This kind of reminds me of a part in the movie Aladdin. Apu and Aladdin are being chased by the palace guards and Apu grabs a sword from a street preformer and turns around and waves it at the guards. The guards go, "He's got a sword!" and they cower together. The chief of the guards says "You fools, we've all got swords!" Yep, that's what it reminds me of.
