“Here I go again riding hundreds of miles, fighting whole armies, up against magic maybe..in the end all I’ll get is flowers on my head and everyone telling me how wonderful I am”...OH SHUT UP!
"I can take care of myself! Protect the girl!" Sure! Which gulls do you mean?
"...Thinking I was the end of your quest." As we know it and I feel fine.
There really wasn't any "Deathstalking" in this movie, was there?

Well, mom's castle.
Haven't I seen her dancing by the pool with Spuds McKenzie?

I heard that Deathstalker was originally known as Crap-talker by his friends, mostly Nesisus, but he had it changed after a shameful incident in the shower after gym class and moved to a new school district. Also who did the voice over work for the bird ??? Must've been the guy/gal from Eehga that said "Watch out for snakes".

I love a villain who, in the big climactic fight scene, uses his two swords—what we are to believe are two weapons of hardened steel designed for stabbing—to pick up a piece of lacy fabric and gently lay it over his prone enemy (while wearing a boat neck blouse). (~1:19:30)

I gotta say... these are some of the WORST swordsmen I have ever seen. They are swinging so damn slow, I could beat each in about 3 seconds (I lettered in fencing in college). They really need 2 things. A little experience with real fighting. And a MUCH BETTER fight choreographer... who actually knows how to fight with a sword.

So, after repeated watchings, I'm starting to think that John Allen Relson (aka Deathstalker) may be the most under-appreciated actor of the 20th century. Now, hear me out: anyone can be unlikeable on occasion, or even usually, but to be so consistently, flawlessly douche-y . . . I mean, my God, it's like a work of genius.

By the by, if you ever have a chance to watch the pilot episode of Quantum Leap, I think you'll find that our simple 'hero' here plays the part of a pilot on an air force base in that show. Pretty sure it's him. I'd know that smirk anywhere.

one of my favorite episodes! i love when these guys riff renaissance/pseudo historically accurate "movies" (i.e. quest of the delta knights, another favorite of mine). in itself, the movie alone is very entertaining. the baldo old man prince who's revered by all the women as being wickedly handsome; the completely ineffectual wizard/wandering goat visitor; the grunge-box eagle meowing valiantly across the ren-fest fair grounds sky... mike and the bots just murder this film

There's one moment in this movie that actually strikes me as having some genuine emotion. When the potato woman gets killed, he says, "My life wasn't worth yours." and if there had been that much sincerity in the rest of the movie, it wouldn't have been half as bad.

I just noticed it, but the opening theme of the movie is actually James Horner's opening theme for "Battle Beyond the Stars". Then again, both "Battle Beyond the Stars" and the Deathstalker movies were made by Corman's company.

So I decided to try some of that smooth “Deathstalker” game at my local pub. I came in with fake English accent which I quickly dropped; told my attractive server girl I DID NOT kill her twin sister, constantly referred to myself as a HERO, ordered a baked potato, potato skins, French fries, tater tots, and a baked potato, challenged a balding guy to several lame sword fights, and NOTHING; no hot virgin fell in love with me, no BDSM play with a sexy nympho, no one wanted to join me in a vague revolution, although when I left I distinctly heard cheering behind me. Oh well, guess I will just go back to my old “Mitchell” moves.

The wizard, the potato ladies, the first princess who gets killed... it is ASTONISHING how little these characters contribute to the plot. If they cut this movie to the bone, it could have served as a short to another movie.

I can't get over the medieval Casio music, it just cracks me up. What is the deal with this movie, every time they get the story moving it will cut to a scene of something already in progress and as soon as I can start to follow that story line it cuts to something else. What did this movie look like before editing? Did they cut every scene that explained the plot?
