Plot:
There's something inescapably appealing about this camp 1983 Star Wars-meets-The Lord of the Rings knockoff that encourages the viewer to overlook its many silly shortcomings and simpl...( read more

In the genre of 'Hawk the Slayer' and 'Willow', this brilliantly done 80s fairy tale romps n rolls through fantastic country landscape and awesome sets; a little campy at times but the story and its great production design makes up for it. *thumbs up*
Camp as hell but a rip-roaring yarn full of adventure, magic and colourful characters. The lovers and the main bad guy are the least convincing parts of the film but it's still enjoyable.
With the aid of a band of characters including a crusty apprentice sorcerer and a cyclops, a young prince must recover a mysterious weapon (the "glaive") to rescue his stolen bride from the Black Fortress. Blatant "Star Wars" ripoff, but decent nostalgia/kiddie entertainment. Watch for the white spider.
if you havent seen this movie you havent lived, tod carty(mark from eastenders) plays a blinder as a thief
Fun movie and a fave movie on mine in this genre.
Some of the effects are still really great to this day, lots of now well known faces like Liam Neeson, but back then they were all pretty much never heard off.
Lysette Anthony was only 17 when she did this movie??? My god she did not look 17, I was shocked when I found that out in the commentary on the dvd.
The real star of this movie is the soundtrack, it's an amazing score and lifts the movie from being good to being great.
(bad things) the glave is under used and the movie can drag a bit as every 2 mins a member of the party dies, infact this movie has so many actors in it, but they die 1 a min or so through the whole movie, so it gets a bit old and slows the movie down to a crawl at times. (ok, so it's not as bad as that but it sometimes can feels like it)
This put me in the mood for Flash Gordon and I watched this movie after watching Excalibur again, these 3 movies should sit beside each other on your dvd shelf.
Oh and yes that is Bernard Bresslaw (carry on movies) as the cyclops.
"In the fortress you will need more than men and swords. You will need the power of the glave.
