Kevin Sorbo made a Kull movie some years ago. Despite the good special effects, costumes and sets, I thought it was pretty average. To me, the best film in this genre was Conan The Barbarian (the original with Arnie.)
I come from the future, I just found out that the directing duo behind The Void, Psycho Goreman and Leprechaun Returns are actually doing a remake of Deathstalker.
I don't know what a man could ask for more in a sword and sorcery movie... gratuitous boob and ass shots, violence, gore, swords, a chivalrious duel, a badass female knight and so on. Yeah, yeah, the movie is bad but enjoyable.:))
If I saw this as a kid I'd be totally into it like Red Sonja, Masters of the Universe, Flesh + Blood, or the Mario Bros movie. I know they arent good, but childhood nostalgia is a wield thing. I call it terrible goodness.
just saw this the other day and there is tons of nudity ! i was wondering how many parents rented it for their kids thinking it was like conan when in reality its like conan made for cinemaxlol...
Not seen this film but recently watched Deathstalker II which was a self aware comedy pastiche of Sword and Sourcary films. Was the first film not also a comedy?
It falls more in line with the way the evil dead series was a serious first movie and all sequels taking comedic positions at all points instead of horror and terror
0:09- Where every Where's Waldo picture comes to life. 0:25- Um, a Gregorian guard from Jabba's Palace? 1:05- Unless the satanic power of Anton Lavey gets in his way...Or is that The Cinema Snob? 1:58- Oh, yeah right. You sure The Scorpion King isn't lurking around the corner somewhere, waiting for HIS moment to shine?
It looks like a Cloven Hoof album in movie form. Cloven Hoof are a heavy metal/power metal band from the UK who are known for their swords/sorcery fantasy themed concepts.
In the early 80's, my dad would sometimes take me out to see a bunch of double matinees (alas they don't do doubles anymore). Most of the time they were a mix bag of a horror movie with a sword and sandal movie. Saw more T&As than I know what to do with.
There was a lot of 3rd rate Conan knock offs in the early 80's. By the mid 80's they were al but extinct. This one was so cheesy, it was cheesy for the 80's. Ughhh.
Oh yes, I remember there were a huge number of Conan clones back in those days. As much as I liked Conan The Barbarian, I thought most of the copycat films that followed were garbage. Ator was so bad, it was hilarious. Beast Master was one of the better ones. I'll have to check out this one...not sure if Ive seen it before.
If you were into fantasy movies in the early to mid eighties and dungeons and dragons, this movie actually kicked butt and was cool.
Still is cool. Time does not lessen the quality of a movie.
Man I miss this kind of stuff. I hope it makes a comeback at some point
well... watch the first season of the The Witcher. It's like dumb version of Deathstalker series, but with CGI.
@@creatorsunionSVERDLOVSK CGI makes movies looks plastic. But that's the digital age for you.
try Lucio Fulci's CONQUEST
@@creatorsunionSVERDLOVSK It's pretty bad. Not in a fun campy way, just really irritating

The early 80's were such a good time for movies 😍
1:16..."I'm TRYING not to laugh, honest!"
Herb Jergens I laughed
Even she couldn't control her laugh
appreciate this because its camp.. This reminds me of being a young man at the video store and wondering of the clerk will let me rent it
I actually saw this at a multiplex movie theater when it was released. I miss the days movies like it was available to see like that.
Looks like the princess is trying to stop herself from laughing.
I remember back in the day….this was all anybody talked about in the trailer park.
I come from the future, I just found out that the directing duo behind The Void, Psycho Goreman and Leprechaun Returns are actually doing a remake of Deathstalker.
Hopefully they reuse the classic theme from the first deathstalker
@TheSteel101 I hope so too.
Do taxes ever go down or should I just quit right now?😂
Oh man, I watched it about ten times when I was a kid.
Are you all kidding me? The reason to watch this movie is to see Barbi Benton. I so had a crush on her when I was a kid. She's still cute.
Happy birthday to Barbi Benton 🎂🎁🎈🎉🥂
I don't know what a man could ask for more in a sword and sorcery movie... gratuitous boob and ass shots, violence, gore, swords, a chivalrious duel, a badass female knight and so on.
Yeah, yeah, the movie is bad but enjoyable.:))
I love it. I'd watch this over another pov stupid found-footage movie anyday.
If I saw this as a kid I'd be totally into it like Red Sonja, Masters of the Universe, Flesh + Blood, or the Mario Bros movie. I know they arent good, but childhood nostalgia is a wield thing.

