Gunan, King of the Barbarians - 1982

Did I mention I got a second job?  I work at a nice little bottle shop in the Castro area of SF, and it's feeding both my desire to make more money and my desire to learn about whiskey and beer more.  I work a lot though, and then my days off become more precious and more busy.  I haven't had much time for movies lately.  Although, I did carve out time for rewatching X2 and X3: The Last Stand.  Make of that what you will.

Gunan, King of the Barbarians is exactly what you think it is.  Is it a super unknown rip off of Conan The Barbarian?  Yes.  Italian?  Yes.  Super shitty, low budget, and skip-able?  Yessir.

This is the type of flick where they name it Gunan and then the main character is not even called that horrendous name.  Seriously, if you're going to rip it off, at least own the fact your ripped it off.  The main character is actually named Zukahn, and is played by some charmless Italian guy going by an American pseudonym.  This movie, again, exactly what you expect.

I don't feel like I have a ton to say about this.  I barely paid attention.  There was people in animal furs with swords saying things, and dull looking desert backgrounds.  There was some sort of plot I think, something about twins separated at birth and one of them being Gunan - or, I mean, Zukahn.

Also known as Lost Warrior and The Invincible Barbarian, this is a flick one will not watch.  You can't watch this, legally.  I think the law states you're only allowed to tolerate it.  Watching and paying attention can get you 10 years to life I think. I give it a star for trying.

Winterbeast - 1992

 There's many levels of cult film, some of which I am still discovering. Winterbeast is some amateur as fuck, completely non-narrative Z...
