I love Shad. Double bladed lightsaber actually gains some advantages over the double bladed sword in that there is no edge alignment to worry about, which is nice when striking/spinning, and retractable blades mean carrying around just the hilt is much less cumbersome than carrying around a 6+ foot long double bladed sword. Would something like a naginata or pike be better? Or even a spear with a small secondary spearhead like a Spartan Dory? Yeah, for sure. But that in no way means this weapon is useless. Not that you were saying it is, of course.

So I watched this movie in the theater when it first came out and I loved it. It seems like no one i know has ever seen it. Subtitles turn some people off i guess? It's a French made movie and has not been available to steam here in the U.S. Until last week that is! Some great fight scenes in this movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you should look it up and give it a watch.

Because it is a take on the Best of Gevaudan, and I LOVE this story. (Even though I don't really like their explanation, it does follow one of the most believable ones). I also like Mark Dacascos and the fight scenes where interesting. Points for knowing about that movie =D which was a big hit when it came out in theaters in France =D SPOILER!!!! below. Why they felt the need to include Ivy's weapon from Sould Calibur is beyond me but oh well.

That is the only part of the movie I didn't like. The bone whip sword was pretty bad. It didn't ruin the rest of the movie for me though. The English dub is horrible. French language with subtitles is the way to watch it. Ivy from soul calibur, that brings back some memories. I haven't played those games in awhile. Point to you for the reference. I might have to go play some Yoda vs Starkiller now...

I thought those characters were exclusive to their platform? Link for the GC or wii, vader for PS, yoda for xbox? I do watch 99% of my tv shows and movies in their original language. Glad I'm not the only one =D Le Pacte des Loups is an easy one for me since French is my native language =D

This just made me wonder "how is The Princess Bride not one of the first movies to come to mind when asked about my top 10" - because it is certainly quoted by me many times per year.

I don't remember this film coming out in the states at the theater but I have it on DVD and I too watch it in French with subtitles. I have hearing issues so I'm used to reading while I watch. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the current theory on what was terrorizing Gevaudan was an extinct species of Hyena that might have gotten loose from the Kings menagerie.

There is quite a lot of debate about the kind of animal it could have been. Ranging from lion to hyena, but mainly an african predator. That could have been domesticated. Since some of the kills were really really daring for a wild animal. Especially in an "odd" weather for them. The idea was that the beast was used to get money from the king and local officials. Another likely theory is that a serial killer used what was going on (wild animal or controled animal) to camouflage his own kills.

I have heard that one to...I believe in the story of the Shepherdess that stabbed The Beast with a spear two things stand out. For one apparently the beast grabbed the place where she stabbed it (animals don't tend to do that) and secondly the Sheep rushed him. Sheep will rush a human but let a predator come in and the haul ass....at least IME. I wonder if its both in a way. That this beast got loose and the killer took advantage of the carnage. Just one of those awesome old happenings that will never get solved

That's what I liked about this story. That and all the "it's a damn werewolf" nonsense. I love werewolves x) But yeah. We won't know for sure.
