Storyline

Lancelot lives by the sword. In fact, they're next door neighbours, so teaming up to fight for money comes pretty naturally. Lady Guinevere, on her way to marry King Arthur is ambushed by the evil Sir Malagant. Fortunately Lancelot is lurking nearby and he rescues his future queen. They fall in love, but Guinevere still fancies the idea of wearing a crown, so she honours her promise to Arthur. Can Lady Guinevere remain faithful, or will this Pretty Woman become a lady of the knight? Written by Tim McSmythurs <Tim.McSmythurs@swindon.ericsson.se>

Trivia

In a making-of feature, when Richard Gere prepares to rescue Guinevere for the first time, Gere stated that this would be his last action role. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: After Lancelot saves Guinevere the first time, she uses a small crossbow to shoot a guy trying to kiss her. She shoots the crossbow straight up into the guy's stomach. When the guy falls to the ground, the crossbow bolt comes out of the man's stomach horizontally, not vertically. See more »

Quotes

King Arthur: For the first in my life, I wanted what all wise man say can't last; what can't be promised or made to linger any more than sunlight. I don't want to die without having felt its warmth on my face.
