Quest for the Mighty Sword is the forth and final film in the Ator film series, although it is regarded as the third film to the series creator, Joe D'Amato, who disowns the third film which was the only film in the series not to be directed by D'Amato. It is also known as "The Hobgoblin", "Ator III: The Hobgoblin" (this title demonstrating D'Amato's disregard for the previous film) and simply "Ator l'Invinsible", as D'Amato considered it a remake of the original.

Joe d'Amato was reportedly displeased with Brescia's approach to his character, and so re-took control of the franchise in 1988. In 1990, d'Amato released the final Ator film, Ator l'invincible, a retooling of the first film in the series. It was released in Europe and the United States under a variety of titles including: Ator III: The Hobgoblin (indicating d'Amato's disregard for the previous film), Quest for the Mighty Sword, and Hobgoblin. Here, Eric Allan Kramer plays Ator; this is the only film in the series not to feature Miles O'Keeffe in the role.

"Fans" of D'Amato often note that the "hobgoblin" from this film is a reused goblin suit from D'Amato's Troll 2.
