Wizards of the Demon Sword is a 1991 American film directed byFred Olen Ray and starringRuss Tamblyn.[1][2]
Ulric's (Russ Tamblyn) daughter unites with warrior Thane (Blake Bahner) against evil Lord Khoura (Lyle Waggoner), who covets the knife of Aktar.
Fred Olen Ray says the film has its genesis with sets left over fromRoger Corman'sMasque of the Red Death. The sets were going to be torn down so Ray decided to use them for a film. A script was written, actors hired (includingRuss Tamblyn) and Ray shot two days of a sword-and-sorcery film,Wizards of the Demon Sword. He then planned filming the rest of the film. They only needed four days, and had five days' use left of the camera equipment. Ray decided to make another movie,Bad Girls from Mars.[3]
Dan Golden rewrote a script from another writer.[4]
According to Ray,Demon Sword "tanked financially" in part because the film wound up at Troma who "ripped him off".[3]
