Welcome to cheesy movie Friday's. Every couple Fridays, I will pick a movie that I find...well...cheesy. Don't get offended if you loved the movie, being cheesy doesn't necessarily means it was bad....just...well....cheesy.

All cheese aside, lets get started shall we...

So Krull takes place in some far off galaxy...a couple galaxies away from Tatooines im assuming. It all begins as some mutated deathstar like ship slowly approaches a planet.....a planet called....Krull...

Apparently some creature or thing known simply as "The Beast" and his slayers invade Krull and start taking shit over.

Some fairy looking dude named Colwyn prepares to marry this princess to join their kingdoms and unleash hell on the invaders....unfortunately the slayers spoil the fun and kidnap the princess. Sounds mighty familiar doesnt it?

Well it get's better. The fairy is nursed back to health by some scruffy old dude who schools him on this ninja star like weapon that can be used to slay the beast.

To get the weapon he has to retrieve it from some mountain. He gets the mystical weapon

and begins his adventure to save Leia..errrr...Lyssa.

On his journey he meets a bunch of people which become a part of his welfare merry men.

and whores in woods. A young Liam Neeson joins his crew but is green and not the shit kicker he ends up becoming later in life.

To cut to the chase, they have to speed up their journey and are told about magical Fire Mares which shoot fire out their hooves and can fly. Yup.

They rip it to the dark fortress and start to move in but are met by more stormtroopers...errrr, i mean slayers.

Most of them make it in safe thanks to the Cyclops who gets squished between the closing stone doors cause the merry men take their sweet time.

They fight their way through, some die, some make it and the hero finds his girl, battles and defeats the beast quite easily,

loses his stupid ninja star

but saves the galaxy.

This movie was like a mashup of lord of the rings, star wars, robin hood and et...et just for the flying horse scene. If you see it youll know.

I seen it when I was a kid and just recently rewatched it. I chuckled through most of it so I suppose it served its purpose.

If you want to watch a classic 80s cheesefest, be sure to check out Krull!!!!

May the glaive be with you!

changelings, flea market Liam Neeson and Little Nicky, what more could a 7 year old ask for?

*edit* and that stupid ninja star has a Freddy Krueger vibe going for it

All us kids were trying our best to make our own makeshift versions of it back in the day. Taking out eyes and making each other bleed all the way home.
 
I remember catching this on TV in the early 2000’s maybe 2002 or 2003 and in the commercial advertising that it was going to be on emphasized that it starred Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane. Ignore the fact that neither guy features prominently, but they’re the only two guys in the movie that 99% of people would be able to name or recognize.

Also, the movie’s score is about 90% recycled from Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan.
 
Speaking of rip-offs, this reminds me of the movie DNA, a cheesy low quality copy of Predator.
 
This film is a good representation of what I loved as a kid. Even back then I remember thinking the effects were bad. But I still loved it. 1983. I just watched Logan's Run (1976). Total Sci Fi Cheese. Like an elongated episode of Buck Rogers or Star Trek. This is my cup of tea. Thank you TS, good thread.

It's crazy how many movies I seen as a kid that I thought were just amazing. Then as I got older, well, obviously my taste changed here and there but I never forgot those early movies and what they meant to me back then.

tbh at first i thought it was Kull and was wondering where Kevin Sorbo was....

This looks like a decent movie.
