I really like how they put some effort to show medieval sword fighting in a at least semi-realistic way. Whacking someone in a full plate armor with a sword really won't hurt him and we see this so often in Hollywood movies. Instead you aim for the soft spots (armpit, neck, holes in the helmet) and they depicted it pretty well :)

i hadn't thought about it in that capacity but i agree with you... totally true.
And this is how actual sword fighting looked like. No plate armor but also no whacking ;)
I didn't realize that Jack Black actually knew how to use a sword :P I'm impressed
