Fire and Ice (animation): Difference between revisions

[[File:FireAndIceMovie.jpg|frame|Loincloth chic.]]

 

'''''Fire and Ice'''''. From their stronghold in Icepeak, the evil [[Evil Matriarch|Queen Juliana]] and her son Nekron ([[Blackest Night|not that one]], or [[Rhapsody of Fire|the other one]]) send forth a wave of glaciers, forcing humanity to retreat south towards the equator. Nekron sends a delegation to King Jarol in Firekeep to request his surrender, but this is really a ruse for Nekron's sub-humans to kidnap Jarol's daughter, the Princess Teegra. But Teegra makes an escape and comes upon Larn, the only survivor of a village razed by glaciers, who offers to escort her back to Firekeep. As Teegra is recaptured, Larn teams with the mysterious Darkwolf to save Teegra and then travel to Icepeak to stop Juliana.

This animated movie was neither financially nor critically successful, but later became a cult classic among fans of the film's two creators, [[Ralph Bakshi]] and [[Frank Frazetta]].

 

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Teegra, in many instances. Almost every time she's captured, she's tough and resourceful enough to escape on her own -- before the heroes arrive. She also easily escapes from the giant squid-like monster that nearly eats Larn.

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Juliana is a perfectly normal name, but "Nekron"...?

* [[Big No]] {{spoiler|When Teegra's brother died}}

* [[Blood Knight]]: Surprisingly out of all the barbaric looking (including Dark Wolf), it is Nekron, who should be the [[Smug Snake]] and [[Squishy Wizard]]. Rather than use his magic to simply kill Larn on the spot, he takes off his shirt, takes a sword and spars with him for a bit (though he does use magic in between this spar) and overpowers him. Nekron spars him to be rested because he wounded him and wanted to fight him again and he's interesting {{spoiler|which doesn't happen because he's killed by Darkwolf.}} This would explain why a hot babe like Teegra and peace doesn't interest him.

* [[Death World]]: At many points, it seems the characters can't go ten feet without getting attacked by dire wolves, killer pillbugs, freshwater giant squid, and [[Slurpasaur|giant iguanas]].

* [[Determinator]]: Darkwolf

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: The men don't wear anything more concealing than the women, and their musculature is drawn with attentive detail.

* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: Dinosaurs, man-and-mook-eating insects, giant squids, wandering packs of wolves... and that's before we even consider the actual bad guys.

* [[Evil Laugh]]

* [[Expy]]

** Darkwolf is pretty much [[Conan the Barbarian|Conan]].

* [[Fan Service]]: By Frank Frazetta!

* [[Foot Popping]]: At the very end of the film, when Larn and Teegra embrace, she does this.

* [[Gainaxing]]: Arguably one of the earliest examples, though surprisingly, less than one would expect. They were dismayed to discover they couldn't find an actress with Teegra's endowments; if they had, she probably would have been bouncing like ''crazy'' when she ran.

* [[Good All Along]]: The [[Mooks]] after the main bad guys are killed. It's implied they'll go back to living in the north and not bother the protagonists.

* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Averted.

* [[Grim Up North]]

* [[One Million BC]]: For all it's worth, cavemen riding pterosaurs and everything.

* [[Physical God]]: {{spoiler|Darkwolf's face}} shows up in some ancient ruins...

* [[Red Shirt]]

* [[Screaming Warrior]]: Darkwolf

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Basically the whole movie.

* [[Transformation Name Announcement]]

* [[The Unintelligible]]: The sub-humans, most of them.
