aka: El Cazador De La Muerte

The warrior Deathstalker (Rick Hill) is tasked by an old witch to obtain and unite the three powers of creation – a chalice, an amulet and a sword – to deny the evil magician Munkar (Bernard Erhard) from using them for himself. After obtaining the sword, Deathstalker joins with other travelers going to a big tournament to determine the strongest warrior. The false king Munkar holds the true princess (Barbi Benton) in captivity and plots to have Deathstalker killed. Also with Lana Clarkson. Roger Corman was an uncredited executive producer.

This film came from a totally uncut German import print in excellent picture quality.

This film was Playboy Playmate Barbi Benton’s last film role and the last time she ever appeared in nude scenes. Afterwards, she only appeared in guest spots on TV shows.
