Barbarian Queen

Corman's Argentine Conan-with-women, honest bottom-shelf swords and loincloths.

Deathstalker

Corman in Argentina. The genuine article, for better and worse.

▶ watchcult

The Sword and the Sorcerer

A three-bladed sword that fires two of the blades. Sold on that alone.

Yor, the Hunter from the Future

Starts as caveman fantasy, becomes science fiction with no warning.
