* PrincessClassic: Lyssa. Though in her opening scenes she shows courage, strength of heart, and more than a little independence (for one thing, it's made quite plain that the alliance by marriage was her idea and she bullied her father into it), and when she is captured it's clearly due to lack of fighting skills and training, not lack of desire to fight back.

->''"The ancient prophecy: that a girl of ancient name shall become queen, that she shall choose a king, and that together they shall rule our world, and that their son shall rule the galaxy."''
A [[DistressedDamsel princess has been kidnapped]] by an EvilOverlord, her father has been killed by evil minions, and it's up to TheHero to gather a RagtagBunchOfMisfits to save her and avenge his father's death.
Sounds [[StrictlyFormula sickeningly derivative]], doesn't it?
Well just because the plot is a ClicheStorm, doesn't mean it's bad.
It was originally supposed to be the official ''DungeonsAndDragons'' movie (under the title ''The Dragons Of Krull''), but the license was somehow lost before the film was released. ''Krull'' has a similar reputation as ''HawkTheSlayer'', another D&D kind of film; both were made in Britain. But this may simply be a [[BlatantLies persistent rumor]], given that it has been [[http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=506454&sid=2d1b9ed5266c5aa9b2863c456cf6a6b9#p506454 officially denied]] by GaryGygax himself.
Has nothing to do with the island state of Krull from {{Discworld}}
----
!!!This work provides examples of:
* AllThatGlitters: Implied as a lesson of the Emerald Seer's when the thieves try and take emeralds from his cave, only to find that outside they're simply [[WorthlessYellowRocks ordinary stones]]. In this case, presumably the real treasure of the seer's cave is knowledge. Unsurprisingly, [[TricksterMentor he seems to have a nice chuckle over this lesson]].
* {{Backstory}}: Ynyr and the Widow's past.
* BadassAngster: Rell. It comes with being a Cyclops.
* BigBad: The Beast is both big and bad
* BinarySuns
* BlackEyesOfEvil: A form of GlamourFailure sported by both the Changeling that replaces the Seer and the seductress Vella.
* BlessedWithSuck: The Cyclopes traded with the Beast: one of their eyes (which is why they only have one now) for the ability to see into the future. The Beast ''did'' give them the ability to see into the future - but they can only see the moment of their own deaths.
** Using the knowledge to avoid their death? [[YouCantFightFate That just brings a much more painful death.]]
* BlindSeer: The Emerald Seer.
* BreathWeapon: The Beast fires balls of energy from his mouth.
* ButtMonkey: Ergo most of the time, and is it ever enjoyable watching it happen.
* CarpetOfVirility: Ken Marshall had one.
* {{Casanova}}: Kegan (Liam Neeson), who has a wife or lover in numerous towns ([[UrbanLegendLoveLife or so it is rumored]]). Two wives are known of for sure, and while he never falls prey to OopsIForgotIWasMarried, he does have to do some quick thinking and fancy maneuvering to keep them from finding out about each other.
* {{Cool Horse}}s: Fire mares.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Played with. In the scene when Colwyn retrieves the Glaive from the lava pit, he clearly acts as if there is a great deal of heat rising from the pool, yet is still able to reach in and retrieve the weapon without burning himself or catching fire. However, this is justified by the fact he is [[TheChosenOne the prophesied hero]] who would carry the Glaive, so its magic is implied to protect him from all effects of the lava. So, AWizardDidIt.
* CuffsOffRubWrists
* DidNotDoTheResearch: A glaive is actually a type of single-bladed polearm (and also an obscure name for a sword) not a five-bladed shuriken-discus. Though this may actually be a case of TheyJustDidntCare motivated by RuleOfCool, by combining [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon an awesome weapon]] with the equally cool name of another. Considering the Glaive was "just an old symbol" and Krull was a place of mythical archetypes and cliches, there's nothing to say the name couldn't be attached to something different there anyway.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Ynyr leaves the Widow to go off on his mad adventures, not knowing he had left SomeoneToRememberHimBy. Furious and hurt, she kills their child after it is born. It is to the credit of Francesca Annis and Freddie Jones that the scene revealing this MoralEventHorizon, for which she was consigned to the web, is played with immense sympathy and tragedy thanks to the genuinely pity-inducing punishment she received and her clear regret for her crime.
