This is a story of Heroic Deeds and the bitter
struggle for the triumph of Good over Evil and of a wondrous Sword
wielded by a mighty Hero when the Legions of Darkenss stalk the land.
Who is responsible for this run on sentence of
questionable tense. For this we must thank the genius of Terry Marcel
and Harry Robertson. The men who wrote Hawk the Slayer.
Hawk the Slayer is the best fantasy movie ever made.
Sure, Conan, Lord of the Rings, and Army of Darkness are great
flicks, but they just don't hold up to the spirit of Hawk. No other
movie more accurately captures the feel of a Dungeons and Dragons
game. Hawk is the consummate Paladin, brave, courageous and a great
warrior. The giant is the perfect giant, and what better name to give
a giant than Gort. But the best character has to be Crow who makes
Legolas look like a barrel rider from laketown when it comes to
portraying a true elf.

After seeing the film I made sure that all subsequent
