Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Somewhere in the mists of time (or dry ice to you and me), Hawk the Slayer (Terry) roamed a land of painted backdrops, cardboard castles, and gauze-infested forests, fighting Evil and bringing Peace. His team: a dwarf, an elf, a giant, and a witch who can turn a useful trick or two. His opponents: the rest of the world captained by big brother Palance, a dirty player if ever there was one. The object of the game: kill each other. The wonder of it is that the cast can deliver their lines without cracking up. It is all so unbelievably tacky that it almost works.Author: FF
