I was chatting about the movie Willow at lunch yesterday with my wife and brother and was told I know more than any adult man should know about that movie. So help me prove that I am not the only one who knows movies like this. See how many you can answer without having to look them up. 1. How many children does Willow have? 2. Who is the best warrior in the village? 3. How many arrows are in Sorsha's quiver? 4. What color is Madmartigan's helmet topnot? 5. What is the magic phrase Willow chants? 6. Where is the birthmark located at on the child? 7. What are "Humans" called by Willows people? 8. How many applicants tried to become an apprentace wizard? 9. What is the tallest animal Fin Raziel transforms into? 10. What does Willows wife give him as he leaves the village? Good luck and no cheating! |

Your wife and brother are very astute! |

A great movie, but I admit I cannot answer a single one of those questions off the top of my head. |

I remember a few good lines from that movie, but none of those facts. |

GarrisonMiniatures | 06 Dec 2012 2:55 p.m. PST |
Years since I've seen it, so can't really answer any of the questions. Thought he had more kids though. |
GoneNow | 06 Dec 2012 3:00 p.m. PST |
1: 2 kids 6: leg 8: 4 people (willow had 2 fingers left to pick from) 10: lock of her hair |

I haven't seen it in 20 years probably. I liked it at the time. Wasn't Val Kilmer in it? I couldn't answer any of your questions. Well not with answers that are correct. |

Loved the movie, I saw it 4 times with my friends the summer it was released! LOL! Unfortunately I could never answer those questions without looking them or throwing the DVD in. :D |

I love Willow. It's one of my favorite fantasy movies, and is oft quoted among my group of friends, particularly Willow's line to Madmardigan, "You ARE great!" I also read the two follow on books. It might have been interesting to see them as you get an older more jaded Willow trying to mentor Elora Dannan. |

It's stood up far better over time than Krull, which when I was younger I loved more. Now owned by Disney, I'd expect a remake in the next ten years. |

3. Is it 3? Wasn't really paying attention to her weapons. ![wink wink](boards/icons/wink.gif) EDIT: Nope, I was wrong. |

Llama or something like that 10. Her braided hair |

Love the movie. I have the DVD. I have to admit that I only got 3(?)answers right tho. (You need to put up an answer sheet up) Some of those questions are rather 'expert level'too. How about: . 1. Does Willow want to be a warrior,wizard,or cleric? 2. What other movies has the actor who played Willow been in? 3.The actor who played Madmartigan married the actress who played? 4.Why is the magical powder called 'The Dust of Broken Hearts? 5.What is the villanous warrior's Warcry? Another way to prove your knowledge? List some more good questions. spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler is this far enough? I can never tell. 1. Wizard 2. Return of the Jedi,; and every Harry Potter movie(as a professor or as a goblin. 3. Sorsha 4. The effect of breathing it in is like a love potion,but the effect is not lasting. 5. No Mercy! |

Holy crap i couldn't answer a single question. You sir are on your own. :-) Grimm |
Cke1st | 06 Dec 2012 6:10 p.m. PST |
I knew 1,2,6,7, and 10. I have often used Madmartigan's line when he falls free from the cage -- "I
Feel
Better!" |

Great movie. Two lines I've gotten a lot of mileage out of over the years: "I don't love her, she kicked me in the face!" "Traitor child. I must despise you now." |
galvinm | 06 Dec 2012 9:18 p.m. PST |
Have not seen it, since it was released. I forget my birthday nowadays. No way I would remember anything about the movie. What was the question? |

raylev3 | 06 Dec 2012 9:39 p.m. PST |
As much as I enjoy the movie, I think your wife and brother are right
.sorry, dude. (BTW, I only knew one.) |
Augustus | 07 Dec 2012 1:08 a.m. PST |
Man. Got every single one of those questions. I was happy. Now I know more than another adult male should. Now I am sad. |
Jovian1 | 07 Dec 2012 8:13 a.m. PST |
1. How many children does Willow have? Two 2. Who is the best warrior in the village? I can describe him, but don't remember his name. He was the only dwarf of color in the village – ???? step back! 3. How many arrows are in Sorsha's quiver? 5 4. What color is Madmartigan's helmet topnot? white 5. What is the magic phrase Willow chants? which time? He chants at least two different phrases, one when attempting to turn Fin Raziel back into a person with Shayalyndria's wand, and the other when he is faking sending Elora Dannon to a place where evil cannot touch her. 6. Where is the birthmark located at on the child? On the arm, right arm IIRC. 7. What are "Humans" called by Willows people? Daikynie 8. How many applicants tried to become an apprentace wizard? three attempt, including Willow Ulfgood. 9. What is the tallest animal Fin Raziel transforms into? Full transformation? The goat. Partial transformation – the Ostrich. 10. What does Willows wife give him as he leaves the village? A braid of her hair cut from her head. Yeah, I own the film too, and my kids like to watch it once in a while. |

I love that flick! Best fantasy movie made so far, IMO

Willow seemed to be Lucas taking his big hit Star Wars and converting it into a fantasy film. Why strain the brain coming up with an original idea when you can recycle a hit? |
Dropzonetoe ![Workbencher Fezian](boards/icons/workbencher.gif) | 07 Dec 2012 12:38 p.m. PST |
I have watched it a few times over the years – It might have been the first VHS movie I ever got! Oh my family is spot on with me – but there are few movies that I can recall like this one. Jovian, I was thinking of the Fin Raziel spell. I didn't even think of the other one when I was thinking up the questions. It is of course, as stated above, Vohnkar who needs to step back Augustus If it makes you feel better we can share the honor :) |
