I appear to have missed a couple of sequels along the way but no matter. This is part four and surprisingly enjoyable, at least on par with the sword and sorcery flicks of the 1980s. It has a wealth of action portrayed in a jokey, stunt-filled HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS kind of way. No-name leads, but a lot of old-timers making welcome appearances in support, not least Rutger Hauer, Lou Ferrigno and Michael Biehn. It's also well-paced and is well shot throughout. Cheesy and with poor FX, but I expected nothing else...

HOW COMES I ALWAYS HAVE TO BE DRAGGED BY THE CAMEL?
The Akkadian Scorpion King Mathayus (Victor Webster) is back for part 4. This film is more akin to part 3 in that it is light and lends itself to camp and cliche instead of being a serious epic action film. Our warrior teams up with femme fatale Malina/ Sugarlove (Esmé Bianco) and her eccentric inventor father (Barry Bostwick) in order to find the legendary lost palace of Alcameda (?) while battling a rival king and his army, a dragon, and midgets. Feels like an Indian Jones film at times.
The film is anachronistic, borrows modern phrases, and even employs swagger music. In the beginning a guy not hiding his Brooklyn accent (Lou Ferrigno) says, "No one steals from me." I am not sure how much of this type of thing was intentional or not. In any case it was funny and entertaining, but it wasn't sustained...like in Part 3.
This is a film with no swearing, sex, or nudity. Suitable for the tweens.

Yep not good, but ...
... the actors are having fun and you could also have some. Kind of of course. I mean you can only shake your head at the "Dragon" of the movie. It's ridiculous beyond any words I could muster to write here. Yes it is low budget (though still under the Universal banner!?),but even Harryhausen made more believable "monsters".
Anyway back to the actors, the female lead known for her role in Spartacus (at least to me) is obviously playing it for laughs and has some funny lines to say. The action sequences are not really good, but I've seen worse. Actually there is a decent stunt scene thrown into the mix here and there. If you are in the right frame of mind (and maybe like the people involved),there is fun you can have
