While the name Aquila can refer to an Italian city, it feels obvious that Ladyhawke is happening in medieval France. All names are french (Etienne Navarre, Philippe Gaston...) and Isabeau of Anjou, which refers to a french province.

Interesting point. Not sure if it's ever clarified in the film. It was definitely filmed in Italy.

@@80semporium I found this, it's not official but interesting : "The characters are Norman. A family of Norman knights migrated from Normandy to southern Italy and Sicily in the eleventh an twelfth centuries. Other Norman and French knights followed. They conquered all of the peninsula below Rome as well as the island of Sicily by about 1130. Hence, the nobles, knights, and clergy would be Norman French or French and bear French names. A number of them also seem to be returned crusaders, either from the First or the Second Crusade. Hard telling. The action of the movies is supposed to be taking place in central Italy. The bishop's church is located in Aquila, a semi-fictional city in the high Apennines. Frederick II founded the actual city of L'Aquila in Abruzzo in about 1240, but what's a century or so when the story is good, and it is good. The abandoned castle where Brother Imperius is hiding out is the Rocca Calascio, which stands about 30 east of modern L'Aquila."

Game Of Thrones absolutely would not exist without Dragonslayer. George RR Martin has talked about the fantasy that influenced him. Dragonslayer is one of his favorite movies. Honestly a lot of modern epic/high fantasy would at least be different without it. I literally tell every young fantasy fan I meet to see it. Whenever I start a new relationship I show them this movie among a few others. I've been surprised how many women loved it growing up. More than once they've told me that and we had fun watching one of our favorite classics. So clearly it has a wide appeal. I really do love it

Harlem nights regarded as his worst but is a cult classic now. That movie was super underrated.

LotR has nothing to do with Sword and Sorcery. Its High Fantasy, which goes by very different tropes and themes

No mentioning of Jean Claude van Damme in Breakin? You even show a clip with him in it. Check it out.

My mom took my brother and I to a park one time because they were having a screening of Black Cauldron (a couple years before it came to VHS). But it was still light out and the projector screen was so small we couldn’t even see it. Had to wait a few more years before I ever saw it. Still, a worthwhile memory. 😊

Conan was very much NOT a "comic book character" created in 1932. He was a pulp magazine, short story character featured in Weird Tales and then collected in book form in the 1960s. He became a paperback sensation because of the Ace/Lancer series of the late 60s and 70s (riding the fantasy boom created by the Lord of the Rings release). Only then did Marvel adapt him to comic book form, which was also highly successful.
