Is it a comedy?
Was this movie done as a joke or is it serious?

It was made seriously....but the film is friggin hilarious. ONe of the best films I own for unintentional laughter. "lope thy head from my body"
shareIs it just me or is this a ripoff of "He-man and the Masters of the Universe" which was a very popular cartoon in 1984 USA? Or what about that movie Krull which came out the previous year? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085811/
shareI don't know if this ripped-off anything in particular. Sword and sorcery was popular in the 80's and this movie was just riding the trend.
Very old post, but,
It is based on the 14th century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" so it slightly predates He-Man. Many of the tropes in He Man are ancient and common in fantasy stories.
People use the term rip-off far too easily. Similarity in themes does not mean rip-off. Recall that there are only a very few actual stories: between 5 and 14 depending on your source. Every movie, novel, or story is simply mixing and matching themes from those limited stories and adding details.
Not a comedy
shareI doubt it's a comedy, but I did laugh.
shareIt's not comedy but I laughed all the way through it.
