Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews - THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER

[@TheBrandonTenold]

What's your favorite Albert Pyun movie?

[@tumblingworm737]

Brandon pins his own comments

[@jonahfalcon1970]

Alien from LA. At least, the MST3K version. Though, I did see Alien from LA on HBO a few times before it got the MST3K treatment. I'm guessing Dollman was Brandon's favorite.

[@Knishook]

That shot of Talon jumping into the battle with everything lit in read and all the actors just a silhouette of black looks so fucking good.

[@odinson99m]

One of my All-Time favorites! They just don't make movies like this anymore. The 80s was, hands down, the Golden Age of Pop Culture.

[@sigmacademy]

That's because the 80s experimented with ANY concept, no matter how ridiculous or out there the concept was. Plus, you didn't have to worry about TOO many moral issues regarding derivative concepts and characterization, so filmmakers got away with a lot more stuff than they legally should have been able to. You'd NEVER be able to do something like that in current day.

[@kaijukid1443]

Good lord, that fact about Richard Moll's contacts might one of the most f'd up behind the scenes I've ever heard

[@WizardOfAtlantis]

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. Watched it countless times and it delivers on so many levels. Violence, boobs, unexpected turns, boobs, gore, sexual innuendo, boobs...everything my eleven year old self dreamed of in a nice little package. A hearty contender for the Best Fantasy Film of the early 80s. As for his other films, I'd recommend Nemesis. RIP Albert Pyun, my heartfelt thanks for everything.

[@MasterJediDude]

Yes, Nemesis was a fun movie and I wanted more, but the sequels to it were unrelated and terrible.

[@scockery]

I dunno, coulda used more...uh...boobs. I'd recommend KNIGHTS.

Nemesis actually showed in the theater by me! But I couldn't sneak in. :( I love that movie.

[@jackkelledes4082]

Saw this in the theater with my older brothers and my mom. It turned out to be one of my mom's favorite movies and she would watch it once or twice every year. I think it had a lot to do with Lee Horsley playing the lead, since she was a fan of his TV show Matt Houston. When she passed my son got her VHS collection (several hundred tapes) and the well worn box of this one is in there.

[@deanrussell2224]

That’s a great memory right there

[@jimdigriz2923]

The 3 bladed sword and the head vs grindstone scene are the two things I remembered from this 'so bad it's good' 80's bargain-bin classic.

[@davidfausel9029]

As a kid who played D&D, I absolutely mainlined this movie on HBO in the early 80s every time it was on. Loved it and the way it went a bit against type in certain things you expected from a movie in this genre. And I liked how it wasn't afraid to indulge in a little bit of irreverent humor.

[@SithlordRPGA]

At least lm not the only 80s kid who saw this because of D&D :)

[@a.m.pietroschek1972]

Yeah, that one, Beastmaster, and Krull...

All of those plus Conan and Willow. A few other titles, that escape my overcrowded memories. Forever DM, with 25+ years running games. Man. We were spoiled; for imagination fuel back then, weren't we?

[@dane3038]

And don't forget Hawk the Slayer. Also, Dragon Slayer had the Best Dragon until maybe GoT ( 40 years! ) which gave her ( Vermathrax) a mention making her canon to the series.

[@percussion44]

Myself also with the d&d fantasy stuff. Also liked the boobs.

[@dragonborne]

My dad bought this movie on VHS when I was 10 and I watched it almost daily after school. No one even knew about the nudity until my grandma came into the living room one time and she freaked out. XD I guess I can say this movie is the reason for my love of the fantasy genre and womens' behinds.

[@lukesimmons7332]

This is unabashedly one of my all-time favorite movies and I'm so happy you finally reviewed it! It has everything! Naked wenches, ridiculous weapons, Richard Moll in heavy makeup and an early Reb Brown! (Meaning Albert Pyun has worked with TWO Captain Americas!) The movie was a huge hit when released, 40 million against a 4 million budget, and Richard Lynch received the Saturn Award for supporting actor, but strangely never had a followup. Also, something about Cromwell's slave wench, she's really Talon's little sister. Yep, connect the dots from when she's captured at the beginning of the film to when she's grown up and kisses Talon. Apparently Pyun cribbed from Star Wars - only he knew they were siblings. 😂😂

[@zzzombie888]

Richard Lynch was the best 80s bad guy

[@TheRealNormanBates]

"Why does it feel like I'm kissing my brother?"

