There aren't many (if any) redeeming qualities to this film. It is poorly written and poorly acted, with camera work that is mundane at best, and a so-so story. I had hoped for a fun medieval/fantasy film, but this was almost too lame to watch to the end. And the ending was the final insult. If you like really cheesy B movies, maybe you'll enjoy this, but it wasn't at all what I was hoping for.

Good Costumes, mediocre acting, bad action, lousy script. It does have an amusment factor though. We didn't turnit off, instead we watched it and poked fun at it ... It was good for a lagh or two. BUT when the guy who dies in the sword fight has the sword obviously tucked under his arm and is groaning and "dying" with no blood ... well need I say more?? They must have had a budget of about $10. The Princess and her guards have to push the cart with her dowry... supposedly they have been attacked and I guess that the horses were killed. Not that we see this .. instead we get a voice over and see them running thru the woods pushing the cart...

This laid back style was popular in the 50's & 60's. A TV break for the hard working housewife or kids after school. Like Star Trek, Prof Gadget, Flintstones, Dobie Gillis, Arthur, Gargoyles, Scrooge Mc Duck, Batman etc etc etc . Dumb relaxing fare. Countless movies released bi or tri weekly to movie theaters in the 20's, 30's, 40's etc were like this. The swashbuckling/sword fighting genre often with some music was a perennial favorite. Funny, casual entertainments. Very surprising to see one released for 2000. Maybe an in joke. Mathias Hues looks very good in this towering over everyone in a pirate costume. He delivers his signature one liner (I come in Peace) This time he says "Good bye". There is the village girl, the queen. the princess & maid, sidekick swashbuckler girl, daughter father duo, a snippet of humor from Shakespeare and various sword fights. Maybe a personal homage to the whole genre from the director.
