Goddamn it, they aren't even trying. They just rearrange the word order in a sentence every now and then ('Speak true, do you, fair knight?') and add an 'Aye' instead of a yes and pass it off as some kind of medieval epic.

Awesome. It's so terrible that it's fantastic.

Yay-sers this is concentrated childhood but in HD

Wow. It's like a trashy barbarian-flick Renaissance!

This is what it must have felt like on internet forums in Florence in the late middle ages.

The amount of sarcasm dripping from your post, Rob, is probably more epic than this film is going to be. Never saw the original, and I don't think I'll see this. Unless that was Kevin Michael Richadson I saw in the background, and he has a large supporting role. If so, I could be persuaded...

@Teague: Hilarious!

I loved that the three bladed sword couldn't be sheathed, the guy could never put the sword away.

Amazing that Kevin Sorbo hasn't been roasted on Comedy Central like William Shatner was. With acting like that, I really cannot believe the guy can pay the bills. And that chick most certainly was no pleasure to watch as a thespian. Maybe if she naked in a porn, I might have a different opinion of her.

How could you forget Bull from Night Court (as the sorcerer) ripping hearts out?

Everything is better with Bull and a sword that shoots swords.

"I'm your sister!"

"Half!"

HAHAHAHAHAHA! This looks excellent.

Anyone else catch the the evil sorceress they're suppose to kill is named XENA? I guess Sorbo is a little sore that her spin off did so much better than his original. But hey, maybe we'll get to see Sorbo Vs. Lucy Lawless again. Something of this much epic fail has to be by Sy Fy right?

Face it. The original sucked and so will this. This isn't even worth flicking a nickel at Sorbo's sword to see.

AWESOME!!

@KagatoAMV: he did have a sheath-like thing on the side of his horse, it was mostly open on one-side.

And don't forget that not only did it shoot 2 of the side blades off [with enough force to skewer and lift badguys in the air], but also there was a dagger hidden in the hilt!

And there was the bit where Bull from Nightcourt, as the sorcerer, split his own head open with this fingernail-claws and the chick was "wrestling" with the big snake, and where he's all like being crucified on at X but pulls the nail out himself, and the part where he knocks that guy out with a turkey leg...

Loved this movie as a kid, love it's cheesiness now.

I feel ashamed for me to even admit I've never seen the first one. That was beautiful.

wow... sorbo looks... old.

Has it really been that long since Hercules ended?

In the original, doesn't the hero get chased through a harem at some point? I also swear I thought the hero's hold-out dagger actually popped out of his arm Wolverine-style, but that can't be right...

Gawd, I remember seeing that movie in the theaters when it came out. Me and my friend's loved it. (No accounting for taste:P)The chase through the castle was really silly. I am most surely gonna see this sequel if it is released.

OMG, Val Kilmer and Christopher Lambert are in this thing too.

This will be kevin sorbos triumphant premeire on syfy

"I'm your sister!"

"Half.."

Have some of the FFF writers been let loose in Hollywood?

it better have that triple bladed sword in it!!!

Oh man this looks epic. Now if they can also bring back hawk the Slayer...

It's awesome how his half sister looks young enough to be his daughter... or is it he looks old enough to be her father?

It better have Boobs, Titties, McBoing Boings,
Sweater Puppies, Melons, Yabos, and Tagunda-Noka-Hoyas!!! Of courase it should be tasteful nudity that really is only used to futher a good storyline!! That, and the tri-sword will make it a SyFy and diret to DVD classic that ranks next to the Starship Troopers II!!! YEA!!

Kevin fucking Sorbo? I loved him when I was a kid...and apparently still do. awesome.

Not to nitpick or anything, but at 1:54 in the clip, the bottom of the cup that Sorbo drinks out of seems to have a "Made in Whereever" stamp on the bottom of it...

This film will be truly AWESOME!!!

YESSS!!! I am so pumped!

Oh man, B-actors coming out of the woodwork for bad fantasy. This is the kind of thing that fuels people's bad movie nights.

Excellent.

Lee Horsley pulled himself off of a cross in the first one. Could Jesus do that? No? Just checking. Now he's coming back from the dead. Levante Lazarus! Rise Up!

"im your sister" "Half!"

goddammit mr.sorbo, only you can make incest seem awesome.

Sorbo lools old. Also, he needs to hit the gym. He's small and flabby. Sad.

A barbarian named... Aiden? Aiden is one of those impossibly cutesy, trendy boy names like Cody or Dustin or Hunter or some such thing. Whose responsible this? A barbarian needs a name that can actually carve steak when spoken correctly.

Still, this looks delightfully bad. Thanks!

My suggestion to casting agents: Do not put sorority girls in medieval roles. They lack the looks and gravitas to pull it off.

One of my biggest complaints about period films is the tendency to completely ignore that people didn't have perfectly-arranged, super-white, chiklet-like teeth prior to the mid-20th century.

Chuck: They *are* bringing back Hawk the Slayer. There is a sequel in the works right now called Hawk the Hunter.

"I can't even stand how amazing this is."

Seconded. And Lee Horsley is in it as well! Needs 100% more Richard Lynch though.

@ Jack Colby: OMGWTFBBQ!

Damn it! All these years and a continuation is in the making, and they are using the same goddamn reworked script as the original?
Personally, I loved the the Sword and the Sorcerer and at the end they promise another film to come, just like the Conan flicks. I was gonna name my first child Talon!
Better not to touch it at all then take a shit on the original.

CROMMM-WWELL!!!!!!

Holy crap! I always KNEW they wouldn't lie to me in the end credits! It said "Prince Talon WILL RETURN".

Ironically, Lee Horsley is only a couple years older than Kevin Sorbo...

Well...I can guarantee you plenty of cheesy...and, no, Hollowedout, the nudity is gratuitous and completely exploitative I'm afraid. Geez, its nickle (toss it already) pulp after all. Stiltled Dialogue, bad performances, poor imagery. Its really got it all and more.

And I do appreciate the comments and opinions because its likely dead on and painfully true. I can't help but try to overachieve but, for me, making a coherent film IS brain surgery.

Albert... you are my HERO!! Really... you are! Second to tastefull arthouse nudity such as from let's say every Cinemax movie from the 80's is gratutious nudity like all the movies from Cinemax in the 80's!! If you need any type of screening audience... I'll be there for ya!!! Or just send m a DVD :)

Holy crap, Kevin Sorbo seems like Marlon Brando next to that girl, she's so utterly awful. Check out her trying to pronounce "destroy" and "nobility." Awesome.

Those are the names she gave her boobs.

Thanks, Hollowedout. It's comforting to know that there will be at least one person in the theater.

It's a little weird making this film now so long after TSATS because I wasn't sure if it would be relevant for a 21st century audience. But I think we've found a good balance of 80's cheese to go with present day Velveeta.

Best,
Albert

The return of the Sly Sword would be Epic Win.

Alberrant0x7: Listen closer, it's XIA.
