This avaricious hunchback slaver gets put in a surprisingly apposite deathtrap from a group of heroes who up until that point hadn't been particularly imaginative.
He is tied underneath his own heavy mace, which is dangling high above from a rope whose end is looped around a branch and then placed between his teeth. Providing he can refrain from shouting abuse at his tormentors, he might survive and be rescued.
Predictably though, he can't keep quiet for even a minute and we hear him crushed off-screen.




Gort has an idea whilst bullying a hunchback...


The other adventurers look on with interest at the sadistic streak their Giant companion is demonstrating.



Sped just can't keep his foul mouth closed and the last thing he sees is his own mace plummeting towards his face.

I'm impressed you managed to operate your VCR to even see this film.
Anyway, nice comment, eloquently made.
