This movie and The Last Starfighter were on my TV constantly as a kid.
And the wraith 😊
They should do last starfighter!
Then Enemy Mine
@@vincegamer
Louis Gossett Jr 😊
The Last Starfighter is definitely one to watch!
Yesss!!!
Wow! This is a deep dive into some 80's fantasy, and I'm here for it. Now we just need to get some Beastmaster going, and we'll be in a B-movie fantasy marathon. And I'll continue to be here for it.
and Ridley Scott's Legend.
@@dwhelm84 Seconded on Legend. The U.S. version with Tangerine Dream score.
Clash of the Titans (1981)
Excalibur (1981)
Conan the barbarian (1982)
I second Beastmaster
Add "Willow" and "Labyrinth" to the list.
The music for Krull was composed by James Horner, who was still unknown when Krull was being filmed, but rocketed to fame after composing the music for Star Trek II and III and earned an Academy Award nomination for the music for Aliens.
You can hear Star Trek 2 and Star Trek 3 music throughout the entire composition. I would argue that this single soundtrack laid the groundwork for his sound for the rest of his career. I love his work though he rips himself off constantly
@@franzhaas5597 Well, he worked on Star Trek II before Krull, so you could say he's reusing a lot of those themes here. Yes, Horner has been accused of being repetitive, but then the same thing could be said about Williams and Goldsmith.
@@44excalibur I forgive him of his repetitiveness because the music he makes still sounds freaking fantastic. The wolfen you can hear a lot of Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan. In the '80s he was obsessed with screechy violins timpanis and high French horns.
@@franzhaas5597 Wolfen, not The Howling. That was Pino Donaggio.
@@44excalibur I don't know what I was thinking I did mean wolfen I'm going to have to correct that or someone else might jump into the thread. I take a lot of Pride knowing my soundtracks. Thanks for the correction.
This was my favorite movie growing up, and it still holds a top spot nostalgia-wise. Other actors that folks might recognize from this, Robbie Coltrane is pretty popular in the Harry Potter franchise, while Freddie Jones and Francesca Annis, who play the wise man and the widow of the web respectively, also appear in the 80's version of Dune. The glaive does make an appearance in the final battle of the Ready Player One movie, which I was awkwardly the only person who cheered in the theater when it showed up on screen.
And Ergo the Magnificent, of course, was David Battley, instantly recognizable as Charlie's schoolteacher from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory", for those who've reacted to it yet...Class re-dismissed!
I recognised the Glaive when I watched Ready Player One as I too grew up with Krull
This is a great film which I own and watch every year.
Have you seen ice pirates
@@DicnballzBitch Ice Pirates is a Awesome film
One of the things I love about this movie is that while Ergo is cowardly, he isn't a pure coward. In each fight he makes sure the more vulnerable than him are gotten to safety, even though the Seer dies because he goes back to help. For such a kitchey movie, it has a lot of character development. His line to Cyclops, "We had no time." beautifully displays the friendship they formed in just a few days.
Honestly I love when your kids interrupt because it's like when I'd be at my friends place watching something and his kids would come out. So real and innocent. Takes me back
This movie is very underrated. I've loved it since I saw it as a kid in the 80s. It's great fantasy movie with an alien invasion twist. And, James Horner doesn't disappoint with the soundtrack. I hope you guys will watch more 80s like this. I recommend "Dragonslayer" from 1981, Beastmaster starring Marc Singer, and Willow starring Val Kilmer. If you want ot go REAL cheesy, watch the Deathstalker series of movies.
Oh wow, Deathstalker. Now that is some low budget cheese. The Ator series is very much on par.
An 80s unknown I loved as a child was Solarbabies. A weird post apocalyptic sci-fi with a sport that is a mix of rollerscate lacrosse. Or Batteries not Included.
@@rburton76 Oh God, Ator. Yes. Another "great" series. There's another reaction channel called Reel Reviews with Jen. She has watched a lot of movies like this. She's watched several B-movies I totally forgot about.
@@rburton76 Deathstalker II was better IMO but that’s a very low bar.
@@smallvillefan72 oh I definitely agree. On both parts. Ha!
