In the original version of this scene, they had Adam Ant clopping coconut shells together instead of real horses

#monsterdon

the power of the glaive? oh you mean a polearm with a single edged blade approximately two meters long?

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon aha, a quest

I also wish I knew if I was the right man to retrieve the Glaive.

#monsterdon

The power of the Glaive?

So… a pole arm?

The whiny wheeping of "I have no kingdom!" feels hilarious in a scene that is trying to be Shakespearean. I think? Or the echoy stage is just throwing me off on the vibes they are trying for.
#Monsterdon #Krull

the power of...The Glade? #monsterdon

True Facts: They had to reshoot a bunch of these scenes, so some of it is shot in Italy on the mountainsides, and some of it is shot against a matte painting. Look for it!

#monsterdon

@wohali thats like the opposite of street fighter the movie where crew members got heat sickness and a producer (i think) had a heat related heart attack

#monsterdon

Damn royal whelp.

#Monsterdon

Oh, so you 'can't go with me'

#Monsterdon

Watching via the archive so unfortunately no subtitles, and I'm missing so much of the dialogue because I don't understand what the hell they're saying. 😞

#Monsterdon #Krull

Pull yourself together you sexy hairy sniveling boy we need a KING! #Monsterdon

A GLAIVE IS A POLEARM

FOR FUCKS SAKE

#monsterdon #krull

Colwyn failed against the Slayers once already while defending in his own castle, with dozens of soldiers on his side. He just needs one more shot, this time in their castle and with only what allies he happens to find. It has to be a million-to-one chance!

#Monsterdon #Krull

"All those losing a daughter, raise your hand."

#Monsterdon

If he's wounded on a staircase, I would think it would be more comfortable to move him to level ground before treating his boo-boos #monsterdon

You came to find a king, but instead, you found a cry baby, I think.

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon The Slayers and the Beast are a killer band!

The Glaive, not so much.

You guys are gonna make mom pee on my couch from laughter lmao #monsterdon #krull

that's okay horner has all the cymbals

#monsterdon #Krull

Glave Quest!

#krull #monsterdon

I would have been throwing stuff in that hat. #monsterdon #krull

'Your kingdom may be bigger than you know! Here…: this Jack Chick pamphlet will explain _everything_.'

#monsterdon

I can see this being a Romeo and Juliet fanfic film if the premise was tweaked a little. 😅

#Monsterdon #Krull1983

Give him a drink. That'll fix him right up. At least that's what I learned from #catgirl1957 #Monsterdon #Krull

The beast who is their leader! #Monsterdon

IT'S REVERSE LUKE QUEST! #monsterdon

James Horner

Went on to score "The Wrath of Khan" -- which you can tell, if you listen...

#Monsterdon #Krull

"I am Ynir, the exposition guy" #monsterdon

Man can you imagine putting Vicks Vap-O-Rub on an open wound? No wonder he woke right up.

#monsterdon #krull

@Louisa
I heard Masters of the Universe had one of the biggest sets for Skeletor's thrones room. Took up 2 adjacent sound stages or some crap.
#Monsterdon #Krull

#Monsterdon technically that’s Mr. Lavender Pussypants to you Sir!

to be fair, he didn't make it to his wedding night. so he may still be "a boy." #monsterdon

Truly, he has no kingdom. There is NO ONE outside that castle!

#Monsterdon #KRULL

Dude, he just *gave* you the kingdom. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

#Monsterdon #Krull

"I came to find a king, and I find a boy instead" is a pretty hard line

I like him

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon 🤴 ⚔️ 👰 🐉 🔮 😱

The chestnut horsie just standing around looks like a sweetie. He's just hanging out and listening to everything.

This man is clearly starving! Get him some scenery to chew, stay! #monsterdon

Eddington being a mamby pamby crybaby.

#monsterdon #krull

@hollie I understand it's partly filmed in Italy. Mussolini had some massive, futuristic buildings built.

#monsterdon #Krull

Was The Princess Bride referencing this scene with the torture scene, maybe?

#Monsterdon #Krull

#Monsterdon old guy has a bottle of vick's vap-o-rub

#Monsterdon Our Wise old Wizard is established as Exposition Guy.

Hey, men are allowed to cry, Wizard.

