Subject

One of the most popular movies in the genre leading to three sequels and countless imitators.

An international co-production of Argentina and the United States, it was the first in a series of five films about the Deathstalker character and his adventures, and the first of ten films that Roger Corman produced in Argentina during the 1980s.

Remove your blood-soaked bearskin and settle down by the fire as we tell you the tale of a mighty warrior (Richard Hill) tasked to battle the dark forces within a fantastic kingdom. Embarking on a journey to a brutally challenging tournament, Deathstalker seeks its magnificent spoils: the throne of the wicked wizard Munkar, an unstoppable mystical power, and the love of the beautiful Princess Codille (Barbi Benton). But first, Deathstalker must prove himself worthy of his legacy... with danger and treachery lurking at every turn!
