Plot
In the face of total annihilation by the omnipotent Beast’s unstoppable hordes of Slayers, 
the young aristocrats of two hostile neighbouring nations–the brave Prince Colwyn and the fair Princess Lyssa–
are about to come into union, and form an alliance against the common enemy. However, the otherworldly adversary is all-powerful, and before long, a fateful abduction will trigger a desperate quest to the evil entity’s grim Black Fortress, as Colwyn and a handful of mismatched defenders are willing to dice with death to ensure the land’s future. In this suicide mission, the magical, five-edged weapon 
known as the Glaive is their only chance of survival. Can Prince Colwyn slay the Beast, save Lyssa and Krull, the small planet in the middle of the vast galaxy?

Making of Krull
The cyclops says that fire mares can travel a thousand leagues in a day. 
A league was defined as the distance a heavily armed man could travel in an hour, usually 3 to 4 miles (4 to 7 kilometers). That means fire mares can travel about 3,500 miles (5,000 km) a day, at an average speed of about 145 miles an hour (250 km/h).
Princess Lyssa Lysette Anthony’s voice was dubbed in the final cut by Lindsay Crouse. Robbie Coltrane’s characters voice was fellow Brit Michael Elphick.
The dub for the death screams of the Slayers was taken from the Mahar shrieks in At the Earth’s Core (1976).
This motion picture was one of the most expensively produced of its time.
Twenty-three movie sets were constructed for filming.
Krull has been notable for featuring early screen appearances of Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane.
The production utilized ten sound stages at Pinewood Studios, including the biggest of them all, the gigantic 007 Stage, which was used for the exteriors of the swamp sequence.
The Widow of the Web’s aging makeup had 23 elements to apply on the actress’ face, head, and body.
Our view on Krull
Krull is half way between being so bad, it’s good and being so good, it’s good. It’s a real eighties fanasy movie and has some decent acting. But then again, the acting isn’t brilliant and the effects are nice but not great except for the spider, which is pretty good. Exploitflix thumbs up!
