Kull the Conquerer

DIRECTED BY: John Nicolella

REVIEWED: 09-08-97

Kull is essentially a porno film without the hardcore: hyper-muscular guys, and women in bad Frederick's of Hollywood outfits mouth inane dialogue that they seem to have just memorized, all in the name of getting to the sex scenes. Kevin Sorbo, TV's Hercules, plays Kull, who goes from barbarian peasant to King in the first five minutes of the film. He then moves swiftly to marry evil goddess Akivasha, played by Tia Carrera's leather-uphostelered breasts. This is obviously a big mistake, and leads to a number of swordfights choreographed to heavy metal music. In fact, with all the men in long hair, bangs and codpieces, Kull sometimes seems to be a collection of MTV videos from the late '80s. In spite of all this, Kull is campy in a way that's not overly cute and moves at a swift enough pace to keep adults from falling asleep while junior thrills to the manly fight scenes and makes faces at the yucky parts where Kull kisses girls.
