Another balls-to-the-walls Barry Prima adventure film! I'm actually struggling to find a decent way to describe this flick, seeing as something new and amazing is happening constantly in it. A super sword is crafted from a meteor, two warriors trained by the same master set out to get it, conflict ensues. One being the gentle and noble Barry Prima, the other being an evil bastard in the form of Advent Bangun. Of course there's also a plot involving a horny witch, who sends out evil crocodile-men to kidnap male sex-slaves. There's a wide array of baddies, including a gnarly-looking cyclops that appears to be made from paper and assorted garbage. The choreography in the numerous fights is generally pretty bad, but the concepts are neat. The Devil's Sword has the feel of the high adventures of Conan, while still retaining that sweet Indonesian flavour (the flavour of magic!). Contrary to what the German cover above would have us believe, Conan or his sword does not appear in the flick. Still, Bangun is flying around on a levitating rock, Barry parties with horny crocodile queens and everyone else are busy getting their heads chopped off. Truly amazing!
