A young prince, with his magic weapon called the Glaive, gathers a bandit army to rescue his princess from a beast from the stars. Sure, it’s generic 1980s fantasy, but it’s better-looking than most from that era, and who doesn’t want to throw a deadly starfish?

Starring Ken Marshall, Lysette Anthony, Freddie Jones, Francesca Annis, Alun Armstrong, Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane. Written by Stanford Sherman. Directed by Peter Yates.
