Krull

Yet another of the films that made me the fantasy film lovin' geek I am. Enjoy.

Plot: When the houses of two kingdoms unite through marriage, the evil 'Beast's armies arrive, destroy everyone, steal away the newly betrothed princess and leave the prince- Colwyn for dead. Under the aide of Ynyr the Old One he must find the "Glaive", a mythical boomerang type weapon and then go after the bad guys. Problem being, the 'Beast' has this spaceship that's a black fortress and relocates every day at sunrise. So, to find it, Colwyn has to go to an old black widow type lady with the power of 'sight'. Problem with that being, she lives in a web, guarded by a large spider. There's a cyclops, fast hairy horses that leave fire trails in their wake, Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane.

What more do you need?!

Budget: $45-50,000,000

Gross: $16,519,463

Fun Fact: Some of the scenes were shot in the Canary Islands and Italy. Oddly, a few of the lead characters were dubbed. There was even an Atari game and a Marvel comic.
