Declan Mulholland in Time Bandits with John Cleese in 1981.

Declan Mulholland was hired to play Jabba the Hutt in The Empire Strikes Back. He did a scene with Harrison Ford, complete with costuming and set. As it turns out, George Lucas was unsure how he was going to portray Jabba. He really didn't want a human to play him, he thought he would replace Declan in the scene with a stop-action animated Jabba. In the end he cut this scene and used a giant slug-like puppet as Jabba. Some say that Lucas did initially plan to have Declan play Jabba after William Hootkins turned down the role, but it wasn't working out with Declan.

I genuinely, unironically love Hawk the Slayer. More folks should watch it, and then we can all gather round the fire and talk about the awesome soundtrack and how it sounds a little bit like Jeff Wayne at times, Jack Palance all but literally chewing the scenery, if any of us had played 80s British Character Bingo and what names we ticked off, speculating on whether they had a discount on the fog machine because there's fog in nearly every single scene (even inside the abbey towards the end!), and so on.

Shocked and disappointed that there are so few Hawk the Slayer posts on tumblr... like why are all y'all, especially the Wizards among you, sleeping on this film? Why don't I have a gif of Voltan screaming "WIZAAAARRRD!" The magic hula hoops? The Silly String of Death? The disco flute soundtrack? Horrible haircuts? Super saturated backdrops? Glowing fist sword? Hello?

Movie #30 of 2024: Hawk the Slayer

The story is ludicrous but editor Eric Boyd-Perkins bends time, warps flat performances (Jack Palance being the exception of course), motivates the use of heavy fishnet over lens diffused lighting, and composites charmingly practical vfx to lift this 1980 fantasy film to sublime levels of cinema you might not expect.
