	Movies - Quest of the Delta Knights

Quest of the Delta Knights is a 1993 fantasy/adventure (sword and sorcery) film that was infamously featured in a September 1998 episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Plot

The plot revolves around a young boy named Tee, who learns from his master that he is the key to saving the world from an evil plot. Tee joins the secret organization of the Delta Knights and embarks on a quest to attempt to recover the lost treasures inside the fabled Lost Storehouse of Archimedes.

The cinematic accomplishments of the movie are decidedly meager, such as the completely unexplained casting of David Warner as both the hero's mentor and the main antagonist. The dialogue is decidedly campy (at one point Lord Vultare threatens Baydool with "I grow weary of your antics, beggar-man!", which is made all the more amusing by the fact that David Warner is in fact talking to himself in the scene) and the movie has a definite low-budget atmosphere.

Also noteworthy is the extreme confusion the film displays with regard to setting, both in terms of time period and location. The story supposedly takes place in medieval England; however, a number of plot elements contradict this. Vultare's henchmen wear headgear strongly resembling Viking helmets. Leonardo da Vinci, a figure from Renaissance Italy, appears as a major character in the plot. Finally, Leonardo and Tee are searching for the lost storehouse of Archimedes, a figure from ancient Greece.
