- "Handkerchief" knife-fighting scene with big Bowie knives from Walter Hill's 1980 western "The Long Riders" between bandit Cole Younger (David Carradine) and half-breed Cherokee Sam Starr (James Remar) in a Texan saloon. The pistol-wielding lady is the "Outlaw Queen" Belle Starr (Pamela Reed).

Saw this with my dad when it came out. I was almost sad when I left the theater because I thought I'd never see a movie I liked this much ever again.
I don't know if I'd call it the "best" knife fight ever, but it was entertaining.
I remember seeing this movie when it came out. I saw it at the drive in, it was the second feature . This movie never got the credit it deserved. The cinematic angle of the opening scene when they were all riding in hard on those horses was breath taking, it really drew you in. Even though it was not the feature film that night, I can not recall the other movie. One of my favorite films .
Yup. A great movie. And for me it had the best scene in Western film history. That slow motion escape from the Northfield, MN raid was unbelievable. Beyond epic.
It was made for television. It was never at the drive-in !!!
@@key2seventhree349 Wrong. The movie was released May 16, 1980. Upon release it was reviewed by the N.Y. Times, Los Angeles Times, Variety, the Chicago Tribune and the Washington Post. Do a little research before u embarrass yourself.
@@key2seventhree349 you had to be there , yes indeed it was .
Boudicca - It was made for television. Your a fool !!!
James Remar Better Known As Ajax From The Warriors, Great Actor...
Rest Well David Carrodine,
My Favorite Fight Scene With Him Was Against Chuck Norris In The Movie (Lone Wolf Mcquade)...
Deep Dive Trivia Bit: James Remar later played the father of the titular serial killer in Showtime's "Dexter". On that same show David Carradine's brother Keith portrayed a famous FBI profiler in the series' seasons 2 and 4.
It looks like the same vest he wore in the Warriors.

I love all those cheesy movies from the 80s and 90s. Everything made today is terrible, totally unwatchable.
I liked him in "48 Hours."
Best movie ever. My Pops had Long Riders on vhs when I grew up. We spent many a rainy Sunday afternoons watching Long Riders, Pale Rider, Outlaw Josey Wales, etc. He raised us up right
I am one of those, (pops) who' watched this great classic best western movie almost 40 yr.s ago w/ my young children, enjoyed it many times scince, memories of that movie, the time area, n precious times I was blessed to have with my children,brings much joy, many ways, rewatching this wonderful old movie whenever I get the opportunity...
absolute truth ... many life lessons here !!!
Brought up right???
what to Become a knife stabbing
and a crazed
pistol killing Outlaw!!!😂😂🤣😂
Them were all grea
Them were all great movies!
An EXCELLENT tribute to Mr. David Carradine.
David Carradine = pedophile.
"Whats the winner get?" "nothin' you both ain't already had." great bit of dialogue!
RIP David Carradine; you will be missed.
Long Riders is an underrated classic. The actor brothers playing the legendary brothers.
Y S IT IS UNDOUBTEDLY, THE VERY BEST KNIFE FIGHT IN A WESTERN MOVIE EVER!!! AND HE WAS INMENSE!!! A TRUE LEGEND!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS BACK TO US!!!
Saw "The Long Riders" when it came out 37 years ago. I remember thinking how much David looked like his veteran-actor father John. Straight out of 1939's "Stagecoach" with John Wayne.
I had to cut school to go see it in 42nd Street the day it first came out.
John is one of my favorites of all time.
Very cool,great scene,great movie
RIP David
You are missed
The Long Riders has some great one liners. Several in this short clip. Great movie that I have watched over and over again.
Long Riders....one of the 10 best westerns ever made. Genius for casting four sets of real-life brothers to play the leads: the Keach's, Carradine's, Quaid's, and Guest's. The best part of the movie? Too many to name but this one is certainly up there. Best part of this scene... 3:58 when Star takes Carridine's knife to the cow of his leg, spits out the cloth and smashes the mug of beer with his fist before falling to the ground.
I saw this movie when it was released in Australia in early 1981 I think. I agree with you on it being in the top 10 all time great westerns... Ry Cooder's sountrack simply was wonderful. My favourite scene/sequence was the botched bank hold up near the end when the townspeople fired upon the gang as they tried to escape. The slowmo sequences and sounds of the whistling gunshots were brilliant...
@@LJW55 Yep. Keith Carradine had a banner year in 1981 because for me another great gritty film of his came out in 1981 Southern Comfort. Also featured a great score by RyCooder. And surprise! It was directed by Walter Hill again. Ooops pardon me. Long Riders was 1980.
The best knife fight was in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid.
"Oh, no, not yet. Not til me and Harvey get the rules straightened out."
IYKYK.
