Sword and sandal / sword and sorcery movies appreciation[views:19848][posts:94]____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:35pm - trioxin245 ""] Some people like westerns, some like kung-fu flicks, but I always loved my adventure movies rooted in fantasy. Anyone else a fan of movies like the Magic Sword, Sword and the Sorceror, Krull, the Steve Reeves 'Hercules' films, Beastmaster, Dragonslayer (even though that awful dork from Ghostbusters 2 makes me gag,) the Deathstalker series, etc? I have always had a soft spot for Hercules in the Haunted World because of how surreal it is, and for the Indonesian movie the Devils Sword for its utter cheese and ridiculousness. Anyone else? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:44pm - arilliusbm ""] Yea, sword and old news |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:46pm - trioxin245 ""] o...k |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:50pm - trioxin245 ""] I was asking if anyone else was familiar with the movies, not trying to introduce anyone to something new, so obviously it would by default be old news. Not to mention the films are from the 60s. TRY DOING IT RIGHT NEXT TIME BRO |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:52pm - arilliusbm ""] lol. the old news trick still works. |

| ____________________________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:06pm - Lvl 36 Sword and Sandal Sorcercer ""] WTF |
| ________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:06pm - KEVORD ""] Beastmaster rules and no one has mentioned Conan the Barbarian , Conan the Destroyer, or Red Sonja yet. |
| ______________________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:08pm - DEFINITELY NOT ROSS OR ARIL ""] That's because those were made in the 80s and are too new. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:08pm - trioxin245 ""] I didnt mention them, or Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans, because they are so well known, but theyre all good movies of course. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:09pm - AndrewBastard ""] yeah the sinbad movies are dope |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:11pm - trioxin245 ""] AndrewBastard said:yeah the sinbad movies are dope Im telling you, watch the Hammer film 'Hercules in the Haunted World.' other than the low production values, youll love it. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:12pm - trioxin245 ""] errrr it's actually not Hammer just Mario Bava. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:18pm - Yeti ""] i haven't seen Krull in so long, i used to love that as a kid. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:20pm - Yeti ""] same with Beastmaster. did one of the Beastmasters have cloaked villians that turned to goo when they were killed? or did i imagine that? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:20pm - arilliusbm ""] The Ice Pirates, Conquest, and Yor or GTFO |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:21pm - trioxin245 ""] Also on a semi-related note, has anyone ever seen that Tim Robbins movie Erik the Viking? I didnt even know it existed until recently, but it's actually really well done, even if the humor is forced and cheesy as hell. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:21pm - Swollen Goat ""] I doubt Ross actually likes eagles (the bird) |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:22pm - trioxin245 ""] The Ice Pirates and Yor are not even the same genre bro. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:23pm - Yeti ""] when i was in 8th grade this kid i used to hang out with showed me Erik the Viking and Army of Darkness one time. i can't remember a thing about Erik the Viking. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:24pm - arilliusbm ""] I'm sorry, I FORGOT ABOUT SWORDS. cheesy sci-fi and fantasy movies are basically the same to me. I don't really separate the two. |

