Sword and the Sorcerer: Tales of the Ancient Empire is being made
I love this movie and was always bummed that that sequel never came. When the credits start to roll after Sword and the Sorcerer it says "Watch for Talons next adventure: Tales of the Ancient Empire". And now after 25 years..good lord, it is being made. I hope Lee Horsely climbs on board.

Damn, has it been 25 years. This was probably the best movie of its genre that I've seen.

In Pyun’s words, “It’s got a sexy sorceress, hordes of demonic vampires, a giant serpent, sea pirates, nasty sword (and axe, spear, leg of cow) fights and gore and nudity galore. Everything that a rousing adventure needs to have.”
Pyun plans to make it as a true, hard R rated film.
I'm there.

I'm wondering if they'll bring back the triple bladed sword. The nerdy kid inside of me who watched it in the theater loves the idea, but I have to admit it was a stupid weapon.

The original movie made as much money as Conan did back when they were released both made about 39 Million which in 1982 was a huge hit, even though the production values were a lot lower than Conan. I have always had a soft spot for this movie. I just wish there was a better DVD out for it. The current one is really hard to watch.
I will check out the new one if and when it ever gets made.

OMG I remember I used to love the triple blade sword when I was a kid. Used to catch this on HBO back in the day.

Kinda bummed about Horsley not being in it, but just as long as the 3 bladed sword gets some screen time I'll be happy....I think.

It's all about the first movie SE ... as noted above - there's no way you can recreate that kind of awesome majesty. srs

Thatnks, BuddyRevell. That's good news. 
Now here's hoping we here of a DVD SE and a BD release of Sword and the Sorcerer.
