A Handy Rope
The women and children are being killed and there's no way into the fortress. Well, except for this handy rope.

Worst Cover Copy
It's Futile, All Right
"It is a story whose origins are lost in the mists of time." Except that the cover then gives us the date. And elaborates on the "techno-futile future" of Beowulf.

Inane Dialogue
Maybe It's the Helmet, Dude
"I can't see it." Then he takes off his completely opaque full-face helmet.

Acting Appropriately Stupid
She Should Have Stayed
After Beowulf rescues the girl from the angry mob which was about to kill her, she takes the first opportunity to sneak away and run back to them (and her death). "She should have stayed," her boyfriend says sympathetically from the battlements.
