This 1983 film features invaders from outer space, armed with laser weapons attacking a fantasy world. Alright so the movie isnt that great. The plot is fairly standard and the main characters are rather boring. Still, I was quite fascinated by the setting.

I never really know what the phrase "a Blackmoor book" or "a Blackmoor movie" is supposed to mean.

Gord the Rogue is "a Greyhawk book" (actually, several of them) because the author is the Greyhawk creator and the setting of the books is clearly in the Greyhawk campaign.

There aren't any similar things to go with Blackmoor. :(

Do aliens and lasers make "a Blackmoor movie"? Is it just a mix of high tech and fantasy? Would anything steampunk qualify, or does it have to have a root in fantasy with an overlay of tech? Or maybe it has to be something that inspired Blackmoor, implying that it had to come first. I'm not trying to be a pain. I've never quite figured this out for myself.

When I think of Blackmoor I think of fantasy first, and little pockets of tech wierdness as an afterthought. I suppose that using that guideline Krull has a similar pattern to it so maybe it qualifies, but it's not a connection I might have made on my own. :oops:

What Fyn has said.

Yeah, Krull is kind of Swords & Planets. But there, the similarities stop.