Yes 😂
"Someone count 'one, two, three go.'"
A great Western with a great cast. Damn few like that anymore.
nothing anymore !!!
I put it to you that the film, "The Hunted" has the best knife fight
"Nevada Smith"
@@aliceshaw8265 no equal
Totally agree
Number one.
Now that's some lady - Well deserved tribute to Carradine
May God Bless you and the Carradine family
James remar rockks !!!! Can yu dig it !!!!!
Suckers
The knife fight was a bit anticlimactic. I found the dialogue between Belle and Cole, and then Cole and Sam to be the highlight of the whole bar scene. "pleased to meet ya," and "glad I caught ya in a good mood," were classic!
it is a very nice scene otherwise - but of course it is not a realistic knife fight. but I guess that cut fingers, cut hands, and multiple stabwounds, possibly in both bellies, all happening in a few seconds was not wat people wanted to see on the screen.
Remar & Carradine, two Kings of Cool in a knife fight directed by Walter Hill. It don't get no better!
That’s not what a real knife fight looks like.
NOPE
Moi? I tried to push one away,and got 3 gnarled fingers from just a slight touch, let alone a stab or swipe.
Nope and lol
Agreed y’all
@@bumpdat01 is too an actual old-west knife fight! chew on my velvet rope, pardner.
The long riders gotta be in the top 10 westerns
*""TO DAVID CARRIDINE, YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY TREMENDOUS IN THE EPISODES OF ""KUNG FU""!!!!!* *""I ENJOYED EVERY LAST ONE, ""I STILL WATCH THOSE OLD EPISODES TO THIS DAY""!!!!!!!!!* *""DAVID CARRIDINE WAS A MAN BEFORE HIS TIME""!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
And it was a navy frogman that introduced me to the world of martial arts and took me to UFC fights in its infancy.
This highly underrated movie, also has a great performance by Fran Ryan as Zerelda James.
One of the best knife 🤩 Fight Western scene
Great Movie, great scene incredible knives, small swords really.
"Well, I'm glad I caught you in a good mood."
Well done Grasshopper!
I love that Sam rolls in and starts shooting at Cole's foot and Cole doesn't even flinch. That's years of experience against a young cocky upstart.
That's not years of experience thats what the script said to do. Dude it's a movie!
@@jamesfletcher4582 oh shit it's a movie? i thought this was a documentary or sumthin..
What a great movie! Thanks for posting this!
Holy shit, that is one of the many great movies I forgot all about. Thanks for the post
"Im glad I caught ya in a good mood"....damn that still makes me laugh.
James Remar, the universal infielder, the only actor who can play any role on any level. Him and Eric Roberts.
Both of them great and underrated actors!
Good call out! Only way to save that abomination The Rings of Power would be to recast Remar as Celebrimbor and Roberts at Sauron.
James Remar!! What a great bad guy!!
James Remar!! BADASS!!
James Remar had a good confrontation with Al Pacino in 'Cruising'. great scene
James Remar. Great bad guy in 48 hours.
R.I.P David Carradine
1936-2009
Went out like a boss.
I still consider my favorite knife fight from any movie. And while l love Hill’s movies, and there are even Westerns of his I like more, this is one of my top favorites of his, and I think the only Western of his (actually taking place in the old West, because as many say, including Hill himself, *every* Walter Hill movie is really a Western, even if in disguise).
Saw it in the theater and as part of my birthday gift disc haul to myself, just got it on Blu-ray.
Never allow a woman to set the terms.
The Man From Nowhere!!!
David uses much of the finesse that he developed while filming
King Fu.
Bad-ass western. Up there with
Tombstone if you ask me.
Watch it if you haven't seen it.
The Long Riders.
Cool Caine fights Ajax from the warriors.
I remember my first knife fight... good times
I like the way he kept the shiny new knife.
well of course, Cole's knife was still stuck in Sam. Ain't got all day here :)
@@JennaCidalzthose Bowies look like Westerns...😊
That's a heck of way to fight. I think I'll try it with my mother in law.
he was merciful,he just made him walk with a limp forever,it'll take 4 months for the stiffness to leave,don't play with kitchen untensils,david cardine and james remar are extraordinary actors,rip in peace dave
Dame wasn't worth the fuss! 😲
Nope
Knife fight over the town bicycle.
She said it herself. But crazy men like to fight, and are entertaining. She said it herself too. 😂
Postnut clarity was very much needed.
The hookers were all mutts back then in the West.
“Nothing you both ain’t already had”
That says it all!!!
My leg ached for a week when I first saw this in 1981....
