Come on! I can't be the only one to remember watching this as a kid and loving it. Ok, truthfully, it was much better 20 years ago but I still got a kick out of the memories. If you haven't seen it, be prepared for some true B-movie scenes and acting; A little T&A and comedy mixed with a low budget. Oh ya, bring a 6-pack of beer...you will need it.

Definitely not "Conan The Barbarian" or "Conan The Destroyer" for that matter. Didn't enjoy the look of it; the props, the costumes, the fighting cinematagraphy and the misscast characters. Had a Roger Corman feel to it, like it was thrown together in a couple of days. However, there was a good head splitting scene, along with the twisted dungeon masters ugly demise.-Stone

Amongst the on-slot of early eighties medieval fantasy productions, you could do a lot worse than "Sword and the Socerer." It is nowhere near as good as the two mack daddies in this genre, "Conan the Barbarian" and "Excalibur," but I would put it on par with say, "Dragonslayer." I especially enjoyed Lee Horsley as the hero; he has his inner Han Solo on high gear, and it actually works quite nicely. And the make-up and effects are actually pretty damn good for the time period; the sorcerer is one of the coolest looking creatures I've seen in this type of film. Pretty good through and through.

A little corny but for the time period but it's a cult classic and worth seeing.

This was classic. It was bad. But it was bad in a way where it was actually likeable. Some memorable lines in this one "Now, I poke you with MY dagger!" and great over-the-top B-Movie moments taken to heart. You can't go wrong. Don't expect some grand epic, this is not A-quality work, more like B+ being generous. Has a nice blend of medieval action, humor, and horror elements.

Not sure where to begin, this is truly the lowest grade B movie I've seen in my life but it was fun to watch. Kindergarten kids can probably act better than all the cast in this movie. This movie is acted so poorly that it is actually gooood in being so baaad. Summary: lamest acting, lamest writing, lamest directing, lamest story line, lamest attempt in cinematography. You definitely need a six pack to finish watching itÂ… However, I'm a B movies sucker and if you are too, you will enjoy it.
