Dragon Sword: the film that proves that James Purefoy has no agent

[lesbiassparrow]

This film, which I tivoed a while back when SciFi showed it, is really not so good. But somehow they got all of the following to sign up:

1. Patrick Swayze, who doesn't even attempt to disguise his accent in a film set in Mediaeval England, as some English lord

2. Val Kilmer as a random bandit who is a complete bastard (maybe this was filmed in the dark days after Alexander)

3. James Purefoy as the hero (does this man have no agent? Or does he sign up for these things when drunk?)

4. Bill Oddie! As something or other. But it's Bill Oddie!

5. Simon Callow as the father of a disappeared princess.

6. Joan Plowright (I haven't seen her yet though, so I am not sure who she plays)

And there are other people whom I recognise! And savage picts.

HILARIOUS.

This sounds like a flick you take a large strong bottle to.

How did they get so many recognizable actors to be in that piece of crap? Not that its crappiness stopped me from watching the whole thing.
