YMMV: Krull
  • Nightmare Fuel: The Cyclops standing in the dark, where you only see his one eye. This freaked out Ergo, who then decided to join Colwyn.
    • When the Slayers are killed, they shriek, spark, their heads split open, and you can briefly see wet, dark red things slipping out of their skulls and burrowing into the earth...and it's never explained.
  • Awesome Music: The music during the scene where the group rides the Fire Mares to the Black Fortress.
    • James Horner's score for this film has gotten four different album releases, each one expanding on the previous one.
  • Cult Classic: Stands alongside The Beastmaster, Flash Gordon, Hawk the Slayer, and Big Trouble in Little China as example of cheesy '80s cinema.
  • Dueling Movies: With The Dark Crystal.
  • Ho Yay: Perhaps there's a little between Ergo and Rell. Certainly there's something about the way Rell looks at him upon that first encounter....
    • Not to mention that when Rell stays behind to die, Ergo is the only one who shakes his hand, with a dejected "We had no time". No time for what, I imagine?
  • Moment Of Awesome: The film has its moments.
  • Narm Charm: A big reason a lot of this movie is So Bad, It's Good.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Look! Liam Neeson! Robbie Coltrane!
  • So Bad, It's Good: It has its moments.
  • Special Effects Failure: The Beast was shown with obvious camera tricks.
    • When the heroes are riding the Fire Mares, it couldn't be more obvious that they're in front of a green screen.
