Trying to figure out the name of a movie
Trying to figure out the name of a movie
It was a sword and sorcery type film from the 80s that was on TV. The protagonist had a magic bow, and I think the antagonist had a magic axe? And the magic came from some tattoos or something they had on them that glowed. Anyone know what movie this was?
Huh. So this sounded interesting and I went searching around for it.
From your description, it seems like it's a movie called The Archer: Fugitive From The Empire (also known as The Archer and the Sorceress).
This clip (note: spoilers because it's part of the final battle) has the big bad with a magic axe (I've timestamped it because it's a relatively long), and it looks like the power comes from glowing stones they use, but I'm not certain.
Will have to see if I can find a good source online. Looks like it got a pretty limited release on VHS and DVD.
There was another option, but I ruled it out when I saw the stuff above. In case you're interested, the other one was called Conquest, which seems like a very bizarre movie featuring some odd BDSM themes and a magic bow that has sci-fi laser pistol pew pew sound effects for some reason.
THAT'S IT! Thank you so much. It's been driving me nuts for years. I used to love this movie as a kid!
Was it "The Sword and The Sorcerer"?
No, it wasn't. But that 3 bladed sword was bad ass!
