This retro VHS release, on the trusty obscure-film-friendly D&S label, promises a film "similar to Conan the Barbarian" and name drops "Excalibur" and "The Sword and the Sorcerer" as well. Extremely rare release of a vintage 1960s Italian film - only about half a dozen have turned up.

1980; Der Dolch mit den drei Klingen [Three-bladed Doom] by Robert E. Howard. unknown artist German translation
"Iron Warrior," a vaguely obscure installment in the "Ator" series, made it to Korean rental shelves via the steadfast Daewoo Video label. "Warrior Queen," a Chuck Vincent outing headlined by Sybil Danning, got whirring in decks via the collectible Oasis label - i.e., Vestron International. The line at the top promises (roughly) "slave markets, battles, and lust." Now-rare pair of 1987 programs, from the peak o' the VHS era...
“Swords in the Mist” is a short story collection featuring Fritz Leiber’s sword and sorcery heroes Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. The stories follow the lives of these two larcenous but likable rogues as they adventure across the fantasy world of Nehwon. The duo confronts the mystically concentrated hate of the citizens of Lankhmar ("The Cloud of Hate"), go their separate ways during a period of hard times, the Mouser becoming an enforcement thug and Fafhrd an acolyte of a newly introduced religion ("Lean Times in Lankhmar"), recuperate after their reconciliation with a sea voyage ("Their Mistress, the Sea"), invade the boudoir of an absent sea deity ("While the Sea-King's Away"), traverse a passage to another world ("The Wrong Branch"), and there undertake a bizarre quest to the Castle Mist ("Adept's Gambit").

This retitled release of "Flesh + Blood" (1985) likely had some trimming from the censors but would still maintain its full-blooded adventure elements. Helmed by envelope-pushing auteur Paul Verhoeven, the sword-and-sorcery epic invited critics' to comment along the lines of "Flesh + Blood has plenty of both." Very rare tape now.
From the back cover:
"The Eternal Champion returns! HERO. In every age, in every world, when peril cast its fearsome shadow over mankind, he was called. Always his weapon waited -- Stormbringer, Durandal -- the Black Sword in it's many forms.
"Now, in a world of ice beneath a fading sun he fights the decay of hopelessness -- and the invincible Silver Warriors. Now, as Count Urlik Skarsol, he faces the direst challenge of his career -- to save a dying world! But he cannot take up the Black Sword!"
This very rare first-edition small-box release of "Vulcan, the King of Jupiter" (1962) features some spelling hiccups in the English text and promises renters plenty of myth, action, and fantasy elements. An equally scarce second-edition tape appeared a few years later.

Cult director Lucio Fulci's entry into the sword-and-sorcery subgenre gets new life via the Blue Underground label, which specializes in preserving grindhouse cult faves from the peak 60s-80s era. Unusual film features monsters, mayhem, and plenty of the red stuff...
