Summary: The Devil's Sword lies hidden in a secret cave inside Devils Mountain, everything evil will fight to the death for it. "For whoever possesses the sword, will rule the kingdom!" Four warriors attack the keeper of the mountain and try to force him to hand over the map that will lead them to the sword. The tortured keeper escapes and runs to Mandala, his master, who after hearing of the attempt, sets off on his own journey to save the Devil's Sword. He has many blood-curdling battles along the way, he is attacked by the evil crocodile men and encounters many fiendish traps set for intruders entering the mountain. At last, Mandala captures his prize - can he call upon the Gods and use the mystical sword against the raging warriors with their awesome magical power? Will he win the fight with the crocodile queen who craves the Devil's Sword at any cost?

I think it is pretty cool to see a fantasy action movie from a culture I know next to nothing about.
Also that "throw a rock, jump on it and ride it into battle" is a pretty dang boss move.
Would you trust a carpet that could be cut or burned?
Absolute Chad move
Considering the evil queen can't get no satisfaction, so to speak, it's no surprise her evil servant is named Banu Jagger.
You win today.
The decapitating hat is a flying guillotine. Now you can review MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE. It's got a ninja and a one-armed boxer and Dhalsim from Street Fighter. Good Stuff.
true ,but that dont beat " 2 Crippled Hero,s " ,complete w/karate monkey & his swingin testies !
Flying Gullotine is in my top 5
Gene Sanford
That one is hilariously insane.
Wonder why none of these channels do the better ones, like Duel to the Death.
Always wondered what the guys in Loudness did for a day job during the leaner days
1:10 flying boulder like the incomprehensible "Zardoz" with Sean Con-nery.
Too many fight scenes in a martial arts film? Lol...
I thought this movie was actually pretty good for what it was. A lot of the scenes were shot very well, and most of the sets were above what might be expected for a probably very low budget. It works a lot better than Hammer's attempt at the genre.
Good video, Robin...keep digging up these "classics" for us!
That one bit in The Matrix Reloaded when neo has to fight all the agent Smiths simply went on way to long.
Pretty much all the fight scenes in the Matrix sequels. Neo's basically a God, so none of them have any stakes or point.
@@Talisguy Not really. He had to flee that one. He didn’t win
@@thribs true but then later he gets what's basically a papercut blocking a blade with his hand lol. When it got to that point i couldn't help but wonder if during the burly brawl neo just got bored lol.
Edit: forgot to add i do agree while not too bad on a first watch, it did feel like it went on a bit long for what it was in the movie
*too
"...attacked by a man with a decapitating hat..." Somewhere, Odd Job sneezes.
I'd swear that my friend and I used to have this on VHS back in college. We used to mix it up with Thunder Ninja Kids Hunt for the Devil Boxer, which you need to look up just to see the DVD cover.
Everything on that cover happens.
Even the UFO.
Even the vampire children.
Even the Iguana.
Looks like the perfect movie for a rainy Sunday afternoon with the family...
Banu Jagger has the best entrance in any movie ever.
Felt sorry for the guy who hit wth his flying boulder in the beginning. 😢
1:10
That's not a boulder, squidward. That's a rock. A rock! The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles!
Indonesian movies are always crazy and fun. They remind me very much of the Turkish genre films with their anything goes spirit.
These 2 weeks got recommend small review channels, this is one of them. Wonder if others stumble upon here the same way.
As for fight scenes that go on too long and kill the momentum, I would say both the freeway fight and the thousand Agent Smith fight from "The Matrix Reloaded".
Agreed. Ye gods, what pace-killers.
This is one of my all time favourite films! Thanks for sharing!
The (seemingly) hour long fight between Superman and Zod in Man of Steel. I literally dozed off and it was still in progress when I awoke.
Very cool shirt, Robin!
This movie is the best. Its like a sister film to Mystics In Bali, Somewhat....
As done by the Shaw Brothers.
Good work as usual. I think since this lockdown started I've watched all of your videos. You should check out Night Train to Terror sometime.
This looks great! Cheers for the heads up.
it’s just a flesh wound, I’ve had worse.
@0:40, have they lifted the soundtrack straight from Videodrome, or just come very near to copying it?
This looks like a fun watch. Thanks!
6:42 Parting threats are severely undermined when followed up by diving headfirst into a hole 😆
Especially after having been stabbed in the nipples.
😄
That riding-in-on-a-flying-boulder effect wasn't half bad! (Pity about the soundtrack, though...)
