And, Paul, your post was really funny! I love movies where the protagonist cares for animals so "Beastmaster" appeals to me on that level, too. Great review, Sark! I think I may need to revisit "Beastmaster" again.toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-53833660015620119082011-02-17T19:13:19.974-05:002011-02-17T19:13:19.974-05:00Sorry, Rick, but there is no way Tanya looks as go...Sorry, Rick, but there is no way Tanya looks as good as Marc in his hot warrior outfit. Marc Singer in The Beastmaster is awesome!!

Coscarelli knows how to make entertaining movies--I'm a fan of PHANTASM AND BUBBA HO-TEP as well. Singer is likable as the hero (typically, I'm not one of his fans). As for the beefcake comments made by my fellow Cafe readers, all I can say is that Tanya Roberts provides an equal dose of cheesecake (especially for a PG-13 film). In hindsight, this was probably Tanya's best performance in a film (well, compare it to SHEENA or A VIEW TO A KILL). Coscarelli has great fun with the man-communicating-with-animals premise. I love your post title and contention that the humans are the beast, especially when compared to Dar's loyal, courageous animal friends. You've added some depth to a movie designed just to be fun. That's pretty cool.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-74523579928712866092011-02-17T13:44:46.319-05:002011-02-17T13:44:46.319-05:00Paul, I refuse to answer on the grounds that it ma...Paul, I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may say too much about me!!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-22485322316902777242011-02-17T12:44:17.850-05:002011-02-17T12:44:17.850-05:00Hey sark, Beastmaster was shot in the wilds of Sim...Hey sark, <i>Beastmaster</i> was shot in the wilds of Simi Valley (sort of a joke among SoCal locals). And in certain tight close-ups you can actually see Marc's contact lenses! Which started a popular drinking game while watching the movie - take a drink every time you spot Marc's contacts!<br /><br />And Becks, I think Aki gave us the reason why you really watch this movie....Singer in his "hot warrior outfit", LOL?Paul 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11500682719536011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-32207985211405036822011-02-17T11:12:12.062-05:002011-02-17T11:12:12.062-05:00I love this film, Sark.

I always thought the scene where the bird creatures (for lack of a better word for them) save Dar's life. It chilled me when they folded their wings and melted the beings. I have always liked Singer. He is pleasing in all his films. V is my favorite TV mini series. You could have included better photos of Marc in his warrior outfit though. He looks so hot in it!! I agree with Kevin about Holdridge's score. It is a great one and on my iPod. I listened to it this morning before checking out the cafe. A nice review that included interesting facts about the movie. Enjoyed reading it!!Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037507780056714337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-50640406357864951502011-02-17T10:29:00.208-05:002011-02-17T10:29:00.208-05:00I remember sometime in the 1980s Dennis Miller sai...I remember sometime in the 1980s Dennis Miller said HBO stood for "Hey Beastmaster's On" due to its seemingly every other day run on the new network. <br /><br />I like this one too, though it does go on a bit too long.

They LOVED it. Marc Singer is not usually someone I feel is a good actor, but he did a great job in Beastmaster. I'm goign to haev to get the boys over (who are now in their 30's!) and have a Beastmaster movie night for old times sake! Very good review, Sark.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-90187711355892184942011-02-17T06:41:15.833-05:002011-02-17T06:41:15.833-05:00Good blog and offering niche film reviewsGood blog and offering niche film reviewsHollywood Film Newshttp://hollywoodyaan.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
