B-Movie night everyone and this one I got to say is probably the greatest B-movie of all B-movies combined. Basically my brother and I watched Evil Toons (Evil Boobs, which is on TUBI) and granted this was my brother's first time watching the film me my second time which it don't matter because I can always watch the one movie where David Carradine loves a new hanging, though interesting thing he's been into some dark s**t for a long time but hey the jokes write themselves right? Anyway, for reasons why we chose this movie I think it's because of course Red Letter Media but also are new interest in 80's hottie Monique Gabrielle who’s infamous for her bad acting as well as her crazy eyes, though a nice body. Though this is a movie that has a few sequels like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street, Deathstalker 2 is most certainly the only movie I need to watch and have no interest in the other movies.
A legendary swordsman and a princess must defeat the evil sorcerer to reclaim her rightful throne. On their quest they face dangerous obstacles such as the fierce Amazon women.
Granted this is a typical B-Movie with some comedic fun to it though researching the movie as well as B-Movie icon Roger Corman. Basically, around the mid-80's Corman and his massive ego, who just had to make a lot of movies formed a production company called Concorde Pictures and it's where producers could get relatively cheap distribution from Concorde which to sum it up, they make any movies cheaply though we make no promises if anyone is going to see it, though that's just my opinion. So, Roger Corman had (quote unquote) to make several sword and fantasy movies in Argentina in a coproduction deal with a production company in Argentina, of which Deathstalker 2 was the last of Corman's swords and sandals flicks. The funny thing is that Corman was disappointed about not producing Conan the Barbarian and he in his own words claim that he was so upset he was going to copy the same concept of Conan the Barbarian and well that what you call when a man is on a quest to make a rip off to Arnold's many iconic roles that's not Hercules in New York. Monique Gabrielle describes the film, says this was her favorite role, "It was a difficult shoot, in a way, because we were shooting in Argentina and our script had a lot of stunts that couldn't be done with the limitations they had down there. It wasn't safe and there were a lot of problems. I almost dropped into a pot of water, which, luckily wasn't boiling (it was supposed to be). But besides all that, it was really my favorite because I loved the role I played. I got to play dual characters". When you think of the eighties in terms of the it girl with the rock and roll hair and skimpy outfits or those iconic roles with Cindy Morgan or Heather Locklear even Christie Brinkley with the Uptown Girl video by Billy Joel, but really Monique Gabrielle to me is defiantly that underappreciated it girl of the eighties, and even though this is my second serving of her in a movie hence Evil Toons (Evil Boobs) but man, she does have that dream girl factor that I'd wish if I was raised in the eighties because she would most certainly be that woman I would most certainly cheat my wife on. There always those B-Movies where you can be bored at times and check your cell phone every five seconds and some B flicks that has some fun qualities, but the lead is just the worst or a any film Red Letter Media watches and you’re like they can take care of those movies I'll avoid those. But honestly Deathstalker 2 is one of those movies that's just funny to watch because you’re not quite sure as to either there trying to be serious or just having a good time and the lead actor John Terlesky acts like he knows what movie he's in and just has a blast doing it and really tries to act like he's Indiana Jones because there's a lot of elements in the movie where you can see they use a ton of elements from Star Wars and Indiana Jones all together. Moreover the film itself is another one of those movies that you don't need to watch the other films you can just watch those this one and that's all you need, especially when you have a movie that contains bad effects, bad fights as well as bad sound effects but at least you get to see half naked women with a ton of comedic scenes to go along with it. Like the Room, or the Black Scorpion films along with the TV series, Deathstalker 2 is another one of those bad movies it good to watch and yet me and my brother had a great time watching it from start to finish. But most importantly it's a movie that any guy who loves these weird films can have a great time with it and granted I loved watching the Batman TV series from the sixties but in all fairness I'm very picky when it comes to watching these bad it’s so good movies. I've said this many times before Tubi does have those hidden gems that are good to watch as well as free to watch despite being forced to watch ads but hey, there good for bathroom breaks at least, right? So, any movie fan (or fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000) that loves a good comedic bad movie I would highly recommend watching Deathstalker 2.
