>>84740977
for the record i love this movie, but why was there even any worry about Nekron in the first place?
They had the lava trump card the whole god damn time so who cares if Nekron gets close since the lava is an instant win?
I mean surely Nekron was powerful but not powerful enough to stop a god damn volcano

>>84740462
its a tough one to call , the Tangerine Dream soundtrack is superior but the Directors cut of the film is much better.
>>
>>84741057
I'm just kind of making up autistic fan theories here but during the scene where the lava goes over the forest, you can hear a ton of monkeys screaming as they are presumably wiped out. Maybe Jarrol saw the lava as a final solution and was reluctant to use it until he had no other choice due to how destructive it would be.
Also I love this movie too you're officially my nigga now
>>
I remember I've seen a movie as a kid, it was more than 25 ago, I don't remember the plot only a few scenes and characters.
There was a strong guy who pulled out a tree with his bare hands, and could rebound a catapulted rock with his head.
There was also a guy who was super fast and when he started to run he made sound like a superbike, there was a scene where he was cuffed by his legs on a some kind of a arena and he couldnt break free.

The movie had italian audio, but I watched it on a pirate satelite so originally it could be from another country.
>>
>>84736250
If you want hollywood movies to be a global industry then perhaps having more people who look like the people who buy them would be appropriate

>>
>>84741154
The way i justified it is Nekron somehow having an anti lava trump card on his own but Darkclaw fucking him up stopped him from using it

That's Boris Vallejo's art. A Frazetta imitator. He's not bad but his poses are too static. Whereas with Frazetta it's like the figures are moving. Julie Bell is the same: all shiny and 80s but might as well be a still life.
