I love this film too, even though people would mock me mercilessly if I told them. I suppose it's what you would call a "guilty pleasure". It's nice to see a simple tale of good versus evil, where nothing is too complicated or needs analysing.

One of the best Scores in a movie. So many other great movies could have used this track.

"We had no time..."

Best scene in the movie. Lifts it from the B-movie graveyard to a status where fantasy die-hards may rewatch it once in a while.

Those really are beautiful horses. Especially the gray one.

I saw in the extras that these horses were actually brood mares from a farm and were not really used to being riden so the scenes where the actors were trying to mount and falling off were REAL. I love this scene too- now I must go out and get the video !!!!

That score makes me glad to be a man.

Rel- “Screw death! Where’s my horse?” I always cheer inside when he shows up.

in 6:11, where the fire mares fly, it's a beautiful frame! The music and the visuals just blend in.

Great movie - I first saw it back in the mid 80's when I was a kid and many times since! Honestly I can remember every scene about this film. I see that kids for the past 15 years don't know what really good cinema is all about. Great soundtrack - a true hero movie so original in thought!

One of my all-time favorite movies!!! I watched this every time it came on when I was a kid!

RIP ROBBIE COLTRANE, this was the first movie I saw him, Harry Potter much later as Hagrid.

Incredible!!! This part marked my youth!!! :P

FIREMAReS!!!! The only way to travel in the fantasy realm..

Can I just say i think these actors rode these huge Clydedale horses for filming on treadmills. Brave of both the horses and actors.

I remember watching this movie as a kid, and being fascinated by the Fire Mares and especially their ability to fly. being a science geek, I wanted to explain logically how they could do that. I also read a book called "So you want to be a Wizard" by Diane Duane, and one of the characters could walk on air by solidfying the molecules enough to make a surface. I imagine the Fire Mare do something similar, like when they start making fire they are making micro explosions on a molecular level that provide enough force to support their weight even on air. So they are literally running on the blast force of explosions beneath their feet. I haven't figured out in my head what in their physiolgoy would trigger the blasts, but I think ti's a pretty cool idea. In that way though it bothered me that the air running scene was so silent and smooth, cuz I did't imagine them as floating but as still running but on the air molecules, maybe muted galloping noises or little base booms would convey the idea of them running on the actual air. Cheers.

I love this movie!

My favourite scene in the film.

fricken awesome!!!!! i love that music !!!!

My #1 classic movie moment of all time probably. I saw Krull in the movies like 4 times. Love it!!

Best part of the film !

Oh, I love it ever since I was a kid!

I was 10 when this movie came out brings back many memories.

One of my all time favorite scenes from any movie.Along with the lighting of the beacons in Lord of the Rings,young Superman racing the train and Quicksilver saving the day in both those movies.And the music so makes this scene.

I remember this from my childhood! was always my fave scene as well!

A reboot would be cool, just for the ride of the Fire Mares complete with theme music.

This gives me the chills

The music ........epic

Gotta love those 80's special effects,.... rofl, but this is an all time fav movie :)

I first saw this movie when I was 5, and I'm surprised it didn't scar me for life. I really like this movie, though.

Love that movie!

thank you so much for posting this, it was my favourite part of the entire movie when I watched it as a little girl. ^^

D&D movie ftw!

I think is one of the best fantasy movies of the 80's and a cult sci fi classic...I Remember see this movie with my father....What a chillhood!!!

At 4:15: “We had no time…” Damn, Ergo and Rell the Cyclops really get me here. 🥲 Sometimes, you meet people in life that you instantly connect with. Friends like that are rare, but real. These two had a bond that was short and sweet. Reminds me of Gimli and Legolas - an unlikely pair, but friends forever.

whoooo!! I saw this in 70mm 6 track dolby stereo at the Mann national back in '83. At truly inspiring piece of music by a then 29 year old genius James Horner! I used to blast this track on my record player every day

I take it James Horner did the score for Battle Beyond the Stars too as it sounds very similar. It's not glaives that kill demons it's love

i recently bought this had wanted to see it for years. Ever since i was young it was wonderful ! love this part way before the ride of the ghost riders .I was well done i can say nothing bad to this.remind of wildfire the old cartoon especially when they go over the gorge.

great movie, ahh the memories

Got this on Blu Ray and its one of my childhood favorites. Sittin at home on a rainy Saturday I discovered this gem. Watched it and fell instantly in love with it. GREAT MOVIE!! The Score is PERFECT!! The gentlemen that did this Score also did Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan. May he rest in peace and thank you sir for scoring EXCELLENT MOVIES!!

Superb movie

I love this scene, but it some of the sliest things I ever seen. It's a miracle no one got killed doing it.

I would most definitely ride to my death with this music playing aswell.

I was born in 1995 but I remember watching this movie between the years 2003-2006 through a borrowed VCD from a neighbor. My grandparents, aunts amd uncles, my siblings, and our extended family members were all amazed watching this scene ❤️

This movie is awesome. The 80s were filled with cool fantasy movies. I remember James Franco watching this in Pineapple Express.

the guy dying at the end has epic line !

I agree. The movie itself is good but Horners score really made it memorable.

