Product Description

Product Description

Miles O'Keeffe (Tarzan, the Ape Man) and OscarÂ(r) winner* Sean Connery (First Knight) lead "an impressive cast" (Variety), including Peter Cushing, Trevor Howard and John Rhys-Davies, in this epic tale of swords and sorcery that will transport you and your family into realms of the fantastical and make you believe! Shrouded in magic and veiled in mystery, a phantom knight (Connery) thunders into King Arthur's fabled court. Speaking in rhymes and riddles, he goads the king's men into taking a dare. And when one of them, young and valiant Sir Gawain (O'Keeffe), bravely stands to defend the king's honor, he finds himself a pawn in the phantom knight's game a game that will lead him far beyond the kingdom of Camelot and ultimately take his life, if he cannot solve his opponent's riddle!

Amazon.com

Fans of Sean Connery who are curious to see him explore roles outside of his usual heroic characters may enjoy his robust turn as the mythic Green Knight in this 1982 British-made fantasy. Based loosely on the classic epic poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," Connery is quite a sight as the glittering green figure, who challenges young Gawain (Miles O'Keefe of Tarzan the Ape Man infamy), a squire in King Arthur's court, to solve his riddle or lose his head. O'Keefe is a stiff Gawain, and the film suffers under its low budget and awkward comic moments, but Connery and the rest of the cast (which includes Trevor Howard as Arthur, John Rhys-Davies, Lila Kedrova, and Peter Cushing) are game and provide sufficient star power to keep fantasy-adventure fans distracted from the film's shortcomings. Writer-director Weeks also directed a version of this story in 1973, with Murray Head of Jesus Christ Superstar fame as Gawain. --Paul Gaita

    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
    Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    While not completely literarily accurate, this version of the story with largely practical effects has both that nostalgic 80s quality, and that weird je ne sais quoi of mysterious and sometimes arbitrary seeming transpositions in plot direction that pervades a lot of Arthurian legend, and older literature generally. The plot isn't direct from any story, but it does draw heavily on elements of Arthurian legend and the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, unlike the more recent film.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Green goes the Knight
    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    I first saw this production about twenty years ago, more or less. I like the nod it gives to the celto/pagan elements of the tale. The armour, while not probably what Arthur and his men may have worn, assuming they existed, and they may have, it is still in keeping with the traditional vision of what a knight looked like. There is an interesting mix of romantic knighthood vs the bully-thug with the sword. The behavior was, perhaps somewhere in the middle. The sound effects and special effects are a little dated, but, well, it is about twenty years old. The Green Knight's axe looks sharp and deadly, but the effect is ruined by the jetcraft sounding noise which whirrs as Connery swings it about. I strongly recommend this for any language arts instructor teaching the Arthuriad or mythology.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Surely you joust
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Make no mistake about it, this is a crummy movie! And yet, oddly endearing in its ineptitude. It takes a combined effort to make something this terrible, to waste the talents of such luminaries as Trevor Howard, Peter Cushing, John Rhys-Davies, and Sean Connery, all in one sitting. In this regard, they did a bang-up job, sparing no expense (one assumes the expenses, or expectations, weren't too high to begin with).
    I guess this falls into the category of Sword & Sorcery for genre sake. It starts with a challenge (some would say threat) from a Green Knight (Sean Connery) that Gawain (Miles O'Keeffe) accepts then quickly segues into another fight with a Black Knight who guards a city to nowhere. Let's just cut to the chase and say there was a lot of running and fighting and running and more fighting (it was pretty disorganized). You might even call this a road picture because it certainly wasn't much of a buddy flick (Gawain having lost his sidekick/servant early on in favor of a distressful damsel with one very big ring). There's also a riddle I forgot instantly, a witch and a hag who stole Maleficent's headpiece, Sean Connery all a splendor in green and sparkles, some warring factions, Peter Cushing as a sage on the sidelines, a red Muppet-like frog, a horny prince (also a toad). Think of it as a live action Fractured Fairytale and your head won't explode while you're trying to figure it all out. Did I mention the unicorn? At least there was a jolly tone throughout and the story fairly zipped along....it didn't make much sense but at least they were quick about it! I especially liked the rack humor. And the joust.

    Would I ever watch it again? Hey, I was stupid enough to watch it twice, that's my limit.
    Not a keeper (so I won't be tempted to accidently watch it a third time).

    And who names their kid Gawain? Don't tell me he didn't have a hard time of it in knight school!

    This has to be one of the campest arthurian films available with bad hairdos and spandex tights aplenty! Brilliant acting and scene play and AMAZING music makes this mystical comedy worthy of the same respect of Sword and the sorceror, Krull and Hawk the Slayer!! A MUST HAVE FOR FANTASY FANS!!!!
