You can’t do Sword & Sorcery without watching Krull. Another ‘80s gem!

The Beastmaster, Red Sonja, Dragonslayer, LadyHawke, Willow, Conan, Legend… the 80’s really were the decade for fantasy!

I'll see your Conan, and raise you RED SONJA!!!!!!!

"Conan has sorcery?" Like in EVERY Conan movie.

R.I.P Tanya, we love you !...

The Golden Age of cinematic sword and sorcery fantasy adventure, the 1980s!

In the 80s HBO showed this movie so much that people started saying HBO stood for "Hey, Beastmaster's On"

They failed to mention that this flick is by the creator of Phantasm (another cult classic flick).

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. :)

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.

Tanya Roberts also played Sheena in the movie by the same name.

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.

Those "bat things" that gobble people up freaked me out as a kid!

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.

23:11 "If you can dodge a child, you can dodge a ball!"

"It actually didn't do well in the theaters" "No shit" 😂

Little bit of trivia for the younger folks: Marc Singer is Lori Singer's (Ariel from Footloose) brother.

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.

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.

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.

This movie seemed to constantly be on The Movie Channel on Saturday afternoons when I was a kid. And I watched it everytime.

That little boy told that bear to go on and git. And it went on and got.

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.

The hawk/bird people still freak me out today, fantastic scene.

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.

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.

Charlie doing a perfect jump scare. Especially wearing a gown almost the same color as the robe worn by the priests &witches.....

There is nothing quite as fun and adventures as 80's fantasy films

Finally! Someone is reacting to this classic!

Krull, Beastmaster, Tron, Ladyhawk. These were the Saturday tv movies I got to watch, over and over and...

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.

Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time and Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus are good films as well!

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!"

Every teenage boy fell in love with Tanya Roberts after this movie.

The intro banter had me ROLLIN. 😂

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.

"Conan has sorcery???" Um, yes. In both movies.

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.

Haha! That appearance of ya’lls lil one was so unexpected and sweet. As a father, I immediately felt it. Poor baby! ❤

Him: Ready to jump in?!? Her: Fiiine

I remember watching this on laserdisc as a kid back in the 80’s. Always got sad when the ferrets were in danger.

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.

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 👍

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.💖

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!

I love how your daughter sneaking in made you jump LOL. It was like a special jump scare thrown into the reaction LOL. 😂

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.

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.

Tanya Roberts was Midge on "That '70s Show", as well.

46:30 You're so captivated by the film that you didn't even notice her LOL

If your theme this month is swords and sorcerers, I trust that you're planning to watch 'The Sword And The Sorcerer.' From 1982

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.

You can teach your dog to talk with buttons. I've seen dogs even talk about what they dreamed.

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

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 .

Used to watch this all the time as a kid as well. Awesome! Thanks for reacting to it.

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.

I think your daughter has a great future in Japanese horror films!

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!

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.

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

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. 😊

Wierd coincidence: Rip Torn Kills Zed and later played a character named Zed in 'Men in Black'

I used to live in Hesperia, California and that snowy landscape of the mountain that they showed was in my view from our town.

I vote for Red Sonya as part of this theme 😊

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:)

It’s Scratch from Baldur’s Gate 3! Hims a very good boy.

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.

Got to love that 80’s movie action music

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

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

Let's not forget Dragonslayer. Though that's mostly sorcery.

Hercules with lou ferigno would be a nice touch

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.

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!

You should watch Tanya Roberts in ..Sheena: Queen of the Jungle, 1984, it's in the same genre as this film...

Love watching your "killing arms" as you experience The Beastmaster for the first time. LOL

During the 90s TNT played "Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time" every weekend.

What a good mom❤

I watched this a million times growing up. A real classic.

One of my all time favorites. May all of your dreams be sweet Charlie.

I’m glad you did The Beastmaster. Recorded off of HBO and was heavy in the rotation. This movie had everything

Yes, that sequel had the lovely Kari Wuhrer, who hadn’t yet learned to act, and the delightful Sarah Douglas.

Growing up in the 80's I had this on VHS

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 vividly remember this film growing up. I always thought it was badass. Good to know I wasn’t alone.

I never saw Beastmaster, but I have wanted to ever since that episode of Community.

Those Witches would have done well on the dating scene. I love The Dark Corners, Sword & Sandals Reviews. They are hilarious

Krull & Red Sonja will fit your Sword & Sorcery theme.

I'm pretty sure I was sick, home from school and my mom rented Beastmaster 2 for me. It's still a favorite.

Saw this masterpiece at the drive in theatre with my parents during its original release.

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!" 😏

23:26 “I wonder if Dar can dodge a wrench.”

Brewster's Millions 😂

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".

Those creatures that gave you the good-succ-hug terrified me as a child. I'm 36 and they still make me uneasy.

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
