I do like the fact that despite some comedic moments, this isn't as goofy and joke driven as part 2. The original Deathstalker is still the best, a no nonsense son of a bitch who killed a bunch of would be rapists not to save the girl, but just because he didn't want sloppy seconds. He had no sense of humor and just liked to fuck and kill. The gradual pussification of Deathstalker through the sequels really takes away from what made the original so fun in the first place. Having said that, this is a perfectly serviceable high fantasy film and doesn't really deserve the hate it gets. I've seen much worse, especially from the Italian side of sword and sandal flicks. I wouldn't want to sit through it again, but could have it on in the background while doing other things.
