Ironmaster (1983) **

Ironmaster—no, it's not an exercise machine. It's Umberto Lenzi's 1983 sword and sorcery cheese-fest and it's...just all right. It's not as fun or as weird as Antonio Margheriti's Yor, The Hunter From The Future (1983) [review)], nor as wild and freaky as Lucio Fulci's Conquest (1983) [review], but it's still pretty entertaining (with the right audience). What never ceases to amaze me is just how much of a craze this genre was in the '80s and how many Conan The Barbarian (1982) [review] rip-offs were spawned.
