- The Glaive! Adam is beside himself coming face to face with this uniquely memorable hand prop from the 1983 sci-fi fantasy film Krull! The five-bladed Glaive was so memorable in its design, and we take a close look at the working mechanism on its underside that unsheathes the blade tips.

Mmm, I think once I got the Glaive home, it would immediately go into the protective display case, never to be toyed with again!
Yeah right, I would totally be operating the blades, over an over again… heck, I’d have it on my nightstand, just hoping to deploy it menacingly against some unsuspecting intruder. 😈
“SIC ‘IM, Glaive!” *shink!*
Dude - I hope you did a video going briefly through every item in that room and what it was from?
i'm 46 years old and nowadays when i watch movies like krull it's a peaceful and relaxing thing to me. sometimes i feel like i just want to curl up, stay warm and watch movies like that all day
Not only a young Liam Neeson in Krull, but it was also my first time seeing an equally young Robbie Coltrane, RIP.
And Todd Carty who played Tucker Jenkins
That is true. czcams.com/video/FjXwcfEyfDk/video.html
Don’t forget commander eddington too!
I love rewatching old films and picking up on younger versions of actors you know well for other roles.
And that guy from EastEnders lol
The countdown to Adam building his own functional glaive has begun.
Here, here! To "The Glaive"
Yes, please.
😂
He will probably begin to make replicas of everything in that auction as soon as he enters his workshop.
@@j.robertsergertson4513 Yes, yes... "the glaaaive"
Krull was my absolute favorite movie when I was a kid. My dad introduced me to fantasy and scifi and this was an early movie we watched together. I was so crushed when cyclops died trying to save his friends. I don't care how cheesy the movie is. It makes me think of my dad and how much we both share a love of fantasy and sci-fi. We didn't have a lot but we always had this. I am so grateful that we still do... almost 40 som... ÷>#&$&÷,÷&$ years later.
This prop video is my favorite thus far. Adam's enthusiasm.. his recognition of Krull's place in history but that he still "get's" it. I could not be more happy.
Adam i am sure was one of the same kids. like you and I that is why he is so excited when he gets to do one of these viewings.
the misunderstood Cyclops that gave himself for the Good-fight , taught me to never judge a book by its cover and was my first movie cry.
Seeing Krull on TV when I was a young boy was magic, and to this day I still enjoy it.
I'm not ashamed or embarrassed to admit/declare that I am 100%, fully & wholeheartedly, one of those fans who absolutely _loves_ this movie, beginning to end, even to this day! Seriously, from Ken Marshall & Lysette Anthony, to Alun Armstrong, to Bernard Bresslaw, to Liam Neeson, to the late, great Robbie Coltrane & so many more, there is not one single bad/negative thing that I can say about this _classic_ *#80s* _masterpiece!_
*#KrullForever* ⚔️⛰🔥
It's a beautiful movie! That, Legend and The Beastmaster are probably in my top 5, along with Willow.
I always thought this was one of the cooler movie weapons when I was a kid. Glad others remember it as well. What a strange movie, Krull.
Thanx to Games like Warframe/Dark Sector it is.^^
or the laser muskets that are used as melee weapons after firing their single shot...
I made a cardboard Krull glaive. This guy truly giving props an awesome weapon
Well, it WAS the 80's lol
Now we're talking. Krull and The Last Starfighter were my two favourite movies as a young teenager. Thx Adam, love from Australia.
Liam Neeson's first movie
2 fabulous choices. "Hey everyone! He's gonna bust the record!"
Krull and Last Starfighters are iconic films of my childhood.
Didn't realize until this comment section that Liam Neeson was in that film
Same. Absolutely loved those movies.
People have nostalgic feelings for the movie, but it was a terrible movie. Even Adam said so in the video.
I saw Krull in the theater as a 7 year old, and I was blown away. I still love the movie. Now for its campiness. My dad was my movie companion for years and he is no longer with us. Thank you for the memories. Krull, Legend, and The Dark Crystal are 3 of my favorites.
Adam and Prop store, I know this is primarily promo work but I really hope you do these videos forever. It's such an amazing way to share prop and cinema history with a much larger audience than could ever hope to be able to afford to collect these things.
