Hawk the Slayer
“Beyond the edge of darkness there is a world of sword and sorcery.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A heroic swordsman gathers fantasy specialists to confront his magnificently theatrical evil brother. The modest locations and conspicuous magic strain toward epic scale, while Jack Palance supplies enough dramatic pressure to make several kingdoms consider surrendering before the fighting begins.

Synopsis and movie facts
Hawk the Slayer, after seeing both his father and bride die at the hands of his malevolent brother, Voltan, sets out for revenge and the chance to live up to his title. Tooling himself up with the "mind-sword" and recruiting a motley band of warriors — a giant, a dwarf, a one-armed man with a machine-crossbow, and an elf with the fastest bow in the land — Hawk leads the battle against Voltan to free the land from the forces of evil and avenge his loved ones.
