nicopatrizi Review of Iron Warrior

Iron Warrior (1987)

The best Ator movie,but you must not expect so much...

[6/10 · 11 January 2006]

Brescia manages to improve the plot and technical background of Ator after the awful second installment directed by RIP Joe D'Amato and this movie pulls out from the muck of Blade Master. Better FX,some explosions and the hero using more weapons and sword techniques.And this time O'Keefe doesn't lost time with senseless phrases,like "Double Target" 's character he starred. Many clashes.Not one but two bad dudes,Phaedra is a little ridiculous (dangerous like...Madame Razz or Shadow Weaver, he he he), Trogar has more sense,his mask gives a little fright.But the good black witch that pops out in the middle of the flick could save his breath and not ruin the surprise informing us that Trogar was Ator's brother.There are some good chicks,the Yugoslavian actress Sabina Gersak, talent discovered by Brescia. looks good but her haircut is truly forgettable.Why Brescia did not equipped her with a normal fluent haircut and a sword or a dagger or a bow to kick enemies' crotch and ass? This movie can be saved and not at all ditched.But this doesn't say that is great.It's in "Deathstalker I" media. 6 out of 10
