Hawk the Slayer is a fine piece of nonsense set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons-inspired Heroic Fantasy, a place where longswords, short bows and daggers are swiftly drawn, leather, chainmail and a kind of cloth notable only for its brown-ness remain fashionable and there's always an evil one roaming about. The evil one in this adventure is Voltan (Jack Palance), who's so very evil on account of him bearing a scar on his face that, as we're told by a mysterious figure who lives within a mountain, will not heal. Quite whether the scar came before the willingness to do evil is something that Hawk the Slayer makes clear (Hawk's beloved stuck a torch in Voltan's face during a flashback) but he is quickly doing all manner of terrible things, all of which seem to involve murder. Indeed, the film opens with Voltan murdering his own father as well as the woman intended to be the wife of his brother.That brother is Hawk (John Terry), who arrives too late to save his father but in time to hear the prophecy that he had been guarding and which had seen him slain by his own son. As he dies, Hawk's father gives him a magical sword (which Voltan had desired) and the two are set on a path that will see them face one another in battle. When Voltan breaks into a convent and kidnaps the Mother Superior, a one-handed man with an Automatic Crossbow seeks out Hawk. Hawk comes to the rescue of the Sisters of the Holy Word, promising not only that he will raise the two thousand pieces of gold but will defeat Voltan. Carrying his sword before him, Hawk sets out to gather a band of warriors...The film, though not a big success when released in 1980, has become a Cult Classic since. Such attention has even has served as fuel in still continuing efforts to make a sequel. In 2022, a sequel comic was released in 2000 AD, written by Garth Ennis and drawn by Henry Flint.The film received the RiffTrax treatment in Oct. 2014.

 Hawk the Slayer / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer mentions "two armies", "Voltan's army - the Devil's army, and Hawk's". In the actual movie, Hawk's "army" consists of exactly six people, while Voltan's "army" is in no way satanical and has nothing to do with The Legions of Hell - it's a band of some 100 or so normal human bandits.

The Stoic: Nearly everyone, due to bad, bad acting, but Hawk and his elf buddy rarely show any expression other than "intense staring". Gort, Baldin and Voltan are pretty much the only exceptions, since they can actually act somewhat. Even Ranulf, who's played by an accomplished actor, and is helping Hawk to get revenge on Voltan, does little more than smirk.

In the Back The two men who challenge Crow to an archery contest are running a scam where one stabs the contestant while he's facing the target. Hawk turns up to make sure things are played fairly. Blinded and in pain, Voltan looses off a wild shot with his crossbow and hits Eliane as she's fleeing in a Convenient Escape Boat. After his son dies, an enraged Voltan decides to kill the two men who brought back his body, but allows them the chance to defend themselves. After the first is killed the other throws down his sword and flees, but Voltan just throws a spear into his back.

Easter Egg: As an affectionate nod to the Dungeons & Dragons game that inspired the film's cast structure and setting aesthetics, whenever Hawk's Party is gathered in a strategic meeting, there will always be three six sided dice (which are used in said game to generate your hero's statistics during character creation) clearly visible on the table, front and center of the frame.

Ungrateful Bastard Hawk rescues the witch from a couple of locals who want to burn her for cursing their hogs. She was actually trying to cure them, but they're not in the mood to listen. Gort helps a merchant put the wheel back on his cart, only to be refused payment. So he breaks the wheel again, whereupon some nearby soldiers attack him on the irate merchant's say-so. He makes short work of them, but Hawk turns up before Gort can finish off the merchant. The sisters in the nunnery complain constantly of our heroes attempts to resolve the situation, refusing to accept that Voltan is not simply going to hand over their Mother Superior even if he's paid. Eventually one of them drugs our heroes and hands them over to the Big Bad all tied up. Drogo kills the man who informs him of Hawk raiding the slaver camp, presumably to stop him informing his father as well. Then when a nun drugs the heroes to hand them over to Voltan she is Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves, not on principle but simply For the Evulz. Voltan's grudge is that while he was away fighting alongside their father, his little brother pinched the girl he left behind.

