Anyone else a fan of this one??

I saw this a long time ago when I was in first grade.  Ralph Bakshi did the animation for it, it was pretty cool.  I remember that one wizard called that other wizard a "son of a bitch" and shot him and I thought that was funny.

Avatar: I want to show you a trick mom taught me when you were not in the room. Die you son of a bitch!

i remember i wa told not to watch it by my Dad, but my Mom was down with it. I remember lots of sexual innuendo, like the half naked fairy chick. Ralph Bakshi also did Fritz the Cat(fun times) especially the orgy scenes) also the last line with the good and evil wizard brothers. " the only thing i will thank you for is changing your last name you son of a bitch. cool.
i remember lots of blood to but with the right mix of humor i was cool with as a kid.
it sucks that Bakshi decided to retire from the film business. he could have kept the style going. did anyone see Scanner Darkly.?

This was my favorite animation as a kid! I loved the way they did animation like that, they don't anymore. With the cgi crap and whatnot.

[Cthulhu23]

I loved how they mixed the animation with the WWII footage. I have loved this movie since I was very young.
