Ator l'invincibile 2 (released in English-speaking countries as The Blade Master, Ator, the Blade Master, Cave Dwellers, and The Return) is an Italian film that was made in 1984.The movie was written and directed by Joe D'Amato. It stars Miles O'Keeffe as Ator, a man skilled in not only fighting, but in many other arts as well. It also stars Charles Borromel as Akronas, a wise ruler and teacher who is also called the Great One. Lisa Foster stars as Mila, the daughter of Akronas, and David Brandon as Zor — the principal villain of the film. The film was released in theaters as Ator the Invincible and later as Ator, the Blade Master. It received the name Cave Dwellers after it was re-edited by distributor Film Ventures International. It is the sequel to 1982's Ator l'invincible (with the English title Ator, the Fighting Eagle), which received the RiffTrax treatment in 2017 and appeared on MST3k itself in 2018.note The show likely skipped the original film the first time around due to highly uncomfortable material like Ator's romantic feelings towards the woman he thinks is his sister, and an Amazon tribe who plan to rape him, which never would have flown on TV in the early '90s. The third film was 1986's Iron Warrior, followed by Questforthe Mighty Sword (which was also released as Troll 3, one of three In Name Only sequels to Troll.) The movies were made to capitalize on the popularity of the Conan movies which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, please go to the episode recap page.Unrelated to the video game. It's one letter away anyway. | |

Trivial Title | |
The Blade Master / int_2b80abf4 | comment |
Trivial Title: For Cave Dwellers. The actual cave dwellers are shown very briefly in the movie. The rest of the plot revolves around a journey made by a character named Ator to save his former mentor from the bad guy. The scene with the cave people is just a brief detour. It's worth mentioning that it was originally Ator l'invincible 2 (Ator the Invincible 2, also released in the US as Ator, the Blade Master or The Return). Cave Dwellers is just the title that Venture Films International slapped on it when they got the distribution rights. Of course, since the VFI version was the one featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's the most famous one. | |

Previously on…: The movie shows a recap of the first. As low budget as it was, it also painfully points out how the first movie had a better budget than this one. Worse, nothing in the first film has a bearing on the second film, so the recap is essentially useless padding. | |

The Blade Master / int_3c5ae1a1 | comment |
Schizo Tech: A Conan The Barbarian ripoff with gliders and atomic bombs. While building a glider is not too out of place, the fact it uses what looks like tanned leather and parachute silk, and possibly forged metal components on a pretty sophisticated wood frame, makes it a little hard to believe Ator could have whipped it up in 5 minutes. He could have built it sometime before and hidden it, but if so that should have been made clear. Nukes, on the other hand... | |

Faux Action Girl: Mila. Sure, she's a strong-willed young lady with lots of rebellious spunk. Sure, she has some nominal experience fighting bad guys with swords. Sure, she knows everything her Dad taught her, even did a neat MacGyver job with gunpowder made from cave wall minerals in a test Ator set for her. However, she gets shot with an arrow, becomes a Damsel in Distress with both the cannibal cavepeople AND the snake cult and cowers in the corner like a helpless blob of jello when in the snake pit with Ator. | |

Worthy Opponent: What Zor thinks of Akronas. He punishes his soldiers for hurting Akronas in the process of capturing him on the grounds that mere Mooks aren't worthy to touch such a man, and he later refuses to use torture to get information from Akronas on the grounds that that would ruin their battle of wits. He does eventually lose his patience, though. | |

Happy Ending Override: The entirety of the previous film was Ator's quest to rescue Sunya, his stepsister/wife, and the film ended with them running happily into the distance to start their lives together free of danger. Cue the second movie where a cheap montage says Sunya died (it's not specified when or how) and now Ator is living in a cave away from society. | |

Idiot Ball: The chief of the village spends considerable effort trying to convince his villagers that Ator is wrong. Then when he fails, he suddenly becomes totally supportive of Ator and offers him a drink. Somehow it doesn't occur to Ator that anything might be amiss. (This looks extra stupid if you know that he also accepted a drugged drink from a shady character in the previous movie.) | |

Never My Fault: The aversion of this is discussed. When Sandor's magic fails to stop Ator, Zor gives him a right nasty tongue-lashing for it (and is preparing to give him worse); Akronas points out that Zor, having placed all his reliance upon Sandor's abilities, is as guilty of failure as the wizard. | |

Chekhov's Skill: Played with. Early in the film, Mila proves to Ator that she's the daughter of Akronas by making gunpowder. Instead of Mila herself doing anything useful with the skill (such as helping out in the snake pit with a skull bomb or something), it's Ator, the student of Akronas, who uses gunpowder bombs to distract the cannibals and later against Zor's soldiers. | |

Retcon: Akronas' long-winded recap of the first movie makes Ator out to be considerably more competent than actually depicted in that film, neglecting to mention that the majority of his exploits were only made possible by the help he received from his mentor Griba, "side piece" Roon, and pet bear cub Kiog. If Roon in particular hadn't kept bailing him out, he wouldn't have gotten close to defeating the spider god. | |

Shout-Out: Straight as an arrow flying into the sun. Shout Out or plagiarism? Your call. The ending seems to be a reference to the Whatsit from Kiss Me Deadly. | |

Hypercompetent Sidekick: Thong, who finds the way out of the cave, sniffs out the villagers' trap, and ultimately offs the villain with a throwing knife. | |

The Blade Master / int_cedeae6a | comment |
Wacky Wayside Tribe: The cave dwellers themselves are just an obstacle the heroes stumble into, with no connection to anyone or anything else in the story. Of course, replace "wacky" with "primitive and bloodthirsty." | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
The Blade Master / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Thong waits around for no apparent reason long enough while rescuing Ator from the snake dude's temple that all of the other prisoners are sacrificed to the giant snake. | |

Barbarian Hero | |
The Blade Master / int_de5f028b | comment |
Barbarian Hero: Subverted. Ator looks like a classic barbarian hero, but is much too civilized to actually count as one, and Akronas stops him from killing the defeated Zor by reminding him that he's not a barbarian. | |
