The Beastmaster, Red Sonja, Dragonslayer, LadyHawke, Willow, Conan, Legend… the 80’s really were the decade for fantasy!
Don't leave out the He-Man and She-Ra cartoons!
There were 2 Conan films with Arnold Schwarzenegger....Conan The Barbarian (1982) & Conan The Destroyer (1984).
There was supposed to be a 3rd Conan film in the 80s based on Robert E. Howard Conan's novel 'The Hour of the Dragon' but due to Arnold becoming a popular rising action star and the Dino DeLaurentiis company going to bankruptcy, it never materialized BUT Raffaella De Laurentiis (daughter of Dino) kept the film rights to Conan & of Robert E. Howard's other characters. She later would produce 'Kull the Conqueror' in 1997 (with Kevin Sorbo from the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys TV series as Kull), which used elements from the 3rd Conan spec script as well as elements from the Kull story 'By This Axe I Rule' and the Conan story 'The Phoenix on the Sword'. Sadly that movie flopped at the box office (but has since also become a cult favorite among fans of the Conan & Kull characters). ✌️
You can’t do Sword & Sorcery without watching Krull. Another ‘80s gem!
Have you seen Ladyhawk? Is it any good?
Oh... you mean this Krull? czcams.com/video/PVy6bubmm8Y/video.html
@@LeviAckerman-cb5jithey already reacted to krull a long time ago 😂
Ladyhawke is fantastic! Pure fantasy and sorcery and an epic Love story.
Ladyhawk is an incredible movie ruined by a horrible score.
R.I.P Tanya, we love you !...
Those eyes were so haunting! Such a superstar.
@@Smokie_666, She was gorgeous. I liked her better as a redhead then as a blond.
@@phil-1115 Indeed!
"Conan has sorcery?"
Like in EVERY Conan movie.
Quit being so insecure my movies. I'm old and on decent shape. And I have a poster of the jot lady that was the mom of the 70s show..Tanya Robert's. R.I.P. dar was awesome the black guy awesome. Dad in comming to America. John amos Frigging love this stupid movie. . . WATCH SWORD and sorcery. With bull from nightcourt. And tallen that ended up in a star trek episode. I hate looking things up. Sorry I Richard mull. (Bull) I hate cheating. Sword and sorcerer also has Richard lynch best d class actor ever. The go to of every 80s movie ever.
In the 80s HBO showed this movie so much that people started saying HBO stood for "Hey, Beastmaster's On"
TBS as well.
@@Jaslath
TBS
THE
BEASTMASTER STATION
😂😂 facts!!
It's almost like you made this comment before watching the video...
I'll see your Conan, and raise you RED SONJA!!!!!!!
I see your Red Sonja and raise you "LADYHAWKE" and throw in "WILLOW" as a bonus.
The Golden Age of cinematic sword and sorcery fantasy adventure, the 1980s!
This was one of my favorites growing up
Don't forget the Barbarian Brothers! I always fantasized as a kid that the Beast Master, Conan, and The Barbarian Brothers lived in the same time period. I always hoped for an epic cross-over. 😃
It really was. Conan the Barbarian, The Beastmaster, Excalibur, Dragonslayer (Vermithrax is still my favourite film dragon...sorry Smaug), Hawk the Slayer & Krull (oh & The Sword and the Sorcerer starring Matt Houston). Some were great, some were good and some were (just) ok...but they were all enjoyable. 🥰
1980's also golden age of sci-fi genre and slasher horror genre
Including the He-Man and She-Ra cartoons and merchandise!
Ahhh Beastmaster.... straight from my childhood. It was one the the fantasy movies I watched all the time, Beastmaster, Conan 1 & 2, Excalibur, Dragonslayer, Clash of the Titans and the 3 Haryhousen Sinbad movies. :)
They failed to mention that this flick is by the creator of Phantasm (another cult classic flick).
All 5 Phantasm films are entertaining. RIP Angus Scrimm (aka The Tall Man)...
There is a movie that perfectly fits this month’s genre, “The Sword and the Sorcerer” from 1982. I’ve always loved the three-bladed sword in that movie.
Plus, it had Richard Moll as the demon dude.
