A fun little epic, small to medium budget, bloody, violent, racy, uneven but entertaining.
It stars a young Rutger Hauer, a gloriously out-of-control Susan Tyrrell as his whore girlfriend, and a very young Jennifer Jason Leigh who steals every scene she's in.
Some of the castle siege scenes reminded me of The Holy Grail.
Lots of hackish sword fights, blades thrusting through viscera.
Verhoeven gives clear hints of his talent.
