hawk the slayer (1981)


"Sometimes I tire... of the fighting and killing. At night, I can hear the call of my race. They wait for me. When I join them, we will be forgotten."
Hawk the Slayer (John Terry), sees both his father and bride killed by his evil brother, Voltan (Jack Palance). With nothing to do, he decides on a bit of revenge. So with his handy "mind-sword" and a band of motley warriors he's off to save the world.
Trying to enter the sword and sorcery boom of the early 80's, this throws in some spaghetti western set pieces, amongst others, but never quite gells, and now takes on the role of comedy.
