Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Val Kilmer, Kevin Pollak, Joanne Whalley, Warwick Davis, Jean Marsh
Revealing mistake: When they are at the Nutmar camp in the mountains, Val Kilmer tells Willow "Get on that shield!" but when they go over a 6, 7, 8 foot drop when they are sledding down the snow, you can clearly see runners on the shield.
High Aldwin: Go in the direction the bird is flying!
Burglekutt: It's going back to the village!
High Aldwin: Ignore the bird! Follow the river!
Trivia: Pat Roach - General Kael - intended to do the stunts by himself, but there was one thing that prevented this: "Insurance - they wouldn't let me." So horsemaster Greg Powell did the stunts for him.
Answer: Bavmorda's ritual was the Ritual of Obliteration - a spell that is used to destroy a living spirit's essence or soul. Presuambly if she'd just killed Elora, the soul would have been later reborn into another baby.
