Anakin had already fallen to the lightning power of the Dark Side wielded by Dooku, but when he sees Dooku defeat his mentor and father figure, Obi-Wan Kenobi, he leaps up to the attack once again. Using the force to pick up Obi-wans lightsaber, as well as his own, he viciously attacks Dooku with both weapons, but Dooku easily parrys the attacks, before slicing into one of Anakins lightsabers, rendering it useless. Anakin cuts the lights, and the two begin circling in the dark, suddenly striking, and backing away. They repeat this pattern for a while, before Dooku uses the Force to shove Anakin backwards, catching him off guard, and slices through Anakins right arm, severing it at the elbow. This fight is extremely well choreographed, with some amazing lighting effects once Anakin has cut the lights. The two combatants are lit only by their lightsabers, showing up how dark this fight really is. The evil that Dooku is and the evil that Anakin will become are clearly evident. Dooku's slicing off of Anakin's arm is also a nice forshadowing of Anakin's fight, as Darth Vader, against his son Luke in Cloud City. This is a good one.
