How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully over-the-top sword-and-sorcery romp where twin barbarian brothers with impossibly huge muscles quest to rescue their adoptive mother and recover a magical jewel, leaning hard into the campy fun of 80s fantasy action.
