I saw this at the theater when I was 11 or so. Went with my mom. (Everybody in my family loved sci-fi and fantasy, so I was exposed to a lot of different things at a young age.) I love this film! Is it a good film, or a bad one? It’s really hard to tell, but it is awesome. (Just like the 1980 Flash Gordon film. There has to be a name for that effect….)

The art in the colouring book looks like someone channeling/tracing Ernie Colon.

I get to colour Richard Lynch!?! OMG!!! This may the coolest colouring book ever! I hope there’s a page in there of Richard Moll too!

If someone put out a colouring book with Lynch, Lance LeGault, and Al Leong it’d be a must buy for me!!!!

I love “The Sword and the Sorcerer.” I have a well worn but treasured copy of the VHS release as I wait for a Blu Ray to be released. While I was a teenager when this movie was released I can say that, at least for me as a preteen in the mid 70’s, my parents did not really censor what I watched. Not that they went out of their way to let me watch “R” rated movies, it was not a big deal. l really. I was lucky as we had cable ok e by 1976 (Showtime) and my big sisters had HBO. I really looked forward to getting home from school and wait for them to start their broadcasting day (Usually around 3pm). I think parents were just different then as some were probably extremely strict.
Just wanted to say that I wish I had seen those toys or coloring book back the day as I would have bought them. The coloring book has a very odd font (completely unlike any I have seen in connection with SATS) so I may have not even noticed it (also the main guy looks nothing like Lee Horsely or even Matt Houston). I would have bought the toys as well, but I was really into video games by then and rarely paid attention to toys not related to the Intellivision or Atari 2600.
Sorry, I talk too much.
Good memories though.

That first page is still kind of disturbing. He looks like he might be dead chained up like that. I’m reaching for my red crayon.
