John Terlesky replaces Rick Hill as the Deathstalker and he doesn't really have the look that Boris Vallejo envisions on the box art for this one. And because Jim Wynorski is directing, you know you're going to get exactly what you expect out of a sword and sorcery Roger Corman movie: breasts, boobs, bazooms and a few beasts. Maybe some blood if you're lucky. And perhaps some more sweater meat.
Princess Evie of Jzafir (Monique Gabrielle, Penthouse Pet of the Year for December 1982) has been taken away from her rightful throne by Jarek (John LaZar, Z-Man from Beyond the Valley of the Dolls!) and Sultana (Toni Naples, who shows up in Chopping Mall and Sorceress) and replaced by a clone.
She takes on the secret identity of Reena the Seer and hires Deathstalker to get her kingdom back. They have plenty of adventures -- yay! -- and maybe even fall in love -- aww! -- before the end of the film.
Look for Queen Kong from GLOW as the Amazon champion Gorgo in a wrestling scene, if you enjoy that sort of thing.
Is Deathstalker II better than the original? No. It's pretty stupid. But isn't that what you're really coming to these movies for? It's definitely entertaining and a great escape from reality, though.
