Ergo has probably my favorite fantasy introduction, ever. "I am Ergo the magnificent. Short in stature, tall in power, narrow of purpose and wide of vision" The way he intones this always cracks me up.

Krull blew me away as a kid. I still love it to this day. It was on par with the original Conan films and even the first Beast Master. It deserves more recognition.

I was absolutely IN LOVE with Lysette Anthony. I still watch anything she's in- even the sequel to Trilogy of Terror.

Hawk The Slayer, Krull, the Sword and the Sorcerer, Conan the Barbarian, Beastmaster… The early eighties was a great time to be a swords and sorcery fan and D&D player :-) Love these videos Minty

Krull actually represents many weekends from my childhood spent in front of the TV, dreaming of riding a fire mare across the sky!!

How ironic that Krull was a better Dungeons and Dragons movie than the actual Dungeons and Dragons movie.

Dude, the fact that you're reviewing in 2019 a movie I watched when I was 5, in 1986 is just fucking amazing. I love your channel man, keep it up!

I miss the 80's movies. I'm glad I got to see them in that time.

No lie, when i was a kid , i shead a tear when the Cyclops died😶

Most children back then, wanted a Lightsaber. I wanted a Glave.

Every time i hear that critics hated a movie i knew i would like it. Krull is a great movie that gives you that kid at heart feeling every time. And the music is timeless and adds so much to the movie.

My late father and I would watch this on rainy days. Painfully nostalgic to watch again. Solid cast, haunting sound track, fun to watch!

Hands down my absolute favorite movie ever. I remember my mom took me and my brother to see this when it came out. I was around 4yrs old and boy did it stick with me. Growing up, I’d always stop what I was doing to watch this when it came out on tv. Also had the accompanying books. Bought the dvd when it came out. Been working on having my son get into it. Rell’s death still breaks my heart.

Krull was, is and always will be awesome!

As a child I was traumatized by the cyclops getting squished in the doorway. Also you just helped me explain a very confusing year with Bond movies.

I love modern movies, but 70's, 80's and early 90's movies will forever be hard to beat. So many classics!!!!

Proud to own this film, that changeling scream!

Loved this movie as a kid! The sad thing is KRULL was easily the better of the competing films in story, originality and production.

Krull is badass. Underrated overlooked classic. That’s great you covered this

Krull is in my top 5 favorite of all time movies, it's one of those movies I can watch over and over again.

One of my favorites as a kid. Man I miss drive-in theaters.

LOVE Krull...have it on DVD. 😉

Fact: This is where Liam Neeson got his certain set of skills

Horner was the best composer in Hollywood history, and Krull's score was one of the best of his works, regardless of what you think about the movie. RIP.

" love is fleeting"... one of my all-time favorite movies

One of my favorite movies when I was a kid... When it comes on TV I still watch it

Loved this film when I was a boy. Early 80's films really had made great memories for me.

Krull is awesome. And so was Excalibur (Still the best King Arthur legend movie ever made). Loved every second of Krull and the video game was oodles of fun, too.

Even then, Liam had a particular set of skills!

Saw it at the cinema as a kid when it first released and loved it. It's an all-time classic for me and still holds up very well. Do Dragonslayer, please. That's another of my childhood favourites.

Watched this movie when I was a kid. LOVED IT! The Slayers were very creepy to me and so was the BEAST! It felt epic and fun and as a kid it really sparked my imagination!

Love love love Krull! One of my all time favorites! The main title theme is PERFECT for a backdrop for any Dungeons@dragons campaign.

I love this movie! "Star Wars meets Excalibur"? Nope! Lord of the Rings meets The Dirty Dozen.

Right at the beginning of your video you get the whole plot wrong, they do not set out on a quest to get the glaive. In fact getting the glaive is pretty much the first thing Colwyn does after the slayers invade and take Lyssa. The quest that they do set out on is finding the Black Fortress, because the fortress magically teleports to a new location each day at sunrise.

"Thieves! Bandits! Fighters and brawlers!!" Statement punctuated by the crack of as whip. One of the best fantasy action movie lines ever!!

One of my all time favorite movies as a kid. I can't get that weird muppet scream the bad guys made when they were killed out of my head!

This is one of my favorites movies of the 80s

Minty never lets me down on Friday and it's always a movie I grew up loving

Had me laughing at Dnnis Quaid-ish!

Thank you Minty! I was looking at your older videos and am so glad that you are still here (after seeing a moment where you thought you should stop). Please keep them coming. Also, I have a request. I'll be visiting Aussie-land soon and would love a video on what to see in Australia. I will have lots of time to visit many places and I would love a review from you 'cause you're so good at it. Keep up the good work!!!!

Now you need to do Ice Pirates.

Absolutely love Krull - one of my all time favourite fantasy movies. The actor who played Torquil - Alun Armstrong - went to the same grammar school as my dad when they were boys. They were both members of the school's drama society, and are still friends to this day. I've got a photo of them in Hamlet, where my dad is playing Hamlet's father, and Hamlet is played by Alun. Later, dad was a producer in BBC radio, and the first programme he made as part of his producer's training was picked up for broadcast by Radio 4, and he got Alun to narrate it.

Ahhh, yes...the Glaive. So many 80s kids grabbing dad's circular saw blades so they could play Krull... So many tetanus shots...

One of my fav fantasy movie up there with The Sword and the Sorcerer.

Still a great movie... a classic in my eyes

This was a kickass movie! I still love it!

I never would have made that Michael Eddington connection. Mind Blown! Thanks Minty!

Anyone else get sad for *The Glave* when it got stuck in *The Beast?* .. I felt it was alive and was sorta like a pet... ;(

Absolutely loved this movie as a kid. I never saw it at the theater, but It got multiple rentals from me on home video back then. Thanks for covering this one. Now I'm off to Amazon to find a DVD copy for myself.

