Review of Hawk the Slayer (1980) by Zaar D — 19 Jan 2007

OK some of this rating is just to tick people off. :-).

I would like to point out though that this movie is an adaptation of the Seven Samurai, a classic movie.

That said everything else is just tremendously bad. You can see the ropes on the "mindsword", Jack Palance's performance as the evil Voltan is hovering slightly above the peak of Everest (though to be fair to Mr Palance he usually starts somewhere around there), while the actor who plays the elf dials so far back on his acting he makes the Star Trek Vulcan's (from which he obviously stole his idea for his character) look like weeping emotional crybabies. Also look for Jack's dad from "Lost" as the titular Hawk.

A must see.
