Kull le Conquérant, film que je désespère de voir depuis 10 ans. Oh, je sais bien à quoi m'attendre... :mrgreen;Mais bon, comment rater ça ?
Kull est un bon roi. Sa droiture et sa vaillance incomparables l'ont porté sur le trône et il est aimé de son peuple. Seulement quelques noblions corrompus lui vouent une haine féroce et sont bien décidés à l'éliminer. C'est alors que, malgré les tendres sentiments qu'il porte à l'esclave Zareta, il cède à la seduction de la belle Akivasha, une sorcière maléfique que ses ennemis ont ressuscitée pour le tuer au cours de sa nuit de noces.
Quelques "anecdotes" :
Imdb a écrit :* While practicing for the fight scenes, Kevin Sorbo nicked himself with a dull-bladed prop sword. At his request, producers gave him a rubber sword. * The name of Akivasha comes from a minor character from the novel "The Hour of the Dragon" by Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan. * Originally meant to be "Conan the Conqueror", the script was rewritten as "Kull" for Kevin Sorbo when Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to reprise his Conan character. * Akivasha's line, "I am altering our bargain. Pray I don't alter it any further!" is a corruption of Darth Vader's "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further!" from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980). * The famous "With this axe, I rule!" line at the end of the movie is actually the title of a Robert E. Howard short story about Kull, which was rejected by Howard's then primary publisher, "Weird Tales" magazine. He later rewrote and sold the story as "The Phoenix on the Sword", the first Conan story, which makes the item that this project was initially developed to be a "Conan" film somewhat ironic. * 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. * Last cinema film of Pat Roach.
