Why do movies and tv shows show beheading or allude to it in one fell swipe? Unless it is comic book sharp there is no way you can do that in one swipe with out at least a little bit of more cutting.

  I don’t want to spoil your innocence, but you are incorrect and there is plenty of video proof out there.

    Why I would like to see one that does it in one slash. Prolly going to take your word for it.

      With a heavy enough axe it’s most definitely possible.

  Nah, decapitation can absolutely be done in a single strike. It just takes the right angle and swing. Like someone else said, there’s been footage of it made. It doesn’t even take anything fancy; I saw a video of a machete doing it back in the wilder days of the internet.

  Anne Boleyn was decapitated in one stroke by a sword according to eyewitnesses.

  You’ve not really seen what a very sharp and prepared piece of metal can do to someone, have you?

  I watched a documentary about Samurai swords. They are rated by how many bodies they can cut through with one motion so a beheading is no issue.

  Given how beheading videos used to be internet bread and butter, I’m sure most people over the age of 30 know exactly how much effort it takes.
