    Okay, I'm going with...

    - Invincible (A Man Called Hero). I'm picking Invincible over Hero Hua because he demonstrated some absolutely ridiculous area attacks, and that will be handy to wipe out the fodder (the Spartans).
    - Striding Cloud (Stormriders). Going with him because of area attacks AND ridiculous power AND ridiculous speed.
    - Huek-woon (Arahan). Because why not, he's not on the same level as Invincible and somewhat below Cloud, but still waaaaay above everyone else here (except maybe Hercules? I don't know, didn't see that one), and I like a good stomp.

    Everyone not on their team is now dead (unless Hercules has some absolutely stellar feats of which I am unaware), and rather quickly. Not as quickly as if I brought in someone from Stormriders: The TV series riding on a death-ray shooting giant manta ray (<-- yes, you read this correctly), but much more fun.

    Probably not, to be fair.

    It’s been about 35-40 years since I last watched it, but does Hawk the Slayer have any worthwhile feats?

    And Rain from the Three Storms (Big Trouble in Little China) uses a sword.

    Somewhat surprised nobody has mentioned Geralt of Rivia. Not that he can take this group alone, but he'd make a great addition to any team that can't already utterly curbstomp the 'army'. ^_^

    I think Snake Eyes would be a good addition to the team. Not many other sword users are going to show up with automatic weapons. It could certainly help thin down the 300 Spartans.

    Also, Ash from Army of Darkness. He used a sword in that movie. He also comes with a chainsaw, shotgun, and he weaponized his car.

    You said sword users. You never said the sword was the ONLY thing they got to use.

    Nice.

    Yeah, that's the direction I went, though I went for 'Qi users' for giggles.

    Um....Does a lightsaber count as a sword for this purpose? Vader wants to know...

    Red Ranger (Mighty Morphing Power Rangers) counts, right? We can bring Zords into this battle as well.

    It says specifically films, not TV series.

    Otherwise I could have grabbed one of the sword-wielding Ultraman characters.

    Oooo, valid point, thanks. So Whispering Wind and his Giant Manta Ray of Artillery Strikes™ is out for this.

    Pity.

    Scorpion King just from the 2002 movie or can we use he's other showings from the other movies?

    Ugh I have to use Live Action movies??

    Well I'm pretty sure at some point the titular Sun Wukong from the Monkey King series picked up and waved a sword around, even if he mostly used a staff.

    I'll have to look around for other skilled swordsmen.
    The MunchKING is Back! And he is AWSOME!
