I was pleasantly surprised to discover just how bad this movie was. It was supposed to be an epic "sword and sorcery" quest movie, but it was more like "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom: The School Production." It starts with this fat wizard bloke who gets told he needs to find a kid with a symbol in his armpit (???). He finds the kid and tries to teach him magic. The magic tricks are one of the best parts of this movie: they're of the old Stop the Camera, Change Things and Start the Camera Up Again variety. You can see the scenery jump!

After some magic tricks and bad jokes, they decide to save the world. They find a really good swordsman who won't help them, so they free another good swordsman from a cage guarded by demons. The resulting badly choreographed fight between poor actors and people with scary masks on has to be seen to be believed.

There's loads of other bad features: guards who wait quietly for the hero to finish with another guard before they attack, heroes tied up with ropes that are broken with extreme minimal effort when it's convenient, a scary monster who looks like the plant from a school production of "The Little Shop of Horrors," evil guys who laugh a lot, bad acting, more bad acting, obvious stock footage from other movies, a disembodied voice that makes everyone stop and look up in the middle of fight scenes, and the list goes on.

Well worth your time if you can find a copy.

Best line: "Look into the bucket!"
