    Medieval mediocrity....
    Hopeless story, pathetic editing and abysmal casting lead to nothing more than probably one of, if not the worst medieval movies ever made. Bizarre edits in a narrative so uninteresting that you really feel its running time, let alone the pathetic set pieces that neither make sense or add any form of entertainment value. Should we talk sword play? Without doubt the worst you could possibly put on celluloid, the final fight should make both Stoltz and Byrne shudder with embarrassment. There really is no wonder why this missed my radar, considering it was produced around the same time as Highlander, Ladyhawke and Willow, it looks so dated and pathetic in comparison. Cheap and nasty, with that typical over dubbed extras and pathetic periphery ensemble. It's a really hard watch with nothing really to talk about than the score. Avoid.
