Sword and sandal / sword and sorcery movies appreciation[views:20043][posts:94]____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:35pm - trioxin245 ""] Some people like westerns, some like kung-fu flicks, but I always loved my adventure movies rooted in fantasy. Anyone else a fan of movies like the Magic Sword, Sword and the Sorceror, Krull, the Steve Reeves 'Hercules' films, Beastmaster, Dragonslayer (even though that awful dork from Ghostbusters 2 makes me gag,) the Deathstalker series, etc? I have always had a soft spot for Hercules in the Haunted World because of how surreal it is, and for the Indonesian movie the Devils Sword for its utter cheese and ridiculousness. Anyone else? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:44pm - arilliusbm ""] Yea, sword and old news |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:46pm - trioxin245 ""] o...k |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:47pm - arilliusbm ""] FIRE AND ICE |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:50pm - trioxin245 ""] I was asking if anyone else was familiar with the movies, not trying to introduce anyone to something new, so obviously it would by default be old news. Not to mention the films are from the 60s. TRY DOING IT RIGHT NEXT TIME BRO |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 2:52pm - arilliusbm ""] lol. the old news trick still works. |

| ________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:01pm - KEVORD ""] Ross, do you like movies about gladiators? |
| ____________________________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:06pm - Lvl 36 Sword and Sandal Sorcercer ""] WTF |
| ________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:06pm - KEVORD ""] Beastmaster rules and no one has mentioned Conan the Barbarian , Conan the Destroyer, or Red Sonja yet. |
| ______________________________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:08pm - DEFINITELY NOT ROSS OR ARIL ""] That's because those were made in the 80s and are too new. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:08pm - trioxin245 ""] I didnt mention them, or Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans, because they are so well known, but theyre all good movies of course. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:09pm - AndrewBastard ""] yeah the sinbad movies are dope |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:11pm - trioxin245 ""] AndrewBastard said:yeah the sinbad movies are dope Im telling you, watch the Hammer film 'Hercules in the Haunted World.' other than the low production values, youll love it. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:12pm - trioxin245 ""] errrr it's actually not Hammer just Mario Bava. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:18pm - Yeti ""] i haven't seen Krull in so long, i used to love that as a kid. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:20pm - Yeti ""] same with Beastmaster. did one of the Beastmasters have cloaked villians that turned to goo when they were killed? or did i imagine that? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:20pm - arilliusbm ""] The Ice Pirates, Conquest, and Yor or GTFO |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:21pm - trioxin245 ""] Also on a semi-related note, has anyone ever seen that Tim Robbins movie Erik the Viking? I didnt even know it existed until recently, but it's actually really well done, even if the humor is forced and cheesy as hell. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:21pm - Swollen Goat ""] I doubt Ross actually likes eagles (the bird) |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:22pm - trioxin245 ""] The Ice Pirates and Yor are not even the same genre bro. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:23pm - Yeti ""] when i was in 8th grade this kid i used to hang out with showed me Erik the Viking and Army of Darkness one time. i can't remember a thing about Erik the Viking. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:24pm - arilliusbm ""] I'm sorry, I FORGOT ABOUT SWORDS. cheesy sci-fi and fantasy movies are basically the same to me. I don't really separate the two. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:25pm - trioxin245 ""] says 'old news' ....... doesnt even understand topic. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:32pm - trioxin245 ""] All your texts ever are are how much better the things you like are than the things I like, so I guess I dont really know what you expect me to say. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:33pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Aril does tend to think he is above the law and people like he's some sort of God. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:37pm - arilliusbm ""] Yea okay bud. Like we ever exchange serious texts. Let me call the kettle black or at least make a thread with every ridiculous text I've gotten over the past 4 months. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:42pm - trioxin245 ""] I always considered you a friend and had your back when people had bad things to say, but frankly all you seem to do is try to intentionally piss off people who are supposed to be your friends. Eventually that shit just gets kind of old, that's all. It's not that big of a deal, I just dont understand it I guess. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:45pm - trioxin245 ""] anyway, back to the topic at hand. On a semi-related note, Im watching the Killing of Satan. It's more of a weird adventure / splatter movie than anything else but I love how everyone in the movie shoots lasers out of their fingers. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:46pm - arilliusbm ""] Yea, because rttp people whom I've met 2 times in my life are friends. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:47pm - trioxin245 ""] haha oh OK I didnt realize it was like that. Good to know. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:57pm - arilliusbm ""] What? Am I the only one that thinks "friends" are something that exists outside of the internet and phones? give me a fucking break. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 13,2012 3:58pm - AndrewBastard ""] stop posting under that name you fucking dingus... I need to copywrite that ish so I can sue niggaz. |
