GWK

[punishalltrolls]

you can't really cut off the head with a little strike.

[TheMiniAssasin]

Asome watching this a high school wicked Macbeth

[Ikiloshi]

cor, i bet that hurt.

[SomeoneNamedChris]

now this is a REAL fight!

[Life2Give1]

This is why nobody goes on vacation to Scotland...might get your head chopped off.

[bubba4944]

where did that sword come from at 4:39?

[fendergibs]

@bubba4944 I think that is Macduff's original sword that Macbeth hit from him in the 1st half of the battle. It flies over there @ around 1:15. Its lying flat so its hard to see, but becomes visible when they roll over it.

[blink182rob88]

dam old english is so hard to understand it must be impossible in portuguese

[TheBarackClinton]

This reminds me of the fight scene from They Live.

[joeshadow67]

This is the best version of Macbeth. I saw this long time ago and I believe they can not make a new one as good as this. All the so real and well made. Polanski did great.

[dogliker2]

he moves his arms up to reach his head after it's cut off

[Kylev2]

5:05

Pretty fucking hardcore for 1971.

[classicrockhead1969]

@Kylev2 True, alot of people criticized this movie for the violence back then, I thought it was pretty fuckin great, this was a good version

[kealyc]

Being but a mere butler, you will not know the great theatre tradition, that one does never speak the name ... of the Scottish play.

[seandeaon]

This is the shitiest fight I have ever see.

[IanSumallo]

@seandeaon I can say the same for your comment. What do you expect from two warriors wearing heavy full body armor? This is what realistic Medieval combats are. Not like what we have today were warriors no longer wear full armor and they manage to evade every single attack...

[AtenRa]

I find it odd that not a single person screamed hysterically, cheered loudly, or otherwise made a sound when someone got his head chopped off before an entire crowd.

[arwing20]

@AtenRa there english not american

[arwing20]

@arwing20 i meant actors not characters before yer point that out

[latino6604]

When they parade his head around is hilarious and yet UNBELIEVABLY FUCKIN' SCARY.  I saw this in English class almost ten years ago and that part STILL creeps me out!!!

[LostTradergy]

@latino6604 i am also scared :( .. that part IS FUCKING SCARY !!!! SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! HEAD ON A STICK? PEOPLE LAUGHING AT IT? HOLY SHIT

[BlackPanteraSociety]

@LostTradergy

What are you 12 years old?

There used to be whole streets filled with heads on pikes, especially in medieval Japan. It was used to subdue any people who had different thoughts about the rulers...

[LostTradergy]

@BlackPanteraSociety how did you know my age?

[BlackPanteraSociety]

@LostTradergy

Let's call it a wild guess

[victorsrn1]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKKKKKKKKK a luta é muita engraçada

[afoninja121]

lmao macduff looks like hercule from dbz

[Sasukereturns]

Hey, what's the point of having heavy armor if it can't protect you from being stabbed by a sword? I'm sure that's why Macbeth was thinking at 4:41

[Sasukereturns]

@Sasukereturns

Of course he was stabbed in the unprotected arm pit.

[hnimisawesome]

@Sasukereturns Well you know he was hit multiple times and was pretty much unscathed thanks to the armor.

[IanSumallo]

@Sasukereturns well... the armor can protect you from being stabbed and most attacks... but a shove from a right angle with the right force can penetrate the parts exposed and only protected by the underlaying Chain mail. The vulnerable parts are where the joints are. Neck... armpit... behind the knee...

[bigbrown4114493]

Macbeth is scarface

[natyboox3]

I will NEVER EVER get over the fact that they parade around with Macbeth's head on a stick. HILARIOUS.

[lukemantis]

Kinda sucks that they cut out the part with the character of young siward, though.

I'm playing him in an adaptation in the summer...

[jmharrison51]

No they didn't - you just need to find part 17. You don't get to say much though, and for your sake I hope the director gives you an easier time than Polanski gives his Siward :-)

[jmharrison51]

Hey apologies - I found part 17 and no young Siward. He is in the film, but the perons who strung these clips together missed him out between parts 17 and 18

[IanSumallo]

@lukemantis No... there's a Siward in the movie... and he was killed but this youtube video got cut

[kealyc]

Being but a mere butler, you will not know the great theatre tradition, that one does never speak the name, of the Scottish play.

