1	!!For the film:
2	* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $27 million (not counting marketing costs), $50 million (counting them). Box office, $16,519,460. In New York City, for instance, the film opened and closed ''on the same day'' in many theaters; even in 1983, that was rare for a ''film''.
3	* CreatorKiller: This is one of multiple projects at the time that ended the career of writer Stanford Sherman.
4	* TheDanza: Almost. Lyssa is played by Lysette Anthony.
5	* DuelingMovies: With ''Film/TheDarkCrystal''.
6	* DVDCommentary: The commentary track consists mostly of the crew making excuses about the special effects and the cast name dropping famous people they've worked with in other films.
7	* ExecutiveMeddling: Frank Price, then-president of Creator/ColumbiaPictures, determined that an unknown American actress would help stateside ticket sales better than an unknown English actress. Price met with Lysette Anthony and told her that all of her dialogue had been dubbed by Creator/LindsayCrouse.
8	* FollowTheLeader: The interaction between the Beast and Lyssa would be done much ''much'' better in ''Film/{{Legend 1985}}'', though Creator/TimCurry had a lot to do with that.
9	* FountainOfExpies: [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon The Glaive]], a strange throwing weapon that resembles a large shuriken with retractable blades. While the name was derived from a European polearm, almost anyone that uses it anymore is usually geared towards this film's depiction of it. From ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' to ''VideoGame/BloonsTowerDefense''.
10	* HeyItsThatSound: The dub for the death screams of the Slayers was taken from the Mayar shrieks in ''At the Earth's Core''.
11	* LicensedGame: A LicensedPinballTable; an Platform/{{Atari 2600}} game; a really confusing arcade game; 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]].
12	* ScullyBox: Creator/BernardBresslaw, who was 6'7" tall, wore lifts to make him several inches taller.
13	* StarDerailingRole: The film killed Ken Marshall's movie career before it could even get started -- fortunately, he found a recurring role in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' as Michael Eddington.
14	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the original screenplay, Colwyn saves Ynyr from the spider in the Widow of the Web's cave by killing it with the Glaive. But, it was cut from the movie.

16	!!For the pinball
17	* TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: ''Pinball/{{Krull}}'' was a completed game, with full playfield designs, artwork, and sound effects finished and ready for the assembly line. However, the high cost of the game (due to its use of a second, full-sized playfield underneath the main level) and the box-office failure of [[Film/{{Krull}} the movie]] caused Creator/{{Gottlieb}} management to get cold feet and kill the project.
