Was watching the 1938 Robin Hood and when a particular bit of sword fight happened, I realized I'd seen it a thousand times before in Prince of Persia! Rad!
@rainwarrior Sir Guy played by Basil Rathbone MC Intelligence officer and two-time British Army Fencing Champion, the OG Sherlock, Shakespearean actor, LGBT activist, taught his co-star here how to fence and it shows. The Aussie larrikin on the right is Errol Flynn known for castrating sheep with his teeth and stealing the corpse of Drew Barrymore's grandfather from the morgue and taking it out drinking 'one last time'.
seriously amazing.
(Joke answer: Prince of Persia is so iconic that the choreographer traveled forward in time to copy the sequence from PoP to use it in the movie.)
#alt4you a short clip from the duel between Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham from the 1938 Robin Hood, top-to-bottom with the Prince of Persia vs Jaffar duel in the 1989 Prince of Persia PC edition, showing that the game animation was traced from the film.

Fan of both 
Maybe a comment from the author ?
@namip He had commented on the twitter version a few years ago: https://x.com/jmechner/status/1430591869663301646
@rainwarrior Mir fällt bei dem Bild direkt Defender of the Crown auf dem C64 ein. Aber ich glaube das basierte auf dem Film Ivenhoe - Der schwarze Ritter.
@noctecaelum Ah, yes! I remember the manual of Defender of the Crown did mention 1938 Robin Hood as inspiration. Ivanhoe is mentioned on the next page too.
