A mercenary with a three-bladed sword rediscovers his royal heritage&#39;s dangerous future when he is recruited to help a princess foil the designs of a brutal tyrant and a powerful sorcerer in conquering a land.
In his review of this film, Leslie Halliwell hoped that it would put an end to the then-popular &quot;sword &amp; sorcery&quot; cycle; while he partly got it right because the proposed sequel proudly promised during the end credits which was to have been called &quot;Tales Of The Ancient Empire&quot; never materialized, I have to disagree with him because, not only am I a fan of those kind of movies, but THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER is actually one of its more tolerable examples. Incidentally, this is one of those films I recall being released theatrically back in my childhood days but which I eventually missed out on; ironically, one of my earliest movie-going memories is a previous film from the same genre, CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981).<br/><br/>THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER was the directorial debut of Albert Pyun who, over the years, seems to have garnered an unenviable reputation as a Grade Z hack but which, at least from the evidence on display here, seems unjustified; in fact, the film is quite an entertaining ride while it&#39;s on and the bloodthirsty action highlights are not only competently staged but even rousing on occasion. Several of the lead actors featured in the cast were popular TV personalities of the time and I recall seeing them as their long-term personas in my childhood days, namely: Lee Horsely (MATT HOUSTON [1982]), Katherine Beller (DYNASTY [1982-84]), Simon MacCorkindale (MANIMAL [1983]) and Joe Regalbuto (STREET HAWK [1985]); also appearing in the film are George Maharis (as the deceitful Sorcerer of the title), Richard Lynch (as the villain of the piece), Nina Van Pallandt (as Horsely&#39;s mother who is dispatched by Lynch early on), Jeff Corey (as a sympathetic but ill-fated inn-keeper) and, unrecognizably, Peter Breck, Jay Robinson and Corinne Calvet! <br/><br/>Maharis and Lynch come off best as, respectively, the reptilian Machelli (at least in human form - another actor, Richard Moll, was under the icky Sorcerer make-up at the beginning and final stages of the film) and the vicious usurper Titus Cromwell (surely a more original surname could have been dreamt up for the character, no?); on the other hand, the younger actors try hard but are defeated by the confusing script brimming with peripheral characters and warring factions. Consequently, we have to put up with some obnoxious, anachronistic minor characters like Regalbuto&#39;s and his seemingly Jamaican partner/antagonist. Fortunately, Beller is easy on the eyes and, in fact, is involved – along with most of the other anonymous females in the film – in brief flashes of welcome nudity.
While the film is utter cheese, and is jam packed with more butt floss than a dentist office has tooth floss, it is still a fun if sophmoric movie. Good for &quot;Cheesy Movie Nights&quot; everywhere.<br/><br/>What did surprise me though is that at the end of the film in the credits they say &quot;Watch Talon&#39;s next adventure in &#39;Tales of the Ancient Empire&#39; comming soon.&quot; I&#39;ve never heard of it. IMDB doesn&#39;t show any trace of it, and I couldn&#39;t find any other sites listing that it was actually made... I don&#39;t know how that makes me feel. Good because there is one less &#39;completely cheese&#39; movie out there, or disapointed because I&#39;ll probably never get to satisfy that small curiosity that I know I shouldn&#39;t listen to anyhow.<br/><br/>I guess I am still just curious enough to want to see more. Stupid me.
A nonsensical, Hollywood-made, R-rated adventure-fantasy set in a primeval past about usurped kingdoms, erring knights, recently awakened ogres, distressed princesses and various hangers-on.
Because he only wanted revenge for his mother and fathers murder, also he wanted to be a free spirit and have many adventures which would not have been possible if he became the king and stayed in one place  a5c7b9f00b
