Movie Replica Swords

There are many movie replica swords that any sword, and movie, lover should have in their collection. Many iconic swords come to mind when you think about it. Possibly the most famous movies replica swords that collectors are looking for are from the Lord of the Ring’s trilogy. What makes these swords special is that many of them were made with the actual moulds used in making the props for the movies.

Probably the most popular movie replica sword from the movie is the sword of the Kings of Gondor. This sword is seen in the beginning of the first movie, cutting “the ring” from Sauron’s finger. This is the broken sword that is welded back together, becoming Anduril, by Aragorn in the third film’s battle scene. The movie replica swords of both versions are available to purchase, although they may set you back a few hundred dollars apiece.

Other movie replica swords include Excalibur and the sword of Zelda. Most of us don’t think of movie replica swords when thinking of historic King Arthur and Excalibur, but you must remember that there have been many movies based on the two. The most recent movie is King Arthur, which was released in the US in mid 2004. Excalibur is the mythical sword of King Arthur, sometimes said to possess magical powers and is associated to him being the rightful heir of the throne.

Along with Lord of the Ring’s and Excalibur, the 300 movie replica swords are very sought after. The movie 300 is the popular computer animated story about the Battle of Thermopylae.  In the movie, 300 Spartans, led by King Leonidas, fought the Persians in order to convince the Greeks to fight for independence. For as little as $69 you can have your very own piece of movie history with movie replica swords from 300.

Finally if you are a game lover then you already know of the Legend of Zelda game. If not, consider checking this awesome game out. Everyone who loves this game has been waiting for the movie. There are even petitions all over the internet trying to get it in production. There are rumors, however, that productions has already been started in Australia. You are able to find replica Zelda swords and accessories from the games but wouldn’t it be great if you could find the movie replica swords for sale? Don’t get your hopes up just yet because it seems that there is plenty of time until these swords will be on the market for you to add to your collection.

Collecting action figures and memorabilia from a movie isn’t just for kids and nerds anymore, but for everyone. If you took the time to look into how wonderfully crafted and beautiful many of these swords are you will be amazed. You may even ask yourself why you haven’t started your own collection of movie replica swords yet.

Tips For Choosing a Medieval Sword

Medieval swords are amazing because they are so true to life. Past kings and knights wore and used their swords and weaponry with pride. A man’s sword was often his livelihood and set him apart from his peers.

Luckily for us, swords from medieval times are still on display all over the world. They inspire modern artists today to create beautiful lasting weapons while respecting the past.

You can find medieval swords that are modeled after weapons of years gone by. Or find new swords styled after past models. Selecting a sword that meets your needs will be simple if you use our tips for choosing a medieval sword.

We’ll give you some information about medieval swords that will help you select the best one for you.

Popular Medieval Sword Styles:

In order to select the sword that is just right for you, you should become familiar with popular medieval sword styles. One of the most popular sword style is the replica.

A replica sword is one that is fashioned after a sword from the past. Many times the original sword has been lost to the world. But using a combination of historical fact and creative license, sword artists will recreate a famous sword.

Past examples are the highly creative and exquisite sword Excalibur attributed to the legendary King Arthur. The sword of the Knights Templar who supposedly protected the Holy Grail is now a replica sword. And the sword of the Scottish hero William Wallace has been remade by artists.

In some cases, like the Knights Templar for example, modern artists are able to create great replicas from surviving swords. Recently Templar swords even feature the mark of the Templars which was hidden for centuries. Choosing a popular Medieval sword style is an easy choice for sword lovers.

General Medieval Sword Styles:

While not based on a particular character, there are historically based Medieval swords. You can choose the Viking sword that features a broad flat blade and wide handle. Popular Viking swords are based on 8th and 9th century replicas of Viking weaponry.

Another popular general choice is a two handed Scottish Claymore. This sword is heavier than most averaging about 7 to 8 pounds. It’s meant to be used for heavy duty sword play. A simple Crusader sword is a good weapon to include in your collection. There are dozens more to choose from so look around before making your selection. The designs and styles of Medieval swords are endless.

