Krull (1983)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris wield The Glaive and discuss the 1983 fantasy cult classic Krull, which was recently released on 4K for the first time. Set on the planet Krull, an evil alien force led by The Beast (Trevor Martin) invades, and the planet's two kingdoms hope to ally against them by having Princess Lyssa (Lysette Anthony) and Prince Colwyn (Ken Marshall) wed to combine their armies. While Lyssa and Colwyn fall immediately in love, their wedding is crashed by The Beast's forces, the Slayers, and Lyssa is kidnapped. Colwyn sets out on a quest to rescue her, which includes recovering the ancient weapon known as The Glaive and gathering a group of companions, which consists of a band of thieves, a cyclops, and an inept magician. Zach and Chris discuss Colwyn's exclusive use of The Glaive in the final battle, early appearances by Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane, the workings of the Widow of the Webs' magic sand, the battle between sci-fi and fantasy armies, and more. You can check out the new 4K of Krull or stream it on Tubi. Next week, we're heading into the new DCU and talking about one of the year's biggest movies, Superman, as it's now streaming on HBO Max and will be on Blu-ray/4K on Tuesday.
