Deathstalker (1983)

Oily bodybuilders and Playboy-models makes for a trashy and rapey Conan-ripoff - with a cool score. It is the kind of movie where the “hero” saves a woman from rape, so far so good, but the obvious reward for that good deed is that he gets to have sex with the woman. Consent seems optional. This is all kinds of terrible, misogynistic borderline soft-core porn, yet I also kind of amazed that this even exists, so the enjoyment comes from the comedic effect of how utterly over the top everything is.


Rating: 2.5
