Swords of Love the Movie... What the...?

[Phoenix]

In my Ym mag a long time ago I saw an add for a movie called the Swords of Love. It has 2 fencers in the pic and the words: Teammates. Friends. Rivals. Lovers.
I was really excited. I even went to the website they gave (SWORDSOFLOVE.COM), but it says it is under construction.
Then I thought is was going to be a homo flix and was never going to see it. I never saw an add again or anything. Then I really thought it was a homo flix.
Does anyone know ANYTHING about the movie? Anyone even see the add. write back. thanks

Umm.. it was an ad for polaroid sticky film. It also was supposed to come out on November 31, which is what made me realize it was bogus (and it took a lot to convince some of my non-fencing friends of that fact).

[Phoenix]

wow, bogus? I saw the film ad but I didn't think it was bogus. strange

[TinaVy]

hey how did you see the movie i never saw it go into theaters? i wanna see it, it seems good could you tell me what it's about?

[lochinvar]

TinaVy, it's bogus. There is no movie. There never was.
Phoenix just said, "I saw the film AD[vertisement]", not, "I saw the FILM". (Italics and caps added.)

[TinaVy]

i don't think it's bogus cause all of the info given at the bottom and i still think that it would be a good movie.

All that crap at the bottom is easy to fake. Mostly because nobody reads it. My advisor at school has a fake movie poster of a film he "made" called "Pong: the Movie" reading close, the male lead is Masahara Morimoto.

i know! i saw that too, and mentioned it in one fo the posts, and was let down when it wasnt a movie. too bad, eh? that would be cool. a fencing movie. i could imagine disney doing something, since they have a movie for kids and young adults every month or so (my personal favorite was "motocrossed") but they do a lot of sports oriented movies. so who knows, maybe in the future.

Doesn't the premise sound a lot like the movie Love & Basketball?

[TinaVy]

it is a movie i believe and when i find i'll show you guys

[lochinvar]

We await your announcement with bated breath.

There IS a fencing (sport fencing) movie, but this "Sword of Love" isn't the it. I saw it at an independent movie rental place, but I can't remember the name. The description on the back sounded horrible, though.

I believe it was from one of the trailers for By the Sword. One trailer focuses its attention upon the main story between the son and the disciple of a NYC fencing master. The other in the parallel story of the two fencers who were teammates, friends, rivals and lovers.

see jec proves it thank you very much

didn't i read somewhere like one of the usfa newletters or something that disney had bought the rights to make a movie about peter westbrook?

On the contrary--he said it was a trailer for a different movie, NOT "Swords of Love".

Keep looking. I'll wait.

A iMDB search resulted in "Sword of Love" matched a 1965 Hong Kong movie, and "Sword of Many Loves" similarly is from 1992, also from Hong Kong.

[thyme_daniels]

i am telling you, it is NOT a movie, never WAS a movie, and never WILL be. it is just an ad.

[TinaVy]

it will be

[lochinvar]

TinaVy, the only way it will ever be a movie is if you get a video-cam, find someone to be your "Friend.Rival.Lover" and shoot it yourself.

If you ever decide to do that, let me know. I'd be interested for...uh...'technical' reasons. Yeah, that's it--'technical' reasons.
