{{quote|''This is the most ambitiously bad movie we’ve ever done.''|'''[[
''Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell'' is the third movie in the [[
The plot, such as it is, centers upon the [[Evil Sorceror]] Prince Troxartas and his efforts to acquire several magical stones that will enable him to [[Take Over the World]]. He is also dabbling in [[Black Magic]], which lets him bring warriors he has killed [[Back
Along the way, he gets framed for the murder of the princess, runs into the princess's [[Rich Bitch]] twin sister (who is also Troxartas' betrothed), seduces a potato farmer's [[Hot Amazon]] daughter and - somehow - saves the day.
Line 16:
This is the only one of the Deathstalker films not available commercially on DVD.
For the ''[[

{{tropelist}}
* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: Troxartas seems to be either impersonating Shatner, or hyperventilating.
* [[Affably Evil]]: Troxartas.
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Deathstalker
* [[The Archer]]: The potato farmer and her daughter.
* [[Back
* [[Bald of Evil]]: Troxartas
* [[Bathe Her and Bring Her
{{quote|
* [[Beard of Evil]]: Troxartas' head mook.
* [[Black Cloak]]: Troxartas' mooks.
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: Deathstalker goes off looking for another magical city full of treasure at the end.
* [[City of Gold]]: The treasure the [[MacGuffin]] stones are supposed to be able to find.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: While the above cover artwork is a good Boris Vallejo piece, the [[Barbarian Hero]] doesn't look a thing like Deathstalker in this movie. Nor do any of the heroines resemble the kneeling [[Hot Amazon]]. And we never get to see our hero fighting monsters creeping out of coffins, as we do here.
* [[The Dragon]]: The head mook with the bat helm.
* [[Dull Surprise]]: Carla Herd, as the twin princesses, Carissa (the dead one) and Elizena (the dumb one). She has difficulty conveying any emotion other than annoyance. Luckily for her she spends most of her time having to be around very annoying characters.
* [[Eighties Hair]]: Quite a few people have it.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Fan Disservice]]: During Deathstalker's torture scene - strapped down and wearing nothing but ''distressingly tight pants''.
* [[Hero
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: John Allen Nelson of [[Baywatch]].
** Look for [[Puma Man|Miguel Angel Fuentes]] in a cameo role as one of the Princess' guards.
** And Hawk from ''[[Buck Rogers in
* [[Informed Ability]]: We're told that Deathstalker is a great swordsman and hero but he seems to spend most of the movie getting caught stealing things, sneaking around where he isn't supposed to, running away and getting his ass-kicked. Hell, the only reason he wins the final fight against Troxartas is because his [[Hot Amazon]] sidekick threw him a sword and distracted the evil wizard.
** To be fair, the claims of his always fighting fair are justified. He even refuses to kill Troxartas while he's unarmed {{spoiler|(despite that leading to the death of his girlfriend)}}.
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
* [[Large Ham]]: Troxartas. He may be one of the [[Bad Bad Acting|hammiest villains ever]].
* [[Lovable Rogue]]: Deathstalker tries for this but misses the Lovable part.
** Considering how lousy he is at sneaking around and stealing horses, it's debatable he misses the Rogue part too.
* [[MacGuffin]]: The three stones needed to find the lost city.
* [[Mr. Exposition|Ms Exposition]]: The first twin princess that Deathstalker meets.
