Trivia

Director Michael J. Murphy made this for approximately £25,000, which explains why the 'epic battle' has about twelve participants.

Cultural

This film is a time capsule of late-80s British backyard filmmaking, when VHS distribution meant ANYTHING could find an audience. The 'sword and sorcery' boom of the Conan era produced dozens of these micro-budget dreams.
