* InterestingSituationDuel: The final duel between D'Artagnan and Febre takes place in a warehouse stacked to the ceiling with shelves of big wine barrels. There are also lots of ladders, with the two fighters leaping from one to another, walking them across the floor, swinging through space clinging to them, and finally, incredibly, balancing one on a center beam and using it as a seesaw for their final showdown.
