...knight should be--honorable and chivalrous, 6 ft. 4 in. tall and an expert in armed combat. On weekends Sir Tristan von Eising is a proud nobleman of the Barony of Nordskogen, but during the week he is better known as Darren Chermack, 34, an inventor who is a sword-carrying member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (S.C.A.), an organization devoted to re-creating the lifestyle of premodern Europe. And in case you're not familiar with the Barony of Nordskogen, most benighted Muggles know it as the greater Minneapolis--St. Paul, Minn., area. Strange and magical things...

...broad, and for supporting players with cross-eyes and a huge, hairy wart (a talisman of sorts, don?t ask me why, for martial arts movies of the period). But along with some cunning, made-in-the-basement special effects, ?CESK? includes the star?s much-anthologized stool-vs.-sword fight and the not-easily-forgettable sight of Samo?s naked body painted with Chinese characters - he?s become a slab of calligraffiti. After kicking much bony-vampire ass, he gets wise to his cheating wife. Shouting, ?I knew you were having an affair, you bitch!?, he punches her hard...