The Widow of the Web is played by British actress Francesca Annis, who also played Lady Jessica, mother of Paul Atreides, in the original 1984 version of Dune.
Would love to see them react to that film too.
I mean, I know it's not high cinema or anything, but I loved this movie as a kid and young teenager. It, among other similar movies was a big part of why I got into Dungeons and Dragons and fantasy in general, still brings a big silly grin to my face.
Same! Love it, love it love it!
I bet it does 🙄
Yep, we need a return to the sword and sorcery and SciFi genres, we do a few these days but nothing compared to the 70s/80s
OMG Krull! I grew up loving this movie. My uncle took me to it as a double feature with Octopussy. I rented it sooo many times from our local video store. It’s such a strange mixture of fantasy and sci-fi. Almost akin to He-Man.
Same. This brings back some fond memories...
This was a great double feature with 'Legend ' Tom cruise first picture I think. Or perhaps Ator, or Red Sonya for a truly cheese 80's sword and sorcery giggles
Sword and Planet is such an underrated genre, they should make more of them!
@@Delarissa Sword and Planet was not a genre name I was familiar with. I googled it. Now I've seen a great number of these films, but I think you've unlocked some hidden gems for me. Thank You!!!
Do you remember the Krull arcade game ?
The Bandit "Ruhn" was played by Robbie Coltrane. He played Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies. Ruhn was the bandit who complained about having his thoughts intterupted.
i cant see it but he absolutely sounds like Hagrid. Amazing how a beard and long hair can really change someones appearance
@@dancing_odie Also, this movie pre-dates the Potter Series by decades. But if you look at his eyes, you can see it.
And he has one of the best lines. "I was wrong. The journey was worthwhile."
He was also Valentin Zukovsky in The James Bond Franchise. RIP
Did nobody see Liam Neeson?!, it's all Hagrid, Hagrid, Hagrid!.
Krull is such an underrated classic
It's not underrated, it was a massive flop and has been panned ever since. I bloody love it though.
I love this movie Mr and Mrs movies. It's just one of those things that take you back to your childhood where you you can escape in the fantasy.
If it comes on 3/5 times I'll always watch it
Ah, the 1980s sword and sorcery fantasy genre. Excalibur, Dragonslayer, Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, The Beastmaster, Red Sonja, The Sword and the Sorcerer, Deathstalker, Sorceress, Willow, and Krull. Good times.
Don't forget Legend, Clash of the Titans (1980) and Ladyhawk. Tho I'm not a Ladyhawk fan it is well loved. Could also put Masters of the Universe in the mix.
@@0PsychosisMedia0 Dark Crystal, Princess Bride and The Never Ending Story would fit in there as well. Time Bandits too.
All lots of fun but Conan the Barbarian was on a whole different level than the rest.
@@0PsychosisMedia0 Well, I don't know if I'd include Clash of the Titans because that's more of a Greek mythology thing. Plus, it's part of the Ray Harryhausen lineage that goes all the way back to Jason and the Argonauts and the Sinbad movies. I suppose Ladyhawke fits in there too, but Masters of the Universe is more science fiction/fantasy.
@@davidconway6874 Those are all examples of fantasy, but not sword and sorcery.
Great to see Hagrid in this one.
Also, Qui Gonn Jinn and a host of other famous British actors before they were famous.
"cut that out, someones gonna make a meme of me doing that" lololol
EDIT - omg mr movies not only LEFT IT IN, he greenscreened the background like "Memer's - have at it!" 🤣😂🤣 I freaking love this channel
The OnlyFans tag was the icing on the cake.
Krull! Blimey. Someone other than me has definitely now seen Krull!
The 80s were a great time for fantasy films.
Excalibur
Dragonslayer
Conan the Barbarian
The Sword and the Sorcerer
Beastmaster
Legend
Willow
Masters of the Universe
Fire & Ice
The Last Starfighter (more sci-fi than fantasy, but great nonetheless)
Flash Gordon (again, more sci-fi than fantasy)
There were also some great low budget ones:
Deathstalker & the superior Deathstalker 2
The Barbarian Queen
The Warrior and the Sorceress
Great list!
Even if the movies weren't great, the time itself was.
