The Sword of Eura is now at play, apparently. At least according to the naked chained woman. Carradine did not rescue her though. Just listened to her, killed a man, then left. hahahahaha.
And now Carradine is winning sword fights by kicking everyone in the groin.
Topless woman stands there watching it all, bewildered.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
