Previously featured on YouTube before ultimately being ousted by the powers that be (those powers being the people behind "Nail Gun Massacre") thecinemasnob.com will
feature all of the Snob's videos, old and new, and also brand new shows and full length original movies for those of us who already can't get enough of Z-Grade Cinema.
The Cinema Snob looks at that other movie called "Troll 3," aka "Quest for the Mighty Sword." A movie that is actually the 4 entry to an entirely different series of films.

Hey, look at the bright side: if D'amato had done an "Ator 5/4", it wouldn't have resolved that open ending anyway. It probably would have ended up being another 'Zombi' movie ("Zombi 7: Ator and The Troll"), or worse, a followup to "Porno Holocaust"... Reply to this

This movie just doesn't rip off the "Troll" flicks, it steals the whole "troll being master to the hero" from Richard Wagner's "Ring cycle" operas, two of which were adapted to film by Fritz Lang in the 1920s. The whole "father's sword" bit, of course, was stolen from "Conan the Barbarian"....even the fact that Ator senior becomes a "prince" of some kingdom was stolen from Mako's end narration in "Conan."
I read recently that due to the whole "Troll 2" craze Claudio Fragasso is actually considering making a sequel for it. Since there already are two so-called "sequels" I wonder what he will title it as. "Troll 2 part 3: Revenge Of The Goblins"? Reply to this
