''Ator l'invincibile 2'' (released in English-speaking countries as ''[[The Blade Master]]'', ''Ator, the Blade Master'', ''Cave Dwellers'', and ''The Return'') is an Italian film that was made in 1984. The movie was written and directed by Joe d'Amato. It stars Miles O'Keeffe as Ator, a man skilled in not only fighting, but in many other arts as well. It also stars Charles Borromel as Akronas, a wise ruler and teacher who is also called the Great One. Lisa Foster stars as Mila, the daughter of Akronas, and David Brandon as Zor - the principal villain of the film. The film was released in theaters as ''Ator the Invincible'' and later as ''Ator, the Blade Master''. It received the name ''Cave Dwellers'' after it was re-edited by distributor Film Ventures International. It is the sequel to 1982's ''Ator l'invincible'' and was followed by 1986's ''Iron Warrior''. The fourth film, ''Quest for the Mighty Sword'', was also released as ''Troll 3'', one of two [[In Name Only]] sequels to ''[[Troll 2]]''. The movies were made to [[Follow the Leader|capitalize]] on the popularity of the ''Conan'' movies which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.

* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Nila. Sure, she's a strong-willed young lady with lots of rebellious spunk. Sure, she has some nominal experience fighting bad guys with swords. Sure, she knows everything her Dad taught her, even did a neat [[Mc Guyver]] job with gunpower made from cave wall minerals in a test Ator had for her. However, she gets shot with an arrow, becomes a [[

* [[Porn Stache]]: Zor
* [["Previously On..."]]: The movie shows a recap of the first. As low budget as it was, it also painfully points out how the first movie had a better budget than ''this'' one.
Line 49:
* [[Token Minority]]: Thong
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Ator. [[Fetish Fuel|Delicious barbarian Ator...]]
* [[What the Hell, Townspeople?]]: What looks like a [[Training the Peaceful Villagers]] sequence gets derailed when they drug and capture our heroes. Then the pseudo-Mongols raze the place anyway.
* [[Yellowface]]: Zor is some sort of weird Samurai/Mongol/Hun guy with a cheesy [[Fu Manchu]] moustache, played by a white guy.
