Production
Polished armor reflecting actual lasers — budget went HARD.
Acting
Nicol Williamson's Merlin: unhinged, horny, possibly not acting.

Every frame looks like a prog-rock album cover come alive.

John Boorman
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The entire film was shot in Ireland because Boorman couldn't get permission to film in England. The Irish government basically gave him a castle and said 'go nuts.'
This film directly inspired everything from 'Game of Thrones' battle aesthetics to 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' — yes, really. Boorman's operatic excess became the visual language of medieval fantasy.
