LEGEND (1985)

[koolmike]

Thought it was a pretty decent fantasy...even with Tom Cruise. Special FX were great and Tim Curry was an excellent Satan or whatever horned evil being he was supposed to be. Acting was pretty good. Nice tale of good vs. evil.

These guys freaked me out at first:

I really enjoy this movie. One of the best creatures out of this flick, and also disturbing is Meg Mucklebones. Still creeps me out. :shakes:

Man, I completely forgot about her. She is a great character. Too bad short lived.

Great FX; one of my fav. fantasies. Probably one of the best, if not, THE best on-screen interpretation of Satan I've seen.

no doubt

The lead goblin is my favorite goblin concept. Closest thing outside of certain drawings to how goblins should look like. :nod:

Great movie...they just don't make them like this anymore.
Tim Curry owned this movie. I don't think he was particularly "The Devil" as I remember his calling out to his "Father" when he was being killed.
Great SPFX though...

Agreed. Very well made.

One of my favorite flicks... Fairly oozes with Ridley Scott's style...

I own two versions of the movie, the American Version and the European Version... I like the added and extended scenes of the Euro-version (lengthier interraction with Meg Mucklebones etc), but I love the soundtrack of the American version.

Even had the soundtrack played at my wedding...

I found it interesting to find out that the look of the head Goblin, Blix, was based on The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards... I never noticed it until I watched a behind-the-scenes featurette on the DVD and they mentioned it... then I was like How the hell could I have NOT noticed it... Blix looks just like him!!!

Yes, he does indeed call out to his father. Though, I always thought his father was essentially, the darkness, never any actual being. This is just what I thought, I could very well be wrong.

1000% agree.

I haven't seen this movie in years but god was I obsessed with it when I was a kid. Heh when i was a child I accused it of being a legend of zelda rip off. But all the same this movie is amazing by every sense of the word.

Higher higher burning fire making music like a choir!

I also own the 2-disc Ultimate Edition with the American and European cuts of the film. In all honesty, the Euro score wasn't that bad, but I prefer the sync music featured on the American score, especially during Lily's dance scene in the lair of the Lord of Darkness. It was also nice to see an extended scene with Meg Mucklebones, who I thought was one of the best and freakiest characters I've seen in a fantasy film. I only wished Ridley Scott added more scenes with her.

I haven't watched it in years, but Tim Curry's Satan/evil demony thing has been burned into my mind forever.

Great movie. Freaked me out when I was a kid.
