Poster for the movie The Sword and the Sorcerer

The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982)

This entry in the sword-and-sorcery genre stars Lee Horsley as the hero out to avenge his parents’ deaths upon the wicked king (Richard Lynch) who called forth a demon to strike down his opponents, but it also features, in the form of the protagonist’s triple-bladed swords, one of the silliest of wonder weapons. Particularly entertaining is the treachery among the bad guys, but the story drags a bit too long to really make the film a success.

  Mildly recommended for genre fans. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK.

Movie 12 for 2021.