@@themadprofessor76 gotta love Xuxia!
The only complaint I had as a kid watching that movie was despite the cool sword, the Hero ended up fighting with just a loincloth on for the final battle. A cool armor would've been fine.
Tanya Roberts also played Sheena in the movie by the same name.
Not since that movie have I felt such comradery with a man brushing his teeth with a stick.
She was also one of "Charlie's Angels."
I have owned 7 ferrets throughout my life because of this movie.
They are easy to train and very loyal.
And yes they love to steal stuff.
23:11 "If you can dodge a child, you can dodge a ball!"
lol
🔧 👶
Those "bat things" that gobble people up freaked me out as a kid!
Same! Especially when that goo starts oozing out.
I saw this in the theater with my uncle when I was a kid. The 80s was The height of sword and sorcery movies, it was a great time to be a kid.
Little bit of trivia for the younger folks: Marc Singer is Lori Singer's (Ariel from Footloose) brother.
The first time I saw him in anything else, besides Beastmaster, was Taming of the Shrew. It’s still my favorite version of the play😊
I'm older and didn't know this.
He's also Mike Donovan, from "V."
Marc Singer was the original choice for Connor MacLeod in the 1986 "Highlander" movie. But he was forced to bow out due to scheduling conflicts, so they went with Christopher Lambert. Years later Singer did play an Immortal in the "Highlander" t.v. series in an episode called "Mountain Men" in the first season.
Have met Marc and Adrian. :)
"Is that you!? MacLoooouuuud!?"
Kid of the 80's here loved this movie growing up this was the first movie I saw that made me want to own ferrets.
"It actually didn't do well in the theaters"
"No shit"
😂
The genre either gets you an epic, or enough cheese to keep a Papa John's store stocked for a decade. This comes down on epic. And Tanya Roberts's eyes...man.
This movie seemed to constantly be on The Movie Channel on Saturday afternoons when I was a kid.
And I watched it everytime.
HBO=Hey Beastmaster's On!
@@JnEricsonxIt was on skinemax a lot also.
Marc Singer was famously in V (the original, not the stupid reboot)
There was a weird idea in '80s Sword & Sorcery (and much later on in 300) that men in pre-modern societies were constantly stripped to their underpants.
The board you steer with is called the steer-board or starboard, hence "starboard" side on a boat.
To be fair, 300 was a comic book movie, and in the comic they are ass-out naked through most of it. Director had to wait one more movie before he could have just one butt-naked buff dude through most of the movie.
It wasn't just 80s S&S moviea. Charlton Heston once remarked that for the majority of his movie career he didn't need pants. 😂
I thought it was called a rudder.
Tiller! And you can propel yourself with it if desperate!
Unlike most rudders that came later by being to one side forced the other for use at port for boarding or disembarking hence the port side.
That little boy told that bear to go on and git. And it went on and got.
The hawk/bird people still freak me out today, fantastic scene.
I always thought they were bat people.
I used to just call them the flashers.
I was probably around 8 when I first watched this in the eighties. They gave me nightmares. It was great!
We called them "Schmetterlingsmenschen (butterfly people)".
Always gave me the heebei-jeebies! Nasty eating habits!😮
Witchwoman #3 is Janet Jones. She went on to be in a few more movies like Police Acadamy: Assignment Miami Beach, A League of Their Own and, Oh! BTW! She's married to Wayne Gretsky since 1988.
Saw this on VHS when I was... 6?... Then it disappeared off the face of the earth. I had a few very clear memories about it, but the title was not one of them. 20 years ago thanks to the internet I found it and a DVD-release. Now upgraded to Blu-ray and I also have the brilliant soundtrack. I love this movie.
It played on HBO so much they started calling HBO Hey, Beastmasters On! It played on TBS so much they started calling TBS The Beastmaster Station.
Charlie doing a perfect jump scare.
Especially wearing a gown almost the same color as the robe worn by the priests &witches.....
I thought I was watching Ghost Ship for a moment.
There is nothing quite as fun and adventures as 80's fantasy films
Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time and Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus are good films as well!
