Albert Pyun director Lee Horsley, Kathleen Beller and Simon MacCorkindale in this fantasy romp where an adventurer carries a three bladed sword that shoots.

The first half an hour we pelt through the decades of backstory. Something so simple shouldn’t be this hard to follow. Once it settles the artificial atmosphere might be cheap but it is heavy. There are horror flick level gore and creature effects. Plenty of heaving bosoms and daring do by a motley crew too. If you let it wash over you The Sword & The Sorcerer actually is a better viewing experience than the Conans. Just has mucky fun in a lot of random moments, nothing stilted.
