Similiarly to the Highlander series, the Beastmaster series had one great film, one terrible sequel that involved time travel that buggered up the whole mythos of the first film and a third installment that tried to erase the memory of the first sequel by totally ignoring it and proclaiming itself a true sequel. This is a decent attempt at a film that should have been made years earlier, although it's budget does let it down somewhat. Marc Singer could have used a more dignified outfit, he looks entirely too old running round in a leather codpiece, whilst Casper Van Dien looks smug as always as the fake-hairpiece wearing king.
