Should you see it? Yes.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

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.
Should you see it? Yes.