@@Theomite Believe me, these movies are great. The leading lady in The Warrior and the Sorceress is topless throughout 99% of the film. That is great.
Mustn't forget Ladyhawke
The Glaive is one of the most recognized movie weapons.
@CraftnStuffshe did say one of the most not THE most though
Love both the Glaive and Conan sword but to be honest if they did a poll of all the living generations right now I'm pretty sure the most recognized movie weapon would be a lightsaber.
@@DeathsjesterKMNP and you would be correct.
Lightsaber
Freddy's glove
Conan sword
Glaive
Still around too, it's your weapon in the video game Dark Sector and it appears in it's spiritual sequel, the massively popular Warframe.
"I am Ergo the Magnificent, short in stature, tall in power, narrow of purpose and wide of vision." This movie is a staple of my childhood and even now Ergo is one of my favorite wizard characters.
"Is this going to be good? Or bad?"
The answer is yes.
The Onlyfans cut made me laugh way too hard. 🤣
I lost it at that bit. That was great.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me too
I wonder if this is where Liam Neeson developed his particular set of skills?
Impressed you know this movie even exists.
Also, years later in retrospect, Prince Colwyn could totally be Chris Pratt's and Benedict Cumberbatch's love child.
Love this movie. This was a part of my childhood. Great reaction
Watched this as a kid, and re-watching it now hurts .... good lord the acting 😂
ha yeah i remember it being way better as a kid lol
"Find a crevice and wedge yourself into it"
Words to live by, thank you lol
literally, what she said
Waiting for another 80s cult classic fantasy, "Time Bandits".
One of the weapons in Ready Player One.
Sorry, I wrote this before I watched the reaction now I feel like a tit.
See this in cinema as a child was the greatest thing ever.
Ah, the beginning of my decades-long crush on Lysette Anthony.
Among the great British character actors, take note of the Widow of the Web, Francesca Annis. She also played Jessica, Paul’s mother, in the first Dune adaptation.
And the old wise man character who knew her was Thufur in Dune as well. Actor’s name is Freddie Jones.
The Glaive from Krull has always been my favorite weapon. Also, your daughter's timing is admirable.
The voice of British actress Lysette Anthony (Lyssa) was dubbed over by American actress Lindsay Crouse, because the producers wanted a "more mature sounding voice" for the character. Also, an underrated score by James Horner (Titanic, Aliens, Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan).
A ridiculous decision if you hear Anthony's real voice which is very pleasant to listen to.
Im SO glad you are watching this film!!!! One of my favorites!! Its got a GREAT soundtrack too!!! I loved watching along with you!
I need a meme of the Mrs saying "Krull the Warrior King!"
An absolute classic remember watching this at the drive inn back in 83 with my parents. gods Im old lol
@27:27 lol it's the grunting/groaning sound that really makes this complete XD
Scrolling through the comments and it appears that everybody is around my age or older and they have great taste in movies.
I do like films from this era with a James Horner soundtrack. I love your reactions
Awesome reaction :). This movie always reminds me of Hawk The Slayer (1980) with Jack Palance and John Terry, also with Brernard Bresslaw ( the Cyclops). Did you notice Rhun was played by Robbie Coltrane, Hagrid from Harry Potter?
Glad someone else remembers Hawk the Slayer. That movie is great. Hope they react to that one too.
The dwarf and elf too.
I like to think of it as a unofficial far future sequel to lord of the rings.
The last elf and dwarf
The actress playing Lyssa was also in Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Another excellent film.
Great classic syfy. I always wanted a glaive. By the way the horses were Clydesdales trained specifically to play the fire mares. The movie had an insane budget for its day.
Just realized Torquill was Mornay from Braveheart. Pretty memorable bedroom scene despite only consisting of two dudes and a horse.
High fives to the requesters for this! 100% childhood nastalgia:)
Think this post got me another scammer. Friends beware
@@danielman4057 I keep getting those too. Every time I do, I not only report it, I go through the comments (well, several pages worth) and report any others I find. I'm hoping that if I report a couple dozen in a row, it will get the a-holes' accounts banned.
Wow. Haven't watched this since the 80's. Much appreciated that you're reacting to a film that fills me with joyous nostalgia.
