Movie: Kull the Conqueror (1997)
“A barbarian named Kull unexpectedly becomes a king after an old king (whom Kull has just killed in a battle) gives his crown to him. But direct heirs of a killed king, trying to topple Kull and regain the throne, bring an old witch-queen Akivasha back to life. Their plan backfires, however, as Akivasha is going to allow their lords – demons – to rule the kingdom. The only thing that can stop her now is a breath of the god Volka. Written by Boris Shafir {shafir@hsi.com}”
- Director: John Nicolella
- Release Date: 29 August 1997 (USA)
- Run Time: 95 min
- Country: USA
- Genre: Fantasy , Action , Adventure
- MPAA: Rated PG-13 for fantasy action violence and sensuality.
Tagline: Kull reigns. Kull rules. Kull rocks.
Trivia: In the Finnish translations of the Kull stories, the character name ‘Kull’ was changed into ‘Kall’ to avoid unintentional comic elements (there is a Finnish word meaning ‘penis’ that resembles ‘kull’ quite a bit). This, however, was not done with this movie, adding its part to the unintentional comedy.
Goofs: Continuity: The amount (and position) of white in Zareta’s hair changes several times.
