadow of the Mothers and his late father the duke, but is one of foresight and leadership. Paul enters an arena and avoids a fight by manipulating others, while Feyd enters an arena and is manipulated into a harder fight than he signed up for. Finally, Paul does all this with great hesitation, because he knows the horror he will unleash if he does this, while Feyd relishes in the bloodshed and violence of the moment, both blind and uncaring about the future it will bring about, even as it leads inevitably to his death at Paul's hands. Even the color pallet is swapped, with the War Council being colorful but dimly lit, while the Harkonan arena is washed out, entirely devoid of color, but bathed in harsh, blinding light. In almost every way I can think of this scene presents Feyd as the anti-Paul, with both characters building themselves up to the eventually moment where they first meet, and immediately fight to the death, as if two anti-particles colliding in mutual annihilation.

[@Amarnath62627]

shooting this scene in black and white was the best decision

[@frank3508]

It had to be, because at the core of Geidi Prime's sun is a slow-burn quantum singularity, which completely absorbs the light spectrum the star emits, washing everything under its rays in very stark, harsh, searing, and perpetual black and white tones.

[@_Cato_]

It's actually not even "true" black and white - it's infrared

[@andrewboteler7522]

The sound of the shield bubbling in while he 'fights' the drugged slaves isnt necessary, but just shows the care put into the scene. Best part of the movie imo 😊

bro, feyd rautha is so interesting, most movies would portray a psychotic character as just that, no moral code, no respect for life, only wanting bloodshed, but he's not like that, is clear he's kind of emotionless, but his sense of glory and honor in battle is very clear, like some sort of a mad warmonger of the middle ages, cool af. And also no expository dialogue needed to state this, his actions make it very clear

Let’s not pretend it was a fair fight - that Atreides hadn’t had a good night’s sleep, or three squares a day for who knows how long. These things considered, Feyd should be disgusted with himself that it was ever at all a near thing, no?

This melody suddenly fell into my mind after muttering for a while, two options came to my mind, either I said dune 2 or Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, fortunately, I found it, that’s exactly what it was, but I haven’t found the long version or where it was inspired yet, I’m looking for.

What’s even cooler is that in this scene Feyd kills the last Atreides in a fair fight. In the book, he only fights one, barbs him, fights shielded the entire time, fights with poison on his wrong blade ( customary to be on black blade, is one white blade ) and still needs the trick of hypnosis to beat the Atreides fighter. Them Atreides fighters were really the best fighting force in the universe bar the Saudukar and Fremen

[@samvandenboogaard263]

Also this entire fight is a ploy by Thufir Hawat to make sure the slavemaster who allowed an unpoisened fighter into the arena would be killed, which gives Feyd a chance to kill baron Harkonnen. Thufir wants to weaken the Harkonnen house from the inside so that House Atreides is avenged. That’s the “plans within plans” line’s origin. Read the book, it’s one of the best of all time

[@MyDesertMyDune]

@2:20 I love how everything is conveyed through the next few seconds: Feyd knows the Atreides isn't drugged, the Baron has been waiting for this exact moment and to see what happens next, Bene Gesserit are shocked at what they are seeing, plans within plans within plans...

Cold Steel makes some great machetes.

[@LCdrDerrick]

@@paulpallante3394 I can recommend them after weeks in the thorns. They allow for a very sharp and narrow edge which also lasts. It is almost a pleasure to sharpen them. You do not want chrome in your steel, e.g. like some C440 crap. The grips are also fine and not slippery at all, even with moist hands. Even the prices are reasonable. My favorites are the longest Latin for the weaker bushes and the Kukri for the thicker branches. The All Terrain Chopper is a bit of an overkill, too heavy even with training. They are serious tools and no toys.

Cool detail that they kept from the books: the undrugged gladiator carved the Atreides hawk into his arm, showing the devotion of the Duke's soldiers. Too bad the movie did away with the rogue Atreides soldiers joining the Fremen for the last battle and how Paul pretty much made them all nobility as a thank you for their loyalty.
