Fights of Nations
Filmed Jan. 17, 19, and 23-24, 1906, in the Biograph New York City studio. Scene 3 of 6 'Hoot mon!' A Scottish Combat" opens with the end of a duel between two uniformed men in kilts as one falls to the ground wounded. A third kilted man enters and sees the fallen man, and in turn fights with the victor with swords and shields. The third man ultimately disarms his opponent and stands victorious with his foot upon the man's chest. From Biograph bulletin no. 94: Our latest production, under six titles, represents various types and nationalities, with tragedy and comedy intermingled. Every scene is beautifully staged, and each nationality well represented. Then follows "A Scottish Combat." A broadsword engagement between two of America's leading actors in Scotch costumes showing how quick and accurate these deadly weapons can be handled.