This has been one of my guilty pleasure faves (along with Ice Pirates), and I love that Glave! Reminds me of Xena's chakram (even though they don't look exactly alike). Just loved the music and I used to go to the arcade in my early teens after I saw it to play the video game version. It was kooky and fun! Thanks for this Minty!

One of my earliest memories is falling asleep in the theatre during this.

the effects were awesome...especially the CYCLOPS!!!!!!!!

I loved this movie growing up. That spider was gangster

The Cyclops is the real MVP of this one!

Totally had the GLAIVE in Ready player one... that was awesome.

I remember seeing this movie by myself in the theater. Probably one of my first solo-movie adventures. I was only nine years old. Times were different back then.

I went to see the movie multiple times in the theater and I still watch it just about anytime I catch it playing on television. I also still own the comic books and the Atari game. Maybe I should play that game right now...

One of the few movies Minty's reviewed that I haven't seen - yet! And thanks, Minty! That's my voice!

Sat through two plays of this, back to back at the theater, with my wife. Still love the Scripting, Scoring and Acting today.

We were sorely lacking in high fantasy movies in the 80's, so this one was a gem for me.

Totally cool movie. I think I was 5 when it came out. It blended old school Arthurian, science fiction and horror fantasy man. This movie and Dragon Slayer were watched over and over then. :)

I frickin' love Krull it is epic! That kinda sci-fi fantasy/sword & sorcery is my cup of tea! Of course I own it ;)

I was 12 years old and I still remember watching this one on the theater. God time flies ...

I remember my dad taking me to the drive-in to see this. I was enthralled.

Robbie Coltrane was also in the "Harry Potter" series, and i think there was another big movie that year... mmm... oh yeah! i remember... something called "Return of the Jedi"

BLESS YOU!!! This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine :) Thanks so much for this video 💜

Fantasy movies where massive in the 80’s, after a trip to the video shop we almost always came home with one and Krull was undoubtedly my favourite. Great movie.

I was born in 1970 so by the time the 80s started I old enough and alert enough to watch and enjoy all these brilliant 80s movies 🎥 😀

loved this movie as a kid. what 80s kid didnt have a crush on the princess?

nothing is more mystical eighties than "Legend" ... god i love Tim Curry :D

Loved Krull. Thank you for the nostalgia.

These movies are such wonderful gems to have had growing up in the 80s

I would love to have that Krull comicbook...and that gorgeous glaive

Loved Krull! I wanted the Grave when I was a kid, it looked so cool.

I thought the Glaive was the second coolest thing to a lightsaber. Cut to my forties when I found out that THE Glaive wasn't actually A glaive.

Always loved Krull! Watched it so many times as a kid in the 80's

If Jesus used the Glaive in South Park then it’s legit

Loved this as a kid 😊😊

I have a idea. Do "Hawk the Slayer", directed by Terry Marcel (1981). It is a very underappreciated movie, that I for one enjoyed very much.

Thanks for the upload Minty. Love the channel

I always wanted that blade. I was always mad he left it behind lol

Lysette Anthony's "accent" was perfectly acceptable in her much-welcome presence in Bryan Adams' music videos. Don't think anyone would have been put off by it (she's sexy no matter what).

Pure 80's bliss. I still got a copy on vhs.

Krull was one of the first movies I ever remembered as earliest as I can since the 80s, it made such an impact on me that it’s my childhood movie above all others. Only Spaced Invaders comes second as that was the first movie I ever saw in theaters.

As a kid I loved the weapon in this movie. Hell I love this movie altogether it was a great story. On another note I always thought the main protagonists looked like a young Patrick Swayze. Great Job Minty!

The glaive appears in ready player number one i got so excited when Sho used it

This movie was one of my childhood favourites. It is now one of my children's favourites as well.

In 1983, I was 11 years old and this was the greatest movie I had ever seen ... and I had seen Star Wars.

HOLY SHIT! I've had this little pewter dragon figure for years. So long, in fact, that I had no memory where it had come from. Then, watching this video, I saw it in the clip about the D&D dungeon game! I never knew that game existed, so I don't know how I wound up with that little figure. But thank you! You solved a huge mystery for me!

Thanks for mentioning James Horner! Such a Shame he passed away 4 years ago.

Brotha, thank you for all that you do. Your videos are incredible, keep it up. Straight Out of Arkansas

Love you and your reminiscance minteh!, watched all this stuff as an eighties child while raised out in the desert. TV, Cartoons, and imagination were all that was available, GREAT TIMES! Anyway, great vid and so good to reminisce, looking forward to watching more! Likin and subbin!

Loved this movie. But now I'm asking have you done Ice Pirates?! Who our age didn't love that space adventure!!! That movie was awesome

You're tearing me apart Lyssa

Another awesome episode from Minty! Well done 👍🏼

Thanks for the gift. Krull is one of my favorite movies of all time. It defines the word nostalgia for me.

Holy cow he was on DS9 what a difference in looks but now I can see it, jeez

Yay krull!!! So glad you did this video!!

Another point of interest is that the "spaceship/mountain" shape was inspired and made to look like Ship Wreck Mountain in the north west corner of New Mexico, USA. It is an iconic geographical feature of the desert and it is very impressive because most of the area is flat and the hills in the area seem to suddenly come out of the ground and such is the case of "Ship Wreck Mountain".

In a time when KZfaqrs are slumming for clicks by promoting negative criticism of video games and movies and screaming that the sky is falling and that we "should all be worried" about anything coming out in 2019, I LOVE that you shed a positive light on all of the reasons why we love these different forms of entertainment. I wish more people would simply appreciate...thats it, just appreciate. It would be a happier world. Stay real Minty!
