ATOR THE FIGHTING EAGLE: The "So Bad It's Good" Conan Knock-Off

Welcome back to Nerd Legion! Join us as we continue our 1980s fantasy film marathon with a review of the infamous Italian-made classic, 1982's Ator the Fighting Eagle directed by Joe D'Amato. This episode dives into the movie's hilarious plot, terrible fight scenes, and unintentionally funny moments. We discuss the strange prophecy, the bizarre love story involving adopted siblings, the laughable special effects, the sub-par performance of Miles O'Keefe, and the unexpected joy of watching a very bad movie that's somehow endlessly entertaining. Quickly filmed after the release and success of Conan the Barbarian, Ator provides great entertainment as a rushed B Movie attempting to capitalize on the popularity of sword-and-sorcery films of the 80s. Don't miss out on the fun, and stay tuned for more episodes featuring our take on other 1980s fantasy films! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
