Why would you believe there would be a sequel to a financial and critical disaster three decades later?

Mainly because there is a generation of 40-something 'born in the early 1970's) comic and RPG gamers who grew up with such a trashy wonderful film and bought it on VHS and dvd innumerable times! Done it myself 3 times, with the last the Special Edition. I'd love to see Hawk released on Blu Ray with a commentary track from the remaining actors having a good time with it. :)

This looks like it is going ahead now.

They wanted to make a medieval Fistful of Dollars. They ended up with a cult hit that triggered the sword and sorcery boom. Now, Hawk the Slayer is set to return ? with better fights and special effects, but still plenty of cheese

Back in 1980, Terry Marcel kicked off the cinematic sword and sorcery boom that would give us Excalibur, Conan, Dragonslayer and Willow with a low-budget opus called Hawk the Slayer. Shot in six weeks in Buckinghamshire for £600,000, it featured the handsome but wooden John Terry as Hawk, who ? with his flying ?mindsword? and mismatched allies (witch, elf, dwarf, giant) ? sets out to rescue a nun from his own deformed brother Vultan, played by Jack Palance at his scenery-chewing worst. Now, 35 years on, Marcel is finally preparing the follow-up: Hawk the Hunter. It?s not quite the longest a British director has waited to make a sequel to a cult hit,
