Deathstalker II (1987)

Gallant and charming master thief Deathstalker (a likable performance by John Terlesky) has to help the sweet Reena the Seer (an endearingly daffy portrayal by foxy blonde knockout Monique Gabrielle) overthrow the heinous duo of nasty wizard Jerak (essayed with lip-smacking relish by John Lazar Z-Man in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls") and his wicked hench wench Sultana (a pleasingly vampy turn by gorgeous brunette stunner Toni Naples), who have made a lovely, but lethal evil twin in the fetching form of Princess Evie (also Gabrielle, who's obviously having a ball being bad). Director Jim Wynorski, working from a cheerfully inane script by Neil Ruttenberg, relates the breezy story at a nonstop zippy pace, maintains an engagingly light and silly tongue-in-cheek tone throughout, stages the copious rough'n'tumble fisticuffs and spirited sword fights with real gusto, and tops everything off with an amusing sense of blithely campy humor.

Deathstalker 1 is ok in my opinion....BUT THIS SEQUEL IS AMAZING IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE.

The prolific director Jim Wynorski knows how to entertain his audience. His movies never pretend to be more than what they are: tongue in cheek B movies that revel in their low budget cheesiness.
