Ah... cult horror/comedy cinema... not a huge fan of the genre. Still, better than an Easter themed version...
I always felt bad at how height-challenged actors--even great ones like Davis--always get typecast as comic relief ("it's funny 'cause he's wee!") or any manner of dwarves, elves, munchkins, pixies, aliens, etc. That's why I'm pretty sure Peter Dinklage's casting call in Game of Thrones went something like this:
DAVID BENIOFF: We want you to play a dwarf in our new fantasy series.
PETER DINKLAGE: Another comic relief pixie, eh?
D.B. WEISS: Actually, your character is a Machiavellian schemer and gets all the best lines.
PETER DINKLAGE: ...go on...
DAVID BENIOFF: And when he's first introduced, he's in bed with four buxom, nubile and nude young ladies.
PETER DINKLAGE: ...Where do I sign?

Tyrion Lannister is gold-plated AWESOME. Also reminds me of his scene in Living in Oblivion where he rips into Steve Buscemi for thinking putting a dwarf into a dream scene makes it automatically weird and surrealFalseprophet said:
Willow was such an feature of my childhood that I forget that it wasn't a huge success and that many people haven't heard of it.
My favorite part is how Val Kilmer gets cleaner throughout the movie.

Well, horror is one of the few genres so fast and loose with continuity that a "reboot" can be called an iteration without a number and you couldn't tell.
As long as you're on the subject as dark twist on whimsical things, have you ever seen Rare Exports or it's pre-movie shorts?

Ditto for the Waynes World reference. I actually met Warick Davies Years ago when I was a runner. He was in the BBC canteen and i said Hi and asked for the obligatory autograph, he couldnt have been nicer. He seemed pleased that I said I was a fan of Willow rather than Star Wars.
I grew up in the same town as Hornswoggle. Even worked at a Dairy Queen that he worked at for a whole.
I swear that syfy does this all the time. New movie comes out? Syfy low budget movie comes out just before. Weirdest thing in the world.theg8wood said:
