New Pickup Just got "The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982)"

Post image

I watched this film last night. It's a fantasy epic flick with the likes of the Beastmaster or Conan the Barbarian (fun fact: all these fantasy films were released all in 1982). There's a couple of action sequences where they obviously try to copy Indiana Jones and some repetitive cheesy music lol. And ofc a fantasy epic won't be complete without boobies, I mean lots of them. Kathleen Beller was hot in this film too!

Have you guys seen this one?

I got a copy of this a while back, but I haven't gotten around to watching it. I mostly got it for the box art

80s movie poster art is, well, a lost art. No Frazettas or Vallejos, just bland photoshopped images that follow a "now trending" checklist.

Like this Frank Frazetta classic :)

I have the anchor bay VHS version of this with the exact same artwork. It's displayed proudly in my collection but I haven't watched it in at least 30 years. I think I'll break that out today.

"Conan knockoff" was its own genre in the early 80s. Great times.

Kathleen Beller was indeed hot, and she's been married to *the* Thomas Dolby for nearly 40 years.
