@r343l Well, it *was* 1983.

#Monsterdon

That movie had sets. #monsterdon

@fabio yeah he got juiced by crusher walls when breaking into the fortress spaceship

#monsterdon #Krull

Is the Glaive all used up now?

#Monsterdon #Krull1983

#Monsterdon

Yup thank you Barclays Mercantile Industrial Finance Limited, y'all totally got the tax writeoff on this one.

@Zerofactorial :ms_eyes: #Monsterdon

Trivia: „Director Peter Yates reportedly hated making this film so much he took a vacation to the Caribbean in the middle of filming. This led to the special effects team taking a three-week break as well.“

At least that gave them time to flesh out the plot. #monsterdon

Of course in the book the king dies hours later because they didn't wait for the reviving pill to reach full potency, but grandpa didn't read that part to his sick grandson, so #Monsterdon

And they fucked off into the fucking meadow. A meadow for fucking, I mean. #Monsterdon

I think the fire-mares are just the regular horses with leg warmers on. #monsterdon

"So...anyway... I guess we're walking home? Should we? Our kingdom is kinda toast anyway, you wanna just live here now?" #monsterdon

Yay! And the few who didn't die lived happily ever after.
#Monsterdon

honestly what this movie says is that james horner only has like six tricks and he used all of 'em here but only five in star trek

#monsterdon #Krull

@moira Wait did I miss when Unibrow died? #monsterdon

He reconized Ergo's blood trail

#monsterdon

Oh, I guess there is actually one (1) other survivor of Torquil's band (the Kid Who Shames You All)

#Monsterdon

Ugh! What does it mean, and why do I care? I think even the 15-year-old me would have rolled his eyes at this. #Monsterdon

"a girl of ancient name shall become queen" so if you name your kid, like, this world's version of Katniss, she's going to hate you, right? #monsterdon

Loved it, thanks #Monsterdon

Longest explosion in the history of explosions. #monsterdon

@diazona It was clearly the fault of the GC for not confirming that the 321 concrete mix that they ordered was what they received. #Monsterdon

okay this concludes a...movie. I was kinda watching #monsterdon but also kinda not because it was too funny to watch the tag stream! thanks all!

So Nyquil was the only one of the criminals that made it?

#monsterdon #Krull

Ah, the optical effects unit. Now we know whom to blame.

#monsterdon #krull

CONTINUITY: Cheryl Leigh

That poor woman. Can you imagine having her job?

#monsterdon

Joe-Bob Briggs' review of "Krull":

https://usenet.trashworldnews.com/?thread=200726

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon I have questions about “And their son shall rule the Galaxy.” Are Fire Mares spaceworthy?

Welp thanks to @Taweret for hosting this marathon of the extended cuts of Innerspace, Monty Python/Holy Grail, the Neverending Story, Zardoz, and Princess Bride

See you next week friends!!!

#monsterdon #krull

i think that was one of my favorite schlockfests in quite a while

#monsterdon

WHAT they don't even say the boy is the Seer-Narrator? It's RIGHT THERE, talk about low-hanging fruit!

#monsterdon

#monsterdon maybe the real #krull is just the friends we made along the way.

Or they could abdicate their absolute power in favor of a socialist federation?

#Monsterdon

Well that was.... something. Night, all!

#Monsterdon #Krull

Note that the epilogue doesn't say if they'll be GOOD rulers.

#monsterdon #krull

and they fucked off into the Led Zeppelin song #monsterdon

Torquil does the math

#Monsterdon

@RamenCatholic @amyfou Me too but I am thinking of not watching all of it since I have lost track of the plot anyway.

#Monsterdon

THE END! #monsterdon

Like, literally the best movie ever made.

#Monsterdon

A girl of ancient name shall become queen!

... Ugatha?

#monsterdon

@amyfou I have 18 minutes left thanks to commercials. #Monsterdon

Is this all of the merry band that survived?

#monsterdon #krull

"Then we won!"

NO THANKS TO YOU, ERGO

#monsterdon

Gandalf to close it out

#Monsterdon

Y'all are gonna be my BRAIN TRUST!

#monsterdon #Krull

The big bad dies and the spikes just automatically reverse themselves? Was he controlling them with his mind?
#monsterdon

The Glaive isn’t working! (“Trust the Glaive!”) Oh! It’s sawing a hole!