A lot better than most film knife fights, but people who do a lot of wide slashing don't last too long, as a rule; when you miss, there's generally a moment when your belly's exposed. If you want to kill the other fellow (and if you don't you're a damn fool to be in a knife fight), you want to use the point, not the edge. And you hold your blade edge up; discourages grabbing at your knife hand, and (more important) when you plant it into their belly, you can rip straight up to their sternum...
Ain't nothing you already had. She says. You gotta love it!
I’m a historical knife and dagger martial artist and have been researching Bowie knife treatises which are scarce but I found an American civil war era pamphlet/booklet about Mexican knife fighting for greasers and divers but it was filled with more dirty trick type stuff than any specific technique or fencing science. Still very cool though
no less valid than unscrewing the pommel of your sword and hurling it at your opponent
@@0The_Farlander0 certainly more valid than ending him rightly
I’m reminded of the words of Sean Connery. When your opponent draws a knife you pull a gun.
Never bring a knife fight to a gun fight.
The look on Sam Starr's face after Cole pulls out his Bowie is..."Damn, this is one crazy reb".
Great Tribute...
Glad I caught you in a good mood 😁.....
Bite on this..."Hey you don't know where that shash has been!"
The best knife fight scene BY FAR is in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!
seattwa “Rules? In a knife fight?!?
NO RULES!!!”
(WHUMP!!!) 😖 ✨
“Well if there’s no rules; Let’s get started then.”
...again using a Western Bowie....😊
Why did they have to overdub James Remar with someone else's voice? He didn't have any kind of strange accent that needed overdubbing.
i'm constantly amazed by the type of woman men will fight over.
Skuzz buckets.
A friend who carried around the reputation of being a bad ass with a blade explained the whole idea of a knife fight in just one sentence. "If you're going to use a knife in a fight, the guy you're fighting never knows about it or sees it til it's buried in his ribcage." Sounds more realistic that way and definitely leaves no romance to the idea of wielding a blade.
Romance is overrated. Merely living is entirely too underrated
I really liked this film, mostly because of its grittiness and somewhat raw reactions to situations. Def a fav. But, this knife fight scene (I don't necessarily like to disagree with the majority) is in fact very entertaining and fairly chuck full of macho ingredients and expletives, I'll give you that. But as far as an actual knife fight goes this is a fantasy. As much as the Bowie knife is as impressive as Dirty Harry's .44 Magnum, it's a terrible choice for in-close combat such as was depicted in the film. Also, holding the knife itself in what is referred to as a 'Hammer' grip in such close quarters is questionable at best. A 'Hammer' grip is a better option from further distance and most effective with multiple threats (more than one bad guy). The reverse hammer grip is much more effective in close for many reasons including the ability to pin/lock the assailants body parts and not only slice important flesh/tendons but also lends itself to follow-up stab/slashing counter moves...and using your other hand, defensive blocking and/or joint locking moves. Apologies for rambling...great movie. But for this scene a backward held buffalo skinning knife would have been radically more....effective.
Ice pick grip best for inside tight game. Strong tight blocks leaving the off hand ready to trap/strike. I prefer edge in for destructive hooking. Edge out slashes are too weak. Backhand stabs are the way to go. See The Hunted, Seagal vs TL Jones.
I loved this movie and the knife fight was awesome, but my favorite fight scene with Carradine was him against Norris in Lone Wolf McQuade.
Thanks for posting. People have been so spoon-fed all these fancy and slick knife fights that they don't understand the reality of it. They aren't pretty nor fancy. It's ugly, sick and brutal and pretty darn sloppy too. In a "duel" type scenario, this comes pretty close. I would give honorable mention to the Taxicab scene in "Oldboy". Films like the Bourne series and Man from Nowhere are pretty cool, well shot and edited but not necessarily realistic. Valid techniques under ideal circumstances.
A great movie. Remember when this came out and what a big deal it was.
James remar looked REALLY good in his twenties!
(James Remar) Sam Starr - the villain from the 48 hours movie. Dude was in everything. In 1985, Remar was fired from the cast of Aliens after being arrested for drug possession.
I just learned that a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea and Aliens is probably one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time!
Hate to say it but, Thank God because Michael Biehn was perfect in that role.
This was my favorite knife fight untill I saw The Hunted in 2003(directed by William Friedkin) the second knife fight between Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro is amazing.
I just made the same comment a few minutes ago. Then I scrolled down and saw your comment. That was absolutely brutal! I love that movie.
Just more of Kwai Chang shewing on slattern's hosiery, as always.
I think it's kind of off-topic here, but me, I've loved every season of Dexter. Some are weaker than others, but it never stops being compelling TV. This is the last season, so Dex should finally get what's coming to him, and I can't wait.
Variation of the Indian knife fight ! Where the opposing wrists are tied with a leather strap!
Bad ass movie favorite of mine as kid
Funny how Carradine holds the knife in his right hand the entire time and when he stabs his rival the knife is suddenly in his left hand !!! 😂
You missed him changing hands earlier. It was his trick.
