Hawk the younger brother was destined for greatness possessing gifts of strength honor duty & courage. Voltan the elder was a villain capable of great cruelty. It will take both sword & sorcery to bring the evil voltan to justice. Studio: Henstooth Video Release Date: 11/05/2002 Starring: Jack Palance John Terry Run time: 90 minutes Rating: Pg Amazon.com: Among its many dubious distinctions, Hawk the Slayer is the only sword-and-sorcery movie to feature Silly-String® as a medieval weapon! This splendidly wretched British fantasy also boasts such magical wonders as an automatic fast-action crossbow and an archer who shoots instantly replenished arrows in rapid succession, never missing his target! At the lowest ebb of his career, Jack Palance is gleefully hammy as Voltan, the disfigured (i.e., irredeemably evil) elder brother of Hawk (John Terry), who swears vengeance after Voltan kills their father, kidnaps a virginal abbess (Annette Crosbie), and threatens a nunnery for ransom. Add an ultracheesy '80s soundtrack (imagine Rick Wakeman playing roller disco) and some respectable British thespians (Patrick Magee, Roy Kinnear, Harry Andrews), and you've got a poor man's Willow with a dash of Krull, laughably awful and surprisingly entertaining. Fully aware of its own low-budget absurdity, Hawk the Slayer is a Bad Movie classic, guaranteed to satisfy connoisseurs of garbage. (Trivia note: Terry survived his titular heroics and was guest-starring on the popular TV series 24 when this DVD was released in late 2002.) --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I love this movie.Its as good as it gets. Makes me want to dance naked with a sword. Rating: - FOR GREAT JUSTICE!Oh Wow. I have been actively seeking this movie for years. I finally found it with the correct and magical keywords per the google: "machine gun crossbow fantasy". I know this movie will be awesome, just like processed government cheese in a can. Just like I remembered it, I can't wait! Ahh, the Olden Days of Yore, when we were young and played D&D. That being said, if you were not a teenager in the 80's and cannot admit to playing D&D then you will not appreciate or digg this wondrous gem. But if ...

Voltan (Jack Palance) is the older brother who is known for his villainous ways. The lethal weapon bestows upon its owner incredible powers of destruction and Hawk, along with his comrades, the Elf and the Dwarf, must combat the forces of evil. *I still love this film even though it is dated badly. a "B" flick at its best and high speed arrow ... Read More Rating: - High fantasy, low,low budgetI saw this film in fifth grade and absolutely loved it. Recently on a nostalgic whim I picked up a copy and was pleasantly surprised. Though it is extremely low-budget, campy as leisure suits, and has a script any ten year old could have written, I still enjoyed it. Now I have to warn you if your expecting epic, Peter Jacksonesk film making here you will be very disappointed. Do not purchase or view this film if you are the highly critical, earnest, deeply intellectual sort. This is pure fun. The ... Read More Rating:  - HAWK THE SLAYER ReviewI sought this movie out from seeing it many years back. The film is somewhat low-budget, the plot is simple, but the characters in the film really hold your interest. Jack Palance has some unforgetable one-liners. Some friends and I have fun quoting his lines. In some ways it is similar to "KRULL" and "EXCALIBER", but not as scenic. It was neat to watch it again and I am happy to have this movie in my collection. Browse for similar items by category:
