Krull
Here I go with another activity from "gamers that did more than just game" category of 80's memories. The trailer for Krull is below:
Several of us went to the theatre and saw this film. There was no D&D movie at the time but this was a close approximation to the way many groups played the game [atleast for a short period of time]- as in, they did not strictly stick to fantasy but also threw in a little science fiction also. Not to mention that TSR mixed science fiction and fantasy with EXPEDITION TO THE BARRIER PEAKS. I admit that it is not a cinematic masterpiece BUT it is better than the official D&D movie that we got.
I really liked the fold up throwing flying ninja start thing. About the only thing as cool is in another movie, where the guy had a 3 bladed sword. He could shoot out the blades as projectiles. I think it is the Sword and the Sorcerer. I wasn't played as often as Conan or Beastmaster.