Get in the robot Colwyn. #Monsterdon #Krull

Old Ben, the healer. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon My kingdom for a horse!

Was not expecting Flava Flav to join us #monsterdon #krull

Is that a chest merkin? #monsterdon

That actor horse in the background is being VERY brave and VERY still, despite all the shouting. #monsterdon

Yeah, Freddie Jones is 100% too good for this film. #Monsterdon

The Pendant of Krull!

#krull #monsterdon

15 minutes in we got intro descendo

#Monsterdon

Dude, his dad just died, let him fucking cry for a bit, jeez

#Monsterdon

Gratuitous Cowyn chest.

#monsterdon

What car is that hood ornament from?

#monsterdon #krull

STAY STILL! Otherwise your new boob won't grow in properly!

#monsterdon #krull

"Why are they beating their chests with their swords?"

"M'lady, Remington person shavers have not yet been invented."

#Monsterdon

Colwin is a a name that has a weird mouth feel.
#Monsterdon #Krull

okay wait

how didn't the (future? current? king?) not die #monsterdon

Meat-paste looking medication applied by an old man with his bare fingies on a strip of cloth doesn't seem very hygienic.

#monsterdon

If they have blasters why do they bother with swordplay? Am I supposed to understand this? #monsterdon

Wow, he really does look like one of the Chrises

#Monsterdon

I knight thee Sir Flav. #Monsterdon

I wanted the weapon to be a “krull.” Do Krullians live on Krull?

#Monsterdon #Krull1983

"You've come down from the granite mountains?"

"Yes, I am needed now. Your father wanted you to have this..."

#monsterdon

stay still THERE, you idiot. THERE. WHERE YOU ARE.

#monsterdon #Krull

"I am Ynir! From the planet Dagobah."

#Monsterdon

Are we going to "'tis just a flesh wound" this shit?

#Monsterdon

ACTING! #monsterdon

lookit that manly hairy chest. in case you forgot it was 1983.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon they set their giant meatballs on fire :(

Time to Krullify him with the magic Krulling Paste!

#krull #monsterdon

Ah, Tiger Balm. #monsterdon

#Monsterdon The king is dead! Long live…

… um. Bit of a problem there…

@miriamrobern #Krull rules.

#Monsterdon

Obi-Wan stand-in here I guess

#Monsterdon

Mm, toe jam unguent. #Monsterdon

Fresh underwear time

#Monsterdon

Well at least we don't have to listen to Naga the White Serpent laugh. #Monsterdon

horse just all "whelp, I'm a horse"

#monsterdon #Krull

I am pretty sure that I saw this in the theaters. #Monsterdon (getting started late) my recollection was that I remember thinking it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been.

The production value of Krill is top notch by #Monsterdon standards and I appreciate the swashbuckling and battling and booms and flames and melodramatic utterances...I approve so far

I am not a gambler but the Slayers seem to have just about every advantage vs the poorly trained guys with swords, odds-wise.

#krull #monsterdon

the mobile fortress of the Slayers is giving me CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK vibes

#Monsterdon

TUSKEN RAIDERS! #monsterdon

oh they've stolen the fair maiden, whatever shall happen for the rest of the movie?

#monsterdon

BRB replacing the audio with Monty Python And The Holy Grail audio.

#monsterdon #krull

Oh no, he was shot by Boba Fett! #monsterdon

Attica! Attica! Attica! Attica!

#monsterdon

Hold on. Who are we rooting for? The slayers blasts are blue and others spark red.

#Monsterdon

He poked that guy right in the elbow! #Monsterdon #krull

Looks like Odysseus is home Telemachus

#Monsterdon

Dude your castle sucks. No guards at the gates, and your enemy just blows the doors off and walks in. i'm not sure what your doors were meant to do against people with laser blasters. You KNEW they had laser blasters, right?
#monsterdon

NONE of these slayers look even a little like Buffy

#monsterdon #Krull

#Monsterdon Our heroine is kidnapped by guys in black, strangely ornamented armor. Hey, some folks are into that.

So how’s the big new alliance going so far? #Monsterdon

Red Wedding. #Monsterdon

Bingo already? #Monsterdon

is this Jus Prima Nocta? #monsterdon
