This is a review printed in the Dallas Times Herald.  It is a review by
Joe Bob Briggs, The Movie Critic of Rockwall, Texas.  Joe Bob has been
written about in Time Magazine and has several fan clubs throughout the
nation.  The date of the review  is Friday, July 29, 1983.

    Joe Bob begins by saying:  "It's about these jerkolas called The
Slayers who start out by offing about 45 guys with swords and Darth
Vader lasers, only they miss Ken Marshall, which is too bad because it
coulda saved us two hours.  Anyway, Ken decides to make like The
Beastmaster and avenge all these Slayers, but only after The Old One
comes down out of the Granite Mountains and tells him to go kill The
Beast in the Black Fortress.  The Beast is keeping Lysette Anthony  in
his eyeball.  But before he can fight the beast Ken has to go get this
five-edge super-spin-action magic switchblade that's called a Glave, or
a Glade, a Blade, a Glabe, I never could tell what the heck they were
saying but that may have something to do with Toronado (his automobile
because he only goes to the Drive-In) AM static.  But even after he gets
the Glabe, Ken can't just go kung fu The Beast.  First he has to Seek
the Vision of the Blind Emerald Seer.  Then he has to make friends with
a Cyclops and kill a few scumbags.  Then he has to Seek the Emerald
Temple, only on the way these Slayers rise up out of a swamp like Dart
Vader clone mutants, and while Ken is distracted,  there is this Fake
Blind Emerald Seer who comes along and replaces the real Blind Emerald
Seer, but Ken figures out he's dealing with The Changeling and so he
tosses the jerk into a vat of quicksand.  But now he doesn't have a
Blind Emerald Seer anymore, so Ken asks the Cyclops what the hey, and
the Cyc says, "There is one who might help -- The Widow of the Web."
Where the hell is she, Ken says.  In the Iron Desert, the Cyc says.  No
sweat, Ken says.  So he hikes over to the Iron Desert and the Old Man
from the Granite Mountains says, Hey, I'll go in and talk to the old
lady.  But while he's in there, trying to escape from this Giant Spider,
the Sands of Time run out for the Old Man and he croaks, he tells'em
about the Five Mares.  Get on these Five Mares and fly over to the Black
Fortress and get the heck on with it.  They have to wait till the Cyc
dies, cause it's his turn for the Sands of Time deal, but then they go
hellbent for leather till they're all over that Fortress, dying like
flies and Ken has to pull out that Glabe, which is a kind of Frisbee
with switchblades on the edges of it, and  get the Beast in the eyeball
so Lysette Anthony can get out.

     Heads roll in this one.  We're talking 77 corpses.  Half a quart of
blood.  Several varieties of beast, but the main Beast is blurry.  No
motor vehicle chases.  Minimum kung fu.  Several swords through bodies .
Most of the world gets blown up.  Excellent torture chamber.  I'm
calling it three stars.  Joe Bob says check it out.

      Joe Bob is a Drive-In movie critic and wouldn't get caught dead in
any theatre.  As you can see he is into action flicks and likes to see
kung fu.  I hope that this gives you an insight into the live and
thinking of this great Movie Critic.
