Yes, it was indeed a bad movie, made far more palatable by the MST3K crew ... but have you actually seen the original without the commentary? I haven't actually gone and compared them side by side, but I could swear they edited out a few of David's best Vultare scenes ... because they were actually *funny* the way he delivered them. (Yet another fine example of him rising far above the material.)
I actually thought he looked a lot sexier as the good wizard--maybe it's just me, but I don't think dark hair becomes him very well ... and I usually go for dark hair too. (So now that we know he can play a wizard, when's he going to get a role in the Harry Potter series? I thought he should have gotten the role as Dumbledore when it was recast, but now it seems to me Rufus Scrimgeour in "Half-Blood Prince" was written just for him; not only does the physical description fit, but I could even hear him saying the dialogue in my mind when I read it. Although I'd also take him as Gandalf in the upcoming Hobbit movie.)
Yeah, "wizard whizz" ... ewwww! (That MST3K version was indeed hilarious.)
Forgot to mention ... At the risk of bursting your bubble, but Quest of the Delta Knights is far from the worst film he's ever made. Have you seen Loving Deadly (and as a Warner fan, you'll want to!)? Ice Cream Man? Unnameable II?! But perhaps those last two are better forgotten ...
Yes, I've seen Ice Cream Man and Unnameable II - but he didnt play 2 parts and narrate the damn things - this one he did, i consider this HIS movie, whereas the others you mentioned, i dont.

Re: Quest
As the good guy when he was younger, he was sexay. when he got older, hmm. the mustache was weird, and the death scene was beyond hilarious.
