Which Deathstalker Movie did you like best?

[Kester Pelagius]

Someone refresh my memory: the first Deathstalker film was the one where some poor henchman got turned into a hottie by the resident evil sorcerer, right?  That's about all I've got...

Sounds about right.  Though the tatoo on the sorcerer's head is probably the most memorable thing about him, after the transforming the henchman in a wench.

If you're going to embark on a sword-and-sorcery buying spree beginning with the Deathstalker movies then you'll need a checklist of similar 80s movies to round our your library.  Here are my suggestions:

Deathstalker I - IV
Barbarian Queen I & II
Amazons (1986) <- Not to be confused with War Goddess AKA The Amazons (1974)
Sorceress (1984) <- Not on DVD AFAIK so if you see it buy it.
Warrior and the Sorceress
Warrior Queen (Starring Sybill Danning, no idea if this is out on DVD or not)

Enjoy!

Thanks for the list -- I need to get started on those soon!

"Or was that the (unofficial) fifth movie in the series?  (The flick was supposed to essentially be a remake of the original Deathstalker that used a LOT of the stock footage from it, but I can't recall it's name at the moment.)"

The remake is called - Barbarian: The last great warrior king. Its borrows entire scenes from Deathstalker (i.e the whole mud fighting orgy scene) but it is pretty funny to watch, despite the awful dubbing. I've got it on DVD and I always enjoy it after a couple of beers...

My favorite Deathstalker is the original. Rick Hill is a legend!

That scenes does seem to pop up in most, if not all, the Deathstalker movies doesn't it.  Not that I'm complaining.

A man after my own heart!! It would be rude to even think about complaining about that scene!!! 

As far as I know it's in -

Deathstalker 1, DS2, Barbarian (2003) and possibly DS 4 (although I havent seen it for a while so I could be wrong) and I'm sure a loads of others!
