I loved The Sword & the Sorcerer as a kid. I wonder if I can find it now.

I absolutely agree.headspice wrote: Clint Eastwood's spaghetti Westerns, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, etc.
I own both the DVD and the soundtrack CD. Apparently Albert Pyun eventually got around to making a cheap-looking sequel ("Tales of an Ancient Empire") that also features Lee, but the reviews on Amazon are so bad that I can't see my way through to watch it.Blood Axe wrote:Bilgewriggler wrote:Two words: Lee Horsely.

Sad to hear about the S&S sequel. As a kid, I kept waiting and waiting for that movie to come out.reverenddak wrote:The newish Solomon Kane is awesome movie BTW, hope it gets released here soon. It's better than the new Conan movie.
From what I've seen and heard, most people didn't like John Carter. Which I don't understand because as an adventure film in the Appendix N style it really works! It's not a very good adaptation, but then neither is Lord of the Rings and yet those movies are lavished with love and affection.onearmspence wrote:Yep… disappointing.reverenddak wrote:John Carter let me down pretty bad, I don't even want to talk about it. It's not as bad as the 2010 Conan, but it ain't good.
I find it strange that they have this movie that many folks just loved but for some reason they won't sell it to folks in the States.reverenddak wrote:The newish Solomon Kane is awesome movie BTW, hope it gets released here soon. It's better than the new Conan movie.
I saw the film about a year ago and enjoyed it for what it was. Worth watching for sure.So this might be something interesting or nothing at all but as many of you now know, Solomon Kane is coming out in around 25 ‘key’ cities in the US when it’s released in late September. I don’t yet know if this number is locked or which key cities are being targeted but I suppose we can all take a guess at that. But clearly however you slice it, that’s quite a limited release and all of us involved would love it to reach out further. But only if there’s a demand. So what the distributors asked me was if there any places in the US I’d really like Kane to play. I’m planning to tour with the movie and beat the drum for some heroic fantasy but I don’t know the US well enough to really understand where Solomon Kane might be wanted or where it will play well enough to generate a worthwhile audience.
Nothing may come of this but if you folks out there who like the movie and are US-based could have a think about where could be worth considering then leave a message and I’ll talk to the distributors to see if I can bring the Kane to your town.

You are my hero for today!
Tales From the Fallen Empire has a huge Corman influence.
This. I looked for the +1 button, but this ain't G+.Vanguard wrote:I was realizing this while reading Swords Against Death, but there has never really been a solid fantasy movie in the spirit of appendix N. Someone mentioned that it doesn't allow for heroes, but I don't think that explains it. I mean, we have plenty of movies with no clear heroes. I just think fantasy is not seen as a valid genre by a lot of the top people in the movie business. OR the book business for that matter.
Hahah, nah. Depends on what your definition of Appendix N is. Since a lot of the books were before the advent of TV, and the early days of movies, appendix N "movies" could mean anything that influences your "D&D" gaming.cthulhudarren wrote:I'll probably get hated for this...
I maintain that the Harry Potter series is very Appendix N. The monsters are unique, the races are very different from traditional D&D, and magic is very different even if there are no "patrons" involved for the magic.