| _____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:33pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Aril does tend to think he is above the law and people like he's some sort of God. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:37pm - arilliusbm ""] Yea okay bud. Like we ever exchange serious texts. Let me call the kettle black or at least make a thread with every ridiculous text I've gotten over the past 4 months. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:42pm - trioxin245 ""] I always considered you a friend and had your back when people had bad things to say, but frankly all you seem to do is try to intentionally piss off people who are supposed to be your friends. Eventually that shit just gets kind of old, that's all. It's not that big of a deal, I just dont understand it I guess. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:45pm - trioxin245 ""] anyway, back to the topic at hand. On a semi-related note, Im watching the Killing of Satan. It's more of a weird adventure / splatter movie than anything else but I love how everyone in the movie shoots lasers out of their fingers. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:46pm - arilliusbm ""] Yea, because rttp people whom I've met 2 times in my life are friends. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:47pm - trioxin245 ""] haha oh OK I didnt realize it was like that. Good to know. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 4:03pm - trioxin245 ""] Tim Curry as Darkness was actually one of the main things I DIDNT like about Legend. Well not so muc tIm Currys acting as just those dumbass horns they gave him. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 4:25pm - arilliusbm ""] LOL . BACK ON TOPIC PLZ. ROSS AND I ARE GOING TO FIGHT WITH SWORDS AND SANDALS AND SETTLE THIS LIKE MEN. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 4:28pm - trioxin245 ""] The word Settle just reminded me of that game The Settlers. I remember it being good but it's been a while. I wonder if I still have that shiz. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 4:30pm - narkybark ""] That reminds me of settlers in Civilization. Hate that -1 population penalty. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 4:37pm - trioxin245 ""] Civilizaton IV was so good. HUGE game, especially wit all the expansions. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 4:37pm - Headbanging_Man ""] Ugh, so much unintentional mixage of decades! I love 80's style Sword and Sorcery fantasy, but speaking strictly of 50's/60's Sword and Sandal, I enjoy a lot of what I've seen. I think Steve Reeves, Mark Forrest, and Richard Harrison are the most memorable of the muscle-men leads. I can't say ANY of these flicks escape the basic narrative form, but there's still a lot of fun Technicolor nonsense worth exploring. Hercules The Giant of Marathon Two Gladiators Giants of Rome Hercules: Prisoner of Evil Mole Men Against the Son of Hercules Hercules Against the Moon Men Hercules in the Haunted World Knives of the Avenger (another Bava, no fantasy elements but a fine little period/action flick nonetheless) Goliath and the Vampires Rome Against Rome (aka War of the Zombies) Son of Samson The Last of the Vikings Mill Creek's Warriors 50-film set is a good way to get a bunch of these on the cheap, though there are some real clunkers in the set and a few of the titles have received better looking releases (from Something Weird and Retromedia mainly).

| _____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 4:39pm - Randy_Marsh ""] star wars |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 4:49pm - trioxin245 ""] Yea I have a double-feature of Goliath and the Vampires and Goliath ad the Sins of Babylong that Something weird released that actually looks pretty good for what it is. Im a big fan of Reg Park as Hercules for some reason, even though it was short lived. Against the Moon Men is SO ridiculouis. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 4:50pm - trioxin245 ""] ugh wtf is up with all these typos today? Hah |
| ______________________________ [Nov 13,2012 5:18pm - Yeti ""] wow, who knew swords and sandals could provoke such ire. i think Ross and Jim should duke it out with LARP weapons. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 5:27pm - trioxin245 ""] If Andrew lets me use his LARP gear, Im down. |

| ________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 6:45pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Magic Journey of Sinbad FTW, especially considering it's got nothing at all to do with Sinbad and is actually based on Russo-mythoshit. Also Frances Ford Coppola got his start doing the de-Russification for American audiences (hence the Sinbad plot). MST3K version for bonus points. Related: Sword and the Dragon (same production company, also available with Mike-and-bots commentary). |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 6:59pm - arilliusbm ""] lol @ Magic Journey of Sinbad. I need to buy all of these damn movies. Do they have them on DVD? They must. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 7:06pm - trioxin245 ""] grab the Warriors collection that alex suggested. It has a lot of crap but some good uns and its cheap. Also LOL @ the price on amazon www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000F9SUT4/ref=redir_mdp_mobile |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 7:08pm - Headbanging_Man ""] Reg Park isn't bad, but he doesn't have as much charisma as some of the other stars of Peplum. He does seem very sincere though! [img] |

| _________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 7:33pm - Headbanging_Man ""] You can stream a few on Netflix... Though I think the print of Hercules in the Haunted World they offer is cut by a few minutes, try the disc from Fantoma. Duel of the Titans David and Goliath (1961) Hercules Against the Mongols Ulysses My Son, The Hero (this one kind of bored me though) |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 7:34pm - Headbanging_Man ""] Oh yeah, and they have the fantastic 1983 Neo-Peplum Hercules with Lou Ferrigno. |
