 Yeah!!! Deathstalker 2, The Greatest Movie Ever Made, as I like to describe it! Awrite, youse lunkheads, I don't know where in the hell you're coming from with your little "Deathstalker II Syndrome" crap! This movie rocks. Let's face it, it was shot in probably five days, with something like a $10,000 budget, and everyone who worked on it had a blast doing it before heading over to Jim Wynorski's pad for a couple of half-barrels! When compared to its predecessor, this movie's entertainment value rockets straight through the stratosphere! Yeah, it's dumb, but it is NOT BORING, boring being the true definition of bad. The first Deathstalker was a snoozefest that took itself waaayyy too seriously to even pretend to entertain. DS 2, however, is full of fun, corny as it may be! Let's face it; any movie with the balls to start out with the villainess spouting, "I'll have my revenge, and Deathstalker, too!" and then proudly displaying the title "Deathstalker II" with the goofy Morricone-esque theme playing triumphantly behind it deserves credit. This film is packed end-to-end with this kind of silliness, which makes it a damn fun evening's viewing; midget abuse, styrofoam sets, fluorescent lighting in medieval locations, bright colors, extensive nudity (by former Penthouse Pet Monique Gabrielle-WOO! Her acting's all in her eyebrows. Watch 'em whenever she has more than a word or two of dialogue!) and heroics in the grandest tradition of Errol Flynn... well, John Terleski gives it the old college try, anyway! Cap the flick off with various hilarious out-takes over the end credits and you've attained the pinnacle of cinematic glory! See it tonight!!! Highest possible recommendation! Two Thumbs Up! Make sure your fridge is stocked with plenty of MGD!
