Ater spending a small fortune for the sets double play feature i find the deathstalker 2 is cut by 8 minutes including the ending from dvd's.for lovers of sorcery,naked women and lots of action these are 2 very good features..deathstalker 2 the one that got hacked to death is a comedy sword and sorcery blu ray that doesn't take itself too serious until the end of the movie.monique gabrielle does a great job of playing a klutz princess trying to get back her throne.if not for the severe hachet job on the blu ray i would have given it 5 stars.
Deathstalker 1 is really Conan the Barbarian but I like it more than the better known version. Lana Clarkson is a believable female warrior worthy to sit beside Deathstalker(Rick Hill) when he claims his kingdom. Bernard Erhard is a plausible Thulsa Doom(Munkar).
Deathstalker 2 is a Conan movie, too. Joviality mixed with seriousness best characterizes this film. There is even a full-blown battle-of-the-sexes between the amazon tribe and the army of the evil sorcerer Jarek as Conan himself, Deathstalker played by John Terlesky this time, battles Jarek mano a mano for the exquisite Princess Reena.
The video quality for both films is very good with full and rich color rendition.