The witch in the second one was awesome 😂
I like Part 2 in a so bad it's good kind of way. Wings Hauser is crazed and entertaining as hell, but that 2 hour runtime can be a hard slog in places.
" the whole WORLD
kablooey "
Tanya was one of my favorite 80s girls. Please react to V: The Miniseries, with Marc Singer. I can't believe nobody has reacted to that yet. It was must-watch TV for EVERYBODY in the 80s. Everybody was talking about it, the next day. But most people now, have never even heard of it.
They announced they're going to do V as well🦎🕶️. Can't wait. Looove that 80s darksynth intro music.
@@Dystopia1111Sweet, I'm so there.
Supposedly about the Jews and Nazis, but I think it really is our reptilian overlords fighting off the human resistance.
Krull, Beastmaster, Tron, Ladyhawk. These were the Saturday tv movies I got to watch, over and over and...
Finally! Someone is reacting to this classic!
Also another add-on to that. Marc Singer also Stars the the 1980's TB show V, which they are watching the mini-series of later this week I believe.
Who's watching it?
@@toodlescae They are. Later today in fact.
@@patrickcromwell7554 ok. Thanks. Don't think I've seen anyone react to it yet.
@@toodlescae There was also a remake done much later in the very early 2010's starring: Morena Baccarin (Gotham & Firefly) and Laura Vandervoort (Smallville & Bitten). It only went two seasons (I believe) and it could have been a good series, but it was cancelled after that.
6:00 behold the power of glow stick juice!
Yeah, I never got the guys hanging themselves in the beginning. And Maax looks at the king like, "Ha HA! Don't make me have more of my guys kill themselves at you!"
I would like to suggest you both watch "Hawk the Slayer" and "Fire & Ice". With "Conan the Barbarian" they are the three best Sword & Sorcery flicks.💖
Fire and Ice is the joining of two great artists into an amazing sword and sorcery fever dream. I always thought the hero was modeled after Marc Singer's look here.
If your theme this month is swords and sorcerers, I trust that you're planning to watch 'The Sword And The Sorcerer.' From 1982
Pure spectacular cheese at its finest. I thought it was great when I was a kid I can only imagine watching it again 40+ years later.
@paulwolffart1251 I actually don't remember anything about the movie (haven't seen it since the 80s) except for the name of the movie and the sword. I'm definitely curious to watch it again.
49er fan here,,, I see she's wearing a Dallas Cowboys T-shirt.😂but This is also one of my favorite childhood movies. And also she might want to check out Willow. from the year 1988.
"Conan has sorcery???" Um, yes. In both movies.
Tanya Roberts was Midge on "That '70s Show", as well.
Donna's mom... lol
Charle's Angel, too.
Bond bimbo,too.
Also the lead in Sheena, talking about butt cheeks and other bits!
Beastmaster and the original Clash of the Titans, were two of my fave fantasy movies! I watched them so many times back then!😂 ⚔️🦉
I watched this movie over and over again when I was 9 years old.
I remember Beastmaster II, Crocodile Dundee II and Leather Weapon II were always on in the 90s. My favorite movie that was that was always on was The Wraith with Charlie Sheen. The 13th Warrior is a gem that fits your March Movies.
I remember watching this on laserdisc as a kid back in the 80’s. Always got sad when the ferrets were in danger.
Him: Ready to jump in?!?
Her: Fiiine
I vote for Red Sonya as part of this theme 😊
The intro banter had me ROLLIN. 😂
This is one movie that should've had a toy line, but never got one. When I was a kid, I would put "Beastmaster action figures" on my Christmas list, thinking Santa would bring me some. That, of course, never happened either!
Every teenage boy fell in love with Tanya Roberts after this movie.
