    @89th said in Finally. After 30+ years.:

    Cool trailer

    I don’t get it. I don’t really see anything special that other fantasy/adventure movies haven’t already done. :man-shrugging:

    I don’t get it.

    You don't get something related to movies? I'm so surprised!

    It's not a cheesily made B-grade Asian rom-com so it might not be up your street, but the movie is a cult classic. The trailer's audience was everyone who saw the original, and they make references to it throughout.

    Please love yourself.

      @Aqua-Letifer This is the first I remember hearing about Willow. Was it a movie?

      But yeah, cool trailer.

      Only the greatest fucking fantasy movie of all time, Mark. πŸ™„

      πŸ˜„ It came out in the 80s. It was supposed to be an ambitious 3-part series, but they ran out of money while making it and it didn't kill at the box office, so the follow-ups were scrapped.

        If we're talking all-time 80s fantasy, Dark Crystal beats Princess Bride any day, hands down. Freaking Beetlejuice too.

                I know some 80's nerds think Willow is the ultimate fantasy. But besides you and the other two guys, it's a very small advocacy group.πŸ˜›πŸ˜›

                  Never saw Willow - I'm not a "fantasy" fan.

                      Yah. I watched about 30 minutes of Wheel of Time and...meh.

                      Gimme The Expanse, or Halo.

                        My niece named her daughter Elora. I don't think she named her after the movie though.

                        Anyway, how different do you think the original sequel is from the one they eventually put out? IIRC in the movie Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley were left with the baby.

                            Star Wars is considered more fantasy than Sci-Fi.
