1. Robert Palmer's back-up singers from "Addicted to Love" got new gigs ... and new dresses.

2. Medieval peasant farmers had large barns and multi-acre farms.

3. It takes magic to fight magic.

4. Medieval peasant women had clean well-cut hair and perfect teeth - despite living several days journey from the nearest town.

5. People leaving on long journeys in Medieval times didn't take any luggage or pack any food ... and left the fires burning in their fireplaces and stoves.

6. Witchslayers have advanced technology beyond even what the witches have.

7. Powerful witch queens don't live in castles or palaces, preferring instead to dwell in damp caves.

8. Shannen Doherty has not aged well.

Wow, this is terrible. Note to Syfy: Don't start off a film like this by showing two "good" characters cold-bloodedly torturing and murdering an "evil" character. No number of sad flashbacks of their awful pasts will make me like them after that.

Who cares whether you like a character in a movie. Where did you A-hole get the idea that every principle character in a movie has to be likeable?

All women have always had clean well-cut hair and perfect teeth - despite living in 3rd world or ancient times.

Under the right conditions, Shannen Doherty looks like Snooki.

Four crystal arrows are all you'll ever need.

Medieval bluetooth used two blue crystals and is worn around the neck.

It's hard to make medieval visors with scanning ability not look ridiculous.

Fingerless leather gloves and red satin dresses are the height of medieval fashion.

Shoulder wounds bleed but chest wounds do not. In fact, should you be hit with a witch blade in the chest just try to hold on for a minute or two and you'll be fine.

Magic does not make you strong, character does.

Never trust a warlock.

That said, give a murderous warlock a chance but kill any random suspected witch found in the woods immediately. Do this, even after allying yourself with two women who have witch powers.

Mockbusters should be shown closer to the release date of their parent material: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1428538/.

You wouldn't have to go to the nearest town to own a pair of scissors and a comb.

As for teeth, in centuries past people wanted to keep their teeth and gums clean, their breath fresh and their teeth white, just like people do today. And they found different tools with which to do it, depending on the location/culture.

Also, back in the day, there were no processed food items, fast-food or take-out. The diet in those times consisted of all natural and unprocessed foods, such as wheat, rice, vegetables and fruits. These natural and pure foods were quite safe since they did not contain any preservatives or chemicals, and they contained nutrients and vitamins that made the teeth stronger and more resistant against cavities and other dental infections.

RE: "Shannen Doherty has not aged well."

I thought she looked quite shining for being 40 during shooting.
