    • Trivia
      Stuntman Jack Tyree was killed when he jumped off a cliff and missed his airbags. When asked if it was ever fully determined what went wrong with the stunt. Albert Pyun says that Tyree had initially misled him stating that he had previously jumped from that location, and he adds that in addition to being "a babe in the woods" on his first film he was also elsewhere at the time shooting a different scene.
    • Goofs
      Despite being crucified with large metal spikes, Talon's hands have no signs of damage during his sword fights afterwards.
    • Quotes

      Eric: We never should have followed that bitch in here.

      Morgan: Quiet, barnacle. It was those land-lubbers that led us into this trap.

    I liked it...
    Ah, this brings back the memories.

    This was one of the scariest movies I saw when I was young, and one of the best adventure/d&d movies. Some of the scenes were truly gruesome, especially the big monster bloke with the beating heart. I still remember grimacing as the hero puts his hand on the tree and one of the baddies fires an arrow into it, and when Talon is attached to the cross and has to pull his hands with big nails in them out. Ouch, that gave me the heebygeebees. Classic stuff for kids, although I nearly died with embarrasment (watching this beside my mum at the time) when Talon is being chased through the castle and crashes into the bedroom filled with beautiful bronzed naked women.

    9/10 as a kid, but the cast do know it's trash and ham it up for what it is.
