Overview

Step into a world of swords, sorcery, and epic battles with Deathstalker, the 1983 cult classic that defined the sword-and-sorcery genre. Starring Richard Hill as the mighty warrior Deathstalker, this film takes you on a perilous journey through a medieval kingdom plagued by treachery, magic, and evil forces. Tired of mundane battles and yearning to fulfill his destiny, Deathstalker embarks on a quest to win the throne of an evil wizard, gain ultimate mystical power, and capture the heart of the spirited Princess Codille (Barbi Benton). Packed with action, adventure, and a touch of dark humor, Deathstalker is a must-watch for fans of fantasy cinema.

Brawny blond longhair Richard Hill is the rogue barbarian hero Deathstalker in this hilariously slapdash sword-and-sorcery adventure. Armed with a sword that makes him invincible (provided by an otherwise completely useless sidekick), he heads off for a tournament of warriors sponsored by an evil wizard with a nasty plot to kill all his rivals... but don't worry about the plot because it makes no sense. This shot-in-Argentina, Roger Corman production features badly staged swordfights, loads of gratuitous nudity, female mud wrestling, trolls in bad rubber masks, and a funky eyeball-eating demon sock puppet. Former Hugh Hefner girlfriend Barbi Benton seems rather embarrassed in her role as a whiny harem girl. John Terlesky took over the title role in the sequel (Deathstalker II: Duel of the Titans) while topless warrior woman costar Lana Clarkson graduated to her own series, Barbarian Queen. --Sean Axmaker
