Film poster for Hawk The Slayer. Hawk stands in the centre with the magical Mindsword held over his head. His evil brother Voltan's head floats behind him as various vignettes from the movie are placed around the central image. The poster has the - slightly misleading - tagline of "Two Brothers Locked In Deadly Combat To The End of Time".
