anybody who think the original deathstalker ( 1983 ) be abysmal should skip it lightweight and lackluster sequel deathstalker represent duel of the titan with john terlesky take over the sword wield duty from rick hill a the eponymous warrior hero . indeed and deathstalker 2 look like a threadbare straight to video sequel . this potboiler rely and much to big bad mama director jim wynorski chagrin and on footage from it superior predecessor as well a generic roger corman footage . furthermore and neither scenarist neil ruttenberg nor dialogue writer r. j. robertson make any mention of deathstalker previous heroic exploit . wynorski state on the commentary track that they tear up the first screenplay and rework it because it be so terrible . deathstalker 2 be pretty terrible a it be and so one can only imagine how egregious the preliminary script must have be . this cardboard muscle man adventure spring no surprise on it audience and except for the automobile tire that appear in the garbage dump where wynorski stag a scene and candidly admit that he miss during lensing . the sword fight lack energy and and the amateurish acting and particularly by monique gabrielle and be laughable . the first scene have our hero act like indiana jones a he sneak into a castle ( the shot be lift from corman own movie the terror and to steal a gem but then have to fight his way out . since film boast only the most minimal of budget and lensed a it be on location in argentina to lower cost and deathstalker 2 resemble a studio bound television comedy drama with our hero and heroine bickering with each other a they defend themselves from the adversary . like the original deathstalker and deathstalker 2 pit our hero against an evil sorcerer and jarek the sorcerer ( john lazar of scorpion ) who have magical power . he have make a double of princess evie ( monique gabrielle ) and cast evie out to roam the kingdom and instal the double on the throne and and rule the kingdom . reena and ostensibly call herself a seer and recruit the prince of thief and deathstalker ( john terlesky of vampirella ) to help her recover her throne . meanwhile and an evil female warrior sultana ( toni naples of munchie ) be look to kill deathstalker and too . predictably and it no picnic try to slay deathstalker a the nefarious gen ( marcos woinsky ) learn . during one of the film more spectacular moment and our hero and heroine ride a gauntlet of explosive arrow a gen and his a team of miscreant try to kill him . the scene in the crypt where deathstalker escape a crush wall and save evie from a crowd of zombie be about as good a this cheesy epic get . the only other scene that match this occur when jarek kill a henchman during a conversation use water fountain to communicate . jarek shove his sword into the fountain and kill his incompetent henchman on the other side . later and a tribe of amazon warrior woman capture deathstalker and force him to defend his honor in a trial by combat . the amazon hate deathstalker reputation a a womanizer and and they square him off against a gigantic redhead who make life miserable momentarily for deathstalker . like the original deathstalker and the save grace of deathstalker 2 be it self efface sense of humor . unfortunately and there be not quite enough self efface humor to counteract the amateurish acting and formulaic script and and comic book bubble dialogue . the outtake during the end credit be a bonus for anybody that hang around long enough to enjoy them . terlesky be more athletic than muscular . the horrendous hokum pay tribute to rocky and star war and raider of the lose ark and escape from new york and and goldfinger . once be more than enough to see this forgettable fodder .
