Quotes
Hofrax: [addressing Athalia, who has been stripped naked and stretched taut on a torture rack, and is in immense agony as she is slowly tortured to death] If you're afraid to use the scepter to save yourself, you're certainly never going to give the secret to us. And so Ankaris has relented. He's given me permission to kill you. Ah, I intend to do it very slowly. The secret of the scepter will have to remain a secret.
Princess Athalia: Sss... so... someday someone will come and stop you... uggglmmmm!
Hofrax: Ha ha! Who? One of your rebels? Our soldiers march within the hour to hunt them down.
Princess Athalia: [grimacing in agony] Ahh .. ahhgggh! Ohhh... owwww!

Campy rather than just simply bad

Well, this film is what it is. Some of the criticism is a bit overwrought. Yes, the plot is odd, and the production values are low. I would describe it as campy rather than just simply bad. The filmmakers cannot be oblivious to what they are putting on the screen. In the sword fighting scenes, the actors don't really even try to make it look real. Lana Clarkson looked so beautiful here, and that is sort of the point, not the medieval plot and staging. I had forgotten that Miss Clarkson was the actress murdered by Phil Spector. So sad.
