Dracula Vs Sun Tzu on Deadliest Warrior: Spoiler Alert
Using a variety of weapons for both warriors Spike Network's Deadliest Warrior pitted these 2 ancient warlords in a mock battle. Sun Tzu brought the chinese reapting crossbow, comp. bow with fire arrows, chinese broadsword, and a large iron pole with a claw like head on it. Vlad weilded a steel crossbow, Kilji scimitar, hand cannon, and the halberd. Using pig carcasses and ballastic gel torsos the carrnage of these weapons was truly depicted. My wife and watch this show religiously but this one truly was awesome. Besides they showed on a full ballastic manequin who Vlad got the name Impaler
Even a man who is pure of heart
And says his prayers by night
May become a wolf when the wolf-bane blooms
And the moon is full and bright

That is one of the things I don't like about the show: its completely ignores historical context.
Granted, the show is "Deadliest Warrior", not "Greatest Strategist", but what it mostly comes to is "What team cherry-picked the best arsenal".
When they had the IRA on the show, they actually had them include an ordinary sling shot in their arsenal; as compared to a bayonet (as used by the Taliban), and a ballistic-knife used by the Spetsnaz.
Sun Tzu was waging war about fifty-fourty years before the battle of Thermopylae; that's just under two thousand years before Vlad Tepes took the throne.
One would have hoped that weapon technology might have improved just a touch.
