"Technique, my good man"



Kristin in Chivalry. Can't see this one very well. Got the caps from Cyn, but she was still practicing her craft.


Silas in Revelations 6:8. Can't see this one very well either. But it may help you remember the moving vid.


Morgan Walker in Indiscretions. Not a screen shot of the beheading exactly, but...


According to Highlander swordmaster F. Braun McAsh, the backhanded beheading stroke Methos used on Silas (and on Kristin in "Chivalry") is a result of Bronze Age weapons being shorter and less sharp. The backhand that starts over the head develops enough power to compensate for this. I guess Methos hasn't changed his sword technique much in 3000 years!

So we could say that in Methuselah's Gift he wasn't going to go through with killing Amanda.


And Alternative-Universe-Methos didn't behead Richie backhandedly either.

Know any others? Let me know! I'll add them!
