SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Adrian Sweeney John Woodvine (the doctor out of American Werewolf) is great as the Cromwellian dictator of a dystopian future Britain. Julian Fellowes (yes, that Julian Fellowes, writer of Downton) is excellent as his scheming second-in-command, one of the snidiest connivers in TV history. He manipulates, sneers, looks great in kinky leather, and does action-adventure things I won't spoiler but which will make me look at him in a new light the next time I see him in a chintzy sitting-room talking about 1920s country houses. Gareth Thomas and Patrick Troughton are resistance leaders. For a kids' show and for its era it was ambitious in scope and production values and presumably budget (the look is medieval knights with motorbikes, helicopters, computers and machine-guns). I never saw it as a kid, which is a shame as I would have thought it the greatest thing ever, but even as a grown-up I had fun. It meanders at times, after a brisk opening getting mired down in certain sub-plots for slightly too long, but it all builds to a climax of jaw-dropping mayhem. Points of interest include that despite his scariness the dictator Prior Mordrin isn't a 2-dimensional villain but believes he's doing the best for the country; and that despite their name and crusader-monk aesthetic his organisation the Knights of God are pretty frankly Nietzschean and contemptuous of real religion.

Tal Rotbart I saw this series when I was a teenager and occasionally remembered it and wanted to locate DVDs of it, but had no recollection of what it was called... Recently I watched Season 2 of "Shameless" and as soon as John Woodvine appeared in it (as Neville Galagher) I recognized that he performed in the series and it gave me a vital clue. I scoured his filmography until I finally found this series. I'm glad to see that there are others that remember it, even if they are few. Hopefully I'll be able to find a copy of the series somewhere so I can watch it again.Hopefully it won't disappoint me, I watched it many years ago.

Pete Norman Recently watched this again from a copy made at the time from TV in 1987 and was pleasantly surprised how gripping the story is. If you enjoy spotting the durable British character actors who seem to appear in everything made back in the 70's & 80's,Knights of God will keep you watching. Would love to see it released on DVD,I don't know whether TVS still exists or was swallowed up by ITV at some point. However I fear it had limited appeal when first broadcast ,over looked on Sunday afternoons,which is a shame, because its definetely worth a second sight as they say!

eric-chadwick I can only agree with the other comment.It was a long time ago now but I still fondly remember this series. Made by HTV and shown I think on Sunday afternoons it was much more edgy than the usual sci-fi fare and involved religious zealots taking over britain in a modern civil war. Featuring an excellent cast and played with a serious tone it deserves to find a new audience. It also seemed to have a higher budget that the average at the time even stretching to the involvement of helicopters.Someone please release this on DVD!
