I introduced several friends to Hawk the Slayer last night. One of my friends said it was the third worst movie he'd ever seen after MANOS The Hands of Fate and The Room. He went on to say that it made Jason X look like The Godfather Part II. In short, they all loved the movie, especially its weird disco synth soundtrack. When I explained the theory that it takes place on Arda (LotR planet that eventually becomes our Earth) in an age after the third one (Hobbit + LotR) they were roaring with laughter.
