If you want good sword-(and spear, and...)-fighting look to Yimou
Zhang, the director of both House of Flying Daggers and Hero:

For a strange and compelling amalgamation of Kung Fu, Gangster,
Western, and Chuck Jones-ish animation, look to Kung Fu Hustle:

Cool! I haven't seen that -- I'll keep it in mind.... The highly choreographed swordfights in

I can't remember sources.... "The Man in the Iron Mask," maybe? "The Fifth Musketeer"?
Both recent Zoro flicks provided good action.... ~B
