The Beastmaster (Special Edition)
The script is formulaic, however the protagonists are so enjoyable as played by Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts, John Amos and Rip Torn, that the film is a magical, mystical carpet ride to end all carpet rides. Marc Singer and Tanya Roberts are definitely top rate in the eye candy stakes, and lets not forget the ferrets.What a great action movie, it is as enjoyable as when I saw it on the big screen when it 1st came out.

Fun 80's fantasy film.
The Beastmaster was a great film its sort of like a Conan The Barbarian ripoff so if you liked that film then your going to love this, I just saw this film more recently and heard alot of great things about it The Beastmaster also has earned some cult status and is popular on cable. I was definitely not disappointed by this film it also happens to be a huge cult classic and was directed by one of my favorite directors Don Coscarelli who also made the Phantasm series its also one of those movies that can be watched many times without being bored cause there is never a dull moment. So the film might be very silly and cheesy at times but then again who cares since this is an epic fantasy/adventure film, in my opinion I thought that the dialogue was pretty good and it fits with the rest of the film which happens to be about witchcraft and sorcery and stuff like that it also has alot of bizarre and wonderful creatures like the bat people and some hideous witches and not to mention the special fx were pretty good especially for that time during the early 80's even though some scenes did look abit outdated. The story is about a muscle-bound warrior named Dar played by Marc Singer who has the power to communicate with the animals, when his village is attacked under the order of the evil priest Maax played by Ripp Torn (who was so over the top and cheesy as hell you gotta love it) everyone he cares for is killed so he heads out on a quest for revenge. Along his journey he gathers some animals to help him out and meets a slave girl Kiri (Tania Roberts who provides some nice eye candy ;-)) who was trying to escape from her capture at the hands of the evil priest, he also meets a couple of friends the sword fight were fantastic and it also includes a very cool battle scene where the fighters are surrounded by fire check it out, this scene was stylishly shot almost like an 80's music video. Anyway if you want to see some fun and excitement and if you like Conan The Barbarian then watch this now!.

Andre Norton
Perhaps I overlooked this fact elsewhere, but the inspiration for this movie came from Andre Norton's novel of the the same name. It amazes me that more of her plots have not been movie scripts. She wrote well over 100 S-F and fantasy novels, including her "Witch World" series. Fine writer=fine movie.

A good epic-fantasy film
it's good to see a film that makes us remember when we were kids... i'm glad to have it in my collection... I wasn't aware that the film was edited from the original version... but it's ok
