Very cool that _Willow_ is finding new appreciation in recent years. Watching it today, you can see how easily Ron Howard (of all directors) could've adapted _LOTR_ at any time. He creates an impressively immersive & grand scale fantasy reality. _"WILLOW cost $35 million...and it's made alot of that back"_ - Warwick Davis in 2013's Ricky Gervais produced BBC2 comedy _Life's Too Short_ A hilarious show, Davis plays a fictionalized version of himself as the "struggling has-been star of _Willow"._ Val Kilmer & Liam Neeson cameo.

@@Shigawire About Willow, my tagline is often, "This time, I was right when I was 4."

I always took the ending of their battle with Bavmorda as her ritual completing at a really unfortunate time for her. Perched over the altar, distracted by Willow's trick, her ritual completes and shes the one whos exiled instead of baby Elora. Just goes to show, you should never underestimate your opponent. Be it a little person, an old woman, your daughter, or a baby.

This movie is a fav of mine. The thing I remember most strongly though, is that I don't think I've ever seen, before or since, such an expressive baby in a movie. Really thought she was such a cutie.

This is one of those old movies that had such a good story, acting and for the time imaginary effects that they make you forget about the effects that don’t hold up. You were caught up in the story that your imagination filled in the gaps. I wish instead of remaking movies they would restore them and fix the effects. Just to keep them around longer.

You have actually seen a young Warwick Davis before, much younger than this you just didn't recognise him; he was Wicket, the main Ewok in Return Of The Jedi.

Willow is considered to be a Christmas movie in France, it was on almost every year during the holidays in the 90s.

When this movie was released, I had a friend who believed it was Star Wars: Episode One, and couldn't be told any different.

Willow is such a hidden jem. So glad you finally got to experience it. Might I also recommend a couple more fantasy films such as The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. A good Val Kilmer movie I can recommend is Real Genius.

A few fun facts: Warwick Davis was about 18 in this movie. Sorsha’s father was the king of Tir Asleen. Bavmorda and Finn Razel fought for his affections. The king was good, even though Bavmorda was evil. All Sorsha wanted was to please Bavmorda, which was impossible.

this was a real fun movie when I first saw it for sure. Was just old enough to be reading fantasy books and looking for movies on the subject as well. One small detail I liked was this was the first time the human group wasn't simply referred to as human or 'man'. Which if different humanoid species coexisted, it would make sense they would have different names or nicknames for each other.

It's interesting how Willow took a lot of influences from LOTR, and in turn the LOTR movies would later be influenced by Willow

I was so happy when you posted this, never would of thought you ever watch this masterpiece. I don't know if you notice Mary but the soldier that got slapped by Bavmorda was the same guy who was wearing the skeleton mask. Also Willow(Warwick Davis) was 18 years old when he made the movie.

"You are drunk and when you are drunk you forget that-" "That you are in charge. Okay, so which way should we go? " Chorus: "THAT WAY! "

Pretty amazing that Warwick Davis was only sixteen when he made this movie.

Fun fact, Warwick Davis's first major role was as Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi. He was 11 years old when he filmed it. He worked with George Lucas again as a goblin in Labyrinth. Lucas was so impressed with his work that he wrote the role of Willow specifically for him. He was only 17 when he filmed it.

Warwick Davis, who played Wicket, played Wicket, the ewok who finds Princess Leia in the forest in Return Of The Jedi. He was only 11 then.

Madmartigan is what we would have gotten if Ryan Reynolds had played Han Solo.

This movie is the example, that shows a movie doesn't need to be in a "universe" . You can create it within the story.

There is a documentary type movie called “Val” about Val Kilmers life on Prime Video with footage that he took himself on set over the years across the many things he’s done. It’s 👌😎🔥

I love this movie. I was 17 when this one was made. There was so much that was great; the acting, the directing, the beautiful music composed by the late James Horner. There was actually a book as well and it fleshes out the characters a little more as well as giving Madmartigan's back story. And, if you loved Willow, look for the 1982 film Krull. It is a blend of Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Krull is the name of the planet the film is set on. And I love your comments about the special effects. If you want to see an older movie where the effects still hold up today for the most part, look for the 1974 film The Towering Inferno, one of the granddaddies of all disaster movies. And it has my favorite actor, Steve McQueen, as a Battalion Chief in the San Francisco Fire Department.

