Gerard Butler vs. the Uber-Immortal ("300")

Carlito: I've been nearly decapitated a few times. My opponents have definitely tried. The Uber-Immortal reminds me of a bigger wrestler — guys who are kinda dumb but tough to beat up. They're pretty much a walking wall, a walking tank. But, as we see here, if you keep trying, they'll eventually come down.

Faber: When Gerard Butler throws down with the Uber-Immortal, his moves are impressive. But he might have wanted to trade his sword in for a baseball bat. I'm not too great with a sword, but I can swing a bat. The decapitation's a good idea, because you should always go for the neck. The jugular? That's a good spot. A lot of my fights have ended in chokes.

Gerard Butler: You'd better not learn too much from my fight, unless you want to go to prison for decapitating somebody! If you do see some person, or something, that is twice the size of you, just run. It's always better to get the hell out of the way than to take on that fight. ... I had to do it because I was getting paid. I had to kill that guy. But in real life, if I had seen a guy that size? I'm outta there.
