This bargain basement sword & sorcery epic was part of a popular tide of early 80s historical adventures including Conan the Barbarian and Dragonslayer. This one, remembered as “the one with the three-bladed sword”, still has fans today — especially among those who saw it at the drive-in as kids. Although it sometimes buckles when it should swash, there’s plenty of action, fantasy and gore on display, not to mention a bevy of undraped courtesan types. NSFW.
