Rating: Summary: Well, it ain't Shakespeare... Review: ...But it's fun to watch. Often times people accuse me of having terrible taste in movies. Let me prove them all right by admitting that I LOVE the first Deathstalker film. Sure the acting is almost of the high quality one associates with Middle School Christmas Pageants (at it's best), the sets are lame, and the story is embarassing, but darnit all, I likes what I sees. Theres swordwork and beasts from hell, and nudity (lest we forget the nudity) This is a genre I adore, and "DeathStalker" is one of the paste jewels in the tinfoil crown of Sword and sorcery.

Rating: Summary: Sword, Sorcery, and Stupidity Review: Deathstalker is a thief and a killer who only steal and kills for a living. He is not interested in heroism or glory. What he does seem interested in is forcing himself on almost every woman in the film (starting with the first sequence).Deathstalker has been asked to unseat an evil sorcerer who has usurped the throne but he has refused. Then a powerful witch tells him where to get a powerful sword (why does she want him to have it when he has proven to be a scoundrel? Unknown). Armed with the sword, he sets out to get two other powerful objects (an amulet and a chalice, both held by the evil sorcerer). Along the way he forces himself on another woman (who then falls in love with him if you can believe it) and enters a tournament that will kill off the great warriors (as all tournaments to the death do). In the end, Deathstalker manages to defeat the sorcerer in the most anti-climactic scene of all time (he walks up to the sorcerer and takes the chalice as the sorcerer decides to cower and not defend himself). Deathstalker then holds up the three items and says, "I destroy you" and we are left to assume that the objects are destroyed (how?). A very silly tale with more nudity than an average Girls Gone Wild video and with about the same amount of plot. But still, fans of the genre will enjoy watching this one.

Rating: Summary: When porn stars try to go mainstream Review: Have you ever been out for a drive and seen an awful car accident and could not help watch? That is a good way to describe this movie, torturously engaging. The main character plays a striking resemblence to a really buff Ben Stiller, please take a look and email me if I'm wrong. The plot, well, I watched the whole thing, and I don't think I noticed a plot, basically scenes were intertwined randomly to connect breasts to swordplay, swordplay to breasts, and sometimes both at the same time, so, why didn't I like this movie?

Rating: Summary: Watch This For A Laugh Review: I bought this a little while back along with Beastmaster, Conan Complete Quest, and Red Sonja. After popping Deathstalkers in(Ive never seen it before, but it was only $5.00), I wasn't sure if I was watching a softcore porn or a sword and sorcery flick. The movie is basically made up of really ugly troll creatures, sex and nudity, cheesy sword fights, and the most awful lines I've ever heard in a movie. Also, the plot is basically nonsensical, which makes this even more of a gem. I love this movie because of its bad acting, bad script, and low budget, its hilariously funny. Im not a fan of senseless nudity though, which this movie has a ton of, but other than that, this movie is hilarious(even though I'm pretty sure it wasn't intended to be).
Only buy this if your expecting it to be really crappy, because its not an awesome Sword and Sorcery flick, more like a spoof.
Rating: Summary: Deathstalker has a turn on part Review: In Deathstalker a guard of the sorceror transforms into a hot woman in an attempt to kill stalker.Great transformation scene but besides that the movie is not so great
Rating: Summary: 80's sword&sorcery Review: Let me just start off by saying that although it is a "Conan" type movie this is the best Deathstalker movie. It is very serioius and only has one or two jokes in the movie. You've got trolls in caves, magical swords, eyeball eating monsters, fights to the death including beheadings, and plenty of blood! What more could you want from a 1980's Sword&Sorcery movie. I first saw parts 3 and 4 and liked them but this one (to me)is the best.
Rating: Summary: The Best Of the Best Review: sowrd play at its best....Rick Hill is the only True "DEATHSTALKER" {playing in 1 & 4} this film series is great If your a liker of low-budget films {aka b-movies} I just wish they would stop with all the RAPE, T&A Is importont in A Fantasy movie {thats why Conan The Destroryer didnt cut it}But the DeathStalker and Barbarian Queen movie series went a little overbored..But all in all this was a great Movie. Great,GREAT,great sowrd play and not the worst story ever....A must buy
