Meant to be a whimsical sword-and-sorcery film about a prince out to save his princess from the jaws of the Beast,
Krull has enough scenes borrowed from blockbuster predecessors (
Raiders of the Lost Ark,
E.T.,
Robin Hood,
Star Wars) and is gentle enough to be rather derivative, ordinary fare. Prince Colwyn (
Ken Marshall) has inherited a kingdom under siege by the evil Beast, and not only has to rid the land of the monster, but he has to rescue his bride Lyssa (
Lysette Anthony) from the Beast's clutches as well. In his magical land, horses can sometimes fly, medieval castles can harbor weapons that light up, and before he can defeat the Beast, the prince has to get his hands on the
glaive (French for "double-edged sword"), a razor-sharp, magical weapon capable of killing the monster. One of the more notable aspects of
Krull is that a 30-year old
Liam Neeson plays the bit part of Kegan, in only his third full-length feature film.
