Krull was neither low budget nor a B film, ffs the director also directed the friends of eddie coyle and had a budget near 50 million in 1980s dollars.

I have a copy of Deathstalker 3 on my pc and it is apparently the only Deathstalker movie that doesn't use footage from the first. (I googled it)

I know Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 1 and 2 did, probably a few other Corman Swords and Sorcery movies.

I would like to watch the uncut version of Deathstalker 3 - as I can't find anything but the cut version mst3k used and we'll... mst3k one :)

Scored by James Horner, filmed in the Italian alps using custom cameras, not exactly a low budget production.

Being ridiculously overbudget due to sloppy production doesn't make it not a B movie. I watched it the year it came out, and it's always been one of my all time favorite movies (I still want a Glaive for Xmas), but trust me, it's a B movie.

The movie has an A budget, A List Director and composer. This movie was intended and made as a A movie not a B movie. The fact it turned out to be a steaming turd due to the pitiful script does not make it a B movie.

"Krull went through a very expensive, harsh and dangerous production process. The film's huge budget mainly came from the designers having to make numerous alterations to the sets."

They spent an A budget making a B movie.

I actually breathed a sigh of relief when they said The Rock was not playing Jack Burton.

I don’t have a problem with remakes and reimaginings, I just ave a problem with the fact that 9/10 times they have no clue what the made the original good in the first place. Robocop and Ghostbusters : Answer the Call being two easy examples.

Wouldn’t mind seeing a drugged out reimagining of Johnny Nmemonic.

So Goatface, I read through the image of the article you'd posted, then I saw your signature at the bottom.

"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."

Thought it was apt.

Was considering Surf Nazis Must Die, but they really shouldn't ruin such an amazing piece of cinema.

Remo Williams is not remakeable anymore. you cant use a little asian man stereotype in current year and especially a non asian man playing the role. plus the Statue of Liberty is still chilling out from her last makeover from 1985. probably wont be a new remodel because the statue will be sold for copper scraps by Deblasio in 2021.
