36. That swordfight in "Adventures of Robin Hood" was so good. . .
with the shadows and all, they did the same format again in "The Sea Hawk"

It didn't hurt that Erich Wolfgang Korngold did the music scores on both films. He was the John Williams of his time.

33. Definitely.
That match against Wesley (AKA Dread Pirate Roberts) was just a fluke. And I'll bet Inigo was a wonderful Dread Pirate Roberts!
