A message from Trash affinity-Peter L. meets at noon today in my mail box: How would it be before Christmas with a really bad fantasy movie? But of course, so can I serve! How about with Conquest, a staged splatter friend Lucio Fulci Italian-English-Mexican Barbarian film from 1983, the floats not only in the usual mode of water and CONAN THE BEGINNING WAS THE FIRE, but is also borrowed from STAR WARS?
The two heroes of the Iliad and CONQUEST are Mace, both look like they would want to start any moment a Manowar tribute band. Ilias was his ancestors sent into the country to the rule of the evil sorceress Okron to put an end, and for the ancestors give him kindly and with a bow. In the sequence of images of the talking heads are made of transparent images of the landscape, what the procedure may be a kind of mythical or wants to give spherical touch, but mostly making sure that one's eyes watery in the very first few minutes.
learning, we know immediately adds the scratch brush Okron, played by the barbarian film experienced Sabrina Siani, under the name "Sabrina Sellers" and so evil, that the whole movie about naked running around - aside from one type String Tanga and a gold mask that surrounds the entire head! If Okron does not exactly ecstatic with a snake, it sends out any Henchmen to find Iliad. Henchmen are said by the way people in dog costumes and other head-fur creations certainly remember the only reason to Chewbacca, because her vocabulary is similarly pronounced.
Iliad is now so over the place and must, because such an arc really not suitable as a melee weapon, promptly at the first attack of Okrons minions from wandering fighters Mace be saved without him then says, that he has no friends. Mace collects a hawk lying on the ground and blow a bit on him, after which the falcon is proud again swinging in the air. From now on all animals of this world with Mace is friends, which eventually lead to other things, that he is saved by dolphins from the sea, where he has fallen chained to a cross. must not worry, you do not understand.
Okron send more infantry and so Ilias and Mace running around - this is about as exciting as it sounds. Fulci and his cinematographer Alejandro Alonso García catch everything, reveling with Blur, the fog sets, rotate either in complete darkness or directly into the sun. Because Ilias and Mace constantly half-naked and look at their muscles to show significant in picturesque Soft filter settings, the entire film crackles of homoerotic tension.
Fulci Because after 20 years as a contract director in 1979 with the wonderful Schlachtplatte Zombie 2 suffered the break, so to speak, he enriches these fantasy soup with all kinds of gory effects. Since is a guy's head and then opened herausgelutscht the brain, followed by two villains so motivated to pull the legs of a woman that is cut in the middle. Iliad will eventually hit by a poisoned arrow, after which point the bleeding ulcers on his body. Sabriana Siani can express themselves a severed head on her breasts.
If Ilias way eventually but can use a bow and arrow, the arrow indicates a bright neon laser pointers, the hastily done half a dozen enemies at once. For the STAR WARS Memorial effect was certainly consumed the entire Visual FX budget, because the poison arrows are flying at a different location simply the picture is painted black lines that make a number of C64 games look very realistic. We should also mention the still Synthmucke musician Claudio Simonetti of Goblin, the only pedants are sure to point out that the cosmic Gefunke absolutely not fit for the film.
Finally Okron send their Metallhenchman Zora against Mace in the battle, but the Tin Man is released with an irritated groan to simply evaporate. A few minutes later, both are in dog form in the sunset. Certainly is underlined be that is really a Okron Bitch.
Well, if that's done, then come Christmas, yes. Merry Christmas!