Only movie I've seen where the quest items literally glow.
That decapitating hat I think is a riff on the 'lightning strike' or more commonly known 'guillotine' weapon from kung fu movies.
Okay, "kicking a boulder and than riding it" might be even cooler than Yor killing a giant bat and use it to glide across a canyon.
At least they actually gave an attempt at all the special affects, couldn't say the same for a lot of old Hollywood films at that time...
This looks awful. I hope I can find it!
It's on youtube: ruclips.net/video/HoIuBebirPA/видео.html
More historical documentaries and spot on commentary!
I have the urge to buy this movie on DVD and watch it every weekend
Excessive fight scenes? The endless light saber battles in the Star Wars prequels. Also known as 'the movies that shall not be named in my home'.
"Thanks Elvis." Ha!
Two "The Devil's Sword" reviews in ONE day!? I feel SO blessed!
You could just watch the movie itself while you're at it. ruclips.net/video/HoIuBebirPA/видео.html
This is definitely a film that's worth seeing, but don't put too much energy into trying to understand it! One of that minority of b-movies that would actually have benefited from *more* exposition (or dialogue generally).
The heroine has as much/little character development as the far more common male action hero of the time, so a rare equality of sorts!
Bonkers, but entertaining.
'Man knows how to make on entrance (on a flying bolder )- and slaughter a village'- cool
"Riding on a boulder"? Someone needs to make that a hit single - Internet, GO!
I can't help myself - I LOVE the Crocodile Men!
They manage to make Sleestaks look dignified, somehow.
There was so much carnage, that there was blood splatter on the camera.
The cyclops looks like he stepped out of Ship of Monsters, a Mexican space invader film.
(That one would make a good review. It's largely a comedy, so anything goofy about it is deliberate.)
I saw Cosmic Journey, and it's one of the best Soviet Science Fiction film of 1936.
That looks like the same cyclops featured in the Mexican films SHIP OF MONSTERS and SANTO AND BLUE DEMON VERSUS THE MONSTERS. How did it wind up in Indonesia?
Oh wow! I thought I had seen that cyclops somewhere before! Now I know, thanks!

Work visa 😄
"They Live' has a near interminable fight sequence that starts with a classic line about bubble gum , but then won't stop. I've always thought that Johh Carpenter did this simply to add run time. The film is still quite short.
Which is strange because you would think the fight scene between Roddy Piper and Keith David would be pretty entertaining but it's somehow just not.
Actually, he did it as an homage to and attempt to beat the record-long fight from “The Quiet Man” and the bubble gum line occurs at a different place (at the start of the bank shooting).
The fight scenes in ‘The Matrix’ were played out after the first one. I believe it’s a great story, but I FF through the fight scenes...serious.
I saw elements from CLASH , STAR WARS, RAIDERS, and other fantasy films. I'd have list this movie in the PLAN NINE camp; so bad that its fun as Hell.
There are so many bad fight scenes that either suck the life out of a movie, or ruin altogether. Believe or not, most of them have been bad American Kung Fu movies from the 70's and 80's.
I just love the magic umbrella!
Brits "too much fighting"
Americans "not enough guns"
Irish "not enough whiskey or red headed chicks"
Me "it could use a few more fight scenes"
So much for the MeToo movement’
Try It! A Hammer film about a golem featuring Roddy McDowall from 1967. No fighting but a religious context. Take care now, ya hear.
You wish they'd "cut" back on the fight scenes, eh? Heheh, I see what you did there....
As I remember, the fight scenes in Hell's Angels on Wheels almost seemed shoehorned in.
I think the amusement park one works at least, and of course the one at the end.
Of all your reviews, this is my favorite by far for one simple reason: "Your majesty! How come, you bitch?!" Completely hilarious. If only I had the opportunity to add that into the occasional conversation.
Not sure but this movie looks....AWESOME!! I must add it to my collection at once.....you bastard!! BALDY!!!
I know of 3 films where the fight scenes suck the life out of films: the last 3 Star Wars films
the hero uses the same form of transportation as Tao Pai Pai from Dragon Ball
@4:25 I've seen something similar in one of the classic Kung-Fu movies out of Hong Kong.
This movie looks GREAT!
Why isn't Banu Jagger a playable character?
Definitely Dracula and the 7 golden vampires has the most tedious fight scenes, and I love every moment ❣
Lordy this looks fucking phenomenal.
Yes please!
This looks spectacular.
You guys should review Reptilian/Yongary (1999). It's "The Room" of kaiju movies. It's on RUclips in its entirety.
