I've seen William Wallace vs Shaka Zulu and Maori warrior vs Shaolin Priest.

While the exotic weaponry is very interesting, especially the way they extensively demo them, the matchups tend to ignore tactics and strategy that maximize (or would counter) their effectiveness.

Shame that, the premise behind this show seems really good.
End result: Not "complete" demonstration of the matchup, which equals not much point in doing this at all really.

Well the coverage of the various weapons is reason alone to watch it imo. The Maoris shark tooth paddle thing for example. That is one mean man killer!

John McClane vs. The Death Star!

The admiral has hastily directed his men to apprehend the vigilante wreaking havoc upon his brand new battlestation. "We must capture this renegade before he causes any more trouble on the Death Star. Our first target, Earth, will be in range in 24 hours. He must be stopped by then. If we fail, the Emperor will come here and punish us personally."

Behind them they hear a set of blast doors open. The admiral and his legion of storm troopers turn and see a horrifying sight. There sits Darth Vader, slumped over dead in a chair. He is wearing a Santa hat, and something is written in blood on Darth Vader's black cape. As they unfurl it, the admiral reads the message:

"Ho Ho Ho. Now I have a light saber!"