Two Basic Types of Medieval Swords:

There are two basic types of Medieval swords available. First is the prop sword. This sword is for show only. You can wear it with your other Medieval gear but don’t challenge anyone to hand to hand combat.

While the blade is still well made it isn’t meant to endure the blow of another sword. The prop sword is one you’ll often see in a display case or on a display stand. It’s usually highly ornate with exceptional handle and blade work.

It may also have an equally intricate scabbard that can be worn around a belt or hung for display too. Then there are battle ready swords available to use at a Renaissance Fair or mock battles.

Seeing is Believing…right?

The thing about magic tricks, is that magicians can perform amazing things like decapitating limbs and it looks so real, if you didn’t know better, you would think it was so. Pulling objects out of thin air and making things disappear, no matter how simple, appears genuine to the viewer.

“The Illusionist” is one of the more recent movies in my well of infinitely wise movies. The movie centers on Eduard Abramovich, the son of a peasant cabinetmaker in Austria-Hungary. As a young boy, Eduard befriends Sophie, the Duchess von Teschen, whose parents have hired Mr. Abramovich as a cabinetmaker. As a teenager, Eduard meets a traveling magician along a road. The magician performs several tricks for him and then, according to various accounts, both the magician and the tree he was sitting under vanish. Eduard becomes obsessed with magic tricks after this and decides to travel the world.

Because they are forbidden to see each other, Eduard and Sophie meet in a secret hideout in the forest. Eduard gives Sophie a unique puzzle locket which, if twisted correctly will open to reveal the picture within. Eduard tells Sophie of his plans to go to China to learn more magic and Sophie promises to go with him. On the day that they are going to leave, however, the police come looking for Sophie. The two hide in the secret room and Sophie begs him to make them both disappear. Of course, he cannot do it and they are separated.

Eduard leaves his village to travel the world and perfect his magic. He arrives in Vienna 15 years later as Eisenheim the Illusionist (Edward Norton). In his first performance, Eisenheim talks of life by using his tricks. He manages to slow the speed of an orange while he is throwing it from one palm to another and to grow an orange tree in mere seconds. He meets Sophie (Jessica Biel) at his performance when she is volunteered by the Crown Prince as a reluctant participant in a trick. The trick involves Sophie standing before a mirror in a hooded cloak. Behind her mirrored reflection, appears a duplicate of her which beheads her reflection. A cloud of white (which represents a soul) comes floating up from the dead reflection and out of the mirror and Sophie silently faints.

The Crown Prince Leopold invites Eisenheim to perform before the greatest minds in Vienna at a private viewing. Using the Crown Prince’s sword, he manifests the story of the sword Excalibur. Men from the audience come up and try to lift the sword but none can do it because as the story goes, only the rightful king can raise the sword and so, only with a slight tug, can Leopold himself claim the sword. Eisenheim learns that Sophie is going to marry the Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell). Sophie soon recognizes Eisenheim and they meet privately and make love.

After his humiliation of the Crown Prince during their private show, Eisenheim’s show is shut out of Vienna. He and Sophie plan to flee the Empire together; but first Sophie reveals that Leopold is planning a coup d’etat to overthrow his Father, Franz Joseph I of Austria, while his engagement to her will win him the Hungarian half of the Empire. Eisenheim devises a way to free the Duchess von Teschen from her engagement and prevent the overthrowing of Franz Joseph I by creating new illusions at every turn.

Eisenheim buys a theatre and performs a new type of show by summoning spirits. Like the theme of this article, seeing is believing, the audience believes that Eisenheim is summoning real spirits.

I don’t want to ruin the movie for you any further if you are going to see it, but suffice it to say that in the end, Eduard Abramovich/Eisenheim the Illusionist does manage to make himself and the love of his life, the Duchess von Teschen, disappear.

Of course Eisenheim states frequently to all the viewers of his majestic shows that everything is an illusion, but it makes you think, doesn’t it? What you see is a tree growing before your eyes, but is that what is really happening? What you see is a handkerchief being thrown in the air and becoming a raven, but is that what is really happening?
