Movie Reviews of Hawk The Slayer
Movie Review: FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh Wow. I have been actively seeking this movie for years. I finally found it with the correct and magical keywords per the google: "machine gun crossbow fantasy". I know this movie will be awesome, just like processed government cheese in a can. Just like I remembered it, I can't wait! Ahh, the Olden Days of Yore, when we were young and played D&D. That being said, if you were not a teenager in the 80's and cannot admit to playing D&D then you will not appreciate or digg this wondrous gem. But if you do get it, then get it for great justice and do it for the lulz.
Summary of Hawk The Slayer
Among its many dubious distinctions, Hawk the Slayer is the only sword-and-sorcery movie to feature Silly-String? as a medieval weapon! This splendidly wretched British fantasy also boasts such magical wonders as an automatic fast-action crossbow and an archer who shoots instantly replenished arrows in rapid succession, never missing his target! At the lowest ebb of his career, Jack Palance is gleefully hammy as Voltan, the disfigured (i.e., irredeemably evil) elder brother of Hawk (John Terry), who swears vengeance after Voltan kills their father, kidnaps a virginal abbess (Annette Crosbie), and threatens a nunnery for ransom. Add an ultracheesy '80s soundtrack (imagine Rick Wakeman playing roller disco) and some respectable British thespians (Patrick Magee, Roy Kinnear, Harry Andrews), and you've got a poor man's Willow with a dash of Krull, laughably awful and surprisingly entertaining. Fully aware of its own low-budget absurdity, Hawk the Slayer is a Bad Movie classic, guaranteed to satisfy connoisseurs of garbage. (Trivia note: Terry survived his titular heroics and was guest-starring on the popular TV series 24 when this DVD was released in late 2002.) --Jeff ShannonAction & Adventure DVD Video
