International Knightmare!

I dunno. I reckon Rod Hull would have made a great Lord Fear.
"There's Somebody at the Spyglass, There's Somebody at the Spyglass"
This would of course be followed by a Giant Emu's head decending from the sky and trying to bite the Dungeoneer.
I'll never forget Billy Connolly on Parkinson. After Parky being repeatedly attacked by Emu Billy grabbed Emu around the neck and said "If you go for me I'll break your neck and his fupping arm"
Right, I'm of to blast some ghettos

I agree with those have said that Mark Knight is indeed perfect as Lord Fear, but if we're looking for an alternative, I say Alan Rickman would be perfect.
He has the sarcastic humour down perfectly, whether as a good guy or a bad guy (see Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, Dogma, Galaxy Quest and Die Hard for a start) and he, like MK himself has a very convincing sneering demeanour.

Well, if it was made in Hollywood the plot'd probably be the story of the plucky American hill-fort of "Dunce-hellm", where the good ol', all-American, yankee boy Dungeon Master Treguardberg leads a heroic resistance group fighting a war for truth, justice and the American way, against the evil occupying forces of the Opposition led by the callous, sneaky, slimy, brutal English warlord and aristocrat, Lord Smyth-Ponsonby-Cornwallis Fear.

Some Americans go back in time and meet Treguard, but with one problem they don't speak Medieval English and because of their strange clothes are suspected of being witches or something and burnt.
I always hate those movies where Americans meet King Arthur.
They always refered to England, but there was no England then so Arthur would've spoken a mixture of old British and Latin.
-
When I refered to Medieval English I meant in treguard's time not Arthur's.
The language which is often refered to as Old British is very similar to Welsh and you would not have got Gaelic in Souther Britain because Gaelic is Irish. Arthur could ahve spoken Cornish.

No, it isn't called "Scotch", it's called "Scots" or "Scottish". Scotch is a drink.
The Scots did not "come from" Ireland... the Scoti came from Ireland. The race we call the Scots are a fusion of Scoti settlers, Britons from Strathclyde, and the native Picts. And they were not the Dalriata, they were the Dalriadha Gaels.
Yes, Gaelic was more likely to be a northern dialect, but so what? You're making the classic error of assuming that Arthur was from the south, when in truth we have little idea what part of Britain he would have lived in. The stereotype is that he was Cornish, but there's no real evidence that he was (in fact, there's no direct evidence that he ever existed at all). He might very conceivably have been found in what is now south Scotland, near the forest of Caledon or the city of Roxburgh for instance.
With respect, Pendragon, I suggest that YOU read up on these things, as I have a strong suspicion from the errors in your information that I know them better than you do.
