Family Guy's comparison to Lord of the Rings


In Family Guy when Chris and the store clerk are discussing the 'Why didn't they just use the eagles in the first place?' issue, the store clerk says "yeah, you don't wanna see Krull...".

Not having seen Krull for many, many years, I'm assuming there was a similar issue in it. Can anyone tell me what it is?

...then whoa, differences...

we see them on horses, and the horse are riding across sort of a wheat field, and the horses are riding so fast - this is sort of a neat special effect - you can see all the flames: the wheat is burning. Then it jumps the mountain, and it's still burning! I mean what's burning, the air, the horse?

Ah right, that does sound like a pretty glaring convenience, thanks

Ah Ok. Any idea what the Family Guy writers might be getting at otherwise?

If Family Guy has so depleted its bag of 80s pop culture references that it's using Krull gags, it may be time to hang it up. I actually like Krull, but come on, that's pretty obscure.