This is one of those sleeper movies that is just so damn epic. I have always loved this movie.
Krull,Beastmaster,and Last Starfighter were my go tos back in the 1980’s .
The actor that plays Ruhn in this is Robbie Coltrane, who also played Hagrid in the Harry Potter series.
The actor portraying Colwyn had a recurring role in Star Trek DS9 also.
Michael Eddington, kind of a bad guy but somewhat maybe good intentions
The glaive is the fantasy weapon many of us would love to have.. Imagine Aragorn using it against the urukhai.
KRULL is one of my favorite movies ever.. And the music by James Horner is magnificent (just like Ergo).. Rell is my number one character, but as the years passed, Ergo became a more beloved character.
19:20 that entrance was magnificent:D
Mr and Mrs movies please consider the wraith and the last starfighter 😊👍
7:41 That's probably the origin story of Neosporin. It's like when you find out that Velcro is from space aliens. This is some next level product placement.
I went to my local cinema with some school-friends on my tenth birthday to see this classic Brit fantasy movie, and I think we had burgers afterwards. Great memories.
Thank you for watching this. Anytime i tried to describe this or The Last Dragon , my friends looked at me like I was crazy (still under review for 30+ years).
Freddie Jones and Francessca Annis were in "Dune" (1985) together as well. Francessca Annis is amazingly beautiful
Robbie Coltrane is also an actor that went on to be in something huge (no pun intended)
He played Hagrid in Harry Potter
And Valentin. The ex-KGB contact in the first and third Brosnan James Bond films.
This was a great film, and reaction. Another film along this line which is worth watching, 'Dragonslayer', the best one is 'Excaliber!'.
1. I haven't seen this in 35 years. Thanks for the review.
2. "Willow" is a fun fantasy movie as well. (Directed by Ron Howard)
3. "The Sword and the Sorcerer" rocks too.😎
There's a Willow series starting on Disney+ in November. I kind of rolled my eyes about yet another crappy reboot but then I read that it will actually be a sequel starring the same midget and other original actors. Maybe there's hope that Disney has learned from previous blunders and won't Disney it up too badly. Maybe.
Add Legend to the watch list
@@danlotroth9231 Legend, the previously mentioned Beast Master, the original Clash of the Titan and Dragonslayer could round things up nicely👌
The special effects in Krull were mind blowing for that time, definitely a gem that paved the way for the 80s fantasy film explosion.
You both approach a movie with complete openness and wonder,. You had the best reaction I've seen to this 80's slice of beautiful cheese.
I saw this in the theater at 14 and it was good for the time. But I think she nailed it when asked if this movie is acting as if it wants to be epic. My answer is: "Yes. It is trying to be epic."
This used to be ok tv all the time when I was a kid! I love the soundtrack to this movie
Liam Neeson has done comedy. Most recently he was in A Million Ways to Die In The West (2014). He was also in High Spirits (1988) also starring Steve Guttenberg, Daryl Hannah, Beverly D'Angelo, and a baby faced Jennifer Tilly
This is one of my favourite films. Loved it as a kid, love it as an adult. I also liked how the death of each character was treated as impactful and a big loss to their group, even the side-characters who had little impact otherwise. Most films just gloss over the loss of side characters.
You have to give credit for the sheer size of Colwyn's crew. In most of these fantasy movies you're lucky to get 5 people along for the ride.
The kid walking in as the dramatic music hit was priceless.
This is a ‘Summer Saturday afternoon VHS rental from the pre-Blockbuster local video store’ kind of movie.
Robbie Coltrane, who played Rhun, also went on to have a pretty decent career. He was in the Harry Potter movies and some of the James Bond movies.
I love this movie! I used to build the glaive out of tinkertoys and throw it around the house (much to my parents chagrin). So fun! Great reaction video as always.
Every kid of a certain age imagined having a Glaive
The comedy wizard was the candy store owner from 1970s charlie and the chocolate factory that's why he might have looked familiar
Well me and Mrs. movies are on the same wavelength because right before she said Barbara I just yelled out Barbara and then she said it. now I’m wondering what else I can do with my magical powers
This movies was horrible but for some odd reason I love it. I couldn't get enough of this movie, conan, and sword and the sorcerer.
