Product Description

Gawain was a squire in King Arthur's court when the Green Knight burst in and offered to play a game with a brave knight. No knights stand to defend their king's honor. Except for the valiant Gawain. After being quickly knighted Gawain plays the game, but learns that it's all a trick, and he has lost. But the Green Knight shows mercy, letting Gawain grow a year older before having to face the consequences. Gawain journeys across the land, learning about life, saving damsels, and solving the Green Knight's riddle.

One of that select band of movies remade by their original directors, the long shelved and barely released Sword of the Valiant: The Legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight sees Stephen Weeks revisiting his low budget and little seen 1973 Sir Gawain and the Green Knight 21 years later with a healthier but still not extravagant budget, a cast full of familiar faces (Peter Cushing, an off-form Trevor Howard, John Rhys Davies, Ronald Lacey - playing the same role as in the previous version - Douglas Wilmer, David Rappaport, Lila Kedrova, Wilfred Brambell), one genuine superstar and an unfortunately miscast himbo in the lead. And he still didn't pull it off...

Part of the problem is Cannon Films forcing Miles O'Keefe (thankfully and extremely well dubbed by a much better actor, Peter Firth) on him as the hero: first seen forging a sword in what appears to be a jockstrap worn over his pants and sporting what looks like Robert Wagner's old Prince Valiant hairdo with a blonde dye job (his hairdresser bravely taking a screen credit for designing it), he tries his best but often looks woefully out of his depth and unintentionally comical as the bold but not too bright hero who ill-advisedly takes Sean Connery's Green Knight's challenge to liven up an awkward Christmas party at Camelot. As Howard's bad-tempered King Arthur observes, "By the look of you, you haven't come to bob for apples," and the Green Knight does indeed have a different party game in mind: giving any knight who dares the chance to cut off his head, on the condition that he can return the blow if still in condition to do so - which he is after picking up his severed animatronic head and putting it back on.
