Warning: Spoilers
WAR OF THE WIZARDS is the tale of a poor fisherman named Ti, who happens upon some ancient, magical artifacts. One of the objects is a "bowl of plenty", which Ti uses to become the wealthiest man in his village. Word spreads, and some unsavory characters are soon out to relieve Ti of his fortune.

Two beautiful, extremely deadly women named Hyacinth and Violet are the last to remain standing, after the rest of the criminals exterminate each other! Ti, who is very impressed, hires them as his bodyguards. They are VERY good at their new job! Ti marries them both.

Uh oh!

It seems that the eeevil witch, Flowerfox has come to take a certain book that came with the bowl. As it turns out, Flowerfox is no joke, and she really wants that book! The rest is a battle between these principal characters., including catastrophic disasters, a magic laser-emitting sword, a rock monster, and a final confrontation featuring Richard Kiel himself as Flowerfox's henchman, Steel Hand!

Absurd beyond all measure, this movie is entertaining throughout, due to its embracing of its own lunacy!

An outrageously fun viewing experience!...