This movie prop was the first movie piece that as a child I wanted to own. In my opinion it was the most iconic weapon from a movie of the 80's.
That, Conan's Sword, the Blade Runner pistol, and Inigo Montoya's sword. Also the Aliens Pulse Rifle. I have owned the Conan and Inigo swords, but they were cheap crap I'll admit.
The sword from the Sword and the Sorcerer
I don't care, Krull is amazing, end of story
Yup!!!!
Agreed. It was an interesting twist on traditional fantasy.
The soundtrack was very very good.
Not wrong
I loved Krull back when I was a kid!!!
Yes! Krull was definitely a favorite of mine in the 80s! Despite mainly its issues with slow pacing, several things about it still hold up. Decent effects, great atmosphere and sets, wonderful musical score, and in my opinion, the gold medal winner for scariest creature design with The Beast! Oh, that monster haunted me into my mid thirties!
krull is one of my favorite movies, this is so amazing!
Ohhh, I can't believe you didn't set and trigger all the blades at once! That would have been SO AWESOME!
I gotta say, I'm absolutely loving the "Adam Geeks Out Over Rare Movie Props" series
I was obsessed with that thing when I was a kid. I wanted it more than a light saber. I pretended, that I had an invisible Glaive and sometimes I'd throw it ( like, in a store, waiting for my mom ) and later I'd pretend it destroyed everything and I'd stick my hand out and it'd return to me ( and I'd put it back in my pocket ). I had a lot of invisible weapons when I was 5...
I am 50 and still play with my replica from time to time ..then put it back in it's case. And every time it's like THE GLAIVE ! Imagine the blades popping out to Krull theme followed by the arcade game noises!! And just incase you missed it The Glaive is in Ready Player One.
@@heathhacker8948 Wow! How much does a Glaive replica run for? Did you have to finish and paint it from a kit?
It is reminiscent of the throwing-weapon from Beastmaster (the exact name escapes me).
@@whiskeyvictor5703 YES. That thing had such a weird shape. It unfolded somehow. It's strange that there isn't a really good licensed version of these '80s movie weapons.
@@hob976 That feral kid in The Road Warrior also had a wickedly sharp throwing-weapon (it cut off a baddie's fingers!). What is it with early 80's movies and thrown weapons anyhow?! 😄
Adam! You need to make a functional copy of this
yes please
Omg! I love that thing! I was so excited when it showed up in Ready Player One! So neat to see the real prop and I agree with Adam, the machining on it is well done and brilliant! How fun! Thanks for inviting us in to see it before it goes to some lucky collectors vault!😉
Krull is one of my childhood movies. And The Guyver, Enemy Mine, Inner Space, etc etc...
Wow! Anyone who remembers krull is definitely over 40. Every kid wished for one of those fine pieces of weaponry! Totally brings back my childhood!
Ah YEAH! This was my favorite movie weapon growing up. All my friends wanted light sabers or blaster pistols. Me, I wanted a Glaive! Heck, still do! Not that I could afford it LOL. These prop vids are bringing back so many memories. Now off to watch Krull again!
there are replicas out there for about $75.00 about #150.00 after you build and paint em ..worth it .........
I have Krull on DVD! One of my favorite fantasy sci-fi films of all time! 👍😻👍
krull is still one of my absolute favourite movies. i wish they would remake it or do a tv show. it deserves it. its a forgotten gem of the 80s. banger movie.
Krull!!! Such a foundational movie (despite everything), thanks for this!
What’s awesome to watch is the person that is the main seller learning more and more about how it’s made so who ever wins it gets a bit of history behind it .. man I want to meet you one day adam your such a awesome guy
the auctioneer guy actually knows things. How refreshing!
Oh, man - i still think about this movie from time to time. I loved it as a kid. Such a cool prop!!
ah the Glaive! One of the most underrated weapons in cinematic history - love the movie too, it was a really creative adventure film. Who doesn't appreciate that Cyclops!? I've been asking for years for Man-At-Arms on YT to forge a Glaive. It deserves to be celebrated...really was hoping to see that sucker use the blade action all at once! (my guess is they didn't want to chance ruining anything before sale).
