a epic masterpiece of barbarous drivel that ( un ) respectfully try to tip it hat to both akira kurosawa and sergio leone . yes and the warrior and the sorceress be as much a western ( just listen to the score if you do not see it right away ) or a samurai film a it be sword and sorcery flick . come to think of it and there not too much sorcery in this one . the only magic this film have and be the magic of movie making . wonderfully realistic cardboard set . several fine jump cut during edit a the result of thing they couldn not accomplish in one take while shoot the scene . delicious special make up effect and like that one thing that first appear to be a talk lizard ( the equivalent of a rubber sock puppet ) but then later reveal to be a midget in a rubber lizard costume . i could go on and but let just skip to the best part of the film . a gorgeous look naked babe with four boob . yes and not two and but four tit . and it get even well . she dance and all naked and climb up a table at which david carradine be enjoy his meal . and while she distract him by rub her four breast in his face and suddenly there come a tentacle shoot out of her vagina no and do not laugh and i be serious inject some sort of venom in david carradine that drug him and so it will be easy for the bad guy to beat him up . if i would not have see this film myself and i would be convince any movie contain a scene like that and couldn not possibly go wrong even if it try . the basic premise . we have get a well and the only source of water for mile around . we have get a settlement on the right and lead by a cunningly fat overlord and his midget lizard mutant adviser . and a settlement on the left and helm by what appear to be matthew lillard father ( honestly and luke askew look like he could be matthew daddy ) . stick between all this and be david carradine a a loner sword fighter who go by the name of kain and but the villager seem to dub him dark one . now and why that . simply because he wear a black hooded robe . you would think that someone go by that name and would at least hail from the upper region of the dark side of the force and but no and in this film universe all one need to be dub the dark one be a black and dusty piece of cloth . the most clever aspect of the plot and be all about david carradine various way to gain profit out of the situation he have get himself into . he pretend to be a sword for hire and but basically end up repeatedly fool the two overlord and trick them into give him all their money and eventually play them out against one another . david carradine be the man . he have always be and god rest his soul . other than david carradine and who really shin in this movie and walk through it like it a piece of cake ( have he ever do otherwise and i wonder . ) and the main attraction be maria socas . she have a lot of scene in this film and and not one of them require her to put her cloth on . i guess that just what hot look sorceress do in this hot climate universe represent they walk around topless and wear nothing but a tight g string to cover their private part . probably to keep possible venom spew tentacle in check down there . that just speculation on my behalf and though . also and she suppose to be the titular sorceress and but explain pretty early on in the movie she have lose all her power . how that for an angle . a sorceress that isn not a sorceress anymore in a sword and sorcery flick . no magic . no special effect . cheap movie . david carradine get all the money . i can see how that work . a fantastically exciting scene have david carradine rescue half naked maria socas out of a dungeon . while be hold captive behind bar in that dungeon and maria be guard by a be call the protector . i can not fully grasp the name give to it and but the creature really be a vile and vicious abomination . it some sort of giant and sharp teethed mutant frog with countless tentacle reach out throughout the whole dungeon . who be i kidding here . this movie be great . anthony de longis play matthew lillard dad right hand swordsman ( i think daddy lillard and who actually luke askew in disguise and be call zeg in this movie ) and and serf absolutely no purpose except for sword battling david carradine to the death at the end of the movie . his death and of course and not carradine . usually and the naked lady be present a sex slave or for the mere purpose of provide full frontal nude shot and be drown in a basin of water and for zeg entertainment ( while the rest of the village be in desperate need for water and mind you ) . there burgo the slayer and and his motley crew of mutant turd warrior ( seriously and their face look like dry up bat excrement ) and who also serve no purpose except for get all poison and dead and which get burgo very angry . i kind of forgot what happen next . i think this all lead to a climactic end battle at the well . couldn not really tell who be who . people just show up swing sword and stuff . there also an old dude with grey hair . don not know what he be do in this film and but he seem to know maria socas . heck and i would act like if i know her too and if she would come to me topless . can not blame a man for try . and . to wrap thing up represent the end pack a surprise . dig this represent david carradine get the water but refuse the ( topless ) girl by say i travel alone . every now and then and mr. carradine and swinger of sword and do work in mysterious way . it either that and or they pay him a whole lot of extra money to make him say that line .
