Info

Once upon a time a god gave a mighty sword to the king of Aquiles to bring justice to his people. Now he wants it back - but the king rather gives his life than the sword. Goddess Dehamira, who spoke for him, is being taken all her privileges and banned in a circle of fire, until a human arrives who's strong enough to free her. When prince Ator becomes 18, he gets the sword from the mean sorcerer gnome Grindl, to free Dehamira and his people. On his journey he has to fight against dragons and other fantastic figures.

Ator IV: The Hobgoblin Audience Reviews

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
cklein-2 It's Richard Wagner's "Siegfried" With All The Names Changed!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_(opera)Grindl- Mime. Ator- Siegfried. Dehamira- Brunnhilde.I can't believe there was no credit at all given to Wagner. Sure, he was a proto-Nazi but the man at least could weave a yarn!So is there any recognizable music at least in this? Maybe perhaps something operatic? Something vaguely... Wagnerian?And how is it that I never saw this masterpiece? A message board I'm on had someone ask what the movie was with a plot about a young man raised by a evil dwarf & he reforged the sword that was rightfully his... and I said "Sounds like Wagner's Siegfried to me!" Someone else actually knew the movie & gave the title as "Quest for the Mighty Sword". And so I am here.
Bneidl I'll always have a special place in my heart for this movie, bad as it is. My sister and I ran across it years ago on HBO and quoted lines from it all summer. In fact, we taped the movie and I often made other people watch it, but nobody seemed to think it was as funny as my sister and I did.I think what I find most interesting about this movie is that the filmmakers would even try to produce an action-fantasy epic with the $500 budget they apparently had. Usually, your independent filmmakers have a general sense of their limitations. They tend to shoot small films that can get by on small budgets. But the folks who made "Quest for the Mighty Sword" thought BIG. They must have had remarkable confidence in their film-making ingenuity--a real belief that through a little clever camera angling, they could turn their fifteen cents into a dollar--turn their plastic sword, overweight lead actor, and single troll costume (used for almost every monster who shows up in the film) into a passable fantasy experience. This isn't "the little movie that could." It's "the little movie that thought it could, but couldn't." Something about that, however, makes the film lovable in its own way.In any event, I sincerely envy these filmmakers. Their power to view the glass as "half full" must be nearly inhuman. They must be pretty happy people, generally speaking.
Draccus-1 Me and my friends used to rent this movie whenever we wanted to show how horrible a movie could possibly get. I would suggest renting it just to see how terrible it is. Make sure you are drunk first though and bring enough liquor in case you sober up before its over.
tyler_durden15 One of the worst ever. But it was a good laugh. I would recommend seeing this if you were drunk on something, or if you are a masochist. Real bad.