[@Cousin_Uli]

Never even knew Pyuns name until just before he passed away. Stuff like Sword and the Sorcerer, Nemesis, and Dollman were staples of my childhood rental sprees. Had to fill out those 5 movies for 5 days deals. Sword and the Sorcerer is a total gem.

[@davetheheretic295]

I saw it first run in the theaters. Yeah, it's cheesy, but the effects, costumes, and acting are good. It's a lot of fun. I was into D & D at the time, as well. I still think it's one of the best fantasy movies out there.

[@johncrafton8319]

Same here, except for that last part. I enjoyed it, about on the same level as Krull, but I still don't count it as one of the best. Fun times - especially for a 10-year-old watching it in the theaters for the first time.

[@richardrobbins387]

[@danabayer7885]

I'm old enough have seen this movie in the theater, but I mostly remember it for a stuntman being killed during the filming. Stuntman Jack Tyree was killed when he jumped off a cliff and missed the airbags. The movie was dedicated to him of course in the credits. But didn't know about Richard Moll's trouble with the contacts, and how his later scenes where done by a stand-in and dubbed by Moll.

This finally solves a personal mystery for me because I have a memory of being at my grandmother's house and my grandfather and an uncle or two were watching what must have been this movie. I only saw the scene in the dungeon of the sorcerer revealing himself and then we left. Recently, due to people talking about this director and his health, I began to suspect this must have been that movie. Seeing this episode finally solidified it. That is one less random haunting mystery.

[@philyeary8809]

This film was actually pretty high budgeted, and it was spent well. The stuntman on Xuxia's cliff fall died in the attempt, only his death was cut out, as he missed the airbag.

[@nobbynoris]

In 1983, so the year following this film, the BBC broadcast a commerative Dr Who adventure called The Five Doctors. The plot culminates in the tomb of Rassilon (the founder of Time Lord society) and his sarcophagus also features the frantic, trapped (but mute) faces of previous Time Lords who were tempted by the promise of immortality, and who were trapped in his tomb forever as a result. Wonder if the script team had seen this film. No boobs sadly, but hey, that's stingy BBC budgets for you.

[@johncrafton8319]

My dad took us to watch this when it hit the theaters. I actually liked Lee Horsley from the TV series Nero Wolfe and later Matt Houston, so it was kinda neat seeing him here. Plus, the movie bucked expectations, which was a big deal (even to 10-year-old me) when every other movie was following all conventions. I'd actually owned this on Beta, VHS, and LaserDisc, even though I only ever just kinda liked it. Fun fact: Lee Horsley's Talon shows up in the sequel. He may not be the main character, but he's still there.

I've covered the late 1970s-mid 80s fantasy boom on my godforsaken blog, and I concluded that the Conan films were a little too late to have had much impact either way. What I have considered very seriously as the precipitating event was of all things Disney's Black Cauldron. It may have come out even later than Conan the Destroyer, but it was in Development Hell so ridiculously long that a whole generation of scripts could have been greenlit on the assumption that it was about to stomp the box office.

[@warhammerguy]

If possible i would love to see you review the Swedish movies The brothers lionheart, The Land of Faraway and/or Ronja robber's daughter. These are all low budget fantasy movies based on the books of the renowned children book writer Astrid Lindgren. A lot of her works was adapted to live action, but all of it was filmed during the 70's and 80' and yet people still love these works and show it to their own kids. Despite being quite old and filmed very cheap these movies are still beloved in the hearts of many. Not only because it is well written books, but also because Lindgren did the Roald Dahl approach of not looking down at children, respecting their intelligence and knowing that children can handle scary themes.The brothers lionheart pretty much opens with the tragic death of 2 children and the movie itself got an impressive body count for a children's movie. I would love to see you review one of these if only to see the perspective from someone who might not have grown up with these works. The black bars might also finally get a vacation. Fun fact: The land of Faraway was Christian Bale's very first featured film, had a lot of similarities to Harry Potter to an almost plagiarizing extent, was filmed in Ukraine when the Chernobyl accident happened so members of the crew had to use Geiger counters on set and the main villain was played by Christopher Lee.
