    There are a silly amount of very different cuts of this film. I watched the UK tv cut (I think at least) years ago on film4, I finished it and I liked it. I didn’t understand where the online ridicule came from. Sure it was campy, but not anymore than other 80’s fantasy movies like Time Bandits. The probable answer: I watched a good cut.

    If you read how the USA theatrical release got butchered by the studio … It was a recipe for disaster. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0089469/alternateversions/
