Released at the height of the swashbuckling fantasy craze of the 1980s, the Sword and the Sorcerer was a box office success despite its poor critical reception, launching the career of B-movie icon Albert Pyun. Criminally underseen compared to some of its contemporaries, this epic adventure has all the bloody battles, valiant warriors, fair maidens and savage sorcerers to more than justify its place among the fantasy classics of the decade.

Meet Talon, a daring mercenary who conquers castles and dungeons alike with his lethal three-bladed sword. But when Talon learns that he is the prince of a kingdom controlled by an evil sorcerer, he is thrust into the wildest fight of his life. Can Talon rescue the beautiful princess and slay the warlock, or will he fall prey to the black magic of medieval mayhem? Lee Horsley (Matt Houston, The Hateful Eight), Kathleen Beller (Dynasty), Simon MacCorkindale (Jaws 3-D) and Richard Moll (House) star in this action-packed adventure saga, filled with brutal battles, plucky maidens, savage monsters and more!

KAUFT DIESEN FILM NICHT!

Written on 12. November 2001 by Urs.

This customer review refers to a alternative version.

Ich habe mir diesen Film gekauft aufgrund einiger positiven Texte. Als ich ihn dann hatte und sogar auf der Hülle stand (ich zitiere wörtlich): "In many ways better than Conan the Barbarian and Exkalibur ~The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film", konnte ich es kaum noch erwarten. Und was mich dann erwartete war der pure horror für jeden Fantasy-Film Liebhaber! Dieser Film hat keine Story, die Spezialeffekte sind mies so im stiel von "was aufwendig werden könnte zeigen wir lieber nicht" und die Filmqualität gleicht einem 60er Heimatfilm-Streifen und die Schauspieler sind absolut lächerlich! Bitte leute, wer Filme wie Conan mag, dann schaut euch diesen Film nicht an! Er ist ein Wurm im vergleich zu Conan und all den anderen!

(gibts hier keine Bewertung die schlimmer ist als "gefällt mir nicht"?!)
zimlich horrormesig