@@kevinhunt1202 ^
The thing is these movies are more risky and exciting then modern day remakes.
Well Conan The Barbarian had nudity as well (both the original and the remake.)@@kevinhunt1202
That Ogre totally inspired Bebop and Rock Steady!
Nah, this came out in 1983. Bebop and Rock Steady weren't around until 1987.
Gamorrean Guards fid it first.
1:16 I love how the actress is visibly having a hard time holding back the giggles at 1:16
No kidding. It's hard to take any of this serious because of it too.
The most legendary hero of them all! Conan, He-Man? Nope the rip off and more generic version of them.
And Star wars
@@NIGHTFLIGHTVIDEOStar Wars was a hack rip-off of Akira Kurasawa's body of work and Tolkin.
Not seen this film but recently watched Deathstalker II which was a self aware comedy pastiche of Sword and Sourcary films. Was the first film not also a comedy?
@@Eye_can_see_youIt looks like it takes itself a bit seriously.
It falls more in line with the way the evil dead series was a serious first movie and all sequels taking comedic positions at all points instead of horror and terror
I'm a sucker for stuff like this.
Ah yes...He-Man! 😂😂..man I'm old to even remember this movie
To quote the critics of Morbius: This was THE movie of all time.

This makes Krull look like Citizen Kane.
Seems like a poor man's Conan the Barbarian (1982), but with more fantasy elements.
Very poor man's. LIke, the poorest.
@@Three60Mafia Check out the sequels if you think this is poor.
"but with more sex"
ftfy
@@julesf.meloborges811 Yes, they at least made a coherent story with the first movie, albeit on a low budget. They didn't even try with the sequel.
Conan the Barbarian for intellectuals
Poor Man's Masters of the Universe
As if the original MotU was such a great movie ;p
that movie was my best movie ...
1:16 Even she couldn't control her laugh.
I'm not sure why Lana Clarkson wasn't the "beautiful princess" in this movie. She did make for a beautiful, badass warrior though!
Yep those sword n sandals flicks that you rented just because of the cool cover.
This is how the zelda movie should look like. Im sure this was inspiration for the game and the animated series.
HE was the MAN they called... 😂
1:34 LOL

Got to watch this sometime soon i forgot it existed 😁
Hey maybe I’ll get Deathstalker on blu ray for Christmas 🎄

I like how they simulated slow motion with their swordplay.
Lol maybe they couldn't afford to rent a high speed camera.
So much crazy!
I like that stuff...
Classic. Sword B- movie
Rest In Peace Roger Corman
deathstalker, legend !
Aguante Victor Bo! one of my heroes as a kid.
This reminds me cona and he-man
Im probably the only one who likes this more than Conan the Barbarian.
this and Fulci's CONQUEST and mint ice cream
Classic!
Conan the barbarian like movie, I liked it!
Three different actors played Deathstalker in four different films but John Terlesky is by far the best looking.
Best thing about this movie is Barbi Benton and her GLORIOUS rack.
shoutout to funhaus!
"its a whimsical rape riot"
Rich Evans.
This is accurate.
Gamorrean guards had a spare day from filming Blue Harvest
Heman, Conan, Deathstalker. And Liono?
Blonde and big : he man , beast master , death stalker . Same looks
Schwarzenegger's Conan 👍 is the best sword hero of all time💪
I can't believe they made 4 of these abortions but only 2 Conan films with Arnold. Crom is indeed a pitiless and uncaring god.
0:40 HE was the MAN to be called...DEATHSTALKER! 🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ And that's how Ladies and Gentlemen, COPYRIGHTS WORK! 😂 DEATHSTALKER!
Main villain: Gamorrean on Steroids
Hm, the band guy looks like Anton LavVey
WTF...how the hell I got in here :)
they sure don't make em like they used to LOL
Thanos of the 1980s
Is he supposed to be a slim version of Conan?
omg. where is my NES? wait... i never had a nes.
Ebay.. that movie is Expensive now lol.. wtf.. nooooo
I'm going to watch this..lol
yeah baby
Funny movie
فلام تعبان تقيم 10/2🤮🤮🤮
completely glosses over all the rape lmfao
There's a lot of rape in this movie. Check out RedLetterMedia's "review" of it. On "Best of The Worst", episode....hmm......
It's not like there were no rapes in the Dark Ages or anything...
This looks shockingly bad. Is the oversized Ork on the cover art even in the movie?
Masters of the Universe (wannabe) almost?
"beautiful" to her mom maybe lol
Jesus... 🤦🏻♂
lol why is this on shudder
Because it's exploitation. Shudder has more than just horror on their server.
There was a lot of 3rd rate Conan knock offs in the early 80's. By the mid 80's they were al but extinct. This one was so cheesy, it was cheesy for the 80's. Ughhh.
