| high school lifgtsaber duel 2
I don't know if anyone has already posted a link (Ryan Vs. Dorkman 2 ) to this Youtube video yet. The first light saber fight was great. This one is much more involved and may not be suitable for youngsters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-is63goeBgc
check it out

| Not bad.
It suffers from some of the same defects that I thought the later star wars films suffered from - the duels were too long. This gives some of the moves a little predictability. I do like the occasional slap stick moments and they have a good eye for detail.
The best lightsabre fan film I've seen is one made by two oriental guys (they clearly understood good editing and martial arts). | |

Our colloquialisms appear to be different to yours. I'll ask my chinese buddy next time I see him. | |

| OK...back to the POINT of the post...
I haven't laughed so hard in weeks! When Ryan and Dorkman are fighting with the "force," one trying to get his lightsaber back and the other trying to keep it away...what the lightsaber ends up doing...if you haven't seen it, you have to! I'm promising you that you will laugh. | |
