Holy Crap, Deathstalker II... by James Westfall	Jan 12th, 2009 02:04:52 PM
I had forgotten how ultra-hot Monique Gabrielle was back in the 80's. DAMN.
This is bizarre... by TylerDurden3395	Jan 12th, 2009 02:18:22 PM
I just got done watching Yor like two minutes ago. I taped it off TCM Underground months ago and finally got around to watching it. It's one weird fucking movie. Goes from being a Conan rip-off to a Star Wars rip-off 3/4 of the way through. I hate the term "So bad it's good", but Yor falls into the category, "So bad you can't take your eyes off of it." Great theme song though.
Remake Sword and the Sorcerer by CobraKai	Jan 12th, 2009 02:21:10 PM
They remake every crappy 80s TV show..why not this wonderfully entertaining crappy 80s movie?
CobraKai by Toonol	Jan 12th, 2009 02:36:13 PM
There've been a ton of articles recently about the sequel to Sword and the Sorcerer. It's currently filming. (TALES OF AN ANCIENT EMPIRE.)
The New Beverly kicks ass by Cruel_Kingdom	Jan 12th, 2009 02:42:44 PM
I love that place. Once I was there for a screening of Bridge on the RIver Kwai b/w Guns of the Navarone, and I saw Erika Christensen there by herself. (How much hotter does that make Ms. Christensen that she would go to see a screening of Bridge on the River Kwai by herself?) In between the films there was a little intermission, and everyone moved into the packed little concessions area to stretch their legs. I was about a foot away from her--didn't say anything because I didn't want to bother her, lol--and it was funny because the crowd was so old that no one knew who she was so no one paid her any mind. It was awkward. She just stood there by herself almost like she wanted someone to speak to her. I also saw Clu Gulagher come in that same night. Both times I went to the New Beverly Mr. Gulagher was there. He snuck in about a third of the way through the film both times and sat in the front row both times. Cool fucking theater.
Holy shit by DocPazuzu	Jan 12th, 2009 03:02:03 PM
That's an AMAZING line-up. Conan's a bit out of place, though, seeing as it's actually a really good movie.
Yor Theme Song by TylerDurden3395	Jan 12th, 2009 03:09:29 PM
Sounds like Queen's Flash Gordon Theme if Freddy Mercury was like seven times gayer than he already was. That is to say, it fucking rocks.
Sword and the Sorcerer by flatulence_abounds	Jan 12th, 2009 03:21:46 PM
I have this on DVD. Good tongue in cheek fun...with boobs!
YOR'S STRONG by Klytus_I.m_Bored	Jan 12th, 2009 03:28:48 PM
Hands down the best fucking theme song EVER.
Yor addendum by Klytus_I.m_Bored	Jan 12th, 2009 03:30:19 PM
True story: my family had a videodisc player when I was a kid and we rented Yor and The Black Hole so often that when the local video store switched over to VHS and was selling off its videodiscs the proprietor just gave us the videodiscs of those two movies.
No More Yor! by sailingmaster	Jan 12th, 2009 03:59:19 PM
I remember sitting in the theater watching that when it was released. Never taken a Golan/Globus movie seriously since. Those guys' early films make the worst/campiest episodes of Herculoid or Xena look like classic Masterpiece Theater.
I think Destroyer would fit better with those others! by Mr Nicholas	Jan 12th, 2009 04:14:12 PM

deathstalker II is princess bride as made by mikey bay. by ironic_name	Jan 12th, 2009 05:59:54 PM

Best line of YOR.
What? No Beast Master? by Hikaru Ichijo	Jan 12th, 2009 06:56:51 PM
Looks like a lot of fun.
Anyone remember a film called "Hawk the Hunter"? by kevred	Jan 12th, 2009 09:47:38 PM
I may be getting the name wrong, but I think that's it. Saw it when I was a kid on the Showtime channel, and haven't heard or seen anything of it since. I remember it being a fairly low-budget sword & sorcery flick, and fairly grim, in the sense of most protagonists not making it to the end. I remember little more than that. Any obscure-fantasy-o-philes care to take a crack at it?
Oh, and the time period would probably be early 80s. by kevred	Jan 12th, 2009 09:48:29 PM
"When I was a kid" isn't too informative, I guess!
What? I'm the hunter from the future? by polyh3dron	Jan 12th, 2009 11:23:05 PM
No wai.
kevred -- Did you mean "Hawk the Slayer"? by Dingbatty	Jan 13th, 2009 12:01:30 AM

Losers! by laraz	Jan 13th, 2009 12:24:05 AM
Anyone who would go to this thing is a fucking loser! I mean I used to pick on Star Trek fans, but shit! This one takes the fucking cake! You guys make Star Trek geeks, look like Hip-Hop Gods! Or even better, you make them look cool! You guys make StarGate Nerds come across as slick! Dam! I mean really, could you guys of came up with something better to go see! Or have a film festivle for! Hell watching hours upon hours of Gay Porn would be more thrilling then having to see Conan again! Or any of these fucking throw-away movies you Losers have on this list! Here is a thought, go out in to the day light! Or here is another thought! Fuck Off & go suck on your mothers tit, because that is the only action you are ever going to get! Thanks for posting this lame ass dork festivale! You guys just made me realize how fucking awesome and cool i reallt am! So fuck off! Losers!!!!
Awesome spelling there, laraz. by Dingbatty	Jan 13th, 2009 03:19:44 AM
I can see why you bully children -- because you are the oldest and tallest student in the 8th grade.
Dingbatty by laraz	Jan 13th, 2009 04:50:59 AM
Hey fuck face! So what if I was off on my spelling a tad! It usually happens with anyone in here, that can type faster than it took you to come up with that remark! Go fuck your mother and father! Laraz, always has the last say! Go jerk off to Conan with all your other douchbag fuck wadS!
Conan does stick out a bit. by Lost Jarv	Jan 13th, 2009 04:53:04 AM
Should have been Hawk The Slayer (greatest elf ever). Deathstalker 2 isn't a patch on the original.
krull! by ironic_name	Jan 13th, 2009 05:49:08 AM
KRULL!
"Crom! Grant me my revenge! And if you don't..." by Prof_Ender	Jan 13th, 2009 08:34:25 AM
"...then TO HELL WITH YOU!!" Say this line out loud with the best Arnie voice you can muster. The chicks will love it. ^_^
We NEED Beastmaster! by Sith Witch	Jan 13th, 2009 08:43:09 AM
Best fantasy movie EVER!
Dingbatty - That's it! Thank you! by kevred	Jan 13th, 2009 01:01:09 PM
It looks like it's both stranger and worse than I remembered it, but then I haven't seen or heard of it since I was 9. One word off, and Google comes up empty! Catching up with this one will be fun, no matter how cheesy it might be--thanks for solving the riddle for me!
CobraKai does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Jan 13th, 2009 04:36:05 PM
This town aint big enough for both of us...
laraz, your senseless anger in life by Dingbatty	Jan 13th, 2009 05:06:58 PM
will probably end you up in jail. Don't drop the soap. Also -- the last word? Milquetoast insults are hardly getting the last word. Go get an education, first, and then come back and attempt to be clever.
kevred - welcome. Either I or someone else by Dingbatty	Jan 13th, 2009 05:09:01 PM
would've figured it out for you. Like all movies from your younger days, it's best to try to watch them from the perspective of the times and your age, then.
Who won? by Duke of Hurl	Jan 17th, 2009 01:57:20 PM

I guess laraz didn't get the last word. by Dingbatty	Feb 3rd, 2009 04:18:23 AM
