'WILLOW' RETURNS...ON UK BLU-RAY


A shiny armoured Madmartigen gets ready to attack in a classic image from WILLOW, coming 11th March to UK Blu-ray. To hold the film up to George Lucas's seminal Classic STAR WARS films would be like comparing apples to oranges, but it is nonetheless a very entertaining eighties dip into another type of fantasy world- one with a big cult following, whilst Lucas and director Ron Howard-surely a directing candidate for the upcoming EPISODE VII- make a fine creative pairing. Val Kilmer's portrayal of the aforementioned Madmartigen, who very much had echoes of Han Solo's rogue'ish-ness about him, particularly shines out in the film, especially in his scenes with warrior princess/actress wife-to-be Joanne Whalley.


Order details: Willow [Blu-ray] [1988]: Amazon.co.uk: Val Kilmer, Warwick Davis, Joanne Whalley, Jean Marsh, Billy Barty, Ron Howard, George Lucas: Film & TV
