Eldritch

Yes. Which isn’t a deal-breaker. But definitely a limiter in application. Something like this or Briar would be useful for example on large marches or public protests. Though maybe not this with apparently how insecure and poorly thought out it is. Which I suppose is on brand for Dorsey.

Yes though ironically Arnie’s character wasn’t. Still watched it plenty when I was younger.

It will be interesting to compare this one to the original. I have no idea how accurate it was overall to books Etc. But the 1980s star power on display on the 1st. Ernie Reyes jr, Arnold schwarzenegger, and Brigitte Nielsen. While not necessarily perfect for the roles was definitely fun. It always came off as another Conan movie with Arnold basically reprising a similar role.
