Hi all, hopefully I'll have more luck with this film than the last one I posted.

I saw this film on one of the cable movie channels a few months ago. It looks like it may have been from the 70s-80s. It was a fantasy martial arts film that I think was based on Buddhist parables, though it was American-made and starred Americans, and rather bastardized the parables. The main character was a young wandering fighter named "Chord" or "Kord", I remember someone laughing about his name being like a musical chord. He was blond and shirtless (maybe he just wore a loincloth?). He was searching for a book that would teach him to be the ultimate fighter, and met many tests and mentors on the way. There were a lot of silent parts just looking at desert/rocky landscapes. His main mentor was a blind older man who played the flute. Chord/Kord had to prove his worth by fighting a bunch of monkey men, a desert warlord (who crucified Chord's short-lived girlfriend, yikes!), and a semi-invisible... cat man? I vaguely remember a guy in a dark monster suit with claws. Chord/Kord eventually found the book in a sort of Shangri-La where everyone dressed in goofy pastel purple robes. When he opened the book, there was just a mirror inside, and he laughed and returned to his flute-playing mentor to... continue the cycle, I guess? Anyway, I'd like to know what the film was called. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm fairly sure it's Circle of Iron.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

Yes it is, thanks Shadow! Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice Christopher Lee and David Carradine among the cast.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
