The Beastmaster (1982)
What can I say about this gem? We have Marc Singer from the old TV show V if anyone remembers that as a taller more athletic Mark Hamill warrior who can talk to animals and Tanya Roberts and her magnificent breasts who most people would recognize from That 70s Show.The movie feels like a mix of the Conan movie and the He Man cartoon but somehow even crazier and more over the top.
I remember catching this on TNT as a kid and loved every minute of how unapologetically straight the characters are played.It may not be a perfect movie, but it’s one of those classic fantasy films that gets forgotten but that’s just as entertaining the whole way through and has character charm that makes up for how low budget it feels today.
Plus there's a sequel where he gets teleported to 80s Los Angeles but that's a whole other should we have? Probably not. But we did anyways thing
