in the very beginning of the movie and kull ( hercules ) be attempt to join an army and but fail . this be odd and because he seem to be a foreigner since he seem to know nothing of the local culture . therefore and why would he try to join an army of a country he never heard of . the king have go mad and be kill all his son and and kull stop him by kill him . the army i already mention be all make up of men of royal blood ( i. e. the king relative ) so and since all the king direct heir be dead and there be some confusion a to which one of the soldier be the rightful heir . it most likely one of two of the soldier and and of course they themselves be somewhat bias a to which one it be . however and the king and with his die breath and decree that kull be the next king . and that the first three minute of the movie . ( or might have even be the first minute ) . this be basically a low budget sword and sorcery movie . the culture isn not establish enough and nothing really explain about kull motif other than like ax and not liking slavery and and basically the whole movie be alright but not great . see this movie if you just wan na see some low budget sword and sorcery and or if you like to watch movie for the purpose of laugh at them . if you like good movie and i suggest lord of the ring .
