I once came across a reference to a sequel in (I think but don't quote me) a Leonard Malton movie book. Has anybody else come across it or heard of it?

This was an actual sequel. I might have to track down the book I saw it in and find out for certain. I know certain films list sequel titles in the credits but the sequels never make it to the screen (big or small). There was nothing listed in the Hawk the Slayer credits but I'm positive I saw something about a sequel.

I think you may be confusing this with another horrible fantasy film from the eighties, Gor. It also features Jack Palance, which is referenced in the Leonard Maltin book. I have that book in front of me right now, and he makes no reference to this movie having a sequel.
shareI know it isn't Gor. I was never a fan of the books so I wouldn't have seen the film. Which version of Maltin do you have? They might have corrected an error in later editions by removing a reference to a movie that doesn't exist...

I was hoping there would be a sequel...they sure set things up for a sequel at the end when the Woman tells Hawk and Gort there are more evildoers in the world, and that phantom thing carries Voltan's body out of the mausoleum. Oh well.
shareThis is incredibly confusing. I'm really not sure what to think. Back in the '80s I watched a movie on late-night TV that had a party of adventurers, one of which was an elf that could fire a gazillion arrows simply by doing a lot of rapid cuts to the film (ie. you never saw his arm pull back or draw another arrow, the film just snipped-out bits so it looked like he was firing arrows like a machine gun). Now here's the weird part. The movie I saw had a sequel, which got aired on the same late-night movie show either the next day or the next week (this would've been the mid-80s, probably around 85 or so, give or take a year).
So, if Hawk doesn't have a sequel (not counting the 2009 rumor for Hawk the Hunter), what the hell could I have seen??? Something using the same bow gimmick, with a similar setup (party of fantasy adventurers on a quest), and that had two movies made roughly back-to-back.
If that rings any bells for anyone, PLEASE post the info. Been driving me crazy for years.
This isn't going to help much but I do have a vague memory of reading in some film magazine about a sequel to Hawk - The Slayer, it was going to be something like Hawk - The Conqueror (I'm sure that's not right but something like that)
99.9% certain it never came out though.