Hail Mr & Mrs Movies! I was 8 years old when this came out in Australia & when I saw the cover in my local video store I was immediately drawn to it. I absolutely adored this movie along with all the fantasy movies of the 80's, even the cheesiest of cheese ones. The fluro green leeches forced into the ears torture scene stayed with me for quite some time afterwards as did the bird hawk/eagle people with bat like wings consuming their victims as they struggled inside but loved the originality. Loved Rip Torn as the villain & was not until many moons later I was able to separate the role from the actor. Sill have this on VHS (my awesome mum bought this for me for my 9th birthday) & dvd & you bet i'll be adding this my collection of 4K movies when it's released. Marc Singer in this role & starring in V the 80's sci fi mini series made me think he can do anything & in turn gave me confidence to also think I can also anything especially growing up without a dad. Back then I wished I had a dad like him who I thought would be able to teach me to control any fears & head adversity head on like being the man of the house checking on noises outside instead of mum being in danger & even though I was petrified I would think what would The Beastmaster do & knew he'd approve of me being courageous rather than being gripped by fear. Just a side note I do enjoy your posts on FNT, the Real BBC & Open Bar (if not mistaken) especially when a comment is made about reactors as you usually have an amusing reply. Always look forward to both your reactions & many more in the future. Have an awesome day/evening 👍
Used to watch this all the time as a kid as well. Awesome! Thanks for reacting to it.
Haha! That appearance of ya’lls lil one was so unexpected and sweet. As a father, I immediately felt it. Poor baby! ❤
0:40 ive been recommending this for years. Glad you finally got around to it. Look up Starman & Enemy Mines while you're at it. The Last Starfighter too. Beastmaster is a classic. Just the 1st though.
Hercules with lou ferigno would be a nice touch
This movie was on so much when I grew up I felt like Kodo and Podo were my own pets. And of course we have to mention the late Tania Roberts...such a huge loss.
YESSS ⚔ and sorcery ✨ what a great theme for this month .
I will now always think of TBS as The Beastmaster Station LOL !!
This is campy of course but it is a fun romp through a fantasy world .
Marc Singer was also in V the original series and Tanya Roberts was a such a beauty here .
looking forward to whatever else is coming this month .
Conan yes most definitely .
FUN FACT... Mr. T actually Auditioned for the role that the much more experienced actor John Amos played... Luckily for us, missing out on BEASTMASTER got Mr. T into The A Team!
You should watch Tanya Roberts in ..Sheena: Queen of the Jungle, 1984, it's in the same genre as this film...
That's more in the Tarzan and George of the Jungle category imo.
She's also a beastmaster and there is sorcery, but it is set in our world in modern times.
As someone who enjoyed both V and Beastmaster immensely as a child i always expected Marc Singer's career to really take off at some point. I was kind of disappointed it didnt
Coscarelli sure has an eye for wacky ideas. You guys should check out his Phantasm films, Bubba Ho Tep or John Dies at the End. Bizarre stuff. Hey, wait a minute! That's the guy from Halloween III: Season of the Witch. The dad who gets locked in the "test room" with his family.
46:30 You're so captivated by the film that you didn't even notice her LOL
I'm my opinion best movie ever for this time setting period. Every! It's so good from dust to animals to locations to mythology to gorgeous damsel to story, dialogue, weapons, cloth it's just so so takes you there
The blind king acting was paid with beans he delivered dialogue like a peasant old man than a king once was
Loved Beastmaster, everyone use to rent it from the video store all the time in the early 80's. They had a couple of copies and we were always excited if they had it available when our parents took us to the video store. There were battles at school between who wanted play Conan vs who wanted play Beastmaster. I wanted to marry Red Sonja!
One of my all time favorite movies as a kid. Even watching it now brings back so many memories of the time
You can teach your dog to talk with buttons. I've seen dogs even talk about what they dreamed.
I love how your daughter sneaking in made you jump LOL. It was like a special jump scare thrown into the reaction LOL. 😂
Wierd coincidence: Rip Torn Kills Zed and later played a character named Zed in 'Men in Black'
Sad fact about the movie: the tiger who got painted black for the movie actually was licking its fur (as cats do) constantly and thus was licking off the paint during shooting. The tiger sadly later died apparently in big part due to the negative effects of him licking the toxic paint off its fur constantly.
Swords and Sorcery month sounds like a fantastic theme! I think 1988's Willow with Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer would be an excellent addition to the month's line-up! Thanks for the great content as always.
I used to live in Hesperia, California and that snowy landscape of the mountain that they showed was in my view from our town.
