I am trying to find the title of a '90s action movie. The movie is about an olympic fencer who accidently killed his opponent during a match. The man ends up involved with some secret underground swordfighting organization after being blackmailed (or something like that). One humorous scene included a role player, claiming to be a 14th level barbarian, who tries to get into the swordfighting group (the results wern't very good for him). I have tried to find the title from searching but have had no luck.

Sounds like Ring of Steel with Bob Chapin. I met him a few times when I used to fence at Westside Fencing Center. He did the internet series "The Hunted" and some of the action was filmed in and around the Helms Bakery Building.

Thats the one! Thanks!
I see why I couldn't find it on searches at the IMBD site, it has no plot summary listed.
I have been looking for that title for quite some time now.

At first I thought you may have been talking about "By The Sword," http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101524/ another 90's "action" (more drama, I guess) about a fencer who accidentally kills his opponent and then later ends up working as a janitor in the fencing school owned by the son of the man he killed. I think that's it, anyway. I remember the movie being good when I was younger, but I haven't had a chance to see it in a while.

"Ring of Steel" is new to me, though. Glad you become reacquainted with an old film! Funny when that happens like that.

I saw By the Sword while I was searching ( I put it on my list of movies to get), along with another that look pretty good "The Blade of Doom", a Japanese 1960s Samurai movie. It is amazing what you can find while doing online searches. I also found a short essay on fencing deaths here: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/53989 Highlander seemed to be the most popular result during my searches.
Any other good sword movies while we are talking about it?
I guess I will have to add to my movie collection now.

A friend of mine just happened to have a copy of The sword of Doom, so I borrowed it yesterday. hopefully I will have a few minutes to watch it now.
