Very funny comments, by the way! I will admit the movie was not the best movie made. Compared to Dune, or LOTR, or perhaps Crusader, or whatever, it is definitely Low budget. But it is NOT a 'B' movie, nor is is as terrible as everyone is saying.
I am a re-enactment actor, and fighter, wearing usually 90 pounds of plate armour and chain whilst doing it, and it is refreshing to see a movie that takes this into account, however, the fact that Westender doesn't wear a helmet ANNOYS THE HELL OUT OF ME! You would NEVER see that Historically. It just isn't sensible, with all that metal flying around, and besides...historically, Knights wouldn't have Long hair either! Just to make the Hero look good, is NOT a good reason to be this blisteringly Dumb! That said...the fight sequences were kinda dorky...but not nearly as dorky as some Big budget films, and some of the moves in this show were actually real! Nice Guards, real type dueling, German and Italian moves...very nice to see!
Do not judge the film with others...enjoy it for what it is...Legend with Tom Cruise was worse....Lady Hawk was great, but lacked this films imagery and music....
Quit complaining about it, and just enjoy the flic...it wasn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be.
I was thinking I was very fortunate to have found it in a video store....it's nice to have something Indy on my shelf. I am a Canadian as well, and one day I hope to make a film like this one. It will have better fight sequences, better Armour, Better Music (Irish), and a better plot line and acting.....but it will also cost me my life savings...but worth every penny! Why? Because I told my story and made it visual for the entertainment of others. Who could ask for more? Kudos to those who did so with this pic! www.livingbackwards.ca
