Yeah that movie is funny. The weird thing is the musical score is almost identical to TWINS OF EVIL--the same composer who is also producer-writer of Prisoners (which has some links to HAWK THE SLAYER I recall).
Ive seen
Hawk the Slayer a few times . Defiantly a film made on the cheap, in terms of production and special effects, lots of really hammy and bad acting, editing , directing and writing , so bad it's good . I loved Hawks sword
And damn ! I so wanted sequel to this film ! In fact, we need more films like this !
Laserblast 1977 This film is a textbook example of how not make a science fiction movie . What wrong with Laserblast ? just about everything .
It runs the whole gamut , atrociously bad writing with lapses in story logic , bad direction, horrible editing , and not so special effects with one exception. The stop motion Alien Dinosaur creatures looked quite good and were by best actors in that cinema cow patty. The basic plot of this story , is there alien are on earth chasing after and alien criminal armed with a deadly laser blaster weapon . They corner and disintegrate the criminal leaving the weapon the power pack which a medallion separate from the weapon and worn by the user to power the weapon. The aliens for some inescapable reason, leave the weapon and power pack behind and, a young teenage earth kid and his girlfriend finds the weapon. He puts on the power medallion and starts using the weapon . Overtime use of this weapon mutates him into a green skin , yellow eyed homicidal killer with bad teeth.
I won't spoil the rest of this bad cinema extravaganza by telling you how it all ends . This too is film so inane and bad that it's a sheer joy to watch and, it almost got a sequel.
