The Beastmaster | Year: 1982 Classification: Action/Adventure Directed: - Don Coscarelli Actors/Actresses: - Marc Singer - Tanya Roberts ON DVD AT LAST This is very good movie and much better than typical swordtype movies. Marc Singer is very good..then again when isn't he good. He is in incredible shape and handles the stunts well. The camera work is outstanding and the locations are beautiful. The only weak point in the movie is Tanya Roberts' acting. She is much better these days on her sitcom, "That 70s Show". The BeastMaster is very different that the two sequels that followed. This movie is more of an epic while #2 was camp and forgettable and #3 was shot like an episode of Xena. Get this and you will find out why so many people love The BeastMaster and Marc Singer. Praise all that is Holy...finally the Beastmaster on DVD I have to admit that I leapt for joy when I discovered this gem had finally been released on DVD. I don't think it was ever sold in VHS come to think of it. A CRIME I tell ye! Pure snobbery. You won't find a more entertaining example of Sword and Sorcery. You have Rip Torn, That fellow from "V" (purists are now howling for my blood...Mark Singer, now back you savages), Monster Men in Spiked S+M gear, Monsters that squish you into a nast green pudding, and did I mention Rip Torn. Heck there's even a topless Tanya Roberts (My whole life I thought I was seeing more...but the high quality DVD has illuminated me to the fact that she's wearing medieval panties...Yet another dear childhood memory tarnished) Anyway, this movie is well worth the price and if you haven't seen it...please for your own sake...but it at once. The first and best Beastmaster - finally on DVD :) Anchor Bay looks like they are really going to get it right on this DVD - I must admit that I had fully expected this movie to be released with no features, audio problems, Pan-and_Scan, ect... but it looks like I'm going to be proven wrong. I obviously have not seen this DVD yet since it has not been released, but features like DTS sound, commentary, and a ... price SHOULD make this a great title to have. I read somewhere that the DVD would also contain deleted scenes (including Tanya Roberts), but I didn't see them in the 'details' so I'm not sure if they made it to the final release. Whenever I watch The Beastmaster I always get the feeling that director Don Coscarelli really cared about what he was doing, rather than just creating another bad action movie to pay the bills. The Beatmaster could have been an awful film in the hands of another director, but somewhere in production Coscarelli crafted this film into much more than just another B-movie. Yes, the Beastmaster does have a few 'really bad acting moments', but it also has other moments that show how much effort was put into it's creation - looks like some that effort is going to rub off on the DVD. I can't wait to see this with DTS and widescreen...
