For the final exam of Stage Combat II at Fairleigh Dickinson University, students were given three choices of a fight scene to choreograph and perform, they were;

1 - Tybalt and Mercutio (Romeo and Juliet)
2 - Romeo and Tybalt (Romeo and Juliet)
3 - Inigo Montoya and Count Rugen (The Princess Bride)

If you haven't guessed from the title, my partner, Doug, and I decided to go with the Princess Bride fight. The scene contains all the dialogue from the film and such; the only difference is that the fight itself was all choreographed on our own. After two to three weeks of practice and a rewrite or two, the end result is seen in the video, which I'm quite proud of.

It was a little different this time around, as our Professor wanted us to do a serious fight instead of choreographing our own from scratch this time around. It was a nice change, for once, since mostly everyone's skit turns into a comedic fight. And in case anyone's wondering, I play Inigo (I'm wearing the bright blue Ray Finkle shirt), and Doug plays Rugen. It wasn't easy doing this role, as Inigo gets wounded a whole lot during the fight, so I had to keep that fact noticeable.

Sadly, this may be the last Stage Combat video I upload, because there's no succeeding course after II. But, I could be wrong...

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my Father, prepare to die."

Hope fans of the movie and actors in general enjoy this.

  • Damn it Greg, whichever one you are, you are incredibly bad at this! This is the worst fight exam I've ever seen, and I've seen some bad ones. Rubbish routine, rubbish acting, rubbish fighting and you just crucified a classic scene

  • not to be rude but the suck

    

  • the book

  • the essay or the book?

  • great. I liked it

  • Both of you suck at acting. You suck at fencing. And you ruined one of my favorite movies of all time.
