Lacks the charm of the first two, but it was okay.

In this third installment to the DEATHSTALKER saga, a quest for three magical stones leads to trouble for Deathstalker & a Princess, when the evil powers that be try to stop them from getting them. Despite some okay acting, DEATHSTALKER III fails to match the entertaining level brought on by the first two installments, it's not as cheesy or as bloody as the original & has none of the humor of the second & the nudity that was so dominate in the first two, is kept to a bare minimum & the story is really no different than that of the ones that proceeded it. Still it was fun at times, but is nothing to memorable. Strictly for fans of the series. Followed by DEATHSTALKER IV: MATCH OF TITANS
