hawk the slayer be one of those movie that look good through the rise tinted glow of nostalgia than it really be . in fact it a cheap and badly act and stupid movie with rubbish effect that must have be write and direct and edit by a 5 year old . jack palance have some kind of eye patch and try to make up for the wooden acting of everyone else by overact to a degree that even the most over the top panto performer would be embarrass by . bernard breslaw play the giant without any kind of fx to make him look taller and clobber the baddie with his plastic hammer like a kind of sword and sorcery timmy mallett . wacaday . most of the cast and the director never do any thing else memorable . awful movie with a ridiculous soundtrack .
