Hawk the Slayer [Region 2] description
Among its many dubious distinctions, Hawk the Slayer is the only sword-and-sorcery movie to feature Silly-String® as a medieval weapon!

High fantasy, low,low budget

| I saw this film in fifth grade and absolutely loved it. Recently on a nostalgic whim I picked up a copy and was pleasantly surprised. Though it is extremely low-budget, campy as leisure suits, and has a script any ten year old could have written, I still enjoyed it. Now I have to warn you if your expecting epic, Peter Jacksonesk film making here you will be very disappointed. Do not purchase or view this film if you are the highly critical, earnest, deeply intellectual sort. This is pure fun. The three supporting characters (the elf, the dwarf, and the giant) are the highlight of the film. The comradery between the dwarf and giant is especially enjoyable. Palance's Voltan is so overwraught he makes Ricardo Montolban's (I'm pretty sure I misspelled that,sorry) portrayal of Khan look subtle and nuanced. You're looking for the fishing line on most of the special effects shots, and I'm pretty sure the elf is wearing penny loafers. The soundtrack is phenominal, in a bad way of coarse, think of a fifth rate Rick Wakeman knock-off doing a disco/fantasy album. Yet inspite of all its weaknesses I have watched this film not once, but half a dozen times. It's a blast. It's got guilty pleasure written all over it. |
