In this film of the sword and sorcery genre is not an imitation of Conan films with Arnold Schwarzenegger, like other subsequent trash / B-movies as "Ator - Lord of Fire", "Beastmaster - The Liberator" "Thor - The Invincible Barbarian", "Yor, the Hunter", "The Death Hunter / Deathstalker", "A kingdom before our time", "Gor" and "The Barbarian". On the contrary - "The Magic Bow" (1981) was published before the first Conan movie (1982). As with 'Hawk - the keeper of the magic sword "(1980) is, however, a pilot for a TV series no longer produced. Therefore, the story is not finished. Due to the age and the limited financial resources that were available for this purpose, you can also no great special effects expected. Nevertheless, the film could inspire me in my youth and had then waited in vain for a sequel. For the reasons mentioned above, this film, which is now also available on DVD, recommended only real fantasy and nostalgia fans.
