Ok, I have a weakness for samurai movies. This is a clip from The Twilight Samurai (Tasogare Seibei).
Seibei has accepted a challenge to a duel on behalf of a lesser
skilled friend. His opponent is an abusive samurai of a higher
social status who is known for his ability with the sword. Ever polite
and self-effacing, Seibei apologizes for being late, but refuses to
apologize for the incident that led to the duel.
Watch how well Seibei uses distance to his advantage.

Great fight. And nice use of technique in a martial arts battle - cant tell you how much it annoys me when I watch a martial arts movie and see everybody throwing haymakers. >=(
I don't really care for the high wire stuff either.
I agree. Very few high wire MA flicks are watchable for me. I like my fighting realistic, and well researched and performed.
