The Beastmaster (1982)
Director: Don Coscarelli
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Rehash of Conan the Barbarian, with another hunk-of-the-month in a leather thong, a crisp smile, and a Buck's Fizz haircut. He also has a posse of animal friends to highlight his existential aloneness: a panther is his strength, an eagle his eyes, and two possums to handle the rest. Sorcery, ham, various hordes and polystyrene sets stalk the land (looks like Apache country), with the routine of swordfights, narrow escapes and ancient prophecies occasionally enlivened by flashes of sicko - a living eyeball ring, fluorescent blood - from the director who brought you the disgusting horror Phantasm.
