#monsterdon boy king: *holds up the glaive, as if to throw it at... nothing? Like, off the edge of the mountain?*
old man: Do not use it until you need it!
We need to have a talk about the value of practice and the virtues of muscle memory.
Some of the art direction on this movie is REALLY COOL.
#Monsterdon #Krull
so do all who live to see such times, frodo
"There are Kingly virtues other than bravery!"
This continues to be the best character in the movie.
That quest for thing wasn't much of a quest. #monsterdon
oh yeah this guy lmao
#monsterdon
"Old man, it's the 1980s, and I have a ninja throwing star. You sure as hell know I'm going to throw this thing!"
It's....a ninja star?
The eye of not-Sauron
Cat claws OUT
#Monsterdon
This is the most intricate letter opener I've ever seen.
"I too was an adventurer, until I took a glaive to the knee"
WHAT WAS THAT #monsterdon #krull
"When you can take the fire from my hand, bed-hopper, you will be ready to leave the movie..."
#Monsterdon so is there gonna be a training montage with the Glaive? Does he have to earn the glaive's respect?
"You have been brought here for a marriage. I am the king you will choose."
[Looks right to see Wario]
WAAAAAH!!!
#Monsterdon oh god is the glaive the ninja star
We totally already bingoed this thing, and we're not even a half hour into a two-hour film.
Finally, a switchblade that you'll cut yourself opening no matter how you hold it. #monsterdon
Switch-star!
anyway cool sprocket for your kingbike or whatever
He clan worships the "starfish" if you know what I mean #monsterdon
That's some mall ninja shit if I've ever seen any....
@davesdogmaggie I would watch a movie about the bakery that makes 5-armed krullers
Sponsored by Shake and Bake! #monsterdon
#Monsterdon *wife turns to me* "they spent a lot of money flying them to this place to film the climbing. they had to get their money's worth on the runtime"
I have the magical deep-fried starfish!
I miss mountains. I want to wake up to these views every day. #Monsterdon
This is a glaive #Monsterdon
Not a single hair singed off his forearm, what kind of Lava is this?
[red intensifies]
"It's ok...I'm Engaged....we can do this while we are in this stage....funny, huh?"
#Monsterdon I see we have reached the Flint Water Treatment Facility.
First, he cries over a starfish. Then, he stares at a crack between two rocks. Is the production team trying to tell me something? #monsterdon
Truly he has the spirit of Kirk within him.
@CactuarJoe Y'know I could just turn off my monitor and it'd be 100% legit epic, no notes
Guy that just watched โFree Soloโ: Hold my glaiveโฆ
#monsterdon
I am enjoying the mountain-climbing montage. If it goes on much longer, thoughโฆ
The Cliffs of Insanity!
#Monsterdon #Krull
The rock climbing montage we all wanted. #monsterdon
Omg I can't even with this soundtrack. All the star trek movies called and were like: You need to calm down. #monsterdon
Those pants sure are ... umm ... shiny.
Those pants are a choice
#monsterdon
#Monsterdon Rocks fall, nobody dies. Epic music wasted on some pretty basic rock climbing.
True Facts: This climbing scene was done without safety harnesses because they couldn't get them out of shot. Absolutely not something you could get away with today.
this planet's REI has a really nice climbing wall
OH HELL YEA A ROCK SLIDE SCENE
It has been so many many years since I've seen one of those. I *love* that sequence. It's so pragmatically lazy but can do an okay job conveying some drama if it's established well and the prop rocks are done with sufficient care (and you have good crew running them)
man i wanna be a shitty little Welsh twunk in shiny pants...
We used all the high brass in the first 10 minutes or so. The brass section is resting now, and the strings take the field.
#monsterdon
Would climbing rocks in those pants be a hinderance? Feels like it's constricting
Tight striped pants were the fashion at the time
I forgot how unyieldingly intrusive this soundtrack is #monsterdon
As much as I'm digging the soundtrack, I don't know if we needed the heavenly choir during the scene where Colwyn trips on some rocks. #monsterdon
Must be rough wearing a black leather shirt in the sun
If you can dodge a rock you can dodge a ball!
Dumbass triggered an avalanche... careful on the scree!
The Glave is that flying 5-pointed thing
#Monsterdon That's right! You neg that kid! Toxic masculinity at him until he gets off his ass!
True fact: They're actually talking about a "Glade" air freshener, but the pronunciation was twisted by the passing of time.
#monsterdon, is that all matte painting or are there mountains like that?
@starkraving666
Sounds pretty good to me. I'm watching on cable (maybe from MovieAnywhere not sure ๐คทโโ๏ธ)
#Monsterdon #Krull
Feels like we could've saved a lot of lives if we had started glaiving months ago #monsterdon
"Am I that man?"
Generally speaking if you have to ask, the answer is no >_> #Monsterdon
Wait, why go to this Black Fortress? Why wouldn't the Slayers just leave?
there is now a Noun that must be sought by the alleged hero
WE'RE GONNA FIGHT MR BEAST! #monsterdon
i think this movie is two hours long because they spend 30 total minutes on lingering shots of mountains. #monsterdon
OOH I KNOW THIS! Use a mirror! #monsterdon
Oh, that cross-ish medallion is a symbol of the King's authority?
this castle's builders must've been shaped like their doorways, like in forbidden planet
"Ynyr, I don't know anyone by that name, but there is a... Colonel Mustard.. " โจ #monsterdon
"I'll find men on the way."
We'll make a stop at Accountemps. #Monsterdon
When you're grieving over your father make sure the camera gets a good look at your flexed abs
Ooh lasers! #monsterdon
To lose a father is a misfortune. To lose a bride on the same day looks like carelessness.
Itโs his girlfriendโs starfish! #monsterdon
Obi Wan Kenobi is like a martial arts sensei, so we should have a wise mentor too... he could be like, a space... British Victorian colonel.
I guess that blaster was set to stun.
Sir. Put those nips away, sir. This is a Wendy's.
Abs, at least you have abs. #monsterdon
MY SPIROGRAPH I THOUGHT I'D LOST IT FOREVER
Freddie Jones who was Thurfir Hawat in Lynch's Dune. #Monsterdon
This is a littl well done for my cheesy 80's sci-fi tastes. I prefer mine more medium rare....#monsterdon
WHY IS THERE A FAKE HORSE LOL
Edit: oh okay maybe not fake at all. It was *remarkably* still in that first passing shot though
Swash the buckles!
Robin some hoods?
#Monsterdon #Krull
It's just a flesh wound.
omg! Bingo in under 20 minutes! This has got to be a record or something! #monsterdon
Is... everyone... dead? Movie over?
...Oh, he's alive. Dammit. #Monsterdon
After this, I don't want to hear anyone mocking Imperial Storm Troopers ever again.
It's beloved character actor Freddie Jones!
#Monsterdon ๐คด โ๏ธ ๐ฐ ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฑ
I'll bet those horsies enjoyed all of this except the face pulling part
Huh the home grown Krull knights suits of armor are kinda high tech looking.
#Monsterdon #Krull
Hope, Liam Neeson bites it in this film. #monsterdon.
It's the least he can do.
True facts: They set up and practiced all of the fight choreography before they had the costumes done.
And once they had the costumes, no one could move to actually DO the choreography anymore.
OOOOOPS.
When you've got stage fighting on your resume, you find any excuse to swing from a rope
I bet the stunt double got hurt from that fall on the stairs. It looks like it hurt.
