The album's main liability is that it's consistent to a fault. | | | Bouncing back from the deplorably mediocre Beneath the Surface, GZA reasserts his position at the head of the Wu-Tang corpus. |

| | The Great Sword - Chapter 3 |
| | It seemed to work because the warriors skidded to a stop, their swords flashing from their scabbards as they went into a fighting crouch, backs together and scanning for all dangers. | | | With a cry of "You great lout!" Helena jumped into the attack, eyes flashing, her breast visible to all, much to Torr's amusement. | | | The guardsman was a trifle overconfident and his sword thrust went wide as Vasiliev twisted more to his right, now he was running directly for the door and before anyone could stop him he vanished into its murky depths. |

| | Epitome Ezine |
| | Likewise, the monumental quality and imposing form inherent in the "Death Dealer" drew viewers to pick up volumes of American Artist and Flashing Swords, both of which featured Frazetta's masterpiece. | | | The bronze equestrian statue by Donatello of Erasmo da Narni, and Andrea del Verocchio's statue of Bartolommeo Colleoni, are brought to mind in the fearsome, statuesque form of Frank Frazetta's "Death Dealer." The first large-scale bronze work since antiquity, Donatello's statue of the Venetian general must've been an imposing sight to the people of Padua. | | | The solid handling of paint and the stillness of the scene evoke power and nobility in the same way that statues of Marcus Aurelius in 180 AD and Erasmo da Narni in 1440 AD would've struck awe and respect into the general public as they walked past. |

| | Imam Hussain(A.S.) |
| | In battle stalwart soldiers staked their lives, And evil frowned upon the earth beneath; Their thunderous shields, their lightning-flashing knives Were drawn against the horse that gnashed its teeth. | | | With swords bound to their waists, on battle bent, The sons of Zainab came before the tent. | | | The flaming sword was wrenched out of its cover, As moonbeams fly, as perfume leaves the rose, As a comely maiden taken from her lover, As breath departs the breast, as red blood flows. |

| | The two swords are weaker than the Silver Sword, so equipping them on a Fighter or Red Mage would be a bad idea but the Rune Sword could be a good choice for the Thief, which would be far better than the Falchon or Scimitar you may have him equipped with. | | | By doing so on the world map, it opens up a map of the entire world, showing your current location and all the towns and other places you can enter are shown by flashing dots. | | | Now head back to Coneria and go underneath the bridge with your ship, and dock at the dock which you saw earlier on your way to Motoya's Cave. |

| | Take 2 Reviews - Review - Yojimbo |
| | Again, the movie is more about the samurai way of life, not killing other people and flashing swords, something modern audiences experienced in Kill Bill vol. | | | This is a great movie, giving you a glimpse into the time period and showing the "reality" of the samurai life, much in the same way Unforgiven and Open Range are supposed to be more realistic westerns. | | | The movie is about 2 hours long, and if you are looking for a good samurai fight, you have to wait till the end. |

| | Deep Secret |
| | Few authors would risk the large-scale set-piece involving sinister ensemble magic, flashing swords, rampant manifestations of a horrid Goddess, and Imperial beam weaponry -- all in a crowded convention hall where the Guest of Honour is struggling to deliver his speech. | | | A theory which frequently emerges in critical discussion of Diana Wynne Jones's fantasies is that, on the whole, she probably does it all by witchcraft. | | | But Diana Wynne Jones not only carries all this off splendidly, but successfully shifts gears into high fantasy for a quest that begins in a besieged hotel bedroom and leads to remote, perilous realms. |

| | A moment later swords were flashing, and it might have gone ill with Tristrem had not Rohand with his men come up in the nick of time. | | | And when they came to the sword that the hand held, King Arthur took it up by the handles, and took it with him, and the arm and the hand went under the water; and so came to the land and rode forth. | | | Arthur marvelled at the impulse which had prompted Efflam to seek retirement, and was about to express his surprise when the youth startled him by telling him that as his vessel had approached the shore he and his men had caught sight of the dragon entering his cave. |

| | Amazon.ca: Music: Legend Of The Liquid Sword [Explicit Lyrics] |
| | A near flawless album, I would rate this 2nd best out of GZA's albums, under the original "liquid swords." The production is excellent and like someone said in another review, you can listen to this album all the way through without skipping tracks, each song is a masterpiece. | | | The self-proclaimed "ill rhyme kicker / with no parental sticker" rolls with almost nonstop braggadocio on the album, flashing his virtuosity with metaphorically inspired songs like "Fame" and "Animal Planet" and wordplay parties such as "Knock, Knock" and "Sparring Minds." The album's main liability is that it's consistent to a fault. | | | The GZA is one of, if not the best lyrycist in hip hop, and this album is a testament to his incredible skills. |

| | Kill Bill, Volume 1 was a live wire of violence with flashing samurai swords, geysers of blood and a surprising shortage of Tarantino's funny-tough dialogue. | | | More importantly, Tarantino dropped the annoyingly arch dialogue of Volume 1 and wrote a movie as thrilling to hear as Volume 1 was to watch. | | | Even when the movie dragged, its energy was fascinating. |
