He'd show up to the opening of an Envelope
Just need Hasselhoff to show up and save the day!
But seriously..
I love that Movie it's like, If Ray Harryhausen made a Space epic using Lego Whilst hallucinating on LSD!
Fun fact: Lee is indeed a direct descendent of Charlemagne and it was said that the hilt of his sword was curved.

His Autobiography is very good and he often mentioned his extensive sword fighting career in movies, I loved his Rochefort in The Three Musketeers.

Geneticists have estimated that pretty much every European is a descendant of Charlemange by now but there are not many families that have antique documents that can show that lineage.
And this is the hilt, in the Imperial Treasury, Hofburg, Vienna (2015). Sorry about the low quality: (cheap camera, shooting through glass in low light).
It was in a room together with a few other Habsburg treasures, including the Spear of Destiny.

I loved the first two as a kid and watched them several times on TV and VHS in the '80s, but did not know until today that there was a third movie with the same cast in 1989 until I looked up and watched it just now.Finally! Someone besides me who loved that movie!

The third movie is set twenty years from the first movies, as in the book, but the cast has aged only fifteen years. It is more common to do it the other way around these days it seems ...
Kim Catrall plays the daughter of Rochefort (Lee) and Milady, and does more fencing than Lee, actually.

I've also read all the books by Dumas. I got to enjoy the older translations while attending PSU main campus, I liked the older ones more than the more modern versions.
For those who might not have known, in the scene where Porthos gets in the duel with the drunk (who then draws two swords!), that man was actually the Sword Master and fight choreographer for the movies!
