Thundarr the Barbarian Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Shizznit25 OK what do you get if you cross Conan the Barbarian with Star Wars with the end of the world? Thundarr the Barbarian, that's what. OK, so like... guys come on. This show was like the most awesome concept of it's time if not of the last thirty years. So what if it had to be sold as Saturday morning tripe for eight year olds... IT ROCKED and still does. I was only like three or four years old when I saw this show for the first time and I remember watching it religiously. My Saturday mornings were not complete if I did not get to see Thundarr kick some butt. I am just now getting around to re-collecting (ie downloading) shows. The owner's are kinda of dumb not to release it on DVD... they would absolutely make a lot of money. More over... they should re-create the show and get the franchise rolling. Thundarr will be just as good in near-apocalyptic 2005 as it was in near-apocalyptic 1980. Well, they might have to change the cataclysm from 1994 to like a later date... but I'm sure they they can figure it out in another time traveling episode or something. And if not that.. movie rights guys? Hello... every comic book and lame super hero is being turned into a live action film these days...
Akzidenz_Grotesk It was in the episode entitled "Raiders of the Abyss" which is on a 3-episode tape I got at a yard sale. In it, there is a scene with the evil wizard Morak sitting on his throne and being saluted by his henchmen. These aren't the exact words, but you get the idea:Henchmen: All hail Morak! All hail Morak! All hail Morak!Morak: I cannot live on just cheers... bring me my supper!The flippant, sneering "cheers" comment is unexpected because Morak seems to be poking fun at the Saturday morning cartoon convention of evil leaders and their mindless followers! It's hilarious! (to me, anyways!)
Brian Washington This had to be one of the best animated shows of the early 1980's. The plot was pretty simple; a barbarian, a witch and a mutant creature known as a mock travel across the United States a thousand years after a disaster destroys most of the world. They go around fighting wizards and other assorted creatures in hopes of bringing order back to the world. This main thing I loved about this show was the fact that it wasn't like most of the animated shows at the time that felt they had to give a weekly ethics lesson. This show was just pure action from start to finish and it was just great entertainment without any hidden messages. I think this show will always stand the test of time and will always be recognized as a great action/adventure series.
SteveM-1 ....even if it did borrow a lot of concepts from the popular Star Wars movies. Thundarr with his Sun Sword (lightsaber), wise cracking Princess Ariel (Princess Leia) and a large hairy, growling companion, Ookla the Mok (Chewbacca).All these aside, it was still a great series. I liked how the items that are so common in our world, become totally new things in the Devastated Future World. It was also kind of interesting to see the new landscapes and realize that they were actually standing in ruined Los Angeles, Washington D.C., etc.It was somewhat hampered by the cheap animation common to Cartoon Series of the day. I would love to see the series re-made with today's animation techniques. I'm sure it would be even more astonishing.