[alackofcolor37]

all the kicking and tripping in the fight scene was very Monty Python-esque. I imagined something a little more... hardcore

[037kondo]

well actually this fighting scene accurately depicts what a real sword fight between well armored knights would have looked like. heavy swinging, clumsy movements are all effect from heavy armor and weaponry. The only open spot for a sword to do any damage was between the armpits or the neck. Or maybe a shock blow to the helmet.

[Donut117]

dude when he gets his head chopped off... i stood up and yelled.

see, he kills king duncan at the beginning. king duncan looks like the burger king. yes, he does. google it if you dont believe me. i like burger king, and this mofucka comes and kills the guy who looks like the burger king. so in my mind, this is a play about a guy who kills the burger king.

im glad he gets his head chopped off.

[blaze100]

hahahahahahahahahaha that just made my day :)

[robotbegone]

saw this on DVD a few days ago, really loved it. this is one of the most intense fight scene ever!

jon finch such a stud even from today's standard!

[mequesto45]

fights better than jackie chan

[EP1Cz0ne]

i love the way Macduff shouts that he was born by Caesarean, and Macbeth is like "Oh shit!" lol :L

[hoodoo961]

The thing that pisses me off is that Ross gets off "Scot" free even though he was totally complacent in the killing of MacDuff's family.

[AWR1ddle]

only in the film

[nymphadora741]

this is the worst stage fighting I have ever seen. i act and have done stage fighting before, when fighting with swords it is definitly better played out than here (even though it is probably different on a movie than when you are acting on stage)

[IanSumallo]

@nymphadora741 Heavy Armor! Heavy armor! Do you have heavy armor on stage?

[EndlessInfinity1]

I'm glad this scene portrays how exhausting fighting to the death can actually be. There's a reason that rounds in professional fighting are only for around two minutes - now imagine if you're fighting for your life!

[chastitylover09]

I really expected MacDuff to show more anger- Macbeth had ordered the killings of the guy's wife and kids and he just calmly says, "turn around hellhound." whenever I read the play I had always imagined him to be roaring with vengence and striking with a fury, but here he just seems tired and unmotivated

[yhshvh10]

I was sorry to see that the poster of this video cut short the end of this scene. it really makes the whole movie.

[PeaksBob]

i know that they're in heavy armour and it's hard to move, but this fight scene is a complete farce!! u get made a thane coz ur sposed to be good at fighting, but this fight was so badly choreographed i've been in hysterics for the last 5 minutes xD

[Louishuff23]

its not 'badly' choreographed, its realistic. Idk if you were expecting them doing backflips and shooting force lightning or maybe random explosions behind them or anything. real fights just with fists are ugly, yet alone two dudes in 50 pounds of metal armor and heavy swords. The more polanski you watch you realize all of his fights are raw, and therefore, good

[PeaksBob]

it's actually not all that realistic - there's several times u can clearly see they're aiming for the swords. I'm not saying u can't see the same thing in other fight scenes, but that's what i mean when it's badly choreographed, a good film fight looks like at least one of the people properly wants to kill the other person, there's too much in films of people waiting for the other person to be ready to go through the fight (most often seen in group fights)

[TheChokesonYou]

Its called blocking would you want to loose a leg and chop his head off to win a fight or block it and cut his head off when he makes a fatal mistake

[Damar148]

I love how there's an courtyard full of knights and soldiers, and only MacDuff has the courage to fight MacBeth.

[cordasco2112]

it isn't that. the soldiers know that mabeth had macduff's family killed. so they're letting macduff get revenge on macbeth by letting him fight by himself.

[FrigidDeath]

Macbeth is pretty fucking cool in this.

[casfetes]

1:42 heads up

[Shersequest]

"I cannot fly...but bear-like I must fight the what?" I need these for a project, and it doesn't seem to be in the original tragedy of Macbeth? :c

[Shersequest]

OH NEVER MIND. I found it, it was earlier on. "Bear-like I must fight the course!"

[bluntman860]

this is the best fight scene i have seen in a movie thats is like this. most movie with knights or kings and queens dont have great fight scenes

[gamecubeman83]

polanski makes it feel like macbeth is on drugs a little bit

[gamecubeman83]

except maybe how heavy the swords are, this fight scene is pretty realistic

[Tasteslikeliberty]

those swords are actually really heavy and they are also wearing all that armor that's pretty restricting

[gamecubeman83]

yeah what i mean is that the swords are heavier in real life than they make them seem here

[coyotefever105]

Is it me or does this fight scene remind you of Monty Python's Holy Grail Knight Fight scene?

