Netflix’s The Witcher fight scene clip

Netflix’s The Witcher is only two weeks away. A short video has been posted on Twitter, featuring a fight scene from Queen’s Calanthe dinner party, if I am not mistaken. Calanthe is the queen of Cintra and Ciri’s grandmother.

In the clip you can see the famous witcher Geralt and Duny, also known as the Urcheon of Erlenwald, cutting down some poor guards. Fans of the game will probably know him as Emhyr var Emreis, the Emperor of the Nilfgaardian Empire.

According to a Twitter user, the gore and more explicit effects were cut, in order to keep it PG for marketing purposes. Which explains why there are so many cuts. I really don’t like cuts in fight scenes, especially after the glorious John Wick movies.

Several people who watched the screeners, had only good things to say about the upcoming TV show. You can read a collection of them here.

  1. What kind of lens is required to get a distorted depth of field effect like seen in the promo material?

  2. The SJWitcher strikes again. I’m just grateful these hacks can’t ruin the games, though they will coast on their sucess

  3. I’m really looking forward to this it’s looking much better than I expected. HC has clearly put in a lot of training to get the sword play just right.

    No doubt you lot will just do the usual bashing of it.

  4. So, you think you can do better? please by all means, show us. get the funding and support of Hollywood to make your own show and prove us all wrong.

      1. No, ur comment is utterly moronic. I’m calling you out for being an a*s. Do better if you can, of not then STFU.

  5. Well, I hope Cavill does well and all that.

    But the fight scene looks fairly generic.

    A great example of a sword fight is the (the bad guy’s hang out/bar scene) The Book of Eli (Denzel Washington), now that’s how you do it without being run of the mill.

    1. Technically it wasn’t a ‘sword fight’, but yes I get what you mean, it was a great fight. Also the tunnel fight scene in the beginning was bloody awesome as well. “KISS HIM” ?

    2. That bar scene was far from great fight imho. It was clearly staged (too much), opponents coming at the hero mostly one after another, some of them doesnt attack properly. Not very good nor exciting fight.

      But I agree that the scene from Witcher is not very good (as well). Its not bad, but not very good either.

      1. For me it’s hard to like the choreography with swords, light sabers, etc. Since Star Wars, and though all the years and Highlander movies, etc – the type of fighting just doesnt resonate or look all that cool.

        That said, I’m sure they will pepper the movie with some unusually interesting fight moments (hopefully).

  6. TERRIBLE!
    Am I blind or there is absolutely no blood?! And almost clearly looks like the sword is not even touching the foes…WTF?! Is this rated PG?!
    Witcher should’ve been an HBO show…in that case it would’ve been dark and gory!
