this sword and sorcery story of an appallingly brutal and callous hero vanquish an evil king be worthless in almost every detail . the acting be horrible from the lead to the support role . the leering and gloat glee with which the director show the hero smear blood around be absolutely disgust while nor be it redeem by any justice to his cause and since he be as bad a the people he fight . z movie editing be abundant and include a scene where a character die from a sword thrust that very obviously miss completely . the movie be clearly bank on the charm of the female lead and barbi benton and lana clarkson and who be parade around mostly naked throughout the movie . a a 20 something male and i will not pretend that female flesh on the screen doesn not attract me . but the treatment of their character be so degrading and the sex scene so casual and joyless and that i couldn not enjoy even this aspect of the movie . most cheesy movie of this era be at least somewhat redeem by a light hearted and tongue in cheek feel ( the sequel be well in this regard ) and but deathstalker seem to take itself completely seriously a heroic fantasy . no way . avoid at all cost . rating represent half out of .