This reminds me that there was a tie-in card game for Krull, and it was actually a really good game that my game group played the snot out of back in the day. The Glaive card was a big part of it as well.
That card game had no right to be as good as it was given what inspired it.
@@ZiddersRooFurry Right? For those who want to see what it was like, there's a little bit of information if you Google search "Krull card game board game geek". Also a board game I never played, but I hear it was bad. When I get a bit of time I might append a description here from what I can remember of it.
Dude, jealous in so many ways. Thanks for bringing us along in your joyous journey of jolly memorabilia. “Lovely” adventure, indeed. 🤓
So many great British actors in Krull. Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane, Lysette Anthony, Bernard Bresslaw, David Battley, Alun Armstrong, and Todd Carty.
Cheesy as hell, but still a great watch.
And the Glave. That piece is amazing, given the workmanship that went in to it. No 3d printing back then. Just craftsmanship. Just awesome. 😎👍🏻
Yes! Krull was one of my favorite movies growing up! To be able to get your hands on this must have been an amazing experience! So jealous!
Ahh! I’m such a nerd for this. I love Krull so much.
Definitely a joy to see this one up close. One of my favorite movies when I was young. I still enjoy watching it today. I wish I had the disposable income for that prop. Thanks Adam.
I still remember my parents showing me this movie, and how angry I was that the glaive wasn't used more. A fun movie with great characters, but I swear the glaive would have solved so many problems.
right? such a beautiful and majestic prop, and it really doesn't do anything in the film except look pretty. really should've at least used it to wipe out swaths of lesser baddies.
Oh the heartache when it got stuck in the archnemesis and was lost.
Cool. Now you have to dig up the origin of how it was made and who made it . The legend of the Glave continues.
Every time Adam shows these props I am more and more amazed at the pure simplistic genius that these prop builders have to make these works of art function.
Along with Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Aliens, Krull was among the movies that made me.
Krull is probably one of the few classic movies that I would be ok to see them do a remake.
gotta say that his co cast steven did a great feat in this video even asking prop making things he wasnt familliar with like "investment cast" 5:38 whitch leads to casually explaining details to the audience
Krull is so beautifully cheesy. Learning how the Glaive works, seeing it handled, it’s tremendously satisfying
Those were some special rubber bands to survive the lava he pulled it out from, must of been enchanted level 1000 😁
So glad we got to see a video of this. Krull is just an unapologetically fun movie.
I love how the mechanism works for the blades and just looking from the front I’d never suspected the back was open like that. Thanks!
So great seeing these priceless old props today. Wondering what you’ll bring for us tomorrow!
I still love Krull. There is some parts of the film that bleed old vfx and some 80s dialogue cheese that is fun. Yet, overall, these also give the film its charm. The Sci-Fi Warriors from space using Magic in a Fantasy setting is quite unique. The score was great, the stop motion glass spider with the sands of time in the large web. The Emerald Seer and the creepy assassins that form black eyes. Slayers that die and some weird worm slug runs out of their head into the ground. The Cyclops.... Ergo the magician with his excellent lines. Firemares racing across the sky. A classic hero saves the maiden love story where their love is the power that defeats the Beast. That Black Fortress was magical and could change. It was so imaginative. Then the glaive at the end made the finale really exciting. Sorry. Did I mention I like this film? Great to see the prop. I has always wondered if it was double sided when the knives went out. This answered that 40 year old question.
LOL, I can just hear the voice drifting from the back of the shop, “The Glaaaive!” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for this... I always wondered how they engineered the retracting blades on the glaive!
"Krull" is a fundamental part of my childhood and becoming into a geek.
My grandfather took me to see this film, which I had no idea what the hell it was about, and I loved it so much I nagged grampa to go again next day.
Its an underrated gem of fantasy films.
the beauty and the magic this prop created for the film universe... I´m in awe
Wow, didn't know that still existed? So cool. It's like a Orc's swiss army knife. Love the film too, and yes a little cheesy granted but I still love it none the less. Great video Adam. 🙂
You are too kind. There's enough cheese to top 10,000 pizza but it's still fun to watch
Yes Krull is cheesy but it has some awesome scenes in it as well! The stop motion spider is great, the worm that comes out of the troopers heads and the way the dark emerald wizard dies is creepy as hell! Hell yeah it’s cheese fest but in a great way
I loved that Glave so its awesome to see it again after only seeing it maybe once as a kid in the film.
