Old-school optical fx. Unconvincing but cool matte paintings. Hoodied wizards. Witchy soothsayers. A Spock-like elf. Disco-influenced scoring. Jobbing Brit character actors. An unhinged Jack Palance. The low-budget sword&sorcery of HAWK THE SLAYER (1980) was just what I needed.
Prime Palance.
Cyclopean sorceress Patricia Quinn (Rocky Horror’s Magenta).
Acting greats Ferdy Mayne and Patrick Magee.
More matte work, and a cool location.
Our band of heroes. And I almost forgot to mention that Hawk possesses what is identified as “the last elfin mindsword.” Thus ends this thread.
