Hawk the Slayer is a 1981 Fantasy movie starring Jack Palance as the villain Voltan, and John Terry as Hawk. Voltan and Hawk are brothers, and Hawk steals Voltan's love interest before the start of the film. This movie depicts the "battle" between the two. Good vs. Evil.
This movie was bad. Acting was bad, the effects were bad, the story was bad, the characters were bad. The only thing I enjoyed about the movie was Jack Palance's performance, and the fact I recognized John Terry as being Christian Shepard, Jack Shepard's dad on Lost. I consider Jack Palance to be a "real" actor, so to see him running around with a helmet, and magic, and elves is very humorous. He plays a good villain.
The action was no good, the effects were no good, and there was not even any 80's gratuitous sex either.
Cannot say it was a disappointing film, mainly because I went in know if was going to be bad.
If you expect a bad movie, and get a bad movie, it is an okay movie.
3 out of 5 stars.
