Episode 210 - Kull the Conqueror
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we dive into some of cinema's biggest box office failures and explore whether they deserve a second chance.
Sword and Sandals month “swings” back into Robert E Howard-town with 1997’s Kull the Conqueror. Originally intended to be the third Conan film, Kull trades Arnold Schwarzenegger for Kevin Sorbo. Yeah, downgrade there. Also, somehow this film cost $35 Million and has some of the most fart rockiest, fart rock to ever fart rock. All that being said, is Kull the Conqueror worth a rewatch? Should Kevin Sorbo change his name to Kevin Snorebo? Would Fabio make a better Kull? Can the lovely and talented Tia Carrere save this thing? Listen and find out!
Kull the Conqueror is director by John Nicolella and stars Kevin Sorbi, Tia Carrere, Thomas Ian Griffith, Litefoot, Harvey Fierstein, and Karina Lombard