Be a good follow up to his review of the original version: ruclips.net/video/asfuzRs7GxM/видео.html
Fight scenes that suck out the energy? Return of the King! We could give Aragorn a character arc, or... let's squeeze in another orc battle, and he can just stare moodily at his phallic sword.
I've never understood this complaint people have about the bad guys always 'waiting their turn' to attack. I can't even walk into the break room at work without getting in someone else's way every single time, how are two people supposed to punch the same guy without bumping into each other?
I like the fire breathing croc. It should be part of Disney World in the Animal Kingdom.
Those jump shots
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review "Nine Demons" from the director of "5 deadly venoms" Cheh Chang.
I’d love to see your take Last Hurrah for Chivalry or Duel to the Death...
But, they are both a bit too straightforward compared to this. 🤣
I have never seen this movie before but it looks like a lot of fun can I suggest a movie for review a movie called Legend of eight samurais I seen it and it's a good movie I recommended
Saviour of the Soul (1991) one of the weirdest movies ever made.
5:04 it didn't occur to the croc-men to use their jagged jaws
Man with a decapitating hat , Oddjob had one of them
Battle Creek Brawl (aka The Big Brawl Jackie Chan's first US movie.The fact they used US stuntmen, and a couple of American wrestlers (Ox Baker and Hard Boiled Haggerty made the fight scenes fell slow and clunky.
Saw this one on an airline flight from the reptilian part of my brain to the deep recesses of my Id. Really enjoyed it.
The fight scenes are just so over the top, what's not to like? Also the gang of men waiting their turn to attack the hero is pretty standard on any movie.
03:05 Death, by Snu-Snu !
The mind is willing, but the body is weak.. and spongy!
Currently $48 plus shipping on Amazon. What a bargain.
Can you please do a review on "Wizards of the Demon Sword 1991"
It has occurred to me that the reason the world can be so depressing is because not only are there movies like this, the people who make them and the audiences who take them seriously, it's like being surrounded by zombie Nazi vampire hookers. But what alleviates the ennui are your reviews. I have commented before that I dislike horror films, but I enjoy this channel I see "Dark Corners," I click, watch and enjoy!
New bad movie reviews every TUESDAY??? I thought they came out on Mondays! Like today, Monday May 25th. Or are you guys going to change things up/
So they use to come out on Tuesday UK time, but slowly slipped back to Monday 10pm UK time when we realised more Americans were watching.
Answer to your end question:. Iron Monkey 2 (from the late 70s, not the 90s film).
Young men from local villages stand in line.
Oh my god. What a insane movie :)
4:20 Beat thing I've ever seen 😅
1:48 you didn’t say it right. It’s supposed to be 🎶 _DE-CAP-I-TA-TIOONNN!!!_ 🎶
A lot of fight scenes in Zach Snyder movies get boring eventually. I watched 300 last night and the fight scenes were initially entertaining, but eventually got to be too much.
This felt very 70s Tokusatsu, lol. You should think of reviewing some of those - most of the best were tv shows, but a bunch of them technically had movies (even if they were only about a half hour long)
In short.....this is a must see.....
OMG. I have to watch this movie
The guy with the flying Boulder makes me wonder if they ripped off Dragonball, or if Dragonball ripped off this movie...
They both came out in 1984 so it’s unlikely that either had time to copy the other, but since DB borrowed ideas from Journey to the West (including the Monkey King flying on a cloud) chances are this movie did the same, if anything 🤔
Was this written a hormonal teenage boy who was into Kung fu movies?
so "devils sword" is not a euphemism?... oh my bad!
Anyone that likes this movie will also enjoy "Nine Demons" It's on youtube for free actually.
This movie went so far against free sex and the essence of sexuality itself, it could have been THE iconic Hollywood production...! Well, with a higher budget, of course... Cause no price is high enough, when promoting a prudish lifestyle...
Is this the birth of Double Dragon?
She was pretty understanding about finding her fiancé having sex with the queen. I know there were extenuating circumstances, but if I was a warrior who'd fought my way there, I might be much more irate.
Please adjust the 'cutting back and forth' format. It's somewhat headache inducing. Time to evolve?
Hold up, I got to see this one🍿
When a vicious pandemic ravages the cities and towns of his beloved country... One man takes control of his facial hair so that he looks angry about everything. The world is about to discover that his content is about to become even more entertaining.
Nove away Son Goku, here comes Beni Jaga.😝
