Wilfried le chasseur

My first mst3k episode, and I love it. The acting is terrible, the swords are obviously either plastic or rubber. The title says 'warriors from hell' but I do not recall any menacing looking demons or a single piece of special effects for that matter(And I'm not counting that wizard's teleportation move which was as stupid as it sounded). The lines are very stupid, and I really loathe the wizard's acting especially with his goat wandering rambling. Traxartis for some reason talks like he is out of breath for no apparent reason. The princess is brain gratingly terrible. Mr Relson was the best of the bunch, he acted like a smug bas***d really well. The commentary is great, I love the lines like 'hehe! daughter smart!' and 'I have an idea, shut up!'. And who could forget 'potatoes are what we eat!'

The action is nonexistent, the "Warriors From Hell" never quite get their act together, and the hero is an unlikable prig, but this film does contain a bewitching performance by "Potato Loving Woman" (Claudia Inchaurregui).

Claudia "Potato Loving Woman" Inchaurregui, despite her small role, imbues the film with a sense of heart. Buried beneath inches of grime and muck, wearing a burlap sack and sporting hair that would shame even Dee Snider, "Potato Loving Woman" has a sense of quiet dignity altogether missing in the other female characters in the film, especially the frigid princess played by the Kirstie Ally-eqsue Carla Herd.

So, Claudia Inchaurregui, I don't know where you are now, but know that my life was forever changed when I heard you utter those magical words... "Potatos are what WE eat".

Deathstalker meets twin princesses and goes on a quest for a magic diamond.

Along with the stilted Alfonso Corona's direction, Howard R. Cohen slack at best screenplay lacks logic. Silently produced by Roger Corman, Alejandro Rulfo Israel Torres medieval music borrows from The Raven, Battle Beyond the Stars and Brian Eno's prophecy theme from Dune. With arrow and sword action littered throughout the pacing is more plodding than its predecessors. That said, there's an impressive spectre and undead warriors thrown in for good measure. The exterior locations give it a little depth; but it's very set and stage like throughout.

The third of four Deathstalker movies, hero Deathstalker is replaced again now played by John Allen Nelson (best known for Killer Klowns from Outer Space). Nelson is more cocky than swashbuckling John Terlesky from II, and less Conan-like than Rick Hill in the original. Aarón Hernán hams it up as wizard Nicias, stunning Carla Sands can do no wrong in tone dual role. Terri Treas as Camisarde wrestles impressively with the laughable sparse script. Novel bald on top evil sorcerer Troxartes played by Thom Christopher (Hawk from Buck Rogers) along with the rest of the cast do their best with the clunky sword fights and dialogue.

Overall, a little tamer and less fun than the first two, that said worth watching for the leads.

My review was written in May 1989 after watching the film on Vestron video cassette.

Third edition in Concorde's "Deathstalker" series is a bland, made-in-Mexico affair constituting little more than a title and pretty package for undiscriminating video retailers.

Soap opera thesp John Allen Nelson is miscast in title role, smirking his way through a non-adventure in a mythical medieval land searching for the secret treasure city of Erendor. He accompanies Princess Carissa (Carla Herd) and her big diamond in quest for a matching stone. She's killed and he finds her twin Princess Elezena (also Herd) and eventually to matching gems, for chintzy visual effects when the powerful diamonds are joined.

Herd is upstaged by a pretty Amazonian warrior played by Claudia Inchaurregui, as well as Concorde regular Terri Treas as a villainess with arch dialog readings. Nelson's all-American approach is way out of place and supporting cast is weak. Previous pics in this series had some campy material but this one's a stiff.

I only saw this from Mst3000, and this movie is a perfect candidate. Bad acting, bad effects, stupid story. John Allen Nelson (or relson, your choice) loses his English accent within 5 minutes of this movie, and the guy playing Truxardis is wearing the shortest skirt even worn on a man before. from what I understand there are 4 of these films, I think MST should have done all of them, but hey we'll take this one. Potatoes are what we eat!!
