After the death of his mother, the evil mutant wizard Blackwolf discovers some long-lost military technologies. Full of ego and ambition, Blackwolf claims his mother’s throne, assembles an army and sets out to brainwash and conquer Earth. Meanwhile, Blackwolf’s gentle twin brother, the bearded and sage Avatar, calls upon his own magical abilities to foil Blackwolf’s plans for world domination—even if it means destroying his own flesh and blood.

Viewing Notes

What a trip this is… I’m curious what drugs he was on when he created this. The interview with him (on the DVD) is interesting as he indicates that he wanted to make a “family & kids” movie and Wizards is just that… however, with all the Nazi overtones and sexual undertones I’m not sure this is really appropriate for the under 10 set. That said, this flick is ripe for a remake.
