>>5546113I secretly and shamefully still enjoyed the cringe adaptation of Conan (2011) but here is Colonel Quaritch of Avatar demonstrating how not to make a fantasy sword. Everything about this is wrong I have no idea what this hinged parallel dual prong blade device actually is (incredibly obscure reference: is it some bizarre homage to the Albert Pyun 1982 low budget film The Sword And The Sorceror, which featured a similarly designed grotesque weapon?) This incomprehensible bewildering artifact is the true nemesis of the entire cinematic ordeal