#Monsterdon #Krull1983

ERGO! #Monsterdon

And... it all falls back down and crushes them

#monsterdon
#Krull

Ergo shows up two weeks later as the Dread Pirate Roberts. #Monsterdon

#monsterdon did the villain's lair just become a space rocket? 😅

Toto, are we in Kansas?

#Monsterdon

@wrog indeed, made damn fine time

#monsterdon #Krull

okay just how long does it take a giant space-faring castle to blow up, really?

#monsterdon

For a moment I was really hoping this would turn into sword & sorcery Zardoz with them sailing away in the Black Castle. I guess I can live with the movie disappointing me again. #Monsterdon

Did I miss something? Where did this wicked star-boomerang come from? Did he always have it?

#Monsterdon

only lyssa and cornwall survive but aren't sure who is the thing. is it you or me? let's just sit here awhile

#Monsterdon

That's a real October People exit, I tell ya

#Monsterdon #Krull

I fell asleep and woke up and now I am suddenly watching a Ray Harryhausen movie.

#Monsterdon

I do love an enemy lair getting vacuumed up after they lose effect. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🤴 ⚔️ 👰 🐉 🔮 😱

chocolate eyeball destruction

7 or 8 wifes for Liam Nesson? what he is? Truck driver?
#monsterdon

And now it's time for spankings! And then the oral sex!

#monsterdon #krull

@davesdogmaggie I have to wonder now, was the total collapse of the fortress after the bad guy died the contractor's fault or the architect's fault, or was it a design feature

#Monsterdon

@ramsey that is the name of the planet but maybe the monster appropriated the name I dunno #Monsterdon

That is a LONG way to run without stopping

#monsterdon

funny, I didn't think methane would float

#monsterdon #Krull

"Italian Location" in credits

so wait

is this a space-fantasy spaghetti western? :thonk:

#monsterdon

So the whole thing evaporates? #monsterdon

Why did they all fall down in the field at the same time?

#Monsterdon #Krull

Gravely Gravitational. #Monsterdon

Wait… do all husbands become flamethrowers on Krull? #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🤴 ⚔️ 👰 🐉 🔮 😱

How are there still 6 minutes left in this movie

Oooo, sparkles!

✨

#monsterdon

@kcarr2015 Cat Girl style #monsterdon

#monsterdon How do we inject some urgency in the escape sequence? I know- we'll just strike set while they're filming.

Cue some PA just off camera shouting "Hurry up they gotta start shooting Octopussy in here in like 3 hours!"

rip bomb ass giant eye

#Monsterdon

mmmmm practical explosion effects, let's have babies together

#monsterdon

Annnnd now the rocks are falling up. #Monsterdon #Krull

Stand back, I'll flaming hand fart a way out!

#monsterdon

@rebeld ..Sum blood? #IYKYK #Monsterdon

I SPY WITH MY GIANT EYE

#monsterdon #Krull

@Taweret What's the difference?

#Monsterdon #Krull

“Yer problem here is there’s not enough aggregate in your concrete and so it gets all powdery.”

Krull castle contractor.

#Monsterdon

maybe...you should keep moving, and not stop to watch the sfx. #monsterdon

now he's just showing off #monsterdon

Y'all can just call me Buzzsaw Lightyear now #monsterdon

@fabio @diazona
That's like the one thing I remember from seeing this as a kid. #monsterdon

And so, the hero saves the girl, and in the sequel their son becomes a Sith lord!

Thanks @Taweret for hosting!

#Monsterdon

The boy is petting the tiger. I repeat the boy is touching a dangerous beast.
That tiger is SOOO drugged out of his mind right now.
#Monsterdon #Krull

if only Ash had arm flamethrower ability in Evil Dead 2.

#monsterdon

rocks burn good I guess?

#monsterdon #Krull

Much like how "the hivemind that all dies when you kill the queen" is not a thing because the whole point of having multiple bodies is that when one dies all the rest don't, "fortress that collapses when the maker dies" is also not a thing

#Monsterdon

The fortress of the baddie must self destruct in dramatic fashion upon defeat of said baddie we must NOT violate the Sacred Tropes #Monsterdon

colwyn's pants are something else lol

#monsterdon

@msh Isn't the monster's name Krull?

#Monsterdon #Krull

@amyfou Mike Tyson is going to be pissed! #WrongMovie #Monsterdon

After this, I feel we are finally ready for Strippers vs Werewolves. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1702009/ #monsterdon

@ColesStreetPothole #Monsterdon Performance anxiety?

Sure, the power of your love can stop the Beast but can it save us from a collapsing castle?

#Monsterdon
