Movie review - "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom" (1985) **

 Enjoyably daft. Starts off like a trailer for other Corman sword and socrcery films using footage from them. Then settles down to an old fashioned "wizened warrior escorts royal boy across the plains" film.

The weirdness is endearing - there's someone in a bear suit and a little person wizard.

The presence of the kid means there's less breasts, torture and rape. Bo Svenson, a familiar Hollywood face, is the hoe. Thom Christopher from late period Buck Rogers is outstanding as the villain.

This was actually sweet int it's way once the story got up and going.
