1	!! The TV series:
2	* MagazineDecay: A TV example. Some of the later episodes expand the subject far beyond ancient fighting styles into such topics as demolition derby.
3	* NarmCharm: Peter Woodward and the Conquest team got to go to work and play barbarian or ninja or start throwing knives at targets. Quite understandably, they have a lot of fun throughout despite the lack of polish, and it shows.

6	!! The fanfic:
7	* CargoShip: Grand Moff Tharde has an... interesting attitude toward the Death Star.
8	* HilariousInHindsight:
9	** A new Empire rises. The last stronghold of the Republic forces is destroyed right at the beginning. A dwindling tiny force of survivors attempts to flee the Empire, and only survives due to a newly appointed commander of one ship ramming their vessel into the enemy. About fifteen years later, and ''Film/TheLastJedi'' comes out...
10	** Similarly, Romulus is destroyed in both this fanfic and [[Film/StarTrek2009 eventual canon]].
11	* MoralEventHorizon: Ruk has every reason to dislike Chang and the Federation -- but it's still evil for him to throw them to [[FateWorseThanDeath the Borg]].
12
13	!! The film:
14	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The entire score, but especially the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4_jkNx1d7w opening theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuXwDKQsauU "Night Creatures"]]. Really, what do you expect from [[Music/{{Goblin}} Claudio Simonetti]]?
15	* NightmareFuel: The sacrificial victim who gets [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe split in half vertically]] and then [[OffWithHisHead decapitated]] by Ocron's cult. While it's not especially gory by Fulci's standards, it's still pretty unsettling.
16	* SpecialEffectFailure:
17	** The birds that attack Illias and Mace on occasion look almost as fake as the ones in ''Film/{{Birdemic}}''.
18	** The [[Franchise/StarWars Wookiee]]-esque creatures the two encounter are likewise played by actors in very obvious fursuits.
19	* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: It's like ''Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian'' on multiple drugs... after [[Creator/LucioFulci Mr. Fulci]] had attempted to interpret the results of someone doing just that.
20	* ViewerNameConfusion:
21	** Is it Ocron or Okhren? Illias or Ilius?
22	** For that matter, even though all documents (including this page) call the character "Mace", his name in the movie is usually pronounced as "Mayks".
