does anyone remember the 80s movie WILLOW??

Question

this was my favotite movie as a child if you remember tell me your favorite part..or something you remember from it

Answer 1

Love the movie. Rented it a few months ago with my daughters - 9 & 10, and they love it just as much as I did. My 9yo now wants a pic of Madmartigan to put up in her room.

Answer 2

At least I do, every time I see it.) I first watched this movie a long time ago, and have seen it several more times over the years (it pops up on TV somewhat frequently). I have enjoyed it with each viewing, mainly because I just take it for what it is to me – namely, just a fun, escapist fantasy flick that whisks you away to a magical kingdom where all kinds of mystical, cute, clever, and at times even sinister things are happening, all against a backdrop of remarkably beautiful scenery. Oh, yeah: you also get to see Val Kilmer (Madmartigan) step squarely into a fresh pile of troll poop – truly a classic moment in cinema history!

I noticed that other reviewers herein went to great efforts to point out glaring similarities between Willow and Star Wars, and these similarities apparently ruined the movie for them (or at least, they just didn't *like* Willow). Well, to each their own… As for me, I won't even begin to compare Willow to Star Wars, because: (drum roll please...) I've never even seen Star Wars. Not even once. So there!! ("You've never seen STAR WARS!!" I can hear the collective gasp of all you moviegoers out there. Yeah, okay, so just shoot me already!). But similarities shmimilarities! As Bill Murray said in Meatballs, "It just doesn't matter! It just doesn't matter! It just doesn't matter!..."

Anyway, if you haven't seen Willow, then I would recommend you see it at once and enjoy it for what it is: a fun, escapist fantasy movie that (heaven knows, current events and all...) we could all use a little more of in this day and age. If you have already seen it and love it, well, go see it again! And finally, if you have seen it but don't like it because of annoying similarities between it and Star Wars, well, what can I say? I would hazard that, all things considered, Willow nevertheless DOES have its own special charms that you probably won't find in Star Wars. At the very least I haven't heard that Madmartigan's counterpart in Star Wars, Han Solo, stepped in a big wet pile of troll poop!

Answer 3

I remember Willow. Cute film.
The guy who plays Willow, played an Ewok in The Return of The Jedi, the one Princess Leia offers something to eat when trying to make friends.

Answer 4

I remember something about a little person named Willow who was protecting a baby, I think she was a princess. That's all I can remember.

Answer 5

Warwick Davis rocks! I love this movie and have heard rumours that they might be making a sequel at some point, I am guessing after Indy 4.

Answer 6

Yep. Good movie. Opie Taylor directed it, it was a George Lucas story, Val Kilmer wore a dress, and midgets galore.

Answer 7

Yes when Willow had the bird drop on the idiots head. I laugh every time I think about that.

Answer 8

Ofcoarse I remember little Willow and the baby!

Answer 9

i loved it, but havent seen it in like 15 years, so i cant tell you a favorite part, but i do remember being scared when they had to kill that big 2 headed monster thing.
oh, and i remember when they kill the bad guy at the end, he had to stab him like 10 times with all those swords

Answer 10

Any part with Val Kilmer in it! Have you seen Labyrinth? That's a good one too. David Bowie is hot in that movie!
