Deathstalker II: Clash of the Titans (1987)

How bad is it? It's one of the worst swords and sandals films.
Should you see it? Yes.

The original film, "Deathstalker," was an over-the-top gratuitously violent film notable mostly for having Barbi Benton in it. This un-asked-for sequel was given an even smaller budget and director Jim Wynorski decided to play it for laughs. Some people absolutely loathe the constant puns and fourth wall jokes ("When people right stories of our exploits, no one will believe we were this stupid!") but I loved it. It's the 1980's version of a Hope-Crosby road movie. I laughed from start to finish. There was another sequel, but it's a dud.