Krull brings back memories, I think it was the first rental VHS tape we had watched on the brand new VCR my parents had bought in '83.
Dude.. Krull is one of my guilty pleasures :) Loved the Glaive when I 1st saw it.
I played the hell out of Rick Dangerous on my Amiga- only evert 'beat' it once.
Krull was my first sci-fi film I watch when I was a kid. That movie set in motion my love and obsession for anything sci-fi 🥰
Very, very nice! I was privileged to see a Glaive prop at DragonCon in 2017 when Nick Maley (the special effects lead for Krull) was a guest. He discussed the movie's special effects in a panel and even brought along a Glaive prop with him.
Finally! Been looking forward to this one. Always loved the functional props.
Freaking awesome, dude. Loved Krull growing up.
This is the coolest weapon prop I have ever seen. I love Krull to pieces. Getting to see what the original piece looks like, and how it worked, is beyond words! I would love to own a fully complete replica! It's a MUST HAVE. I never thought I'd get to see the real deal, and now I have! Amazing!!!
Man talk about a blast from the past. I remember being so in love with this weapon as a kid.
6:21 Dude....😍 Someones gonna be really happy when they buy that.
Makes me nostalgic thinking about the books about magical swords, dagger series like Krull in the 90s. Someone need to reboot this genre back for the 21st century.
I rewatched Krull about 6 months ago. It really is quite awful and amazing, all at once.
Yup, exactly. Watched it about four months ago. It was cool and clunky all at once. In my mind I was thinking, "I can't believe how awful this movie is," and yet, I was compelled to watch it to the end and enjoyed it.
it's a great story, but it wasn't executed very well. it's a typical 80s fantasy movie - which is part of its charm.
It's ambitious but rubbish. It's really beautifully shot at some points but clunky at others. It's got some excellent actors but terrible acting. Some stupid decisions (dubbing Anthony to American) too.
there was a part where the main character reached in a puddle of bubbling lava with his bare hand to retrieve the Glaive. UNSCATHED
@@AngryMinkey To be fair I think that was one of those Tests that true kings are supposed to go through in this sort of film. Anyone else would have got a bit singed.
Amazing. So fun to see these iconic props up close and personal. It makes me realise how props, costumes, miniatures, etc, can be taken for granted, in terms of their beauty and intricacies. I really enjoy learning about all these movies props and pieces. Thanks for giving us a glimpse behind the curtain.
I just watched Krull for the millionth time just a couple days ago...I always thought it was funny that firemares could run 1000 leagues in a day, a league being 3 miles on land so that's 3000 miles in a day, & capable of literally running so fast that they can actually defy gravity & run through the air, but you can totally round them up & trap them in a box canyon on regular horses & some guys on foot...one of the greatest wtfs in cinematic history! I love that movie! And I've always wanted to see the back side of that thing...this is so cool!!! I wish I could afford that thing!
I remember seeing KRULL when it came out, on a drive-in screen about 4 times the size of an IMax screen.
the audio was over an AM radio station.
it tripled with the opener,..."Hercules" starring an over-dubbed Lou Ferrigno, and finished with "Blue Thunder" starring Roy Scheider.
what a great "Drive-In" line up!
Krull was an amazing film. My dad used to look like the main guy. I used to say put that film on that you were in to him as a kid.
Krull is the movie that made me fall in love with fantasy, I still watch it time to time. The glaive is one of the coolest weapons ever shown.
Krull was one of my favorite movies, growing up in the 80’s!
👍😃👍
I just rewatched Krull a few days ago! One of my favorite movies from my childhood.
I love that the guy used the opportunity to quiz Adam about construction methods to, assumedly, use later when selling it. True salesman.
After that movie came out I remember myself and all my friends spending months building more and more elaborate 'glaives' using popsicle sticks and throwing them at each other.
