Thus it make sense that in sword & sandal / sword & sorcery comics / movies women of 'pagan' background go topless (weather permitting) -yet not in Middle-Earth, Tolkien was a devout Catholic. abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652234729744168364.post-90085694878841570812010-12-16T11:49:23.622+11:002010-12-16T11:49:23.622+11:00Those are the old DVDs.

They get progressively worse with the next two. I remember being really psyched to see part 4 as Rick Hill returned to the role, but damn if it was a horrible sequel. All the sequels reuse scenes from the first movie and also use music from BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS as far as I remember.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652234729744168364.post-45030993503870789772010-12-10T15:43:58.566+11:002010-12-10T15:43:58.566+11:00Watching this does not prepare you for Deathstalke...Watching this does not prepare you for <i>Deathstalker II,</i> but then again, nothing really does.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652234729744168364.post-25539036295847523592010-12-09T18:17:58.641+11:002010-12-09T18:17:58.641+11:00This is one of my all time favorites period.

And yes, this one got released at the Drive In in my neck of the woods.<br /><br />Strangely enough, when it played on the Turner owned TNT cable channel as part of a Barbi Benton birthday bash, there was about 15 minutes of additional footage put back into the movie. Not sure where this stuff came from but it was a lot of stuff including additional fight scenes and, believe it or not, at least one extra shot of gore--a head seen flying through the air is shown landing on the ground.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652234729744168364.post-11121544238786119942010-12-09T15:25:32.071+11:002010-12-09T15:25:32.071+11:00Almost all Corman movies got theatrical releases r...Almost all Corman movies got theatrical releases right up into the early 1990s.Marty McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516468586469252914noreply@blogger.com
