| Elevator Pitch | When Sir Gawain is injured in a tournament his squire takes over and as a result is given the task, by King Arthur, of escorting a princess back to her home in Wales. Meanwhile vikings have stolen Excalibur, and the knights go north thinking it was the Scots. The vikings also capture the princess and so the squire – later revealed to be a viking prince – must go in pursuit. | ||
| Content | The knights stagger about in armour, the set pieces involving fights with swords and bows and arrows, are connected by cartoons and voice-over. There are scenes in the court of King Arthur and in forests and Welsh hills and in the viking lair. There are some ladies in skanty garments and you see the female star’s bum once. But no sex, no actual nudity, a bit of drinking and some confusion. | ||
| A View | Unfortunately this is not a fun watch, even for those of us who continue to look for good in films which have been panned. It might have been better before the producers got the scissors out. So all in all it might be better to give it a miss. | ||
