What is this movie?

In civics we’re studying the flag code, and we learned about how the finial (the ball or spike on top of a flagpole) is used to keep birds off of the pole. However, I do believe watching a movie where a man was stabbed with the finial of a flag. I don’t think it was “The Patriot”, even though Mel did hit a guy with it. Can you help me think of the name?

Mel Gibson did that in episode 1101 of The Simpsons. But that may have been a reference to a movie…

I do believe it was the Patriot. I can’t think of any other movie it could be.

Oh wait, he did it in What Women Want.

Mel stabs someone in “What Women Want”? I thought that was a comedy?

If I’d had a finial while I was watching “What Women Want”, I’d have stabbed MYSELF.

Tom Cruise fought with a flag pole during the Last Samurai

In The Boneyard (1970, i think) “the killer uses the sharp end of a flagpole to impale a student on the trampoline.”

And then there’s the memorable steampipe incident from Commando

i think you’re right fireside, cruise fought using a flag with a white tiger on it.
