''Quest of the Delta Knights'' is a 1993 fantasy/adventure sword and sorcery film wholly lacking in sorcery. It's another one of those movies that [[Vindicated by Cable|wouldn't have a page on this wiki]] were it not for ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' and its [[Mystery Science Theater 3000/Recap/S09
The plot concerns a young boy named Travis (nicknamed "Tee"), who is sold into slavery after he is orphaned in an attack on a caravan. Tee is bought by Baydool (a slumming David Warner), a beggar man who is secretly a spy for the Order of the Delta Knights, a society dedicated to knowledge, justice, eradicating evil; the usual heroic stuff. The knight makes Tee his apprentice as he covertly opposes the dastardly Lord Vultare (also a slumming David Warner), who is looking for the fabled Lost Storehouse of Archimedes, rumored to contain all manner of ancient-high-tech doodads that would allow their wielder to [[Take Over the World]].
Line 20:
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Attempted with Leonardo and Thena. Failed mostly because Leonardo turns into an unlikable jackass from the moment they rescue Thena from slavers.
* [[Big No]]: There's a silent one from Travis in the beginning.
* [[Bigger Bad]]: The Mannerjay, who's the super-evil ruler of Whereeverthehellitania, but she never gets involved in the main conflict in any way.
* [[Breast Expansion]]: Apparently, finding out you're a princess causes your breasts to enlarge.
** And she wasn't exactly a [[Pettanko]] to begin with. This is quite [[Insane Troll Logic|logical]], however. If [[Everything's Better with Princesses]] and [[Buxom Is Better]], then promotion to princess = [[Breast Expansion]].
Line 47:
** Tee himself would be seen again years later as the [[Home Alone]] parody in [[Robin Hood: Men in Tights]].
* [[Historical Domain Character|Historical Domain Characters]]: Archimedes and that git from Vinci, Leonardo.
* [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold]]: Thena the bawdyhouse princess.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Tee's blowgun.
** Baydool uses a pan of his own urine.
* [[In the Past Everyone Will Be Famous]]: Leonardo ''of'' Vinci.
* [[Kid Hero]]: Tee.
Line 62:
* [[Older Sidekick]]: Leo again.
* [[Plagiarism]]: "So Leonardo was a moron who stole all his ideas?" From Archimedes, who also stole them.
** The opening scenes also rip off ''[[Citizen of the Galaxy]]'' word for word.
* [[Prophecies Rhyme All the Time]]: "The arrow will show / Where the Father did glow / From the house of the One / Treasures are given..."