[tunafan1]

1:44.

Damn poor Ross I just feel bad for him throughout the play because he always delivers the worst news to people..

[InspiredChaoss]

Yes, and now he gets a sword thrown at his head. Poor poor Ross.

[cordasco2112]

it was actually the ax he stole from one of the soldiers that were with siward.

[kev2596]

Great sequence as 'insanetrickster' said it is at least believable

[aquamarine213]

this fight scene is hilarious....

[rkao]

all fun and games until he is beheaded

[HappyModder87]

It's nice how the armor actually blocks the blows, instead of all these new movies that make armor look unnecessary when the hero's blade goes through them so swiftly.

[IanSumallo]

@HappyModder87 or the hero is still so agile for them to dodge attacks rather than make the armor hit them and let the armor do its job

[KushKrashBOOM]

i feel bad for macbeth =[

[Ajax5405]

u SUCK!

[caviar360]

TURN HELLHOUND TURN!

lol my favorite

[insanetrickster]

I like the fight because it looks believable. Real fights don't look so sophisticated as portrayed in movies, they look just plains sloppy.

[Sasukereturns]

@insanetrickster

Yeah, and they don't always come down to skill. Some times you get lucky enough to have a sword right near you when your opponent isn't looking. :).

[chucky50187]

I love the way the Scottish King kept trying to keep his crown on lol

[IanSumallo]

@chucky50187 I am the Scottish KING!

[GreatGrumbledook]

Why should I play the Roman fool, and die on mine own sword? Whiles I see lives, the gashes do better upon them. That is the spirit! The typical Shakespeare villain never gives in and carries on fighting even when all hope for success is lost. This comforts me but I am still angry with good old Shakespeare as he denied a certain female person in one of his plays to go out like Macbeth, standing up to it like a soldier not like some poor, wasted, rag-assed renegade...

[Ajax5405]

ah! i see ur an apoclypse now fan 2

[GreatGrumbledook]

@Ajax5405: Yes! But there is nothing better than being undetected when quoting it! There is nothing like saying: "In this war, things get confused out there, power, ideals, the old morality, and practical military necessity. Out there with these natives it must be a temptation to be god. Because there's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. The good does not always triumph." - and the others do not know you are just quoting a movie!

[Ajax5405]

hmm i guess i dont try it that often u got to admit apoc. now was a great movie, i personaly enjoyed it more than coppla's other movies

[MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

To be fair, Macbeth is more of a tragic hero. I mean, the 'tomorrow' monolougue was fantastic.

[GreatGrumbledook]

@MANJYOMETHUNDER111: More a noble villian like all of Shakespeare s evil characters are; at least not a good-willed hero and being of good will defines the hero in the modern world; maybe in a Greek sense of the word but I may quote Macbeth himself: "That is a step, On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap, For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires! Let not light see my black and deep desires: The eye wink at the hand! yet let that be, Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see."

[MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

By all means, he may have very well become a villain at the end, but he was not one at the beginning. A tragic hero is by definition a good character that has an bad trait, and that leads them to do something erroneous which brings about their downfall/death, which they usually accept before it happens. Macbeth was good, but was too ambitious, which made him kill Duncan/anyone in his way. He then envoked the wrath of Macduff, and the 'Tomorrow' monolouge was his way of accepting his death.

[GreatGrumbledook]

@MANJYOMETHUNDER111: If you use that definition I grant you the tragic hero but for me a tragic hero is some hero with tragedy in his life.

[MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

I understand.

[GreatGrumbledook]

@MANJYOMETHUNDER111: All is well that ends well! To quote the poet once more and it is nice if one is understood by others at last...

[Minan3]

wow i guess now he's king since now he's just a head

[MiscSckribblesGirl]

u hahah

(im in annie's classs so uhhhhhhh same comment...)

[annielftw]

I saw this in my lit class today after we finished reading Macbeth.

It's safe to say everyone almost peed in their pants.

Can you believe this was considered one of the best movies of 1971?

[Sanderus]

In my view it is a fantastic film. Yes, true, the fight at the end looks bad. But other than that, this film is perfection.

[rowewhite]

I could watch Macbeth's head being cut off for hours on end =)

God I love that play!

[HexicNexus]

this fight was awesome
