A prince and a fellowship of companions set out to rescue his bride from a fortress of alien invaders who have arrived on their home planet, Krull.

I still love this movie. Several brutal death scenes (e.g. getting crushed to death), and one of the most bad ass weapons ever (even if it was only actually used for a few minutes). Amazing musical score, too.
Loved it as a kid, not sure if I willing to watch it again.
It’s still great, just for different reasons.
I remember seeing Krull as a little kid. The cinema was giving out Krull colouring competition sheets on the way out, and I won one of the prizes - a ticket to see Krull!
Great movie when I saw it as a kid, not so much years later as an adult 😅
Saw this in the theater.
There is a universe where Krull became a huge franchise and Star Wars was the derivative B movie.
Star Wars was a derivative B movie, but they accidentally had a really good editor.
And then JJ Abram made a sequel to the original Krull Trilogy.
Didn’t they already remake this one with Kevin Sorbo?
You are thinking of Kull The Conqueror, another barbarian movie based on a Robert E. Howard character.
All I have to say about this movie after watching it as an adult is: “They fucking fly??!!”.
Was this really a B movie? IIRC, it had a wide theatrical release and even its own game on Atari. And while cheesey, the effects were pretty much up to the standard of their time.
ikr that’s like saying Bloodsport or Flash Gordon are B-movies.
wait… are they?!?
C’mon, this is a b-plus movie at least :)
I had the board game of it lol
Hey it’s the thing from the dnd thing with the Hello From the Magic Tavern people and Anthony Burch!
Very early Liam Neeson, and I remember seeing Alun Armstrong a couple years earlier on stage in Nicholas Nickleby. Thought the movie was a bit naff, but I was there for Alun and Lysette Anthony, an early crush…
The Glaive really should have become every bit as iconic as lightsabers and bat’leths.
I disagree, just because the name makes people confused about the real (and really cool) polearm: the glaive.
No, because this movie, which I adored at six years old, is a fucking terrible movie whereas SW is not.
The movie may be terrible, but The Glaive is the height of cool movie weapons! “Magic Laser Death Frisbee” is cool enough to be the BFG-level weapon in a classic FPS.
