In Deathstalker II, the legendary swordsman (John Terlesky) finds his battle isn't over yet as he must save the kingdom from the iron grip of the tyrannical Jarek and the seductive Sultana. Together they have ruled the land by creating an evil doppelganger of the lovely Princess Evie (Monique Gabrielle). Enlisted into the service of the real Princess Evie, our courageous hero must now return her to her rightful place of power… but can even the dynamic Deathstalker defeat Jarek? (101 Films)

One of the many B-grade sword and sorcery films of the 80s, but one that (unlike the first Deathstalker) doesn't take itself seriously at all. Well-known B-movie maker Jim Wynorski obviously realized the very limited possibilities of an extremely low budget, so he took it all in stride with humor and an attempt to make the silliest and most absurd film possible. Thus, the poor acting and shoddy production design (which only remotely resembles Boris Vallejo's eye-catching posters) play into his hands, and the result is an entertaining romp that quite successfully parodies many genre clichés.
