Krull (1983) - Battle in the Swamps scene - Directed by Peter Yates

The cyclops’ death still hits me so hard.

Brings back memories of playing the Krull arcade game.

I love the shit out of this movie. Unironically absolutely find this to be one of the best 80’s fantasy films ever made.

If Krull hadn't worked out, the lead actor would have made a great Richard Chamberlain impersonator.

Young Hagrid!

Some of the best scenes of all time are in this movie: this, and the widow of the web scene. Amazing movie. Was on a par with Star Wars for me as a small kid. The remake seems to have stalled but that may be a good thing.

Arthurian Sci-Fi was such a WTF fun time! Also a very cool shout-out to this film in Ready Player One. My bro and I still quote this movie randomly after burning through a couple of VHS copies. "Only the king and his lord marshall carry this key!" "Rocks in our pockets and gravestones over our heads is all we will get from this journey" also RIP to that one cool character who sacrifices himself for the squad and a young Liam Neeson.

I f****** LOVE this movie. Easily the best of the post-Star Wars run of films in the 80’s. (Dragonslayer is also great and I consider The Neverending Story on its own accord)

Hmmmm....yes. A tiny net is a death sentence. It's a net. And it's tiny. Hmmmm.

My father always took me movies like this. Remember it kinda freaked me out to seen those slugs comming out their head

When that pitchfork flies through the air is so badass.

I loved this movie as a kid, and wanted my own Glaive SO badly! Planning to get the Blu-Ray at some point.

Little me was super sad at the nice cyclops getting mashed in the wall.

one of my favorite movies as a kid

My childhood!

Love love love this movie!

Watched this on acid and it was the ride of my fuckin life. Shout out young Liam Neeson looking like the prototype for Post Malone.

some motherfuckers are always trying to ice glaive uphill

That scene is pure 80s fantasy cheese and I love it. The swamp sets, the costumes, the weird creature design... its all so wonderfully practical and gross. Peak vibes.

I worked in Times Square back then and I remember an advert suddenly appearing. I’m like ‘KRULL’? What the heck is that? This is back when they still plastered stuff on the side of buildings.

That cast. Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane, Alun Armstrong

Is there any context to why you're posting this particular clip? Anything to discuss or add about a scene from a 1983 movie? I love Krull, but posting random clips with no context or additional info is getting old in this sub.

Thanks for making me feel old...

Oh man, what a soundtrack. I'm adding this to my watch list.

So many jumps 

Wow they really wanted some of that Star Wars money huh.

I remember watching this movie as a kid in the movie theaters and loved it.

My mother watched this so many times when I was growing up.

I still love those axes Torquil and Kegan use!

Loved this movie when I was younger, haven’t watched in ages

For the longest time I thought he used the glaive in this scene. My childhood imagination was pretty active. I was bummed watching as an adult that he never really uses it in the movie. This would be such a badass remake with today's technology.

Fk the hates! I love this Movie!!!

Pew! Pew!

I was 11 when I saw this in the cinema. Such a glorious time to be alive. 

I might catch some downvotes, but I really wouldn’t mind a modern remake of this

I love how the desperate fleeing at 0:17 is just a shuffle lest they run out of sound stage.

A critic once said 'krull' was like if you asked somebody to make a 'lord of the rings' movie if they never read the book I love Krull personally

This won some awards right?

To bad the prince went on to betray his uniform.

Bloody hell, look how young Alun Armstrong, Todd Carty and Robbie Coltrane all look. Alun looks hot, there's something I never thought I'd ever hear myself say 😆.

I remember watching this as a kid and being confused. Is it fantasy? Scifi? Both? Star Wars had laser guns and laser swords. That made sense. This had laser guns and axes? It just didn't add up. If the bad guys had Indiana Jones on their side the movie would have been over pretty quick.

I feel like this movie might be a bit different than I assumed it would be. I'm not sure where the image I had of it in my mind came from now. Maybe my brain just put together an image of it based on the name alone.

Austin Powers: "Frickin' laser beams!"

I got to see this in an imax theater it was so much fun; trying to remember what the double feature was. Maybe Krull and Dark City? Feels like the last Flash Gordon style movie

Cyclops will forever be the 🐐

Hell yeah

This film both fascinated and scared the shit out of me as a 7 year old. The deaths, visuals, the atmosphere…really a stunning movie.

Commander Eddington had a wild youth before he joined Starfleet.

Did... did that dude actually get slightly stabbed? 😳

I loved that movie as a kid.

I love Krull. It also contributed to my generation’s irrational fear of quick sand.

Saw this in the theater opening weekend. We walked out. So bad. Core memory bad.

See? These bad guys are so much better than Storm Troopers.

Holy shit. That's a young Robbie Coltrane.

It didn't occur to me when I saw this as a kid, but Krull is basically D&D Spelljammer.

I totally forgot that Alysa Liu’s hair was in this movie!

I was so afraid of spiders after this movie.

Wish they would remake this

Nice to see Ryan Goslings first appearance.

Homie with the whip.

Is this a rip off of the Lord of the rings?

You left out the creepy part where the Beast kills the Sage and replaces him

Man, that swamp scene always felt so grim. I still remember the mud and the overall vibe, it's classic 80s.

“..Open door”

Teacher from Willy wonka!

The film was a bit of a mish mosh of different genre's but I liked its production design and it had a lot of heart.  Interestingly surreal in places as well. 

SLAYERS!!!

I was 10 when this came out. You'd think it would have been right up my alley...yet I've never seen it. I should fix that sometime

Is this the scene where artax gets stuck in the swamp? :(