Yes, that sequel had the lovely Kari Wuhrer, who hadn’t yet learned to act, and the delightful Sarah Douglas.
When you're watching the classic sci-fi miniseries "V" and everyone in your household refers to it as that movie where the beastmaster fights the lizard people
Let's not forget Dragonslayer. Though that's mostly sorcery.
I watched this movie at least twenty times as a kid. I like how the used lion sounds for the tiger. I used to have a ferret. It's true that they steal things.
Got to love that 80’s movie action music
It’s Scratch from Baldur’s Gate 3! Hims a very good boy.
Yup.
I have always loved this movie and its first sequel. I was always scared as a kid of the Bat People. When his dog Coto died, I usually cried. But to this day, it is a favorite of mine. Plus, Don Cascorally who created the Phantasm films created this as well.
So Tonya Roberts played Sheena where she was raised by an African medicine woman to become a Tarzan type of character. Like Tarzan her origin was from pulp comics and novels of high adventure. She communicated with animals. She rides a "Zebra" which was actually a black horse with white stripes painted on it. Or a white horse with black stripes. I can't quite remember. That would be a fun watch
I love how they just spray painted the tiger black. It reminds me of the pictures I saw of a Chinese petting zoo where they sprayed black stripes on a white donkey to make a "zebra".
Finally, someone else who loves beastmaster 2, I love it. I have the ending song on my ipod. I just bought the 3 DVD set of beastmaster 1, 2 and 3 last yr, just to get beastmaster 2. 😊
Beastmaster 2 is a good movie, not as good as the original but good!
Red Sonja is an interesting take on a Conan like story, except the main protagonist is Brigitte Nielsen, in her debut role, with Sandahl Bergman (Valeria in Conan,) as the antagonist, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as supporting protagonist. It also has Paul Smith (Raban in Lynch Dune,) Ronald Lacey (Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark,) and Ernie Reyes Jr. (Tai in The Last Dragon.)
Another movie, considered a bit campy, that has Tanya Roberts in it, is Sheena 84’. It’s a fun take on a female Beast Master.
I remember digging this one as a kid. It kind of stood out among the sword and sorcery genre that was oh so popular during this era:)
I think your daughter has a great future in Japanese horror films!
I watched this a million times growing up. A real classic.
Krull & Red Sonja will fit your Sword & Sorcery theme.
The producers REALLY wanted a black panther. The tiger was a constant struggle as it was. In the final scene it was literally chained to the rocks and heavily sedated. The trainers did NOT want to do the scene with the tiger/ferret kiss. Luckily no one got ate.
A cult movie has a cult following. This was more of a "Sleeper", as it didn't do well in the theater but gained wide fanfare in syndication.
There was also a TV series.
Yeah, tragically the "black panther" was the one who "never worked in Hollywood again" after this movie.
I’m glad you did The Beastmaster. Recorded off of HBO and was heavy in the rotation. This movie had everything
Love watching your "killing arms" as you experience The Beastmaster for the first time. LOL
I vividly remember this film growing up. I always thought it was badass. Good to know I wasn’t alone.
I knew someone who worked as a sales rep for HBO in the days when even the employees called it, "Hey, beast master's on!" 😏
Those creatures that gave you the good-succ-hug terrified me as a child. I'm 36 and they still make me uneasy.
Saw this masterpiece at the drive in theatre with my parents during its original release.
Tanya Roberts starred in one of the greatest movies ever put to film, "Sheena". If you haven't seen it I highly suggest it.
Christ on a bike, I've not seen this since it came out when I was ELEVEN. It really came in handy having an older brother who was a projectionist in a local cinema at the time! I thought this was amazing until I saw Conan the Barbarian... which is a different league of brilliant and the sound track is truly fantastic still. Looking forward to the Conan reaction now!
During the 90s TNT played "Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time" every weekend.
If it hasn't already been mentioned, it was reported that the tiger actually died from toxic shock due to the black dye applied to its fur.
Mr. Movies aint lying. I swear that the movie was always on. Big time, Nostalgia.
Growing up in the 80's I had this on VHS
What a good mom❤
I'm pretty sure I was sick, home from school and my mom rented Beastmaster 2 for me. It's still a favorite.
