Hi,
I've been thinking about a movie I haven't seen in like 30 years (the movie is older) but can't remember the name.
It starts with a battle I think and there is a guy sitting in a window of a wooden hut but unable to move (he's an invalid) staring at the battle (think sword & sorcery) and after the battle some folks are carrying a huge broad sword up an incline to where this man is sitting. They give him something and he can walk again and they send him on a quest.
He gets a horse and has to bring it to a watering hole and make it drink 3 times and it becomes his battle steed.
Then there's a couple of battles and then all I remember is the end where he battles a 3 headed dragon.
If any one knows of what I speak please post the name. It's one of those things that gnaw at you and gnaw at you and gnaw at you... you get the picture.

Thanks

... which was rightly mocked on an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
