      Willow

      This film describes that in the dark Middle Ages, Queen Bhaf Moda heard that a baby girl who was about to be born would overthrow her rule and become the legal heir to the throne, so she ordered all pregnant women in the kingdom to be executed.

    Evaluation action

    The film is an amazingly expensive film, but it is neither horrible nor fantasy. Its special feature lies in the quality of its production.

Even a huge budget and detailed special effects are just insignificant, unless there is a story that makes them move. On the story...

    Movie quotes

    • Willow: We need your help!

      Madmartigan: [sarcastically] My help? Why would you need my help? You're a *sorcerer*.

      Willow: You're a great warrior! And a swordsman!... And you're ten times bigger than I am, stupid!

    • Willow: Madmartigan, you never, ever drive that fast with an infant!

      Madmartigan: I just saved that infant's life!

    • Madmartigan: Let me out of here, Airk. Give me a sword, I'll win this war for you.

      Airk: I still serve Galadorn, remember? You serve no one. Just sit in your coffin and rot.

      [Rides off]

      Madmartigan: I'll be around long after you're dead! When I get out of here, I'm gonna cut your head off and stick it on a pig pole!
