This movie came and went faster than Damone in “Fast times at Ridgemont High”.
It played in theaters here for like a week and then bombed out. It’s a Sword & Sandal movie starring Gandhi, Vorenus from HBO’s “Rome”, an Uber-hot Bollywood chick and half the cast of “Love Actually”. It’s a totally un historical attempt at melding The last days of the Roman Empire with the Excalibur legend. Forget history (trust me the writers sure did) and sit back and enjoy a cool team mission flick. Watch The Last Legion for the sword fights, the costumes, the hot Bollywood chick, and basically for the geeky fun of it.
If you’re a Sword and Sorcery Geek like me you will have no problem sitting through this one and having a good time.
Classic cinema? No way.
Cheesy sword-fest? Pretty much.
Worth your time as gamer flick? Oh yeah.
Check out Uber-hot Bollywood chick slice her way through a bunch of NPC's.
I had a similar reaction when I discovered this film: http://www.heropress.net/2008/02/unearthing-hidden-gems-last-legion-2007.html
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting. As usual, they all considerately wait to come at her one (1) at a time, and the scene is so tightly edited that we never see Aishwariya actually land a blow. Certainly there is no blood, as that would be, y' know, icky.
ReplyDeleteForward the Cheerleader's Crusade!
Cool! They managed to do a fair bit of acting in that clip without any dialog at all.
ReplyDeleteWhy,, yes Evil DM, I do believe you are correct. That Bollywood chick is indeed uber-hot. I am glad that we could agree on this.
ReplyDeleteI need a triple feature with this, The Scorpion King, and Pathfinder: Legend of the Ghost Warrior. Oh, and a bottle of bourbon. And some pizza.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite gamer flicks, too. All the elements were there.
ReplyDeleteWoo, looks good. Torrenting now (with 40! seeders).
