If you took a Dungeons & Dragons adventure written hastily by an 8th grader during study hall and turned it into a movie, you'd wind up with something a lot like Hawk the Slayer. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if that's how they actually got the script. But this movie has something that no D&D adventure can claim: Jack Palance. A whole lot of Jack Palance. Specifically MEGA-EVIL Jack Palance, playing a character named Voltan. He yells, kills, yells, whisper-threatens, whisper-yells, kills, and mostly just yells his way across the countryside. Seems no one can stop him until his brother Hawk - yes, his brother, despite being about 40 years younger - gathers an elf, a dwarf, and a giant to take him down. Not as much dignity as a Fellowship of the Ring, more of a... Crew of the Stuff.

Keen-eyed fans may recognize the dwarf from our release Prisoners of the Lost Universe. Also, the actor playing Hawk went on to portray Jack's dad in Lost -- hmmm, Prisoners of the LOST Universe, LOST, time to dig up your old Lost conspiracy theories because there's something happening here, IT'S ALL CONNECTED.

Join Mike, Kevin and Bill for a heaping helping of Jack the Palance and Hawk the Slayer!

Though I wonder, what's with all the Fantasy releases?  Why the sudden influx?

Yeah, with ROTOR, Dinosaurus, Beast of the Yellow Night, Yambao,.. They really piled up recently!

This is another one of the imfamous 80s fantasy movie I haven't seen. Not that fond of the genre (at least not to watch as a serious movie), but I love love love to see them riffed.

I am really enjoying the heroes' annoyance and contempt of how useless and out of touch the nuns are.

So did I miss it, or did they go the whole movie with a character named Crow without referencing a certain golden spider-duck?

Keep them coming!  Loved Sword and the Sorcerer.  Just bought Hawk the Slayer.  If any movies were made for Riffing.  80's Fantasy Cheese is waaaay up on the list.

Not only that, but they were making fun of the fact that he spoke like a robot!
