After Hawk the Slayer (John Terry) makes an almighty cock up of his defence of the church, he needs rescuing. Up steps the Sorceress, played by Patrica Quinn (more fondly known as 'Magenta' from 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'). Using her powers, she lifts the incredibly heavy wooden bar from the door and...


The sorceress raises the bar on cheesey special effects....village idiot looks on amazed

At this point we should consider the victim. There he is, minding his own business, when suddenly the incredibly heavy wooden bar holding the door shut levitates. Does he cry out? No. Does he ready his staff? No. He walks slowly toward the door looking bemused. As he does so, what looks to be a blowpipe pokes through the open door. Surely facing straight at this weapon he should cry out. No. He waits some more.


hmmm, i wonder what this blowdart poking through the door could portend.....arrrrrgh!

Back to the Sorceress, a woman capable of lifting incredily heavy wooden bars just with the power of her mind. A woman capable of creating impenetrable fogs or transporting people across the land with a mere wave. What weapon does she choose to take out this amazingly naive guard? Silly StringĀ®. Quite frankly I think he deserved such a stupid weapon for being so completely and totally useless.


In the background you can see just how much Silly String was used

[bgcolor=green]Iam not sure you can say this is a death seen,moore like a rendered commpletly helpless and unable t do anny thing seen.indeede the last we see of mr silly string is he is still standing thare helpless as his frends sleep on and our heros make good thare escape,so i relly cant see were this is a death seen,unlike an erlyer seen were our frend the elfen Bowmen fethers the bowels of the obnoxious conman in a despute over an arcery contest,,by the way the elfen Bowman may be the coolest carictuer in the film and a bad dude with yhe long bow.[/bgcolor]
