I'm going to assume that this is a troll/joke review, because I saw the theatrical release of this film and there was never a swordfighting scene. Or if there ever was it's forever on a cutting room floor somewhere...

Not sword fighting, just sword handling and really good bluffing on Danielle's part. She steals le Peu's dagger, gets her hands on one of the swords he had her cleaning and bluffs until he gives up the key. OP, I can't see where that would have been cut, because otherwise the ending doesn't make SENSE.
The version I've seen has that same bluff and I'm not old enough to have watched this in a theater and remembered it. It has to have been a DVD one.
Say to the others who did not follow through You're still our brothers, and we will fight for you
Strange. That scene was in it whenever I watched the film on Sky Premiere in 2000. It’s a good film but it could have been better. It can never make up its mind whether it’s a drama or a comedy and ends up not being quite either. It’s one of those films where the trailer is better. But still some highly creative ideas in there and it’s very well acted.

Sword scene - Danielle's epic scene cut from video & dvd releases
I LOVED this movie in the theater! Danielle's kick-ass character REFUSED to remain a victim. My favorite scene was when she freed herself from the evil clutches of Pierre le Pieu - using her mad SWORD SKILLS! I was SO excited when this movie was released on video! I couldn't wait to watch it with my daughter! And we watched it.......only to discover it was a butchered version of an epic movie. The sword scene, and several other kick-ass Danielle scenes, were GONE, and all that remained was a watered-down version with a damsel in distress slant. I had hoped the blu-ray version would include the theatrical version of this epic fantasy, and the SWORD SCENE OF AWESOMENESS, but alas, it seems to have buried, lost, or wiped from existence.
