Synopsis
The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) is a sword-and-sorcery romp you can watch online on iFILM. Talon, a wandering mercenary, has no idea he is the lost heir to a throne stolen by a tyrant and a flayed wizard.
His weapon does the talking: a three-bladed sword that fires its blades like crossbow bolts. Talon hires that blade out for coin until Princess Alana begs him to topple the usurper Cromwell, who has resurrected the skinless sorcerer Xusia to seal his grip on the realm. Lee Horsley plays the rogue with an easy grin, Richard Lynch sneers his way through the villainy, and Richard Moll lurks under monster makeup as the undead mage.
Director Albert Pyun, soon to become a king of the budget bin, clearly relished every drop of fake blood and every dungeon set. There is no hidden depth here — just a curved blade, a skinless warlock, and a cliffhanger ending that promised a sequel nobody made for thirty years. If you grew up on Conan knockoffs and cheap 80s fantasy, this one hits the spot. Stream The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) online on iFILM.