The Sword & the Sorcerer is really great,
the score is very similar to John Williams
Indiana Jones theme.
Wow. I never expected this film! I've always loved it. I was young, so you will have to forgive me.
Hawk the Slayer! Also features Bernard Bresslaw (the Cyclops)...and Jack Palance.
I used to watch this movie with my grandfather, it was one of our favorites. I miss him like the dickens, so thank you for the nostalgia.
This is a Classic film that always appeared on TV back in the day. I would always sit back and watch it. How ever I never saw it from the beginning I would always catch it at the part where he gets the glaive or a bit after. Not until I bought this on DVD did I actually see the beginning of the movie. This is a fun film to watch with the kids or family.
Krull is so awesome. I watch it at least once a year. Get those same cult movie vibes from Hawk The Slayer. Cheesy, but awesome fun. Krull is certainly a worthy recommendation.
"he's qui-gon jinn in star wars episode 1"
"i don't know what that means" 😭 2:49
There is no other movie I both love and hate in such a careful balance
19:23, That was a sinister entrance there.
In Ready Player One, I believe is was Sho who used the Glaive to cut off I-Roks arm toward the end of the movie. Also, did you notice Hagrid in there as one of the bandits?
Also, AMAZING music by the late James Horner.
The Krull arcade video game was pretty good too. I fed it many quarters.
KRULL IS A EPIC MOVIE!!!! sorry for yelling.
Hahaha, it's great you said Chris Pratt should remake it, because the moment he popped up on screen, I thought he looked like Chris Pratt!
this one was a big hit back in the days, we did not have so many western movies in our cinemas in east germany. but this one we had.
just when I thought it couldn't get funnier. My new saying: "like bringing a lightsaber to a glaivefight."
For the Star Trek DS9 fans, the lead actor, Ken Marshall, also played in DS9 as the Starfleet security officer that replaced Odo on the station that was really a Maquis agent. I had no clue until I looked him up.
This was such an amazing video reaction!!! So many memories brought back from rewatching these early 80s gems. Sure the special effects was not top tier and many the story was so-so or the acting but their is definitely sentimental nostalgia that I definitely have. I would love to see if Mrs. Movies would like to react to another sci-fi classic The Last Starfighter!! I know you have seen it so I really hope this can happen (if she has not seen it of course). I also put my vote in for other great sci-fi fantasy epics like The Beastmaster, Dragonslayer and Legend.
Always love your video reactions!! 😊👍🏾👍🏾
Krull is that movie you watch on a Sunday because it's on TBS.
Omfg Krull!! You’re watching Krull!! Oh sweet baby Jesus thank you!
My grandparents happened to have this movie, which is the only reason I ever saw it. Really had no idea what was going on but I'm strangely glad I saw it.
Any one in the uk ,as they spotted Liam , I spotted ,Todd Carty, not even sure it’s the same actor but genuine LOL moment for me.
A VHS classic.
You should definitely react to more 80s fantasy movies; such as The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Excalibur, Clash of the Titans, Legend, Return to Oz and The Princess Bride.
Oh baby, I knew it was just a matter of time until the Krull reactions started rolling in.
*OMG! THIS WAS ON TV WHEN I WAS A BB!* i use to play this oughts! the star thing. i thought i dreamed it. -JC
The Quest for the Fidget Spinner
Fun facts: The cyclopes was played by Bernard Bresslaw, from the "Carry on" movies. this was his last film. He saw through slits hidden in the cheek wrinkles.
-Ken Marshall (Colywn) is best known by ST: DS9 fans as Commander Eddington.
-The Princess had such a thick accent that she had to be dubbed.
-The heavyset thief is played by Robbie Coltrane best known for the show "Cracker".
-The chief thief was played by Alun Armstrong. He played the cult leader in "The Mummy Returns".
-The foot soldiers are basically brain aliens in exo-suits... Like Krang from TMNT.
There was supposed to be a sequel but, sadly, that never happened.
I love everything about this movie!
This and others like it, inspired my love of fantasy films.
there is also Excalibur (1981), Liam Neeson's other big fantasy epic of the 80s with Helen Mirren, Patrick Stewart and Gabriel Byrne
