80s Sword and Sandel / Sorcery / Scandal - 80s fantasy guilty pleasure goodness

Sheena - I don’t know if that counts but it is very much in the same vein - it’s fantasy and has all the same such tropes - just is a modern day setting vs old times.

bonus it starts with “magic sand” lol it’s like a racist trope swap

This is the movie I was talking about while referring to some awesome 2h claymore sword action


also, the WTF casting of Paul Giamatti as king John but it works and the main dude in a way is a rutger esque dude.

This is the one that started this genera for me… it oft gets confused for the above posted /sword and the sorcerer/ but … nay

behold David Caradine in..


One of the funny parts is when he rescues the woman, chained and topless (of course right…) they show him rescue her and take a jacket and cover her up, she covers herself and it like ohhh- then literally like the next scene with her, she is just topless lol it’s like “wait, what” apparently she has to be to do her magic or something - but Caradine is the spaghetti western gun slinger fighting over the well trope but fantasy

Can we talk about how in Conan the Destroyer he wonders into this village, they were just attacked by bandits (who have been raiding them in and off forever) that killed most of them, but they managed to fight back and win and Conan just up and takes their last captive and is like “don’t be mean to her”
