Welcome to the Ronin Katana Giveaway for the week of February 22 - 26, 2016! For the month of February we will be giving away a silk sword bag every week. Did you win one yet? If you haven't, this is your last chance - so please don't pass it up! This contest is brought to you by Ronin Katana and sponsored by RK Entry Level Katana Model #8, only $130 at RoninKatana.com In order to participate, simply reply to this thread with an answer to the Contest Question and your name will be entered into the draw. On Saturday, February 27 the winner will be announced after their name is picked using a random number generator. As mentioned above, the prize will be a Ronin Katana silk sword bag shipped for free to your home. The Contest Question for this week is inspired by bad sword movies - as you may know, these are a personal favourite of mine. Is there anything better than a terrible fantasy movie? So here is your question: What is the Best Worst sword or fantasy themed movie you've ever seen? Make it a good (bad) one, and you could win. Full disclosure - I'm shamelessly using this contest to get ideas for my next bad movie night. Good luck! |

Merlin and the Sword. Gosh-awful movie, and yet... I love the Arthurian legends, and 80's fantasy movies too. So there were parts of the movie that I sort of liked and hated at the same time.

The movie based on Dungeon Siege (one of my favorite games): In the Name of the King. God awful, but Jason Statham rocks. Second win would be Seventh Son, which had amazing Arms and Armour pieces but had a story/script that made me leave the cinema.

An extremely old one "The Magic Sword" Really godawful with absolutely no redeeming qualities, so many of you will just love it.

My bad one was already taken, deathstaker so much like it's namesake's (Conan) female lead spinoff Red Sonya, I'll say it's female lead spinoff Barbarian Queen. Same crew and most of the same actors with all the soft-core porn/ sword and sorcery of deathstalker. Then again there's always Troma Film's Time Barbarians to fall back on....
My favorite good fantasy sword film has to be Willow. Kind of a rip on LotR by Lucas but all in all a great film and my top fantasy film from the 80's.

I can't remember the name, but it was based on Dungeons and Dragons and I rented it from a local library. Felt dumb renting it, felt dumb watching it. Awful movie throughout.

I got to go with Equilibrium, is such a good movie but at the same time is really cheesy and the final fight was just laughable. Damn now I got to see it again.

I'll throw in my vote for the truly awful "Sword of the Valiant".

This thread has been pretty useful for me. I'm currently unable to do pretty much anything other than sit around drinking beer and waiting for this broken leg to heal, so these are good distractions that help pass a few hours.
