Viewing Notes

This popped up in my recommended titles bc of course it did so I gave it a spin while sorting trash. I’ve seen this movie a few times so it was perfect for that. Palance deserves an award for all the scene chewing and emoting he does. If not for him this movie wouldn’t be nearly as fun or watchable. Was a big favorite when I was a kid. I was enamored with Crow the Elf and his lightning fast archery skills.
