Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Financed by famed low-budget director/producer Roger Corman in response to the popularity of the live-action Conan the Barbarian movie, Deathstalker would inspire three sequels and become the most famous (or is that infamous?) of the many low-budget Conan-ripoff Heroic Fantasy films that were made during The ’80s.The titular Deathstalker (in this film at least) is a typical Barbarian Hero, minus the Hero. In the opening of the film, we see him rescuing a bandit beset by beastmen... only to kill the bandit himself before trying to have his way with the bound Damsel in Distress the bandit was raping a moment earlier. Our hero, ladies and gentlemen!After initially refusing the pleas of the disposed king to slay his former Evil Chancellor, the Evil Sorceror Munkar, and rescue his daughter (who is now a prisoner in Munkar's harem), Deathstalker decides to get involved after being told of the Three Powers Of Creation - magical artifacts that will give the one who holds all three together ultimate power - and that Munkar currently has two of the Powers; the Amulet of Life and the Chalice of Magic.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })After retrieving the Sword of Justice and freeing the cursed guardian Salmaron (who decides to tag along with him), Deathstalker joins forces with two other warriors - Oghris (Our Lancer and Loveable Rogue) and Kaira (an Amazon in half a Fur Bikini), who are on their way to a tournament that Munkar is holding. The prize for the winner, after a series of deathmatches is to become heir to Munkar's empire. Deathstalker must contend with treachery on all sides as he fights to stay alive in the tournament and tries to locate the last two of The Three Powers.This movie is probably the most violent and sexual of the Deathstalker Series. In fact, many fans of Robert E. Howard have noted that this film is closer in tone and content to the original Conan the Barbarian stories than the Conan the Barbarian movie was. Similar comparisons have also been made about this movie and John Norman's Gor books, particularly by fans of the later who are displeased that the Gor movies are surprisingly sex free. There is, however, NO relation to the Deathstalker novel series by Simon R. Green.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The film got mercilessly reviewed on Best of the Worst. | |

| Deathstalker / int_1eb49c19 | comment |
Stripperiffic: Darn near everyone but Munkar and the witch. The harem girls are as scantily clad as one might expect but even the male warriors are wearing leather armor that does more to accent their muscles than protect their flesh. | |

LampshadeHanging | |
| Deathstalker / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: Done by Deathstalker himself, when he hears about Munkar's tournament and the prize of becoming his heir. ("It doesn't sound like much of a prize to me. Inheriting everything from a sorcerer who never dies.") Apparently he was the only one to think logically about exactly what it means to be the heir of a man known as "The Immortal Wizard Munkar". Of course that turns out to be a give away to Munkar's real plan - get all of the warriors capable of defeating him to slaughter one another so he can rule the kingdom unopposed. | |

Fur Bikini: Kaira wears half of one. The bottom half, to be precise. For formal occasions, she wears a leather bra. The rest of the time, she is quite comfortable wearing nothing but a cloak, a loincloth and a scowl. | |
