    • Trivia
      In his autobiography Size Matters Not: The Extraordinary Life & Career of Warwick Davis, Warwick Davis, an actor in the film, called it an "absolute disaster" which was "premiered, panned and bombed," and "even the wonderful Joanna Lumley---who still managed to put in an amazing performance as Morgan le Fay---couldn't save it." He blames this on the director Anthony Hickox, who he says "seemed intent on partying all night long and giving roles to his friends."

      Princess Ilene: I demand to see your king.

      Thagnar: Harem.

      Prince Gawain: What? You can't do that she's a princess.

      Princess Ilene: Who the hell is harem?

      [she's thrown into a room full of other woman]

      Woman #1: [giggles] I wonder if she's a virgin.

      Princess Ilene: Of course I'm a virgin. I'm Princess Ilene of Brenwyn.

      Woman #2: We all had kingdoms once. Now we are all queens for a night.

      [Ilene looks around scared]

      Monday: I am Monday.

      Tuesday: I'm Tuesday.

      Wednesday: I'm Wednesday.

      Monday: And you're Thursday.

    Far from the original spirit, but suitable for children.

    For fans of Harold Foster's Prince Valiant it is a bit disappointing, but very suitable for children. Despite his homo haircut the original Valiant is very masculine, philosophical, and smart. He does not perform foolish acts or show inability with the sword, ever. In the movie he looks too young, shy, messy and foolish. The cast is inadequate, the camera trembles and the fight scenes are unacceptable... but again, not for the children, there are nice places to be viewed causing the correct time effect. There are not enough elements to make a good movie, lacks of art direction, continuity, actor performance and specially edition. The movie was pretty bad edited. Beside the gorgeous naked back of the princess coming out of the bad, the castles, the open air scenes make a very pleasant environment worth to be seen. Ron Pearlman's performance is great as usual but do not save the picture. Maybe i would like too much to see this movie under the view of Ridley Scott, stronger characters, something more close to the original personality and the meaning of Prinz Eisenherz.
