THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER (1982)

I needed a sword ‘n’ sorcery film for our sword ‘n’ sorcery Roundtable, so I picked The Sword And The Sorcerer.

Not one of my more inspired moments, I agree.

However, apart from being the first of the true sword ‘n’ sorcery films of the 1980s, this also has the distinction of being in all probability the best film ever directed by Albert Pyun.

Contemplate that on the Tree Of Woe.

Speaking of which—

 

CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982)

This Roundtable also gave me the chance to recover and revise my old review of Conan The Barbarian – and to remind myself what an astonishingly good film it is, too.
