Viewing Notes
Lots of convoluted plot twists, mostly revealed through way too much dialogue, with no archer in sight ever. This feels like a bunch of stuff just edited together to capitalize on the Brave Archer series and only just barely makes sense.
Our second film of movie night that got a lot of laughs out of everyone. Best seen with a group of friends.
