If you get the chance you should really watch it. I have not seen it in years, and I am sure the special effects no longer hold up, but it has a great story, non-standard takes on some D&D creatures (cyclopes for example), and of course, the Glaive (which is not a pole arm).

I remember when that movie came out. We very quickly made our own "glaives" and started throwing them at each other!

I re-watched it a few years back, before the pandemic, and I still enjoyed it.

Pretty sure my brother and I also made our own "glaives" but ninja movies were also big at the same time, so throwing star type items were big from a variety of influences.

Yes they were, and the glaive was an uber-throw star!

Yay Krull holds strong still! It's going to be tough that's for sure when it gets down to the final six. Barbarian gets it over Destroyer for me every day and of the week and twice on Sundays, and I've never had a strong affinity towards Princess Bride (it's good but I didn't watch it during my formative years like the other movies - well, maybe not LotR but that was just so mind-blowing to see portrayed so well on the silver screen!).

Of these final seven, I'm only 100% sure I've seen three of them in full :-/ And I am 100% sure that is my spotty history of seeing movies and something I should fix.

Clash is really a one-man show, not a party effort. And who could forget this (BTW Willow is carrying his arcane focus...if that doesn't scream 5E D&D...)