Marvelous

i made my own "fire mare effect".. i rode my horse, shoed, on a cubblestone street, at night!

❤krull

Epic in cinema

I think those were Clydesdales. They are some huge horses!

These were supposed to be dragons. The original title was The Dragons of Krull. Until someone decided the dragons were too expensive.

The cyclops chose to help them, instead of accepting his own fate.

I didn't read the previous text, you were already onto it!

They don't make movies likes this like:TRON,DRAGONSLAYER.THE LAST STARFIGHTER,CONDORMAN,THE BLACK HOLE,FLASH GORDON...

i always loved this movie

I think the Shire is the largest horse.They are mostly bay or black.The Percherons are the gray white draft horses

A remake doesn't mean a replacement! They don't damage nor fix the original. But I think it would be fun to have a remake of this. It wouldn't be the same, of course, but it could have its own good points. Remakes have been around from the time of Shakespeare and before that and are a theater tradition. Its like a storyteller hearing a good story then retelling it their own way. I like them. They keep stories from disappearing.

If cars were never made, this is how Europe and pretty much the world would have been. Electricity exists in the Krull world. We still would have to rely on horses. It would have been enchanting.

Why does everybody have to make fun of a classic 80's movie. Back then they made a movie not like movies now where half that shit is special effects. I still love this movie. Hell, I had the luchbox and played the arcade game for this movie.

This was just reviewed on the Film Sack podcast.

This movie had the most epic soundrack ever.

please forget nostalgia, is a crappy movie, but the score is PRICELESS!

I Love this Movie to I've recently bought it on Amazon Prime my only Criticism as a Horse lover is some of the Horse are Stallions not Mares lol😆😂🤣😹

this was the only vhs my brothers and i had through most of the 80's lol the funny thing is a guy i was dating a couple years back, turned out to be todd carty's riding double. you can see him in this scene a few times (3:29) he he he

Yes. They were still very far away. They wouldn’t have made it without the fire mares

wow ive seem this scene a couple of times and it never gets old. ya for cheesy 80s fantasy.

got the soundtrack for this movie on Vinyl

@mrinvader Thanks for the physics lesson.I wonder if the makers of Krull thought of the notion of flying horses in those terms?

It was James Horner. Epic soundtrack if you can get hold of it. Sadly only ever heard it with the movie.

Yup :)

wonderfull film! I like it too!

Release the Fire mares!

Pls can someone upload the film-Haven't seen it for like 20 yrs. My sister and me used to have it on video and it was one of our favourites along with Army of Darkness from the Evil Dead series

@Eljaiek That cyclops ruled so hard.

I bet you that if the Fire Mares were real, every person in the world especially cowboys would LOVE to have them. It would save loads of gas and time.

No shit, thanks for that 3zaqxsw3 I had no idea!

It is a great movie, considering when it was made and budget etc; very nice cast, today it would be an ''ensemble''. It has certainly aged very well indeed

Yeah the review on Film Sack was really good.

well everyone has already said it, but this is James Horners best work.

@bcin3d Yes! Well put. Not since Jaws has a filmed been so enhanced by its music.

If the bad guy had any sense, he would leave the doors to his fortress closed, materialize his fortress in orbit so that the vacuum would kill the guys crawling outside, and then return to the planet.

Is that Liam Neeson at 3:45?

amazing film, watich it and get to 5:59 and wait 10 seconds, if u pay attention to that point, it will rock you...

Can you believe the same composer for Titanic also composed this music? (James Horner)

EIGHTIES!!!!

´´Each to his fate``

REMAKE REMAKE REMAKE REMAKE!!! NO SUPER GOOD LOOKING AMERICAN TEENAGE CAST, NO DEEP HIDDEN MEANINGS, JUST GOOD OLD FASHIONED FUN FUN FUN.... AND WHILE WE ARE HERE... REMAKE FLASH GORDON... AND KEEP THE QUEEN SOUNDTRACK!!!!

I was just a kid when this movie came out, but even then I thought that Lysette Anthony was a woman worth fighting for. Liam Neeson was in this film.

I forgot the fire mares flew, even for a fantasy film that's a bit silly.If they had wings like Pegasus in Clash of the Titans it would make more sense.Still, I think Krull is an entertaining flick with a great score.

It wasn't so much her age, the studio bosses at Columbia thought an American actress would give better box office than an English one, so they dubbed her into American. She still seemed pretty pissed off about it on the DVD commentary, nearly 20 years later and takes swipes at the movie throughout.

I understand what you are saying 'Ashworth6' however 'yanndick' does have a point... the movie would be pretty cool with brand new effects. What does CGI mean?

What kind of horses are those? I have never seen a breed like that. They are very strong looking.

One of James Horner's best scores!!!

ya you should definitely post the whole movie :D

If I'm right, the Fire Mare only travels at 67 km/h, so that fire-stuff is pretty overblown here... (If a Fire Mare travels 1000 miles per day, that is only 67 km per hour)

James Horner is brilliant

You were freaked out by the Cyclops? Just like that shape-changing guy? :D I was kinda myself. But I thought it was real sick when they kill a Slayer and some bloody looking thing comes out from their heads.
