There’s bad. There’s so bad it’s good.

And then there’s Ator 2: The Blade Master: a sword-and-sorcery disasterpiece that transcends failure and becomes pure comedy gold.

 

MonteCristo and DoA continue Nerd Legion’s 1980s fantasy marathon with the most unintentionally hilarious movie ever filmed. From its wooden acting and nonsensical dubbing to its unforgettable hang glider bombing run, The Blade Master proves that even terrible movies can become classics in their own chaotic way.

 

Along the way, the hosts explore the bizarre Italian fantasy boom of the 1980s, Ator’s legacy as the world’s dumbest hero, and how this film’s director went from swords and sorcery to adult cinema.
