    Kinda always wished that, when Ilia appears in the transporter or whatever following her abduction by V'Ger, that clothing hadn't miraculously grown on her just before that door slid open!

    Oh, well...the baby nursing shot. Not even a 13-year-old is getting off on that.

    Yes, quite a lot more. Only female butts, but nice ones!

    That nudity is a nothingburger. Blink and you miss it. I'd say the intensity of the violence would guarantee the PG13 rating.

    It is a beautiful shot. Too bad it flies by so quickly. If you bend over to pick up something you dropped on the floor, you'll miss it.

    I think in those days that would have been considered a minor hit. In any case, it did far better than DRAGONSLAYER.

    A novelty classic from A real novelty classic from 1953, backed with "Little Blue Riding Hood." Stan Freberg was a treasure.

    Wow, John! you surprise me. It's your opinion, and I respect that, but...DRAGONSLAYER?

    Just to point out the obvious, both films you cite, SWORD & SORCEROR and EXCALIBUR, are R-rated and not intended for children. The PG-rated DRAGONSLAYER (which if rated today I'm sure would be PG-13) was trying to appeal to younger viewers by putting the Galen character in there, written and...

    I'm so glad you singled out that amazing shot, as it is one of my favorites, too...and only a few seconds long. I am not sure the film was meant to be "fun" per se. In my opinion (of the most humble sort) the story suggests this was intended to be a dark and scary adult fantasy, but was...

    Since I have been lobbying for this release for many years, I probably ought to drop a note in this thread. THIS RELEASE IS AWESOME! Let me tell you about my prior exposures to DRAGONSLAYER: 1. Saw the film in 1981 at a duplex (now gone) in Portland, Maine. The PQ was pretty decent, but one of...
