After suffering through a horrible beginning and the longest roll of names of the cast I have yet to see in a cheesy B-film, I thought it could only get better. I thought that was the case until I realized the movie ends without really resolving the conflict. Did they run out of money? It sure looked that way. The heart of the story and the satire of it all made the middle of the film quite enjoyable. I laughed at the cheesy hero adventure comedy that was persistent but was still very upset by the failure to properly compose a storyline. I feel like 10 minute of re-writing could have solved many people's woes with this movie. Watch it and see for yourself, but I suggest fast forwarding through the first 10 minutes and turning it off 20 minutes before the end. You will not regret it that!

I agree with jewel5's review, I had not seen Lee Horsley in anything since he did the series "Paradise", He was a very popular actor in the 1980's. He had the starring role in " Sword and the Sorcerer", and I thought this was a sequel to his character "Talon". I was totally wrong about that, he had a very small cameo role and was listed as "The Stranger"?? This movie was a mess from the beginning, and Michael Pare's acting was terrible, he sounds like he is reading "Q" cards. I guess Lee Horsley's acting career is limited to "cameo" roles of less than "B" movies now, this is a shame that a gifted actor such as Horsley is reduced to this because of his age(mid 50's I believe). I rated this a 1 out of 10, but it should be a 0 out of ten!!

As soon as I saw that this was out, I rented it. Wow, what a piece of crap. It had none of the fun of the original and really didn't even tell a story at all. Lee Horsley Does appear but only for a minute and it is disappointing. Some of the plot devices from the original are used but wasted and the whole thing appears to be shot on video. The Tri-Sword appears off camera but is used very poorly. Michael Pare takes the place as the hero/ betrayer of the Sorceress vampire Whatever. Every episode of Hercules is better than this piece of junk. If you want a movie worth of the original, try "season of the Witch" or Solomon Kane.
