Hawk, having suffered the ignominy of watching both his father and fiancée die at the hands of his brother, Voltan, sets out on a quest for companions to aid him in his fight to stop his brother’s reign of evil and free the Abbess.
Hawk the Slayer has been photographed handsomely, other than a laughably elongated final battle sequence shot in ultra slow-motion, and money was spent getting the look of the production right. But to what end? Compared to the other swordfight movies of its era, Hawk the Slayer is a good-looking, dull programmer. Cool poster, shitty movie.
