Deathstalker still looks like it had a great budget. The look and feel is every bit as good as Conan The Barbarian, but because it was made in Argentina the story line and characters just have that "foreign" feel to them. It's like watching an Italian horror movie made by Lucio Fulci. It has a totally different feel to it that an American film. Still, it was enjoyable.
Deathstalker II didn't have the budget and they reused some footage from the first film, but they added the comedy element. All sorts of sexual jokes. "Is that your sword or are you just happy to see me?" kinds of things. Very, very cheesy but in a typical 80's way which made it also very fun for me.
I still have to watch part III and IV. I haven't seen those since they were released and have very little memory of them. I'd re-watched the first two films in the last 5 years so they were a little fresher in my head but it had been long enough that it was time to re-watch them. But yeah, I still enjoyed them and will probably watch them again in a couple more years.