I probably watched Krull 10 or 12 times in the eighty's. It was one of my families go-to movies for a lazy Saturday night, along with Ice Pirates and Wizards.
that is one of my favorite weapons of all time, that glaive was always the coolest thing
My butthole clenched up for just a second when Adam slapped the pedestal in the intro and the glaive shakes for just a second.
Krull is one of my all time favorite movies!! The Glaive is my all time favorite legendary weapon!! So awesome!
One of my favourite movies as a childhood. Also made my own Glaive back then. Cool cardboard project.
Such a classic! I remember making that out of sticks and throwing it around my backyard when I was a kid. Loved it!!
That's a real blast from the past
We are aging ourselves…but so cool.
I really really hope that glaive goes to someone who will love and cherish it- hell, I hope Adam gets it. I just know I could only ever dream of holding a piece of my childhood that is so dear to me like that.
I was fortunate enough to win tickets to see an early screening of KRULL a few months before it was actually released. Before it started KRULL glaive frisbees & stickers were handed out to the audience. Fantastic movie and memories
I have been waiting for this reveal since I saw it in the opening setup for this auction. I was surprised that Adam didn't put all 5 blade in and set them off at once. I don't think I could have resisted had it been in my hand. I saw Krull in the theater the summer of 83, and loved it. I am sure I can not afford this piece, but it would be a great one for any movie collector.
I saw Krull at a special engagement on a wide format cinemascope? screen back in '83. The lobby had pictures and 'props' from the film- including a glave. I often wondered if it was an actual prop. The sad part is there probably weren't 50 people in attendance at the theatre that easily held hundreds. Box office poison is an understatement. Same theatre hosted the San Diego sneak preview of Blade Runner. Much larger crowd.
Love when people have a genuine discussion not scripted over things they like! It makes a difference when watch something! :)
As a child back then, I can't tell you how many times this aired on Showtime/HBO and I tried watching every airing. Same with the Dark Crystal. The best time to be a kid.
Just watched Krull again.. twice.. Loved that moved as a child.
One of my favorite movies as a kid. I still watch it from time to time.
Thanks for sharing these. I too remember Krull. It was one of my favorites.
Oh my gosh! I forgot about Krull but that was the coolest weapon when I was a kid!!!
i watched this movie all the time as a kid- our national broadcaster must of played it at least twice a year through the 80's-
I saw Krull only because i went on a 1983 movie binge, because i wanted to see what came out in my year of birth, and Krull was one of the highlights, haha.
I had seen the iconic glaive before of course, but i had never seen the movie, glad that i did and yeah, that prop is one of the crown pieces of B-movie history.
Our family saw Krull in the theater back when it released in 1983. I was in my teens. Despite the criticisms it got, it became a cult classic. It even had a still somewhat unknown Liam Neeson in it, which this was his ~4th movie thus far. One of my favorite memorable parts of the movie were the enemy soldiers, who were basically worm-squids inside battle armor. I would not be surprised if they were inadvertently a part of the inspiration for the Goa'uld in Stargate SG-1 almost 15 years later. I also liked the enemy soldier weapons which shot out glowing arrows, which resembled laser blaster shots from films such as Star Wars. It was a nice take on the laser blaster, except in this case they looked closer to me like short crossbow arrows. It was a fine film & it could potentially be a nice film to reboot, whether as a standalone movie or a television series (mini or episodic) to expound & lengthen on the story. Or even a prequel or sequel. There's a possible universe canon that could be stretched out for this fantasy film which is sort of a cross between Lord of the Rings & maybe the aforementioned Star Wars.
I often find myself chuckling at the beginning of these videos when Adam and Stephen exchange pleasantries, as though they're not filming all of these over the course of a day or few 😆
Loved that flick, back in the day !! :)
The glaive is, of course, awesome, as well as being the most iconic prop in the film. But for me, I always loved the guards escorting Lyssa in the beginning. Their armor & weapons were just so cool-looking, and I haven't seen those same props being used in any other movies which makes 'em even more unique.
I just watched Krull again a few weeks ago, still love it as much as I did as a kid. A youngish Robby Coltrane was also in it.
As a little kid who watched Krull in theatres. It was such a huge movie for me. It's not a great movie later to watch in life. But as a kid. Was great..
Replica geeks are drowning in their own drool. This is brilliant.