 Hawk the Slayer / int_519f108a
comment
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Voltan actually specializes in throwing daggers (not throwing knives). When forced into an actual sword fight (after this fails against Hawk) he clearly has no idea what he's doing. Hawk also manages an effective throw of his Mindstone Blade against the bandits that held Ranulf hostage. Though this may be part of the Mindstone's summoning power.

Good Witch Versus Bad Witch: The unnamed witch supports Hawk and his band, while Voltan's evil master serves as the movie's Greater-Scope Villain. They never fight directly, though.

And the Adventure Continues: The survivors ride off to seek further adventures. When the witch (played by Patricia Quinn, aka Magenta from The Rocky Horror Picture Show) appears to warn them the wizards are gathering in the south, they decide that south is a good place to go.

The Wizard gives it a handwave, saying that "a strange malady affects [his] face" that he cannot cure, causing Voltan's flesh to degrade while his injury worsens.

Crystal Dragon Jesus: Despite it being set in a Dungeons & Dragons style world (with elves, dwarves, giants etc.) the religion shown is basically Catholicism (although not identified as such): there are nuns in a convent headed by an abbess, the cross is a holy icon, there's an abbot running a monastery, the Devil is mentioned, and people get absolution (though apparently in this world, female clergy can give it). God or a similar figure is not mentioned though, nor Jesus.

Drogo again, with "I am no messenger! But I will give you a message: a message of death!" If that line sounds familiar, you might recognize its use as a sample at the beginning of "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us" by The Darkness.

Holy Burns Evil: Implied. A flashback reveals that, as Voltan was about to kill Hawk, he was momentarily distracted by the light reflected from a cross worn by Hawk. Eliane took advantage of this to shove a torch into Voltan's face. The resulting wound never truly healed and causes constant pain. It is implied that this is due to Voltan's evil nature, and that the blinding may have been an act of divine intervention.

Wound That Will Not Heal: Voltan is serving his dark master partially because he's the only one who can offer him temporary relief from the pain of his facial injury. The Mother Superior offers to use her healing arts, but Voltan rejects this because his master has told him there is no permanent cure. It never occurs to Voltan to question this, and it's implied that it's Voltan's evil that's preventing him from healing, as the cause of the injury itself was not magical.

Dull Surprise: John Terry (Hawk) seldom cracks any sort of expression. Except at the end when he starts smirking.

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Hawk gets the Mindsword and his father explains that it'll come to him if he wills it. But when he and Ranulf travel through a haunted forest, he somehow knows the light it sheds will keep them protected from evil spirits?

Fan Disservice: Pallid and flabby men in loincloths are lined up to be sold down the River Shale, and there's not one buxom topless wench among them. The buyers the Hunchback is selling to aren't impressed either.

Our Giants Are Bigger: Gort is said to be the last of the race of giants. Though in truth he just looks like a normal human, albeit on the tall and heavy side. He's played by the same actor who was the cyclops in Krull, interestingly enough.

You Talk Too Much!: When the hunchback slaver keeps snarling death threats at him, Gort suspends the man's spiked club above his head with a rope, the other end between his teeth. When Gort announces that they're walking off with all his gold, he can't help shouting his outrage...oops!

Artistic License – Physics: The pommel on the Mind Sword is way, way too big and would cause issues if Hawk used it the way he does in the film. The stone is about the size of an egg or a tennis ball, so it'd throw the balance off and could interfere enough to shatter the sword too.

Evil Is Petty: Voltan is a wanton murderer who burns whole villages to the ground and is implied to have been involved with wiping out the dwarves, but the main plot is him holding a nun hostage for an amount of gold the heroes secure by fighting one random gang. The Bishop thinks his actual goal is to establish a precedent, so it may be justified.

Death Seeker: Crow is implied to be this. If this line sounds familiar, it might be because it was adapted, almost word-for-word note "Race" was replaced with "kin" into the song "Last Of Our Kind", again by The Darkness, who must be fans of this movie.
