Interesting bit of trivia: The man playing Fasil is Peter Diamond, the stunt and fight coordinator for the classic Doctor Who series throughout most of the 60s.

Yup, also worked on the fight scenes in The Empire Strikes Back, along with Bob Anderson. One of the greats of the stunt profession. Sadly died a few years ago.

I like how Fasil keeps making noises after he dies.

Remember: everyone wearing a trenchcoat is a potential Immortal and could be hiding a sword under there.

@FluffyBunniesOnFire Iman Fasil was a muslim convert and was quite devout. You learn this in the side stories.

Damn. Fasil looked kinda badass with his sharp suit and aviators. And he dies like a little punk. What a shame.

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

The word facil means easy in the Latin-based languages. In this fight he proves his namesake.

THIS WAS MY COLLEGE ROOMMATE'S FAVORITE MOVIE. HE CLAIMED TO BE AN IMMORTAL, BUT I PROVED HIM WRONG. HE IS NOW BURIED IN THE WOODS BEHIND THE COLLEGE AND A FOOT SHORTER:)