A touch of trivia for you, Mary. The actor that played the the High Nelwyn , Billy Bartey is his name, was an actual Munchkin in the 1939 Wizard of Oz.

Warwick Davis had to learn to do many of his own stunts for this movie, stunts which ended up helping him later in his career.

For more Val Kilmer: Top Secret, a comedy similar to Airplane Real Genius, great nerd comedy Heat, top notch drama with an AMAZING cast The Doors, Kilmer pretty much channels the spirit of Jim Morrison and for one great movie where Val just has small cameos, True Romance.

Can't believe after all these years people are reviewing it. I was a film extra on this movie in 1987. Two weeks in Airk's Army, two scenes - crossroads, and a large ambush battle scene at the top end of lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, New Zealand. I read George Lucas cut it from the film. The crossroad scene I recall the cages hatch on the bottom had broken open and Val fell spraining his ankle. That land is now housing! I was in full uniform with a real double bladed metal battle axe. The week before I had a fiberglass painted metallic sword and hard plastic brown painted shield. Great fun! The snow escape on the sled and the snow ball rolling downhill was Cadorna ski field near the township of Queenstown which is a common tourist destination. Val & Joanne Whalley (Sorsha) had a secret relationship while filming in Queenstown I heard. We weren't allowed film camera's but some of the horse riders were taking photos which I managed to get quite a few off afterwards. Still have some of the uniform. I heard they were from Italy. Though there wasn't enough gear for all extras so they filled in gaps behind those with full uniforms and wore just a black suit! Cheers for the review glad you enjoyed the film Mary 🙂

This is one of my favourite movies, so underrated.

Wow. You just became my favorite person for watching this masterpiece.🙌 I loved Willow since I was a kid.🤓

Love this movie. Its such a d&d campaign its awsome. Lol. Cant wait for the 2nd one to come out!

Fun fact! they had over 220 little people in this film and it was a HUGE time in hollywood for actors with dwarfism. They weren't playing goblins or creatures, but actual people and it was a super important role for most of them. To this day, it was the largest casting call for little people in a movie. it's one of my favorite movies of all time and so underrated now days

Almost double the number that were in Wizard of Oz

General Kael is played by British former wrestler Pat Roach who was also in the first three Indiana Jones movies. Playing the mechanic that fights with Indy outside the plane, the large Tibetan he fights with in the bar, and the large Indian guard in Temple Of Doom, among other parts. And you see his face a couple times in this film.

If you want a highly-underrated Val Kilmer movie, I recommend "The Ghost and the Darkness."

"Real Genius" is my favorite Val Kilmer movie. "Splash" was Ron Howard's directorial debut and also introduced a young TV star to the big screen by the name of Tom Hanks.

Grand theft auto was Ron Howards first movie

This was one of my favorites growing up

"I know Ron Howard by the way" Oooo! Go on! "Only as an actor..." Uh oh. Happy Days? "In Arrested Development" Gah!

"The Saint" is Val Kilmer's best movie.

For me it's a 3 way tie between The Saint, WIllow and Real Genius. He is just such a damned talented actor. He was awesome in Tombstone as well.

Top Secret!, Willow, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Heat, Thunderheart, Real Genius and Tombstone are his best films without a doubt. Also The Salton Sea, it's one of his lesser known films about the drug scene and it's a very obscure/underrated but amazing movie with some of his best acting and overall it's an amazingly compelling film that any true Val Kilmer fan should watch.

"They're either going to fight or make sweet love...." Can't it be both?

Willow is the best.

there is a series being made of willow cant wait for it :D

Although this was an original story, I remember the novelization was quite good, it gave you a little more backstory on Madmartigan, it was a shame they never made any sequels, but this wasn't a box office success story, it wasn't well received at the time of it's release.

@@gawainethefirst I was not aware of that, I'll try to look them up, if they're still in print...

I would suggest "Labyrinth" with David Bowie another fantasy from just 2 years before. Also, not quite the same type of fantasy but super fun is "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" with John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, and Christopher Lloyd, oh and Peter Weller as Buckaroo.

This actually has a novel series sequel trilogy. Chronicles of the Shadow War. The individual books are Shadow Moon, Shadow Dawn, and Shadow Star. They're kinda weird.
