The witch tells her that the man ("A prince!" spits the witch - literally, for we clearly see several globs of spit flying out of her mouth) will be her love, and she is powerless to stop his fate. Bradamante (de Rossi) meets a witch and is shown a vision of a knight getting killed in a one-on-one fight with another knight. It's during the middle ages, with the Christians and Moors having another of their endless fights. Anyway, we soon get the general situation.
#HEARTS OF IRON 4 MANNSTARKE MOVIE#
The opening credit crawl informs us of the time and situation of the movie - at least I think so, because it's all in Italian. While it's not up to the hilarity and energy of the Ator flicks (Ator the Flying Eagle, The Blade Master, and The Iron Warrior), it still a must for anyone with a taste for so-bad-it's-good sword and sorcery. Wait - I'll give it some credit and label it the best-looking laugh riot I've seen in quite a while. Hearts and Armour is a knee-slapping exercise in unintentional hilarity. Recently, someone I know with similar tastes in motion pictures saw it and simply said, "Trust me it's worth watching!" That gave me the extra effort into renting it, and I wasn't disappointed. Why? Although I came close to renting it several times, the dull-looking box art is what ultimately made me decide against it. So it may be of surprise that I originally passed on the Italian Hearts and Armour. The musclemen movies of the 50s, the spaghetti westerns of the 60s, the giallo of the 70s, and the Conan/Max Max rip-offs of the 80s.
