> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > A sword & sandal type movie. The hero is visiting a king who demonstrates his power by having two of his flunkies hang themselves. They do so within seconds, and with no second thoughts. I don’t remember how they affixed the ropes, but it was fast. The movie was probably 70s or 80s. > [@Gyrate](#): > > I don’t know, but I feel like someone asked this same question not all that long ago. Hmmm… Found it. Not only did somebody ask this already (last November), it was **you**. > [@ID these movies?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/id-these-movies/954149/1): > > The first was an old movie with Peter Lorre. Lorre, and a couple of other guys’ plane crashes into the ocean. The guys resignedly light cigarettes, and wait for the end, as the plane sinks. > The other movie was, I believe, a sword and sorcery type. A king, in order to impress his visitor, commands the two flunkies next to him to hang themselves, which they promptly do. Sorry I couldn’t be more vague 🙂 And it was answered then too. > [@ID these movies?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/id-these-movies/954149/3): > > Think the Sword and Sorcery is [Beastmaster (1982)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083630/reference) Write it down this time, man! 😃 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-fantasy-flick-was-this-from/962239)._
