The Duelists

I've wanted to see this 1977 film for ages. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I can't stream it online. I've tried all the video rental places in town to no avail. It's quite expensive to purchase online.

This duel from the film is phenomenal:


What do you think? Has anyone here seen it?

 

Buy it from UK amazon and get it shipped for a few bucks.

Superb film, the fight choreographer William Hobbs also did Rob Roy and the '73 Three Musketeers which are good films with excellent sword-fighting. Also the 2002 Count of Monte Cristo, which has really good fight scenes despite being generally jank.

 

amazing film. i believe it's ridley scott?

 

It's his first film. I've seen a lot of his others, and I've enjoyed everything I've seen by him.

 

Had a check you can digitally rent it on Amazon, if you impatient like me. Been wanting to watch this for a while..

 

I've never done anything like that before. I'll look into it.

I literally still rent movies.

 

Although it's not as quick, with older films, it's often cheaper to buy the Dvd then it is to stream the Dvd quality film.

I imagine its expensive in the US because its one of ridley Scott's first films.

Have you tried Canadian amazon/ ebay?

 

I found a copy for like $75 CAD.

I'll keep looking.

 

The UK amazon has it for 4 pound. So max 8ish dollars, plus postage, but postage from The UK.
