I have seen numerous interviews with the actors and director and they all said they did all their own sword fighting. There were lots of cuts and scrapes and sprains on the set.
Evidently the King's "musketeers" are incapable of properly wielding the weapon their name would imply proficiency with. At least one of them appears to have forgotten to replace his scouring stick and shot it into the stone wall. (Kudos to this movie for having both the correct type of muzzle loading firearm for the period and illustrating the finer points of its operation that are completely lost on far too many screenwriters.)
No pun intended, but Porthos wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer for this rescue operation. I love the way Rochefort makes sure to dust off his hat before he makes his escape.
Porthos wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer in the books either. However, he was very tall, broad and strong, capable of bending iron bars with his bare hands, or knocking men around like they were ragdolls. That's something most movies don't show.

"Perhaps I can close one eye", and "Why bother, I may die of old age". Best quotes
Great film!
"Perhaps I could, close one eye"
This film has so many great lines
Best lines:
" Perhaps I can close one eye. "
" Why bother? I may die of old age. "
I've been looking for this scene (and Christopher Lee's lines) on TH-cam for such a long time, and it's been here since 2009! I feel like a boob.
Christopher Lee
Oliver Reed
Frank Finlay

It's True, they were all Taught by William Hobbs, who also arranged the Sword fights.
@@ChaoticNarrative Except for Christopher Lee who was a master swordsman.
Oliver Reed took a sword *thru* the wrist btw.
oliver reed's neck wound was real. Nearly killed him.
"I may die of old age."
Oh snap!
One of the best movies ever.

Those aren't "King's Musketeers." They are protestant rebels.
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! LOL.....
Great little performance from Bob Todd
Creo que esta es la versión más divertida y entretenida sobre Los Cuatro Mosqueteros...

So why did they save him?
They were under orders.
