Quick Links What Was The Beastmaster About? How Does Kraven the Hunter Relate to The Beastmaster?

The following contains spoilers for Kraven the Hunter, now playing in theaters.

With J.C. Chandor's Kraven the Hunter and other Sony Marvel movies, many expect homages to the Spider-Man films, or the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general. However, Kraven the Hunter draws energy from another surprising franchise:The Beastmaster, which began in the 1980s.

This medieval-mystical fantasy story didn't do big numbers at the box office, nor did it win over critics. But as the decades passed, the franchise developed a cult following. Coincidentally, Aaron Johnson-Taylor's Kraven has abilities very similar to the protagonist from that property. Not to mention, his mission and overall ethos have parallels to what The Beastmaster presented.

Demi Moore Could've Starred In A Cult Classic Fantasy Film – But Wasn't Hired For A Ridiculous Reason

Demi Moore moved around a lot in her childhood, and her life wasn't wholly rosy. As she's described it, Moore frequently relocated around the U.S., struggling with her mother and her stepfathers, and often finding herself malnourished. When she was 16, Moore dropped out of high school and took a job as a receptionist at 20th Century Fox. She signed a modest modeling contract and was making ends meet. Her next door neighbor was, it turned out, Nastassja Kinski, and the German actor encouraged Moore to take acting classes. She continued to model while working her way into films, making her debut in the 1981 movie "Choices." The following year, Moore appeared in the 3-D monster movie "Parasite."

These were the first two steps in a career that experienced a massive upward trajectory. By 1984, Moore was already playing lead characters in major studio productions.
