Please Let This Be The Worst One This Month

Merlin: The Return
2000

This movie was so terrible I honestly can't even tell you what is was even about.

Some kid and his mom move to England after his father dies, to stay with the mother's screw-loose aunt. At the same time a blonde Tia Carrere communicates with Mordred - Arthur's bastard son with his half-sister Morgana le Faye - via a medium. Carrere's Dr. Maxwell is helping him break the spell placed on him, holding him in some underworld. The spell is the same (or linked to) one that keeps Arthur asleep. Since it's weakened, Arthur ends up by the side of the road,with his men, attempting to slay an oil truck. Meanwhile Merlin ends up in the middle of town in his underwear. No one seems the least bit put off by Merlin, as if this sort of thing happens all the time.

Anyway, the medium has a daughter and she and the boy wind up embroiled in the plot to break the spell on Mordred. The middle is such a jumble of WTF that I can't even explain it and then there's some kind of battle and Mordred is defeated using earthquake-producing tasers. Oh, and Guinevere has some kind of Bo Derek ringlet dreads and gets in on the sword play in her warrior armor.

I had this same attitude through the whole film.


I kept feeling like they were referencing some other film (that didn't exist) but then some characters clearly had no clue what was going on.

This starred Craig Sheffer (Nightbreed) and Adrien Paul (Highlander). My god...smh.
