Anyone else ever watch these movies? MST3K fans may recall that the third movie in the series was shown in season 7 of MST3K. Unfortunately, I have yet to see that episode and because the movie rights for films shown on MST3K tended to go up after appearing on the series, the owners of the rest of the series were too cheap to put part 3 out.
However, I own all the rest of the series on DVD (I think it cost less than $20 to buy all three about 5 years ago or so). Part 2 is definitely my favorite and features a smoking Monique Gabrielle. It also has a plotline you can almost follow compared to the other installments in the series, which tend to cause me anyway to get lost in the boobtastic nature of the films and meaningless violence.

The Deathstalker series is great. The first one is a great gritty Conan rip off. The second one is tong in cheek and doesn't take anything seriously. The third one is pure crap but its still some how entertaining too. Anyway I'm always up for a good sword and sandal flick.

Yeah, you described the second one perfectly, which is why I think I like that one so much. Rick Hill (the star of the first and fourth one) seems to be too straight in the role, while the second film's star John Terlesky seems to play around with the humor of the movie. The second one even has a joke in it that kind of breaks the fourth wall at the end (Princess: Some day our adventures will be reenacted by the world's finest players, Deathstalker: Well they better get somebody good looking to play me.) All in all though, the whole series seems like a fun ride for fans of b-movies. |

Joe Bob Briggs actually got me into the series when he showed the first two on a Drive In Double Feature on the Movie Channel back in the day. |

Seen the series around but never watched them.
The only trivia I know about them is that Lana Clarkson starred in the first movie. She's the actress that Phil Spector was convicted of killing back in 2003.

My mom thought the guy who played Deathstalker in the Mst3k episode was hot.
I'd rather just laugh about potatoes and Pearl Forrester yelling at Clayton on her hospital bed.
