random movie query

[swan_tower]

I need recommendations for a movie with a really epic fight scene in it. But the fight has to be of a specific variety: something in the "two-handed broadsword" or "double-headed axe" family. Y'know, the sort of fight where a guy plants his feet and starts whaling away at something at least twice his size with a weapon that's at least half his size. As much as I loves me some rapier duels, or dexterous hand-to-hand throwdowns, I'm not after that kind of thing right now (and I've got plenty of it on my shelves anyway). We're looking for mighty-thewed, stamina-of-an-aurochs kind of combat here, or at least as close as I can get to it.

Suggestions?


(N.B. -- I would like suggestions of such scenes done well. Bonus points if the movie containing said fight doesn't suck. I'd rather not watch crap, thanks.)

Watched Pathfinder recently. Spent a bit too much time beating my head into the table to appreciate any of the fights. There's "historical inaccuracies," and then there's "Jesus wept I wrote my thesis on Viking weapons and I'm an archaeologist MAKE THE PAIN STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPP."

Sometimes, I just can't turn the brain off.
