In supporter Mike's last pick and appearance he went with a classic 90's British flick, Trainspotting. And this time he's swung the dial to little renowned sword and sorcery adventure, Dragonslayer! Dragonslayer (1981) was an ambitious collaboration between Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions, marking a rare foray into darker, more mature fantasy for Disney. Directed by Matthew Robbins, the film was developed as a gritty and realistic take on medieval mythology, deviating from the lighter tone often associated with fantasy films of the time. The screenplay, written by Robbins and Hal Barwood, aimed to explore themes of faith, power, and heroism. Principal photography took place in the rugged landscapes of Wales and Scotland, chosen for their authentic medieval atmosphere, and the production faced significant challenges in capturing the epic scope of the story while dealing with unpredictable weather and remote locations. The standout feature of the film was its groundbreaking special effects, particularly the creation of the dragon, Vermithrax Pejorative. To bring the creature to life, the production team employed a combination of animatronics, puppetry, and the pioneering go-motion technique developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). This approach allowed for smoother, more lifelike movements than traditional stop-motion animation. Phil Tippett, the lead visual effects artist, played a crucial role in crafting Vermithrax, which has since been hailed as one of the most convincing cinematic dragons ever created. Despite mixed reviews upon release, Dragonslayer gained a cult following and remains a landmark in special effects innovation, bridging the gap between the practical techniques of the past and the CGI-dominated future of filmmaking.

Armed with his late master's enchanted amulet and his growing confidence, Galen ventures into danger, facing the dragon's fiery wrath and uncovering political intrigue that reveals the kingdom's rulers have sinister motives of their own. Combining themes of heroism, faith, and sacrifice, the film delivers a gritty, visually striking fantasy tale that stands out for its groundbreaking special effects and its unflinching portrayal of medieval darkness. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

Este pasado verano, se nos quedó pendiente de publicar este episodio con el que retomamos el género de fantasía con una película de espada y brujería que, a pesar de sus múltiples virtudes, entre las que destaca el fabuloso dragón Vermithrax y la banda sonora de Alex North, no es tan recordada como otras similares de la época. Y eso que fue precursora de muchas de ellas. “El Dragón del Lago de Fuego” (81), dirigida y co-guionizada por Matthew Robbins, es toda una joyita por descubrir. Nominada a dos Óscar por los efectos visuales y la banda sonora, co-producida por Paramount y Disney, pertenece a esa “edad de bronce” o “edad oscura” de la compañía del ratón, en la que se permitieron ser más arriesgados y valientes, sin que los resultados gozaran del reconocimiento en taquilla que muchos de estos productos se merecían. Basándose en cuentos antiguos, en la mitología existente, en otras películas anteriores y en la literatura previa, con especial mención a la obra de Tolkien, Matthew Robbins y Hal Barwood construyen un cuento oscuro con magos, campesinos, reyes, guerreros, princesas y, por supuesto, un dragón. Un dragón que surca el cielo, animado con avanzadas técnicas de stop motion y go-motion, construido con enormes animatrónicos y con una ambientación y escenarios de lo más efectiva. A lo largo de este episodio, desarrollamos todos estos aspectos, al tiempo que desglosamos la trama de la película y reflexionamos acerca de diferentes cuestiones que se derivan de la misma. Por supuesto, sin olvidarnos de hablar del elenco, mezcla de veteranos y nóveles, con un curtido Ralph Richardson y un debutante Peter MacNicol, como duplo ganador, escoltados por una joven Caitlin Clarke y con la presencia de Chloe Salaman, ejerciendo de trágica princesa Disney. Para iluminarnos en esta tarea, contamos con un highlander especialmente erudito y versado en las artes místicas, el historiador Manuel Jesús Segado Uceda. Asimismo, el paladín Óscar Cabrera aporta su voluntarismo y torpe pasión, mientras que el regio Juan Pablo Molina, nuestro videoclubsero, ruge y brama contenidos.