Set it up with several hand changes warming up. Then faked a change and front straight kick right up the middle. Covered low and opened up the high. Switched hands and blocked the high bare handed and drove the left hand blade into the thigh. Fight ender but nothing mortal or even serious. Smart.
Wow I grew up on this show when I was young and I have no recollection of grasshopper being anything but humble until he was compelled to act with violence.. He was "gangster" in this episode.. I'll have to K for more episodes of him playing this kind of role.
Just in case you are still searching, this isn't an episode from Kung Fu, but a scene from a movie called The Long Riders. Carradine played a bunch of though and evil guys in his career. Good actor.
Loved this. Thanks for posting. But I've gotta argue with you about this. I think the knife fight at the beginning of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," is the best knife ever put on film.
Great movie !!!
RIP David
I loved David in everything he did but, you're full of it if you think this was the best knife fight ever on screen.
If this is the best knife fight scene ever.
You must have never seen the movie
"The Rebel" a martial arts flick.
Awesome fight scenes
To jak tak samo "najlepsza walka na noże" jak to, że ten gość z opaską jest Indianinem. Bajery.
Bad Ass move RIP David !!
Best knife fight scene ever was in Under Siege 2.
Wow!!! Mo blood!!! I was 13 yrs old when I began to religiously watched the weekly episodes of this show. Looking at it now, I marvel at how I was fooled into believing the fights were realistic.
The martial arts advisors, David Chow and Kam Yuen, did their best to make them look realistic. Many martial arts practitioners participated in the series, as background actors and action doubles.
However, the realism of fight scenes at the time was subject to constraints of regulations: they could put like 4 minutes of fighting per episode, and the show was meant to be watched by children too, so... And the show's central idea was silent peace, not killing everyone while yelling.
Also, realism in modern martial arts films is another arguable matter. David Chow strived for the scenes he choreographed to look realistic in the sense that kung fu masters didn't look superhuman, because martial arts aren't magical. It seems that now most martial arts movies set not only superhuman, but inhuman standards.
Bill vs Lord Raiden. Ooooh what a match up.
What have I done with my life?
Wait wait wait. This is incredible. So you're telling me that Dexter was raised by a Native American?? That explains alot! 🗡
Well fine it's a great scene she makes a great Belle Starr but let's give James Remar credit for his role as Sam Starr.
They were having a great time at the knife fight until Carradine ruined it by stabbing his opponent with a knife
This should be an Olympic sport.
Who says this is a good knife fight? Huge theatrical swings that lead you open to either a riposte or a counterattack. They wouldn't get past the first round in a fencing tournament anywhere.
It's got a big Bowie's in it and the Texas Flag in the background. They never drop the cloth in their teeth and the antihero wins. Sic
But it was a damn good movie
@@zombieheadpopper800 FBM... I was only discussing the over-touted knife fight.
The uploaded said it was. They didn't say most realistic. On account of ... its a f*****g movie. We get it. You're very smart. Now all the strangers will know. & you won't have to work so hard to show us anymore. Congratulations
@@BUKUDI Ok. You want to wallow in ignorance and make fun of the correct things? I'm sure that will take you far in life.
This knife fight makes the boxing in Rocky 1 look realistic. Maybe you should watch from Olympic fencing or professional boxing so you can get an idea of what combat sport speed and distance looks like. Or better yet, you can stay ignorant yet insistent.
James Bond's , "From Russia with Love" had a good fight between Sean Connery and Robert Shaw that ended with a knife,.
Point one: It's a movie, what did you expect someone to be gutted?
Point two: This was two individuals. Do you think all knife fights are alike? Are there set rules for knife fights? What is the protocol?
A great scene, BUT back when this fight takes place they didn't have shiny stainless steel Bowie knives
like you see in this scene at 1:09,
There were plenty of Carbon steel bladed Bowies,
but Stainless steel knives didn't come along until the 1920s.
Any actual Bowie from this era would have a far more dull surface sheen to it.
Joey Dunlop yes also because is ajax of the warriors .
Joey Dunlop absolutely ,she is awful
pediatrapaola Pamela Reed's character doesn't make any bones about it. she says right off that she's boned both of them.
pinz2022 l know l saw the movie many times and also very recently
cha5 stainless is not used for knives, it doesn't hold an edge.
Can't you at least let me finish my beer!
Glad I caught you in a good mood!
The knife fight is called the “Helena duel” originated in Helena, Karnes County Texas, formerly known as “ Six Shooter Junction.”
It didn't actually originate there the Apache, an several other tribes used it first as a insult settler an the white man copied it later
I Was Waitin For Dundee 🐊 To Walk In! 🔪