* DolledUpInstallment: Inverted. See the description.
* DwindlingParty: As the party nears the end of its quest, several characters start dying.
* PreciousPuppies: When the boy mentions he always wanted one, Ergo transforms into a puppy for a few scenes.
* {{Fanfare}}: By JamesHorner
* FuumaShuriken: The glaive is a Western example.
* GalacticConqueror: The Beast.
* GeniusLoci: While not strictly alive or even sentient, the Black Fortress does seem to obey the Beast with great alacrity as if it is just an extension of his will--witness how the dome forms around Lyssa, or how the floor just so happens to crack open under the heroes, then close as Colwyn is trying to climb through. [[spoiler: This would also explain why it [[LoadBearingBoss collapses after he is killed.]]]] If it ''is'' an outer manifestation of the Beast's mind, its MalevolentArchitecture would then be not only a typical EvilTowerOfOminousness, but a reflection of its master being an EldritchAbomination (or at least, not thinking or viewing the world at all the way humans do).
* GiantSpider: The crystalline spider guarding the Widow of the Web.
* HeroicSacrifice: The cyclops and the widow of the web.
** Don't forget the Old One. And in the case of the Widow it was more of a RedemptionEqualsDeath kinda thing.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Ergo changed to a puppy to grant the boy's wish. After changing back, he said it was a stupid wish, although [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold no one is fooled]].
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Very much how the Beast treats Lyssa during her captivity, whether [[ScarpiaUltimatum attempting to woo her]], offering her [[PimpedOutDress gorgeous gowns]] and [[RequisiteRoyalRegalia a floating crown]], or coming right out and telling her WeCanRuleTogether. The motivation for this seems to be a cross of SelfFulfillingProphecy (because her child is supposed to rule the galaxy) and old-fashioned [[ForTheEvulz villainous nastiness]] so that he can taunt Colwyn with having claimed his love and inspired her betrayal. Of course, she refuses--the first clue that while she is a DistressedDamsel, Lyssa isn't just TheChick she seems to be.
** In the novelization, it's more of a case of DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu?. The Beast says "You have been brought here for a marriage, though not of the sort you can imagine. It will be a much more intimate melding than you can conceive of."
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: The glaive, a giant, telekinetic ninja star, with retractable blades. And manually adjustable rotation rate; Colwyn uses it as a rotary saw at one point.
* IneptMage: Ergo
* IronicEcho: Lyssa's twisting of the Beast's words back to him might be {{Narm}} to some, a delicious CrowningMomentOfAwesome to others who truly believe in ThePowerOfLove.
-->'''Lyssa''': ''Power'' is fleeting. ''Love'' is eternal.
* KillAndReplace: [[spoiler:a shapeshifter kills the Emerald Seer and takes his form to get close to Colwyn and kill him.]]
* KillItWithFire: How the Beast is finally taken down.
* LicensedGame: Yes, it existed...three of 'em, in fact! There was a pinball game, a 2600 game, and a really confusing arcade game.
** And a [[http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1626/krull board game containing an plastic-army-man-sized Colwyn and The Beast]], AND [[http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/25901/krull-card-game a card game.]]
* LoadBearingBoss: The Beast
* LoadBearingHero: Rell. [[TearJerker Damn it.]]
* MagneticHero: Colwyn made bandits about to rob him do a HeelFaceTurn and join him.
** He also seems to have so much appeal that a woman sent to seduce and trap him falls in love with him at first sight instead.
* TheMagnificent: Ergo, of course. (His "proper", full name is: Ergo, the Magnificent, Short In Stature, Large In Power, Narrow Of Purpose And Wide Of Vision. Though he will answer to just "Ergo" in a pinch.) [[spoiler: He proves he isn't just comic relief in TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon.]]
