Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Bare breasts and brutal violence always seem to present themselves just when audiences might start to focus on the more nonsensical bits. Rated: 6/10 Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Craig B Well, you certainly know what you are going to get from this based on the trailer. Yes, it's absolutely terrible... horrible acting, fight choreography and set design. The only high points are the bevvy of lovely ladies in this film. The best use of this film is as a back drop for a drinking game, requiring taking a drink every time a breast appears. Truly the only way you could enjoy this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Audience Member If you're into campy fun, this movie might be what you're looking for. Don't expect a well thought out serious plot, but do expect fun scenes. The movie stars the late great Lana Clarkson (murdered by Phil Spector) and Playboy beauty Barbi Benton and both show their assets and talent. A fun piece of escapism to watch on a rainy day! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Judson E The whole time i was watching this I wished I was watching the far superior Fire and Ice by Ralph Bakshi which hits similar notes but actually lives up to the cover art. Seriously the characters have 0 personality, the one actor that seemed to show a smidgen of charisma kind of just stood in the background, the characters barely interact. A lot of weird sex scenes to the point it was actually annoying, anytime this thing showed hope of being at least so bad its good, it shoved p*rn in your face and made you question your life choices that lead up to watching this movie. You don't even root for the protagonist because it feels like if he succeeds he might go off and r*p* or k*ll someone if he does I don't recommend it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Chris L Dime store Conan the Barbarian. So much cheese! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Jens B - shiny muscly men fighting and raping - a lot of nudity - so much baby oil - part 3 Jason Vorhees is ripped af (who knew?!) - this film has a problem with women - manbearpig <3 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review Milhouse V The best way to describe this film is if you think back to Boogie Nights with Mark Wahlberg. If the character of Brock Landers were to delve into the fantasy genre, you would pretty much have Deathstalker. This is a Brock Landers fantasy film with all the actual sex removed. There's a lot of action, plenty of cornball lines, and scores of pointless nudity. While none of the aforementioned are necessarily a problem for me, some of the directorial choices in doing so were a bit sketch. For example, we expect Deathstalker to be this hyper-masculine, muscular, warrior who always saves the pretty damsel in distress--and generally as a "reward" they end up in bed together. Buuuuuuuut, Deathstalker seems to take a less "consensual" approach much of the time and starts to delve into sexual assault and rape territory which makes everything much more uncomfortable. That being said, it is relevant to say that I do not consider myself to be uber "woke" or a snowflake by any means so this isn't an "overreaction" to something innocuous. In the words of the immortal Brock Landers, "It's not right. It's not cool. It's just not sexy." Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/22/21 Full Review Read all reviews
