The lustful Crocodile Queen commands an army of half-men, half-crocodiles in this riotous sword and sorcery 80s fantasy with impressive stunts and non-stop action.

Starring beloved Indonesian action hero Barry Prima, The Devil’s Sword swings wildly between fantasy, martial arts action and horror. Inspired by a comic book series, the film takes place in mythical pre-Islamic times and long before Dutch colonial rule.

Vengeful goddess the Crocodile Queen sends her soldier Banyujaga to steal the fiancé of a local village’s princess. Heroic Mandala (Barry Prima) helps defend the princess and in doing so, learns of the mythical and powerful Devil’s Sword, forged from a mysterious metallic substance that fell to Earth in a meteorite, and the only thing that can bring about the demise of the feared Crocodile Queen. 

Mandala sets out on a quest to recover the Devil’s Sword, and defeat the evil Crocodile Queen and her army of crocodile men once and for all.
