Sword and witchcraft "Made in Corman"
27 June 2019
It is said that the producer Roger Corman was frustrated to not be the one who made the Conan film by John Milius that sought to produce his own film sword and witchcraft, the film would shoot in Argentina, to reduce costs.

Deathstalker would turn out to be a more than fun and entertaining heroic fantasy film, with a curious and charismatic prota, beautiful women, abundance of nudity and bizarre violence in abundance. The play went well and today is considered a cult film.

Said film would come in three more sequels,

This second part, with a different protagonist, is more carefree than the previous one, but keeping the essence of the previous one, beautiful girls, very bad villains, and a total will to entertain the spectator.

It shows his low budget but still there is a good picture, good soundtrack and scenarios that are false but that for some reason work, just everything you see in the film is charming, for that air of hooligan cinema that undoubtedly It covers the entire movie. Living dead, amazingly decent sword fights, a cheeky and braggart protagonist, different from the more serious and intimidating warrior of the previous one, but with the same cynicism.

There is no doubt that if you were and still are a lover of series such as Hercules and Xena, you will like this film and saga, because both series undoubtedly drank from them. The "king of thieves" is a clue.

Thank you.
