THE PIRATE MOVIE (1982) [I got a few details wrong, but that's it]

Alright, the candle swipe gag, like in Mark of Zorro or The Court Jester. This was in the 1980s, possibly early 1990s, in color (filmed in color, not colorized), a swashbuckling type movie or show, sort of similar to The Princess Bride I guess, I'm not sure if it was pre or post flintlock pistols and rifles, and there's a scene that takes place in a castle where the antagonist and the hero are about to duel, the antagonist first swipes at a candelabra, but the candles remain motionless. The hero says something like "HA! You missed!" or w/e, the antagonist blows on the candles and they fall over. It's been done, right? Well, here's where the twist comes in. They clash swords (I wanna say rapiers) for a bit, and then there's a lull as they stand about 10' away from each other, swords pointed in defense and anticipation, with another candelabra in the foreground. The hero notices, and so he swipes at it, nothing happens, and then he tries blowing on them, but they still don't move. He blows much harder a second time, and they remain motionless. Frustrated, the hero continues the duel. I'm not sure what happens next, I think the duel ends without a clear victor in someway, I think some other conversation scenes happen elsewhere, maybe some more in the castle. Later, it's the evening, and I think it's the woman lead, a princess or something possibly, she's either already at the still intact candelabra in thought or praying, or maybe she just slowly walks over to them, possibly with a lit candle in her hand. It's dark, and I think she's preparing for the night, so she goes to blow out the candles and they all fall over comedically.

Please, what the hell movie is this? Or show? I'd really appreciate this.

It never bothers me too much because I rarely play with either, but surely someone has created a mod that makes bows and spears righty, yeah? Clearly the devs never handled a bow or spear irl, but the vast majority of players must have done so with toys as children. Maybe I'm just typing in the wrong keywords, but I can't find any mod that fixes this obvious and glaring issue. It has to exist. How can it not exist? It seems like such a basic fix that should've even been an early official game patch.

EDIT: playing OpenMW 0.51.0, sorry for the confusion

I can't be the only one who enjoyed feeling like a high fantasy Spider-Man, easily jumping to the tops of 2-story structures and up into tree branches, watching the daedra below run around like toddlers after a shot of espresso because their pathfinding doesn't know what to do.

Please tell me others miss the mega jumping. Is there any kind of mod to return acrobatics to how the skill used to work? I've been just modding my acro from 100 to 130-140 to get the same feel I had when playing the game every single time before starting it up with 0.51 (I think my previous version was 0.46, but I can't remember).
