Viewing Notes
Epic ‘80s epicness! Not the world’s greatest movie by any stretch of the imagination, but Gor does have a charm to it. I’d say I liked this as much as Krull; it definitely deserves more love and recognition than it’s gotten.
Oliver Reed is pretty much a fat waste here, with the exception of his death scene near the end, which is pretty fun.
Jack Palance is billed as one of the stars but doesn’t make an appearance until almost the very end, laying the path for a sequel, which I’m told was made. I really need to track it down next.
