YMMV / Ator, the Fighting Eagle

• Designated Hero: A recurring complaint in reviews of the film is how useless Ator is for much of the movie. He has to be repeatedly rescued by Roon, but then leaves her to her own devices during the Bar Brawl. And his motives for going after Dakkar appear to be a combination of wanting to save his wife and Because Destiny Says So, rather than any great interest in improving the condition of his country.
• Special Effects Failure: The furry, nearly immobile giant spider puppet is unlikely to scare even the most sensitive arachnophobe, especially since they didn't even build the whole thing. This adds lots of Narm Charm to Ator's climactic battle with it.
• Squick: The whole quasi-incestuous nature of Ator and Sunya's relationship has also come in for a lot of ribbing, and is also baffling because it's completely unnecessary to the plot. Joe D'Amato's background in porn might have something to do with it.
