Conquest (1983)

Directed by Lucio Fulci.

Starring Andrea Occhipinti and Jorge Rivero.

IMDB

Directed by Terry Marcel.

Starring Jack Palance and John Terry.

IMDB

Whoa. Total mind blow.

Palance takes his bad ass Western villain character into the Star Wars inspired Sword and Sorcery early 80's where glowing swords and Tron-like special effects meant box office gold.

Except this British helmed film was only shown in America on television and has managed to become a cult favourite thanks to it's light-hearted take on the genre and some decent F/X and set design despite a typically low budget.

Palance is great fun to watch in everything he did, whether it was Hollywood drek, Italian crime or westerns, or odd one-offs like this one.

The Dungeonmaster (1985) Full Movie!!

Directed by Charles Band and various others.

Starring Jeffrey Byron and Richard Moll.

IMDB

I only got the chance to see this film a few years ago on a specialty cable channel here in Canada, and I've been trying to find it ever since.

This is not on DVD (and may never be) but someone posted the entire film on You Tube and here it is in all its 80's "dawn of computers" glory. This is filled with too many laughs to recount here but it is a memorable experience with roles for people like Richard "Night Court" Moll and an appearance by 80's B-Grade metal band W.A.S.P.

A lot of you probably don't have the time to watch a full film on someone's blog but if you want to waste an hour, have fun with this one.
