The Beastmaster (1982)
Director: Don Coscarelli
Writers: Don Coscarelli, Paul Pepperman
Cast: Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts, Rip Torn, John Amos
Genre: Fantasy Adventure
Marc Singer was not only really good at doing the action scenes, he did the small comedy lines well too, I liked his character and his bond with the animals made the movie for me...It was great to see real animals and not CG creations. I got a kick out of his hawk call!
A topless Tanya Roberts helped as well
You'll just have to watch the movie to see that scene...I'd never seen John Amos in anything other than the TV show Good Times, so I was surprised to see him here, and he's real personable and likeable too. So was Rip Torn, as the evil high priest, a great bad-guy.
Oh and I dug the shooting locations and that pyramid was pretty darn cool, what an impressive set that was. And the big fight with the flaming trench at the end, damn that was very impressive!

"A sword-and-sorcery fantasy about a young man's search for revenge. Armed with supernatural powers, the handsome hero and his animal allies wage war against marauding forces."
Hell yeah! Great fun, I enjoyed it!...I've heard of this movie so many times...it use to play on cable literally everyday when I was a youngster, but somehow I never got around to watching it. Though some of the scenes like the creepy eyeball ring and the mischievous & cute ferrets were familiar to me. So I'm glad to have finally watched this after all these years.
