The Dungeonmaster

[gash26]

well, what can I say about this piece of... I remember seeing this as a double feature with the Beastmaster when I was 12and I thought it was great, I saw it again afew weeks ago and I could not stop laughing. I think the metal band in this movie is W.A.S.P. but I'm not quite sure.

Since it'll undoubtedly be a while (i.e., years) before I get around to doing this myself -- and curse you, Andrew, for doing it before me! -- I'd like to mention one of my all-time bad movie bits.  The Satan guy does or says something vaguely evil, and the hero notes (in a bad Clint Eastwood sort of way) that "You're the lowest of the low!", following which Satan angrily reacts with one of those "Why, You! I'll...!" reactions.  You'd really think the Prince of Darkness would have a thicker skin after all these years.

P.S.  I think the band's Black Flag.  An old schoolmate got excited when we made her watch the film, because her cousin was the lead singer.

Finally! Someone else actually saw this gem. I first watched it as a kid, and was blown away by the utter cheesiness of this fiasco. The highlight was seeing WASP in one of the "vignettes" complete with the requisite rocker dudes and aqua net babes...what can I say, I found this movie again at a store for $5.00 last week, and could not resist. I had to add it to my already heinously cheesy collection...hey. have you seen a movie called Interface? It's right up (down?) there with this flick. for a real gastronomical treat, do a double feature!

I just want you all to know that I saw this movie when I was a kid. Can´t forget it, cause I thought it was great! But if I see it today, I´ll maybe dislike it. Who knows...

have been big fans of this film ever since. I highly

First off, best movie ever.  Second, what the heck happens at the end of the movie?

Black Flag! No, the band in the movie was WASP an 80's heavy metal band.Black Flag was a punk band and Henry Rollins was the lead singer.I love this movie and I own it on vhs, I had the poster when I was younger.Did anyone recognize satan in the movie, none other than Bull from the 80's t.v. show night court!This movie is one of the best of the worst movies I have ever seen.

My review of 'Ragewar' ('The Dungeonmaster') pretty much follows everyone else's: Yes it's a piece of crap, but viewing it at the age of 13 (I'm pretty sure it came out in England before the U.S.A., as did 'Swordkill' ('Ghost Warrior') and 'The Alchemist') I thought it was an undiscovered classic, up there with the Hollywood greats: inescapable proof that teenagers are twats.

FOR PEOPLE LOOKING FOR THIS TITLE IN THE U.K. IT WAS RENAMED RAGEWAR .IF SOME ONE COULD TELL ME WY JUST OUT OF INTREST.

[Dungeon Master]

Fools. I will destroy you all. As long as you're not armed with bad one-liners and wrist lasers.

KEVIN - The film was called 'Ragewar' in the UK 'coz that was the film's original title, and it was actually released in the UK before being re-named and slightly re-cut for the US market. The US version is missing the pre-credit dream sequence that the EIV version contains, and I think a couple of Mestema's lines have also been left out when he first appears near the start of the film. However, the US 'Dungeonmaster' also has a longer version of Mestema's 'cat torturing' speech. I can only think that this speech was largely cut out of the UK version 'coz they think British kids are more likely to go out and torture our feline friends, having been encouraged by Mestema to do so...

What just happened? To get that movie out of my memory I'm gonna Get drunk, AND smoke pot, AND snort crack, AND watch girl-on-girl porn. If that doesn't work I'll take some pills and hit my head with a bat.
