Customer Reviews of Deathstalker 2
The Lord of the B-Movies One of the best of the 80's sword and scorcery movies, Deathstalker 2 still rules. It has everything: swordfights, an evil sorceror (is there any other kind?), swashbuckling action, semi-clad beauties and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor that ties it all together.
For DS2 fans who have the VHS version and are wondering if the DVD version is worth buying: Yes! This version includes a feature-length audio commentary by director Jim Wynorski, Toni Naples (Sultana), and John Terlesky (Deathstalker himself) for behind-the-scenes information you didn't even know you wanted to know....
S&S B-movie fans in general and Deathstalker 2 fans in particular will want this movie.
The greatest movie EVER
Due to some for of nostalgia, I have been on a recent kick of searching for all the 80's Sword and Sorcery movies as of late. My favorite rediscovery so far (Excluding the Conan films because their budgets were too high) was Deathstalker II. This movie has absolutely EVERYTHING you could ever want in a movie: Violence and Bloodshed, Amazons, T&A, cheesy one liners, and is excessively degrading to women. In the sequel, Deathstalker isn't some muscle-man, just some guy with a sword. He's not ripped, in fact he's got a bit of a gut (just a bit) which adds to the realism of the movie, except when it is all ripped away by the extras such as Ivan the terrible's henchmen expelled for excessive brutality sitting alongside one of Atilla the hun's former soldiers. The Pig-headed warrior also makes a return cameo, and a cheesy score that Manowar would be proud of. infuriate your girlfriend by getting this movie! Now its on DVD. I have died and gone to Valhalla....
Sword and Sorcery Camp and More Camp
One can only think that Sam Raimi is a fan of this movie as he seems to have copied much of the camp from this film. Once the camp has been removed, Deathstalker II is mostly a collection of clips lifted from the first movie.
Deathstalker is out plying his thieving trade when he happens on a seer who seems to be more trouble than she is worth. You know the tone of the film when the seer asks him if Deathstalker is his first or last name.
What plot there is consists of Deathstalker being convinced to help the seer return to her throne, one occupied by a sorcerous double.
Along the way we get profession wrestling with a giant Amazon, the attack of the shuffling zombies, plenty of scenes from the first movie, lots of bad jokes, anachronisms galore, heaps of nudity, and a few truckloads of camp.
As this was not the serious film that the first was, it is more successful in its goal. Just imagine a Bruce Campbell King of Thieves movie (except most of the wisecracks come from the seer) and you will get an idea of what to expect. It's fun. Really.
