    Errol Flynn. Captain Blood is one of my favorite movies of all time, even though I always forget about it.

    Oh, and Russell (how the hell do you spell that?) Crowe ain't a swashbuckler. At all.

    Any of you know where Errol is from?
    Heres a few of his movies


    Maybe the best swashbuckling movie ever
    And there are many more.

    Seems he had a thing for Olivia D.
    They made a great team along with good old Alan Hale.

    Flynn was a Tasmanian devil.

    Sorry your keyboard 'L' misfunctioned when you made this topic, Gawain, Ol' buddy. :)

    The kids here probably thought you referred to a new guitar pickup, related to the Humbucker.

    Errol was pretty good, but, the KING of swash-buckling IMO is Danny Kaye. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...542790-3848901
    Genius. Brilliant, funny man... and a master fencer.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Greatest Swashbuckling Character = Sharpe (new-ish i know but i dont care)

    Greatest Swashbuckling actor= I dunno, might have to agree with all the Errol Flynn voters
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    I'm with Gawain. It is Errol Flynn, no contest.



    Hmm... We need a pirate smiley.

    Would jackie chan be considered a modern day swashbuckler?

    If you can consider Tarzan a swashbuckler then id say Johnny Weissmuller ranks just behind flynn.
